Chapter 17: CHAPTER 17

ADAN

Dad invited me to lunch. I wasn't certain what the lunch was about, but I showed up anyway. However, I did not expect to see Liam, his golden son in the family dining room when I walked in.

Dad has never failed to remind me that Liam is his legitimate son and I am nothing other than a mistake made out of wedlock. I have spent all my life, trying to live up to the standard which Liam set and so far I haven't been successful.

"It took you so long to get here," Liam stated as he looked up from his plate of food. 

Of course, they started dining without me. "The traffic was pretty bad, hence the delay," I replied in a clipped voice as I sat down.

Nodding, he returned to his food. "I took the same route though and everywhere seems to be clear."

"Have a seat." Dad grumbled. "you don't have to create  a nuisance even after being late."
