Chapter 0307
The rest of the ride continues in silence. Tessa's constant sighs and heavy breaths makes me understand that she's still not okay with us going to see my parents. I'm not okay with it either, but like I said, it's just for formality.
Minutes later, we arrive at my father's mansion and I park in the premises. He's expected to evacuate this place in three days. I have no idea how my father is going to survive in the suburbs without his wealth and influence.
"We're here." I tell Tessa once I meet her at her side of the car door. She silently nods her head and flashes me a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. Her nervousness is shimmering in her eyes and tattooed all over face. I have no idea what language I can use to make her understand that she has nothing to be scared of.
I take her delicate hands in mine, intertwining our fingers together as I majestically lead the way to the front porch.
It seems the banishment has already started taking effect because the guards who used to be stationed at various corners of the compound are nowhere to be found. At the front door, I ring the doorbell and moments later, the door is opened by a servant who immediately bows down her head the moment she sees me.
"Good day, Delta Kyle." She greets, stepping away from the door. I return her greeting and lead Tessa into the house.
"Where are my parents?" I ask, heading to the living room.
"Upstairs."
"Tell them I'm here to see them."
"Yes, Delta." She bows again before turning to head for the staircase. My gaze travels to Tessa who is now fidgeting. Her face has gone crimson red. She's surely going to faint when she sees my father.
"You can have a seat." I say and she vigorously shakes her head in denial.

"There's no way in hell I'm going to do that. Just let me keep standing." I raise both hands in defeat.
"Okay. If you say so."
"I say so."
"Cool." I shut my mouth lest I say something that's going to upset her. The last thing I want is for us to have a fight now. The atmosphere is already too tense. A fight between us is going to suffocate me.
"If you are here to beg for
forgiveness, leave. What you've done is unforgivable!" My father's deep voice comes through and both Tessa and I whip our heads to the staircase where I spot him descending with an eternal frown masked on his face.

His words replay in my mind and their absurdity makes me chuckle in amusement.
Here to ask for forgiveness. What exactly for?
"You sided with that pompous ass called Reagan and let him kill your sister for very stupid reasons." He takes the last step and starts walking towards me. Out of fear, Tessa stands behind me.
"Stupid reasons?" I ask, annoyed. "You call murder and defamation stupid reasons?"
"She was your sister!"
"I'm very well aware of that, father. I advised her time and again to stop pursuing a lost cause, but she refused to listen. She had it coming!" As usual, that earns me a heavy smack on my left jaw from him.
He never gets tired of hitting me.
