“What the hell? What are you talking about Em?” Tobias asks.
“Tobias, Tyler go to your room. I need to speak with Emlyn alone.” My father answers.
“No, no fucking way. They are staying and you will tell me the truth.” My father motion for us to sit on the sofa. We do as we are told and wait for him to begin.
“Yes, this is true that you weren’t adopted as I told you. I mean, I have adopted you but not legally. I changed your name and gave you my surname. I gave you a completely new identity and changed my data from two to three children. A friend of mine helped me to do this under the radar and we moved to London in order not to arouse suspicions.” I take a deep breath. My whole life was a lie. I erased the memory and focused only on the good things. I knew that their story about migration for better life was shit. The story didn’t add up, but I never suspected that it has something to do with me. My father sits next to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. “I also didn’t find you as I told you, but you already know that. My business… is bigger than I told you. I am a boss man in three countries, and I am still expending the territory. Our family is powerful, but we have competitors, enemies. I had a friend once. We have been co-workers, you can say. We planned together, we invested together but one day he fell in love and leave me without capital. He took more than a half of his shares and most of our customers. I needed to build my empire from scratch and I also had a wife who was pregnant. I wanted to build for her and my child a stable home, and that asshole took everything from me! I planned my revenge slowly and carefully. I didn’t want to take money or clients from him because that was something easy to take. I wanted him to hurt as much as his betrayal hurt me. I waited four years, four long years and still didn’t have an idea how to hurt him. Then my wife died in a car accident and I felt nothing. The idea enlightened me then, what is the best revenge? Take something from him, something he desired. A child. I knew that his wife born a girl at exactly the same time Tyler was born. I thought that I will take you and ask him to beg, to beg for his only child. Beg for mercy. But it didn’t go like I planned. When I took you and ask him for begging, he rejected. He said that you were the obstacle which I kindly took away. He was happy that you are gone. His wife was a model, she wasn’t a mother material and she was happy to give you for free. Those assholes even asked me if I need your clothes or if I will buy you new ones. I wanted to leave you somewhere. I was angry, angry because my plan failed. But then I took your hand and you smiled at me. Your eyes shined with this energy, with love. You squeezed my hand and said that everything will be fine and if I want to play with you. My heart melted because you were that light in my life. You made me smile and I didn’t smile for a long time. It showed me that I cannot give you away, that I need to take responsibility for my actions and become your father. A father who will provide for you, who will love you and help when you need help. Of course, I gave you choice. I couldn’t decide for you, so I asked if you want to come with me and you agreed.” I cry for the whole time. This story is so unbelievable. They didn’t want me. I was an object that wasn’t wanted. They throw me away as soon as the chance appeared. Tom kidnapped me for bad reasons, he used me. He didn’t respect that I was a child, a human, he just took away my life. But is it really that bad? If I agreed to go with him, maybe I wasn’t happy there? Tom gave me his love and become my father. He never treated me bad and maybe I shouldn’t judge his actions. But everything is so unexpected that I don’t know what to think now. I need time.
I stand up, look at my father and Tyler, and Tobi who is crying. I smile at him and focus on my father.
“I need time. You should have told me. If I was that important for you, you would tell me. And you Ty, if you would love, you would never hide the truth.” With that, I leave the room and house and go to the only safe place I know.
Chapter 15
I take my motorcycle from the garage. I put the helmet and start the engine. On the way to the roof, I realise that Liam could be there, and I don’t want to see him right now. What would I tell him? That he was right? That my family lied to me for my whole life and I blindly followed their orders like
