TRAVIS
<~EDITED~>
"Thank you Travis. I don't know what I'd do without you" Elaine said as she tended to my wounds.
I hissed in pain at the contact with the alcohol.
"It's ok" was my response to her.
"No it's not. It's my fault your dad is threatening Mona." She stared at me sadly.
I couldn't argue but it's really not entirely her fault. I guess?. I did tell her about mona but not to gloat or anything. Just because she wanted to know.
"I'll find a way out" I said staring absentmindedly at the ceiling.
I have to find a way that's safer for everyone. I sighed heavily as I remembered Mona had an appointment today.
I promised I would be there and I wasn't. I hope she doesn't hate me now. She probably already does.
"I promised I would be there for the appointment but I wasen't" I let out.
"What appointment?" Elaine asked confused.
"Mona's pregnant" I confessed.
"That fast huh?" She laughed slightly,her tone laced with hurt.
"It wasn't planned at first but the second time I kinda wanted to get her pregnant" I bit my lip,a little embarrassed by it.
"Woah Travis" Elaine looked amused.
"I know" I groaned.
That was stupid but I was desperate. Mona was set on not being with me and I kinda just.....I don't know..... wasn't ready to lose what I didn't have yet.
I guess fate already had other plans.
"I'm going to bed. Do you need anything else?"Elaine asked when she was done,as she rubbed her protruding belly.
She was way ahead of Mona.
"No. Goodnight" I smiled softly.
She nodded smiling back before strutting to her room. I exhaled once she was gone.
I already had a plan. I'm not sure if it's safe or not but I don't really have a choice. I had to do this if I really wanted to be with my family.
The next day I made sure my dad didn't send his minions to watch me. I got into my car and drove to my cousin's Manor which was over an hour and half away.
At the gate of the manor the guards posted there asked me to stop and I obeyed.
"Who are you here for?" One of the big intimidating guard asked. His face was set in a deep frown.
"I wanna see my cousin Ivan" I said matching his glare.
"Who are you?" He spat gripping his gun tightly.
"Like I said. I'm his cousin" I said calmly.
I needed to play it cool if I wanna leave here with my life and i did want to leave here still intact with my soul.
He wanted to say something when his phone rang. He whipped it out angrily yelling 'what' into the phone.
I watched as he's face suddenly turned pale.
"I'm s-sorry boss" he's intimidating demure suddenly dropped and I almost laughed.
"Y-es boss" he hung up before shouting for the gates to be opened.
I drove in with a smug look on my face. Once I parked I took a deep breath before hopping out of the car.
I went up the steps before knocking on the grand door. I was recieved into the building by a girl. Probably one of the maids.
"Good day sir. This way please" she gestured for me to follow her and I did.
We walked into a hallway, stopping at the last door, She knocked softly. We heard a 'come in' from inside.
She opened the door but didn't go in. I gave her a confused look but She ignored me. I entered the room and was greeted with an expensive sight.
The room had high ceilings and walls painted gold and red. The furnitures were even looking more expensive.
My eyes finally landed on the person seated on the fancy chair behind the oak desk.
"Ivan" I gave him a tight lipped smile.
He didn't return my smile and I let mine slip. I guess that's my fault. It's the first time I'm seeing him in 6 years.
"What do you want Travis?" he sounded indifferent and irritated.
"Before I start I wanna say I'm sorry" I said.
"I don't care" he scoffed standing up from his chair and walking up to me.
"Again what do you want?" He stood close to my face.
We had the same green eyes,same height but we look nothing alike. He was more on the Asian side from his mother as his father is my mother's brother.
"I need your help" I confess.
"There it is" he chuckled darkly.
I closed my eyes. I can see this was not gonna be easy. I wasn't expecting it to.
"Forget about me for six years now you want something you suddenly remembered me huh?" I saw the hurt in his eyes but he needed to understand it really wasn't my fault.
"I'm sorry Ivan. My dad-"
"Your dad? Why don't you just admit it's your fault and not blame other people!" He spat.
"Fine. Fine. It was my fault. I shouldn't have done every fucking thing my dad wanted me to do. I regret it and that's why I need your help" I pleaded.
He was quiet. Probably thinking over if he should help me or not. Honestly if he didn't I wouldn't blame him.
"Fine" he agreed.
I sighed in relief and silence ensued as we stared at each other. He had changed. Not alot. He just had more tattoes than i last saw him.
His lips tugged upwards in a small smile"I missed you bro" he pulled me into his embrace.
"Me too. Me too" I patted his back.
I'm coming mona. I thought after we pulled away.
"So you wanna tell me why you need my help man?"
I looked him dead in the eyes "I need your help to take down my dad"
His smile turned sadistic.
