Love me, daddy

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

James POV:

As Maria left the room, I was swallowed hard; I wasn’t used to have someone like her–who’d care about me that dearly. Her presence seemed to fill up the entire room and maybe…my life, now that she was gone, it felt really empty. Picking up the reports, I went through them again. It was devastating to learn that Maria couldn’t get pregnant again. Maybe everyone eventually gets punishment for their sins.

I picked up my phone and called Harry, “Good morning, Mr. Black,” He said. “How can I help you?” He asked.

I walked towards the window in silence and looked out. Whatever Maria said about my mother went across my head. Her words were powerful enough to change my emotions towards my mother.

“I want a ride to the Peak View hospital in ten minutes, if it’s possible,” I said in a dominating tone. I heard Harry rush around and get up. It was early in the morning and most of the drivers were still asleep, apart from Harry because he usually had the night duty.

“Sure, Mr. Black!” He replied.

“Fine, I will see you down,” After that, I cut off the call and went back inside my room. I instructed one of the workers to clean up my room because Maria had messed it up too much. She threw all the covers and sheets on the ground, slipped juices and drinks everywhere. She was a really careless girl, but she was my girl so I liked her either way.

“Mr. Black, you have two meetings today,” My receptionist and my assistant, Claire, came up to me inside my office and said.

Thankfully Maria was gone or else Claire would have informed my father about allowing a student to sleep inside my bedroom…especially one of his favorite students. This woman was crazy but she was really hot.

“What meetings and with who?” I questioned as I quickly went over the files before leaving to the hospital. I wanted to make sure I didn’t have much work when I came back from there.

“You have a meeting with Mr. Albert, your lawyer, and Mr. Grayson, for business related stuff,” Claire explained as she went though her notepad.

She was the inside man to my father and I avoided telling her anything because then she’d directly go to my father and tell him.

“Cancel them; I am going somewhere important so if anyone comes up, say them I am out of office for today,” I ordered as I got up from my seat and grabbed my wallet and phone. I walked towards the door and Claire followed me.

“Where are you going, Mr. Black?” She questioned from behind. I surpassed a groan and turned out to her.

“You don’t need to know where I am going Claire, keep your business to yourself and don’t interfere in mines. You are just my employee, nothing more and nothing less,” I scolded. I hated when anyone interfered in my s**t. It got me really mad.

“I have been noticing since a few days that you have changed your behavior with me.” Claire walked towards me and placed her hand on my shoulder seductively. “You seem really worried these days, I can make you feel better,” She bit her lip and continued, causing tension in the air.

I grabbed her wrists and pushed her back, “Just because I f****d you a few times doesn’t mean I will f**k you always. Go do your s**t and stay away from mines!” I exclaimed before walking away.

Claire was an intimating young woman without any doubt. She was extremely pretty and she had an amazing body. She was just a few years younger than me and I never really liked her. However, I encountered s*x with her a few times while Maria was away. I regretted it but there was nothing else I could do.

“Mr. Black, your ride is ready,” Harry said as he motioned me towards the car.

“Thank you, Harry, can you make it fast? I want to return to the school before the classes end,” I asked.

Harry nodded his head and I sat inside the car. He began the engine and drove out of the school.

“Is everything alright? Why would you want to visit a hospital?” Harry questioned after a moment of silence.

“Just a few things…” I trailed off. I didn’t want anyone to know that I was going to meet my abusive mother. “How long is it going to take?” I asked as I changed the topic.

“Approximately an hour,” Harry replied. I nodded my head and looked out of the window for the rest of the ride.

––

“Mr. Black, we have arrived at Peak View Hospital,” My driver, Harry said as he stopped the car in front it.

“Thank you, Harry. I will call you once I am done.” I replied before getting out of the car and going inside the hospital.

Walking towards the reception, I gave the woman the report I had taken from Maria.

“I want an appointment with this gynecologist,” I said as I pointed my finger on the name written above the reports.

The receptionist took the reports and added something inside the computer while I looked around the interior of the hospital. Before anything, Maria came. Even before my own mother. She was more special to me than anyone else.

“Ms. Anna doesn’t come till 10; I will book your appointment for then if that’s fine?” The woman asked.

I nodded my head. “Sure,”

“What’s your name?” She asked as she moved her gaze away from the computer and at me.

“James Black,” I replied. She typed my name and then asked me my number, after giving her all my details, she gave me a paper.

“ It’s 9 right now so you can wait here or come back at 10,” She suggested as she handed me the slip.

“Thank you, I will be here,” I smiled and walked away. I didn’t go to the waiting room; instead, I went inside the elevator and up to where my mother was placed.

I had been given all information about my mother’s whereabouts. When she will be discharged, when she is home and when she is at the hospital. My father took care of my mother in a way that caused her pain; he showed her affection but inflicted pain also. The kind of person I always wanted to be.

The hallways were dark and empty. The hospital wasn’t yet opened completely and the staff also was only found on the ground floor. I twisted the door knob and took a large breath in. This was going to be the most difficult thing I was ever going to do.

Pushing the door open, I walked inside and released the breath that I had been holding. My chest felt a lot lighter when a person came in my view. Deep wrinkles sagged into her skin, she was sleeping but she wasn’t in a deep sleep so when she noticed my presence, her eyes fluttered open.

I drew my attention away from those toxic eyes and placed my gaze on the amount of injections and IV’s she had attached to her skin. It was slightly painful to see her condition but everything that she had done with me, ran across my head.

“James,” She breathed out as she struggled to get up. Her heart ratings in the monitor fastened as she tried to get a hold of me.

“I am not going to allow you to touch me so you don’t need to struggle, lie down back,” I ordered. And she dropped down back on the bed immediately.

I stood far away from her as she still looked like the woman who’d hurt me.

“You came to me, that’s all I wanted,” She placed her hand on her chest and gave me a wide smile before closing her eyes. “I’m sorry, James. I have made too many mistakes,” She added.

Looking at her condition caused the hair on my skin to rise, “Glad to see you’re in pain after all the mistakes you committed,” My tongue rolled out those words without even thinking.

“I know, I deserve this pain…but you don’t. You deserve to be only happy,” She said.

“Well if you are going to keep budging me, I am definitely not going to be happy,” I rolled my eyes and stated.

“Don’t worry, I will go away soon, my time has come and now that I have seen you, I have nothing else to live for.” My mother said.

I turned my gaze towards the wall and kept silence. Is this what Maria wanted me to do? Well, I have done it and now I wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

“Maria has sent you here right?” My mother questioned, pulling me out my thoughts.

I nodded my head, “Yes, she did.”

“I love that child; she’s so beautiful from the outside and the inside. Tell me, James, do you love her?” My mother asked. A part of me wished that she never asked this question.

I struggled to utter the truth but I eventually gave in, “Yes, I do,” I stated. Regardless of what all happened between us, I still did really love her. My heart was only conquered by her, no one else.

My mother gave me a penetrating gaze as if she wasn’t assured of my response, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I love her,” I repeated with a bit of arrogance in my tone.

“You don’t hurt someone you love, and I have seen those marks on her face and hands, James.” My mother said.

I wanted to mentally slap my head for Maria to even come here in the first place. I should’ve restricted her from going anywhere.

“Well, you also gave me pain while you loved me right? So what’s the problem if I’m doing the same?” I questioned as I folded my hands across my chest and sat on a chair nearby.

The woman opened her mouth but she wasn’t able to give a response to my reply.

“James…”

“Oh, please, don’t begin with your dramatic acting right now. You are going to die and it has been so many years since everything. Think about your own life and stop interfering in mines or Maria’s. I will love her the way I want to and even if it includes giving her pain because that’s how I was taught love.” I explained.

“You are going to hurt her again? She’s just a little girl,” My mother argued.

“I was also little then,”

“Remove your anger on me, not her! She didn’t do anything to you. Why are you making her pay for mistakes that I have done? I am the one to be blamed for everything wrong you have become… no one else.” She explained.

I took a large breath in and got up. I went by her side and stood straight, “I told you, I only hurt people I love. That’s all. I am not going to hurt you because I don’t love you and what are you going to do about Maria? Tell her about my violence? She is never going to see you again and I can do whatever I want with her,” I smiled, leaning down to her.

She should also see the monster she had created. My mother coughed and tried to get up again.

“No! Please, don’t hurt her.” My mother said. I ignored it all and walked outside the room.

This is what Maria wanted me to do? See her? Well, I did.

“James!” She screamed but I slammed the door behind me and walked back downstairs, ignoring all her pleads. The last thing I was going to ever do was to listen to my mother.

While walking downstairs, I received a call from someone. As I removed my phone, I noticed it was Claire.

I groaned and picked it up, “What do you want?!” I questioned abruptly.

“Your father, Mr. Arthur, is here to meet you. I have told him that you are gone for something important so he told me to inform him once you are back. Meanwhile, he is going around school and seeing the staff.” Claire explained. Suddenly, my whole entire world came crashing down. Maria was there inside that school and so was my father.

“Go immediately and call him back to the office, make him wait there, I will there in an hour! Don’t let him out of sight, do you understand?” I exclaimed out of fear.

“Yes, I understand.”

After that, I cut off the call and just looked forward blankly. If Maria got in hands of my father while I was away, she would be doomed. It wasn’t too late to inform her too.

I called Maria and silently hoped she would have her phone. It was anyways break time, she’d have it.

“James?” Maria said as she picked up the call.

“Maria, go back to dorm right now and don’t come out until I say so. If someone doesn’t allow you in, call me and I’ll tell them to let you go.” I instructed quickly.

“Why?” She asked, sounding completely confused.

“Don’t ask why! Listen to me and go,” I exclaimed.

“Okay, I will go, anyways the classes were boring.” She sighed, finally agreeing. I let out a breath of relief when she understood what I was telling her.

“Go now and tell me when you are in your room safely,” I said.

“Okay, daddy,” I heard her shuffle and then leave away from the crowd she was sitting in. I closed the call and shoved the phone back inside my pocket.

One tension was out of my head but what was I going to do about my father? He promised me he wouldn’t come to school often, especially after winter vacations. So why was he here again?

Thank god, I had sent the lawyer away today. I thought to myself.

I was going to walk out of the hospital when the receptionist stopped me, “Mr. Black, Ms. Anna is here, and you can go in now.” She said while pointing towards the directions on the wall.

The gynecologist

Fuck!

I smiled at the receptionist and went inside to where the direction stated the room was. In the meantime, I texted Harry to come to the front of the hospital in five minutes.

“Good morning, what has bought you here?” The woman inside the room asked as I sat down. I handed her the reports as she was the one who examined Maria.

She went through them thoroughly and then looked surprised, “Oh, Ms. Maria, is she your?”

“Yes, she is my girlfriend,” I cut her off and completed the sentence for her quickly.

“Oh, so what would you like to know?” the woman asked me.

“What do the reports say?” I inquired. I wanted to know in detail about what was wrong with Maria so I could help her in some way. She was in a horrible state when I got her from the dirty streets last night.

The monster inside me was fully awake and mad when I learned she wasn’t back in the school, but when I found her, it just vanished away. Otherwise, I was going to do the worse with Maria. Worse than she would have even thought about.

“She cannot be pregnant because her fallopian tubes have been blocked. I did tell her that it was because of the sudden trauma or impact she had while she had…if you know she was pregnant before?” The gynecologist asked and I nodded my head. “Yes, so the abortion affected her fertility.” She added.

“And is there anything possible?” I asked.

“Of course, there are many options available. There are a few surgeries but they are extremely painful and severe,” The woman said.

“Tell me,”
