My Son's Dad

FOURTEEN

“No need to dodge Markus, your man has confessed everything. You're the one who framed Adara, you also ordered him to hurt Aaron and Lucas!” Damian gripped Mark's cheek, “You can't lie anymore Markus.”

Mark shook his head, it was all untrue. It was Markus who framed Adara but Markus never ordered Sean to hurt Aaron and Lucas.

Markus only orders Sean to stop Adara and Aaron's marriage but Sean shoots Aaron instead. And Markus never ordered Sean to hurt Lucas.

“Why didn't you tell Sean the truth?! Tell him that you did all that to blackmail me!!” Mark cried out to Sean who was just as tied up as he was at the other end, and they sat tied up a little far away.

“What are you talking about Markus? Obviously you asked me that day to shoot Aaron, you said you didn't want Adara to marry another man and that man deserved to die. Why did you leave everything to me, Markus?” Sean looked at Markus, spewing out his lies.

Markus again shook his head, “Don't! Don't believe his words, Om. That's not all true! Everything is not right!!”

Damian screeched, “Whatever you dodge will mean nothing to Markus, I already have all the evidence. I'm gonna put you in jail. And make sure you're languishing there forever.”

Damian leaves Mark and Sean, not caring about those who are still bound. Damian also locked the warehouse meeting.

Damian handed the key to one of his men, “Let them be locked. I'll tell you later the right time to take them to the police, now let them be locked up there.”

“Good Mr.”

“Why are you lying?” markus asked Sean, this time Sean showed his cynical smile, making Markus feel very fed up.

“I just did the thing you told Markus to do, I also told you the truth.”

“I never told you to shoot Aaron, nor did I ever tell you to hurt Lucas!!”

“Really? Hmm.. what a pity, no one will believe your word.”

“Bags you!!”

“Papa, where's Markus?!” Adara immediately stormed Damian with his question when he saw his father coming.

“Stop discussing the man Adara.”

“Markus wasn't Pa, it wasn't Mark who hurt Lucas. Markus was with Adara! Stop thinking so badly of Markus, Pa!”

“Bad thoughts? Papa doesn't think badly of him but he is a bad man. If he's as good as you say he is, it should have been that night when you were drunk he took you home, it's not that it traps you to make you sleep with a group of friends of yours and get pregnant out of wedlock like this!” Damian's emotion, he doesn't care anymore. Adara must know the truth so that Adara does not continue to continue to defend the bastard who is clearly wrong.

“A-what?” Adara shook her head, “Papa joking right? Markus can't be like that.”

Damian laughed bitterly, “You always thought he was good, you never believed Papa's words. Papa always asks you to stay away from him but you never want to hear, look now what he did. He is the mastermind of all the problems we face today. He set you up, he also told someone to shoot Aaron, and he also told someone to hurt Lucas because Lucas knew all his secrets

Damian saw how his daughter kept trying to dodge, not believing.

Mark is really dangerous, since Damian had felt strange to the child so Damian asked Adara to stay away from Mark.

Damian, however, was too rash to have let Mark near Adara all this time and Damian was also guilty of not making strict guard against his son, if he had been more responsive before this would have never happened.

Markus is right..

Flashbacks

Damian stepped inside the house with his big smile, he was already impatient to see his son.

“Where is Adara?” damian asked Clara, his wife who was holding Lucas.

Damian kisses Clara's forehead and Lucas' cheeks.

“She was in her room, playing with Markus.”

Damian clucked at Mark's name, he disliked the boy. Because Mark is the son of Juan, the man who once made trouble to Clara.

Damian knew Markus had nothing to do with his father's past mistakes but still Damian still could not get used to it.

Damian climbed the stairs, wanting to see his daughter.

Adara's bedroom door was not closed tightly, Damian could look inside and hear Adara's conversation with Lucas.

“Aaras dear Markus no?”

“Sayang.”

“If Adara loves Markus, don't play with Justin. Play with Markus only.”

“But Justin is also my friend Mark.”

“But Adara dear Markus, if Adara dear Markus do not play with Justin.”

Damian furrowed his brows, he somewhat disliked hearing the conversation. But it is just a casual conversation between children, it is common for children to be jealous of their friends.

But Damian's steps to get into Adara's room again stopped when he heard Mark's words.

“Just try Justin is handicapped Adara would not want to be friends with his.”

“Adara will remain a friend of Justin despite Justin's disability.”

“If she dies, Adara can't be her friend anymore right?”

Damian's feathers suddenly stood up, he felt goosebumps hearing that a child as small as Markus was jealous and even linked him to death.

The boy was really weird, and Damian became even more dislikeful of the boy.

Adara's phone suddenly rang, Adara got a phone call from the hospital.

“Mrs Adara, we want to inform you that a patient named Aaron has been conscious from his coma.”

Adara looked at Damian who was in front of her with glassy eyes. “Pa! Aaron Pa's! Aaron is conscious!”
