No respect

Brett glanced sideways at the person who was speaking to him, his eyes turned extremely cold making the temperature drop. His eyes hardened looking at the man who gave birth to him more like donated the sperm to give birth to him, he didn't like having an encounter with his so-called father. "I didn't know you planned for this date too, I guess that is the reason the woman you pick has the character as you," Brett remarked turning to look at his father.

"How can you say that to your father? Don't you have any bit of respect left for me?" Cole Harvey ( Brett's father ) muttered in a calm tone of voice. Underneath his voice there was a bit of hurt he was feeling, he didn't understand how his relationship with his son had turned so sour. "No I don't have any ounce of respect for you, do you expect me to respect you after what you have done? " Brett remarked with a bitter tone to his voice.

Brett couldn't help but remember the chaos caused by his father 20 years ago, many people had lost their lives because of his carelessness and greed. He couldn't also forgive his father because his father immediately got married to another woman, he felt hurt when he had witnessed it years ago and he still couldn't get the thoughts out of his mind. Cole brought his eyes down staring at his fingers, he wouldn't say he was feeling guilty.

He wasn't feeling remorseful for what he had done years ago, he had fallen deeply in love with her ( the other woman ) Without knowing and without thinking twice or second thoughts he had gotten married to her disregarding her pregnancy. He started up at his son whatsoever he was doing for his children's betterment and no one else. So he believed but it did little to convince others. "And so what, what I have done that deserves such harsh treatment," Cole screamed at his son.

Cole was a rug-looking man who never admits his mistakes but corrected others, especially people he deemed lower than he is. He was full of pride and greed, "you could have made it work out between you two, at least we would have gotten shares in her father's company. She is the only Successor of the Morgen industries, if you become her husband then you could rule over the company." Cole muttered with a determined expression on his face.

"I don't need anyone's wealth to be able to survive, I have enough money to keep me, my mother, and my little sister going. I can't marry someone because of the wealth they own without mutual understanding, getting to know each other first, and feelings of love between us. Unlike you did." Brett muttered with grit teeth, he was not a replica of his father. "We all know you married mom because of her wealth and family status." He added before turning around to walk away.

Cole ground his teeth in anger, he clenched his hands into a fist holding back himself from landing a slap on Brett's face. He knew he had wronged his first wife but it couldn't be helped, he wanted to be powerful and rich. "Also I already have a hospital which is the best you can find in Milan, so please refrain from making me seem like a beggar to Mr. Morgen. Else the consequences will be dire." Brett added before walking off into the mansion.

Cole groaned in frustration before returning to his car, he had come here to have a nice night with his first wife which included a few sexual activities and convincing her to force their son. but his mood was ruined and his plan didn't go as he thought it would, he could not go to his second wife either because she was becoming too demanding and It was upsetting. He had to go to a motel now to relieve himself and some stress before zooming off in his car.

*****

Brett repaired his expression, the cold aura surrounding him, and his sour mood before walking into the dining room area, he was confident his mother was there awaiting his arrival like she always does. "Hey mom, I missed you." His lips curved up gently as he said that gazing at the beautiful woman before him. She was the true definition of beauty for him, her Bluish Grey eyes that went along with her Dark black waist-long hair that had a shine to it.

He had gotten all these features from her alone, he smiled pulling her into a hug she was the best mom in the world. "Brett my child, how are you doing?" She asked smiling brightly at him. "Doing great mom, I missed you." He replied kissing her forehead. "Oh stop that, if you missed this old woman then you would give visited me," Adeline remarked pushing him away.

"That's unfair, do you have to treat me like this?" Brett murmured with poured lips, there was only one person he respect and was ready to act like a child before her, and that was his mother. "Yes I do, why did you make the Morgen girl cry? What did you do to her and who is the girl you kissed? Is she your girlfriend?" Adeline asked with a curious gaze. "I did not make her cry she even threatened me," Brett complained.

"Whatever I don't care about that, tell me the pretty young lady you kissed is she your girlfriend," Adeline asked batting her lashes at her son. She was expecting good news from him about already having a girlfriend, she was worried her son was not interested in ever getting married which would be a problem for him. "Mom how should I explain this..." He started thinking of the right words to use.

"Don't worry son, I will accept her even if she is bad-tempered as long as you love her." Adeline coaxed Brett to force words out of his mouth. She was ready to accept any kind of woman for him except Gold diggers of course.
