"You are more than a disgrace to this family!" my father shouted no more than a second after his fist collided with my left cheek. "You were given nothing but the best and look at what you repay us with!" A foot hit my stomach, knocking the breath from my lungs.
I could see my mother in the distance through blurred vision, she was appalled at me. I coughed, choking on the blood from a split lip. I wanted to respond, but it was hard to breathe. I was trapped, laying on the floor at the mercy of my father.
"Who will run this company?" he shouted down at me. "You knew I was retiring today! Without you leading it, it will fall apart faster than you can blink!"
Of course I knew that. It was time that his evil ways stopped, time that his "company" disbanded and dissolved. I would tell him, if I could, but I was still taking my punishment.
A man in a business suit ran into the room, gazing warily down at me before muttering something to my father. His eyes went wide; I knew what had been said, the company had ended.
My father knelt down, slapping me hard once before he took my collar in his fist, pulling me into a pained sitting position an inch from his face. "You are no longer part of this family. No one will want you after the stunts you've done. You're a failure, a useless wimp of a man that will never amount to anything."
With those final words, I could just barely hear thunder rumbling low over the mountain not far from the mansion we lived in, my father slammed me down onto the marble flooring. My head hit hard, my already blurred vision completely blacking. I tried not to lose consciousness as my body was lifted, limp and weak, over the shoulder of someone. I was dumped outside, the thunder getting closer as I lay in the grass watching the storm's wind rustle the leaves of the trees.
A thought whispered through my mind before I finally passed out.
"It was raining when you first met her."
I hope you enjoyed. Reviews would be nice!
Until next time, nakamatachi.
