The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

I couldn't believe I would be drinking so many beer, and I know when to stop, but Isabelle was begging me to stop drinking even if I don't feel drunk at all, and I wanted to drink more because I felt so angry with my dad that I wanted to forget even once that he was my father. My sister always wins, she ended up putting the cooler back into the back of the pick up truck while my brothers are lying on the ground beside me.

"You can never convince me to sleep at our house tonight, Belle, there Is no way I will go back in there," I mumbled after a while, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my sister spread the picnic blanket, and she asked us to transfer to the blanket, but I could tell my brothers felt too tired to move from where they are lying.

"I know, Ashton, but you should go back for mom, and not for our father, I am sure mam will be thrilled to know, Axel." My sister responded, and I felt guilty that I haven't speak with my mom yet, and I know how much she missed me.

"Yeah, mom has been waiting for you to come home, bro, and I think you should go back to our parents' house," Lennon seconded.

"Don't speak with out father if you want, and I plan to tell dad about my secret this year, I could no longer keep it a secret, I needed the world to know who I am, and I wanted to come out from my shell, and in order to do that I need to tell him the truth." Cole declared.

"If you are ready to turn away from the life you are enjoying right now, and if you think you can handle his anger, and willing to give up your inheritance then why not?" Isabelle's responded.

"Well, I know I will not live in poverty because I can work any type of job, besides I know whatever happens you will never turn your backs on me, I know I have your full support emotionally and financially, so I don't think I need to be afraid to face our dad, and confess to him the truth." Cole stated.

"You don't need to worry about anything, Cole, I will be here to support you, but I think we will both end up losing our inheritance, I love Megan and Axel, and I couldn't leave them whatever happens." I responded.

"Well, you better bring your kid and Megan the next time you come back here at Astikoz, you will have your high school class reunion this month, right? That would be your chance to present Meganand Axel to our father, and intorduced them to him." Lennon suggested.

"I don't think that is a good idea, Lennon, we all know our dad hated Megan from the very start, and I don't want Megan to undergo the same pain again, you know our father, I am sure he will never care if Megan is already tge CEO of her own company, all he ever wanted for me is someone like Lauren, and you all know how Lauren hated me after I told her I will never love her in front of you." I responded.

"And now that Lauren disapperared from my life, dad wanted me to marry Claire, even if he knew it will never work out between us." I added.

"So, what is your plan now, Ashton?" My sister asked me.

"Well, I will get ready, because I know anytime oir father would fire me, and I think I need to build my own business, I've got savings from my football career, and from my endorsements, and I've got an offer to become a male lead of the upcoming movie of the number one movie production in the country," I said, and my brothers sat up quickly.

"Please, don't tell us you accept the offer," Cole stated, and I almost laughed when I saw the expressions on their faces.

"Relax, I never exoected I will end up one of the most popular celebrity in the countey when I started my football career, and after what happened between Gael and me, I don't think I will chose the same path again, maybe I will accept product endorsements, but I will never accept any offer to become an actor." I declared.

"I don't want to stress Megan, and I couldn't imagine my life without them," I added.

"Are you going to tell her about what our meeting was all about?" Cole asked, and it took me a long time to answer his question, and I don't even know what to do about it because it was so unfair to my son. He is my first born, and I wanted my parents to accept and love my son because Axel is their first grandchild.

"I don't know yet, but I will find a way to secure them, and I think it is about time to ask Megan to marry me in secret." I mumbled, and I could see the pain on my sister's face.

"Ashton, do you think Megan will not wonder why you marry her in secret? And I don't think that is a good idea as of now, dad is still upset about you for having a son without his knowledge, and he is determined to ruin your relationship with Megan by making you choose between her and your career, and not only that Axel's futire was at stake." My sister said.

"I don't think my son needs more companies, he will still have a good future because I know he will be the heir of Megan's company," I said feeling so lost.

"Come on, Ashton, we all know Axel is the future heir of dad's empire because he is your eldest son, and don't lose hope yet, we need to have a plan on how to change dad's mind, and I think the first thing we can do is to convince our mom to be with our side, and I am sure dad will do everything for our mother." Cole said, and we all looked at him.

"We are all aware that dad will always follows mom's request," He added.

"I am not sure if it will work out, because I could tell with regards in raising and disciplining us mom never get involve. She was always silent, but we can try it, who knows mom will have a change of heart, and I think we should head back to our house and let us not make our mother worry, and if we want her to be on our side we should start opening up to her." Isabelle stated and we all agreed with her.

Isabelle drove the car going back to our ancestrak home, while the three of us settled at the back on the pick-up bed, and we were laughing as we tried to drink more beer, and we all know it will upset our sister, but we couldn't stop ourselves from having fun, and our faces turned serious the moment we reached the driveway of our house.

Isabelle was right, and I couldn't believe our mother was waiting for us on the front porch, and she got up from the chair when she saw us coming, and I could see the tears on her eyes as we got closer to her. And I felt so guilty for walking out without saying goodbye to her.

"I thought you were all gone, and you got back to your places without saying goodbye to me, I miss you all, my children, and I wanted to apologize for your father's behavior, he is getting old, and I hope you will widen your understanding." Mom said right away, and I Isabelle put her arm around mom's shoulders while I felt so guilty.

"I am sorry, mom, if I walk out from the library, I don't want to argue with dad, and I was thinking the best thing I can do is stay away while I can still control myself." I said, and she looked at me with full of affection, and when she motioned me to come closer with her, I didn't waste my time, and I hugged my mom, and I kissed her both cheeks, and when she released me from her embrace I caressed my mom's face, and even if she looked older now compared eight years ago, I could still see the undying beauty of my mom.

"Can we have a talk, Ashton?" She asked, and I nodded my head and I said good night to my siblings and mom walked me towards my room, and she sat on the edge of the bed the moment we got inside, and I seated next to her.

"Ashton, why didn't you tell me you've got a son?" My mom asked.

"I only knew about Axel recently mom, Megan hide the truth from me for eight years because of what I had down to her because of dad, and now that I've got her back in my life, dad is trying to ruin everything again, why it has to be this way, mom? Why dad could be so cruel?" I asked as I looked at her sideways, and I felt mom take my hand, and he caressed them.

"I am sorry, Ashton that you both suffer because of your dad's horrible decision, but don't worry, son, this time I will never allow any of my children to hate us again, I wanted to help you this time, I have been silent for a long time, but I couldn't take.it anymore, I could see the pain beneath tour sadness, son, and it breaks my heart to see you like this," Mom responded.

And I couldn't believe what I heard, and I felt so happy to hear those words coming from my mother, and it feels so comforting to know that at last, I have my mother's support, and this time I can feel my mom's love for me, and I am hopeful for the best that yet to come for us, And I couldn't stop grinning at my mother as I mumbled my thanks.
