Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me Now

Theodora Birnir

The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."

"What about your charger?"

"Yeah, it's in my bag"

"And power bank?"

"I have it with me dad. I will be fine. Trust me."

"Ofcourse I know you will be fine on your own. I was just been extra careful. I want to make sure your phone haven't run out of power by the time I will be calling you"

"I know, don't worry."

Dad sigh as he turns towards the entrance of my new school. Highschool.

I also stares at the school building with mixed feeling, this is my first day at the school and I will be joining them when the school resumed about a month earlier. I wondered what the students will say.

"You will be fine." I heard dad's voice as I turned to him. He probably noticed my nervousness.

"You probably won't be the only Asian in your."

What a brilliant way to cheer me up dad.

I groaned as I picked up my school bag, wanting to get out of the car.

"Julian?"

I stopped as I turned to my dad.

"...."

"I am really sorry son."

"...." For?

"I know I haven't really been the best ever father to you. I was never always at home to take care of you and now I had to make you relocate about a thousand miles away from your childhood and friends."

Dad looks towards me as he continues. "But I am ready to be the best dad for you now. I really want to fill all the voids between us."

I smiled. Yes, he has work to go to and all, but when he is not doing that, he is always with me and all. Never failed to observed his parental duty. He is probably apologizing because we had to leave The Philippines so soon. But only if he knew he did me a great favor.

"I am fine dad. I know your work is important."

"No, you are the most important son." Dad replied as he spread his arms to hugs me, I slowly lean into the hug while he ruffles my hair gently. "You are my first and only priority. I want you to know that."

Yeah he can be a clingy father too.

I heard him sniffs as I moved away from him looking right at his face.

"You are crying?"

"No, I wasn't." He turned away from me making me to chuckles.

I totally understood my dad though. We just relocated here from The Philippines. My dad got promoted and got transferred here, California.

He is really happy about the move because he loves his job, and so am I. I really am happy for him. But not only him. For myself also.

It's like I got a lottery ticket to escape from hell. My country had been hell to me over three year now. Not the country that is hell but the people I used to call my friends who changed all of the sudden after I came out.

Yeah, I am gay.
