THE REVEAL

Theo's heart thumped faster and tilted to what triggered his long-lost memory. He remembered what happened like it was yesterday.

FLASHBACK

Little Theo was screaming in the car loud as his sister was in the driver's seat driving very fast.

" Ruth..calm down" his dad ordered.

Ruth's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and little Theo exposed that Dad was getting a car for her 18th birthday, so she begged him to teach her so she'd drive her friends out.

" Dad, chill. This is how we roll " She laughed hysterically while driving fast.

She looked up at the mirror and smiled at Theo, who was enjoying the ride.

Ruth shrugged slowing down, " You see Theo is also enjoying the ride. Hold on, I'm not a licensed driver….."

He cut in, " Your license will be ready tomorrow. Just be a good girl and it'll be handed over to you "

That's how Theo's dad was rich. He could get a big munch of work done in a few hours. He was the big gun, a wealthy and influential man in the finance world.

There was absolutely nothing he couldn't afford for his family. His family was his heritage and his drive to earn more money.

 Ruth squealed louder than the car, " Ahhhhhhhhh. I love you, daddy. " 

" Theo, don't we love daddy? We are going to the park tomorrow, thank God for giving you a big mouth. I will never complain again. " 

" Ok…also about diary??? " Theo smiled sheepishly.

" What? "

" Nothing sis!! "

Ruth stepped on the accelerator, and Theo cheered more and more for his sister. Little did he know what the next minute awaited them.

In a twinkle of an eye, Theo heard a loud thud in the car as he saw himself covered in broken car glass. He started crying and went over to his dad and saw them both lifeless in the seat.

Little did he know about life and death.

END OF FLASHBACK 

Theo….. explain him sulking.

He felt a flint of guilt when he saw the picture of his father, just like the one in his room.

" Who are you?? " He asked, his eyes reddy and sore.

The man walked forward in his expensive and luxurious suit looking bright.

He adjusted his sleeves and retorted, " I'm your long-lost uncle!!! "

By the mention of that word," uncle" a feud of anger burst in his nerves, uncle!!!!

He has been waiting for this moment all this while in life. To see the stupid relatives who abandoned him when he was the only child left by his father.All these years where he was struggling alone, feeding alone and living alone.

He scoffed, slowly raising his head, his hands clutched on the ground, " Really? My uncle!!! P*f…now you're my uncle. Don't you ever call yourself my uncle, you're not worth that title. "

" Theo.. don't let your emotions get the better of….

Theo stood up like he was pulled up by a magnetic force, " Would you….Argh, do you know how I've lived all these years? For almost 20 years. Everybody abandoned me, none of you came to help me. "

" I struggled to eat. I was bullied, and I never attended college. My dad and I planned to go to the prestigious Prince University. But " Theo broke down in tears.

" I was given the chance to attend online lectures to study business administration but stopped due to my heavy load of work. And now, I have no job worthy of being called a job, no girlfriend, no wife, no life, and no family. Do you know how I swirled through this pool of disaster? " 

" You have no idea, Theo!!!! "

The man gave a stiff but what looked remorseful glare. 

He throbbed his head backward and screamed, " I was sent to an orphanage home even though my father was rich. None of you mother fuckers came to help while I was being violated ."

Paul spoke with an alarming voice, " Watch your tone, young man!!! "

" What if I don't? I kept mute all my life, and I will open the stitches bonded to my mouth!!! I spent years in the orphanage book till when I was 18. Had to struggle for money when my father's properties and riches were laying in your filthy hands ."

Paul composed himself and let out none of the glint of angry or sad emotion. Was he guilty?

Theo drastically let out a heavy sigh. 

Paul, whose hands were still tugged in his pocket, blurted out, " Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Isn't that what your dad has always taught you!! "

Theo clicked his tongue and turned around, " I don't think I can engage in this disgusting conservation again. Mr paul, goodbye and good luck in enjoying what is not yours. "

The door paved the way for Theo. But when he was about to set foot outside the room, Paul abruptly stopped him.

" There are more properties for you. You just have to sign a contract to get them, there are more than things you don't understand. " He said with a smirk.

Theo shook his head and went back to him. What did he just say? 

He questioned hastily, " And what do you mean by that? Of course, I do understand everything. " 

Paul walked to him, the sounds of his steps echoing in the room, " It's more than just your tiny understanding!!! "

" Follow me!! " He firmly spoke, leading him into another room.

Just a minute ago, the conversation was declared over by Theo. Now…. it's getting spicy.

Theo fed his curiosity and followed him. " If he tries anything stupid, I'm gonna stab him in the back, I don't care wherever I g

o " 

He was led into a room and what he saw shocked him to death!!!!!

" A room full of…….
