Chapter 5

Scot spent the night in one of his father's mansions, where he was treated like a prince. The house was so large that it could house a whole community. There were housekeepers on duty at all times to attend to Scot. The chef prepared many meals for him upon his arrival last night, and a warm shower awaited him. 

It made Scot feel so good, something he hasn’t been able to feel in a very long time.

The mansion’s interior was well furnished with modern amenities and the paintings on the wall completed the color of the curtains. When he was shown his room, he couldn’t believe how large it was because it looked larger than Jane’s parents living room and dining joined together. It could fit an entire family.

Scot's new life is so great that he has forgotten about the difficult times. Scot even slept like a baby under the cool air conditioner for the first time in his life. He was so deep in in the sleep that it was his phone's ringing that woke him up.

"Good morning, son, how are you?" Mr. Donald inquired of Scot from the other side of the line.

"Good morning, dad," Scot greets while stifling a yawn and stretching his body, he had a smile on his face.

His dad wanted to check on him immediately he came out of his prompt business meeting.

"I hope you slept well, son," he asked. 

"Yes dad, I did," Scot yawned then stretched again. 

“You went out really early” Scot states.

“Yes, I had an impromptu meeting with all the HR’s in my companies in this division. I wanted them to know of the new changes that would be coming” his father said, “Now that I found my son, there has to be some kind of change, you know?” the smile could be heard in his tone. 

“Well, I will be delighted to know what changes would be made then”

“Yes, we will talk about it when I get home. I’m almost home”

“I’ll be expecting you dad” the call was disconnected and Scot stood up to get ready for the day.

He was glad because now, he didn’t have to start thinking about where to go when he wife threw him out of the house.

After he had gotten ready and changed into one of his clothes the maid helped him to dry-clean, he came downstairs and asked if his dad was home already and just then, the door opened to reveal Mr. Donald coming inside with a maid carrying his bag for him.

“Thank you” Mr. Donald thanked the maid as Scot took his briefcase from the maid and she bowed then left the both of them together.

"Hey dad," Scot put the briefcase on the couch and hugged his dad. 

They exchanged pleasantries and smiled at each other. 

"I was just about to have breakfast, join me dad," Scot said to his father, his face beaming. 

Mr. Donald grinned, noticing how Scot's mood had shifted recently, it made him overjoyed. "Thank you but I had taken something earlier, why don’t you finish eating and we can get going to one of my companies," Mr. Donald said.

Scot felt excited that his father couldn’t wait to show him to the world. “Already?” he asked.

“The earlier the better, it will give me great rest now that I know that my son is found and is managing my companies well” 

Mr. Donald went to his home office to pick up some files and in a manner of minutes, Scot was ready and they set out to head for the company.

"So, Scot, tell me about your wife," his dad asked as they drove away.

Scot was irritated by the question since it brought up old thoughts of Jane. 

"Dad, I'd rather not talk about her," Scot replied, his demeanor changing already. 

Mr. Donald persuaded further, and Scot agreed to tell him about Jane. He told him how much he loved her and how Jane and her parents mistreated him because he was poor. Her father didn’t come as frequent as her mum because he told him that he can’t be seeing a loser of a man every time he comes to see his daughter.

After hearing what Scot had to say, Mr. Donald shook his head in pity for how badly his son had been treated based on his financial status. 

"But, do you still love her?" Mr. Donald inquired. 

Scot couldn’t answer right away but he knew deep down that despite everything that had transpired, he still had feelings for Jane, but he kept that truth to himself.

"No, daddy, I hate Jane, and I'll never forgive her," Scot answered, his face red with rage.

Mr. Donald looked at him and sighed then concentrated on driving

They arrived at the company in no time and his dad parked in the garage made for the most executive staffs in the company.

"Ahaa... Scot, welcome to one of my companies," Mr. Donald exclaimed, but Scot was less than thrilled because that's the company Jason oversees. 

Scot didn’t want to act odd so he managed a smile on his lips so his dad can see how excited he was to get inside but all he could think about was how to repay everyone in the in the company that mistreated him. 

The corporation is very vast, with many facilities, including a supermarket. 

Even before they entered the executive garage, every employee that saw the car bowed to it and waved in greeting.

The two men came out of the car then Mr. Donald turned to Scot.

"Go on, son, I want to get something from the supermarket," Mr. Donald said to him and he left.

Scot went to the entrance of the building then looked up at the name written boldly on the building ‘Frankstien Enterprise’. He let out a sigh, squared his shoulder, his head was held high as he enters into the building with a proud look on his face.

Scot ignored everyone he went past and their comments about him. Some were of surprise, some were of mockery probably in thought that he came back for his job. He didn’t mind them and when he looked around the reception area, he spotted a sight that brought his blood to a boil.

Jane and Jason were all cozy with each other and not being able to take the sight, he walked up to them but was stopped by some security men.

“Jason,” he growled in anger.

"What do you want you fool? You aren’t getting your job back, I got someone competent enough to replace you” Jason taunts while Jane and a few employees that heard his comment, laughed at Scot.

"Jason, I will fire you from this company," Scot yelled not able to contain his anger.

Jason and everyone else laughed at Scot's statement. They all thought he was a crazy clown. Jason immediately directed the security guards to beat and kick Scot out of the workplace. 

The security guards wrestled Scot to the ground, but Scot fought back while Jason and everyone else made fun of him.

"Throw him out!" Jane yelled.

Scot protested again as the security guards bundled him.

"I will sack all of you soon," Scot yelled angrily at the security guards but his words were not taken seriously because they all saw him as hopeless and demented. 

"How can you sack us when you are jobless?" one of the security guards inquired mockingly and that brought almost all the staffs to a laughing fits as they mocked Scot even more.
