Getting A System In A Modern World

77  Father(II), Confrontation

Chris has never been so angry in his life. He looked at his son with blazing anger in his eyes.

At the moment, he wanted nothing more than to beat this stupid and arrogant son of his, until he's back on his knees, begging him just like he used to, but there was something holding him back.

The Silas in front of him was completely different from the previous one.

The Silas of before wouldn't even dare to look him in the eyes and to talk back at him would be something of a suicidal attempt, but the one in front of him gives him a very dangerous feeling.

Putting aside the feeling that Silas is giving him, Chris noticed that his son has changed completely, appearance-wise.

Unlike the previous Silas' appearance's  that was extremely ugly and almost repulsive to look at, the current Silas' appearance is something that can be called every girls wet dream.

Plus, the clothes on Silas' body screams high quality and luxury. Not just about Silas, but he has also noticed that a lot of things had changed in the house lately.

Even though he comes home extremely late, extremely drunk and wasted, he has noticed some slighy difference in Alex and Kim's behavior, and the atmosphere in the house.

Actually, if he wasn't told by Kim that the person at the door is Silas, he would have called Silas a stranger.

Chris felt and saw his changes in Silas, still, he didn't back down. He felt that as Silas' father, he has the right to discipline his son when he does something wrong.

"What did you just say?!," Chris asked as he walked towards Silas, threateningly.

No matter how much changes Silas has gone through, no matter how much he has grown, he's still his son and he would still be, until he decides that he's not.

Silas saw his father walking towards him and smiled. Though he doesn't have a mind reading superpower, he knew what was actually going through his father's mind.

Silas gave a smile which didn't lookike a smile and asked, "I said, and what if I don't?"

"What are you going to do about it? Hit me? Sorry to disappoint, but you will have to try another intimidation tactic," Silas said, with his voice slightly rising due to anger that was growing in his heart.

"I'm curious though. Anytime you get back and you're in a very foul mood, you always hit me and insult me to no end. I want to ask, why? Was it because I was weak or you just hated me like you always said?

You called me a jinx. You said I'm the reason why things went to shit for you. I want to ask now, how did I cause your present situation?," Silas asked as he looked at his father back in the eyes without backing down.

Silas felt that it was actually time things changed. For so many years, he has been his father's punching bag and his father's means of venting out his frustrations.

For too long he took the insults, the abuse that his father melted out in him because he didn't have the strength to speak but things changed.

Chris, just like Silas, he also wasn't willing to back down. He wouldn't, his ego won't let him.

"Silas! I'm your father and when I'm talking to you, you lower your head in respect!," Chris barked at Silas' face.

His anger at his point has reached a boiling point and he was about to blow his top.

Hearing his words, Silas gave a laugh but one could feel the chilling anger hidden in it.

Now that he thought about it, why had he always blamed the innocent Silas for everything that happened to him?

How did he become what he hated so much? Where did he start losing it?

"My father? That's funny coming from you. Let me ask, do you remember my birthday? I'm asking if you have ever celebrated it, but if you actually know what day it is and that of Alex?

Is your idea of being a father, hitting and insulting me every night without break? Have you ever had a conversation with Alex? Do you know his favorite color, or his favourite cartoon or action figures? Have you ever bothered about his education or even cared to ask about his well-being?

Let me tell you something, Father isn't a title that is given, it is earned. Same with respect.

If you think because you caused my birth, then I'm sorry to tell you, you're nothing more than a sperm donor."

"Silas?! Stop it!," A shocked and broken Kim shouted. The scene in front of her was very heartbreaking.

Silas' voice was calm but his words weren't so. The fact he could call his father a sperm donor showed how furious he was.

Kim was at a loss for words. She didn't want the two of them fight like this but what can she do? She didn't know how much anger Silas had towards his father, but hearing what he said made her understand that he was beyond furious at his father.

She knew that he wasn't wrong for feeling angry. She knew that she would have felt the same if she were im his situation, but she didn't want this for any of them.

She really wished that they can live together as one happy family but her wish will have to take a while before it will be granted.

It has been a very long time since Chris actually heard such hurtful words and the last time he heard it, was from Lucas Anderson, the bastard that ruined his life.

Now that he thought about it, why had he always blamed the innocent Silas for everything that happened to him?

How did he become what he hated so much? Where did he start losing it?

He looked at Silas' face and saw it, overlapping with that of his first wife.

Seeing this, he lowered his head and smiled stiffly. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Natasha, Jasmine, Kim, I failed as a husband and a father,' He thought to himself.

'I really failed at both and I became my worst enemy.'

Chris took one last look at Silas and walked out of the house, into the cold of the night.
