6 Leonie Odom
Lester stayed in the car as he watched the three ladies walk away his eyes were especially glued to the one in the cherry colored coat. The girl had said so many hurtful words to him just because he refused to apologize and he was not used to not getting his way. he dialed a number as he cursed under his breath.
"Hello," the voice on the other end of the phone was breathless as he picked up the call. 'Why is the devil calling me, it is not like I did anything wrong' thinking about this he glanced at the two beauties sprawled on his bed. 'Well, he can't be calling me about this' "Boss, are you still there?" he asked when he did not get a reply from him.
"Disgusting, put on your clothes and find someone for me" *beep beep* the call came to an end without waiting for the other party's reply Lester hung up. "Wait, wait, wait, who am I supposed to find at least give me a clue maybe the name before you hang up, you devil" he shouted while looking at his phone in anger. the two beauties on the bed with him jerked. "Get out!" in his anger he shouted at the two beauties who immediately stood up in fear and rushed out of the room without even bothering to put on their clothes.
Back in his car, Lester parked by the side of the road and took out a cigarette, lighting it up he made a beautiful smoke ring as he took a puff of it. The words the girl said about him not being raised right kept resounding in his head, time and time again. He only stopped smoking when the silence was broken by the sound of his ringtone. He picked up without even looking at the caller name, he waited for the person on the other end of the phone to start speaking and continued taking puffs after puffs of his cigarette.
"Son, where are you? You are supposed to be here by now or is something keeping you busy" when the person on the other end of the line did not hear a response she sighed "My dear, is something the matter. I called your secretary moments ago and he told me you left the office before 7, so where exactly are you? I am worried"
Lester sneered "Miss Leonie Odom, why thanks for your concern" he checked the time on his Rolex, a quarter to 8. "I don't think I can make it in time for dinner" he continued. Leonie excused herself from the guests and went outside to give him a befitting reply "Yeah, no kidding" she replied sarcastically. "You had better get here before I lose my temper, I expected this from your brothers, not from you. If you make your father and I lose face, I'm not sure what I will do to you" Leonie said in a rushed tone
Lester scoffed "Well, well since you have the power to do anything to me, how about you give it a try instead of threatening me. What sort of person are you 'Mother'?" he exaggerated the word mother to get on her toes and it worked because Leonie flinched.
Leonie had always hated the word 'mother'. Although, she already had 4 beautiful kids for Donaldson Alexander. She still heard a grudge with her family for forcing her to marry a man she did not love and as such she made sure her three sons and her daughter never called her the word mother.
Leonie, later on, allowed her daughter which was the youngest among the four to call her mother when she noticed that Little Lia wanted to go into the entertainment industry. She showered Lia with all her support and love. If one asked her who her favorite child was, well the person was not far from the truth was Lia was mentioned.
The three boys grew up under the care of nannies, they each were assigned to different nannies according to their personality which was sickening to Donaldson, his family and all of the Odom clan.
Lester had always been the brightest among his brothers and his high IQ resulted in him having the best of everything, except a mother's love of course. His brothers always ganged up against him and found ways to humiliate and hurt him whenever they had the chance.
When Leonie noticed this reaction from her children at least any normal mother would stop it but her silence encouraged the brothers' actions. Lester slowly became a shell of himself emanating cold to everyone. This went on till Lia was born and although his mother tried to stop her from getting close to Lester. She would secretly sneak him, her toys, her foods, and snacks.
If there was one person in the household that could make Lester hurt that would be Lia. Donaldson found out about all these and kept their friendship from their mother. Aside from that he never did anything to help out this pitiful son of his because whenever he tried Leonie would always threaten him with a divorce. It is rather not known whether or not he was in love with Leonie but maybe because he blames himself for clipping her wings, he always gave in to all her rants and desires.
This put a strain on his relationship with all his sons. The little happiness he got was from the bubbly personality called his daughter.
Thinking of all these including the words the girl said earlier, he believed that was the case. He was not raised right, how many children could not call their mothers 'mommy'? How. many children receive only hate instead of love from their families?
A lot of people said he was reckless and heartless but not a lot of people knew how he was raised. Emotions and feelings were not his forte, he also stopped caring about his mother's threats long ago.
Although, when she calls him, maybe because he is holding onto that last strand of hope that he can have a lovely little family, he always goes back to the house.
They both refused to speak another word to each other before the silence was broken by Donaldson who had just stepped out to check on his wife. "Is he coming or not?" he asked his wife only to receive a scoff on her path. Once she turned to leave, she threw her phone at him leaving the words "Be sure to get him to come home" after a while she added, "Tonight, in the next 10 minutes".
Donaldson sighed, Lester had heard all the ruckus on the other end of the phone and waited patiently for his father to speak. "Son, how are you?" he continued when he heard no reply from him "I heard there was a heated discussion today about....." "Since you already know dad, then why ask about it?" Lester cut in "Just get to the point, you only want me home, don't you? It is not like you ever really cared for me for the past 24 years"
Donaldson felt his heart ache because of his son's word. He was right, he has never been there for him, in the least, his two older brothers still had each other but who does he have, only a remembrance of his lack of motherly love Lia. Who was either clueless or could not bother picking up cues. Rubbing his nose in her happiness from having a mother, who cares for her.
The reason he also believed that money could solve anything was because of his estranged mother. Donaldson sighed before continuing "Son, please just come home, at least that way everyone is happy "Yes, dad, everyone except me. But, you don't have to worry I will be there" Lester replied sadness apparent in his voice.
'I am so sorry I could not protect you son' Donaldson said after he had heard the calls drop tone. He stared blankly at the sky crying silently for a minute before he turned back to his guests.
Lester started his car again and drove off to his parents' place. Even after getting in his car, he still felt sad and a great uneasiness settled deep in his heart. Actually, he misses the blunt girl who had insulted him earlier, although her words were hurtful in the least she spoke her mind which was more than what others say to him.
He felt her sincerity and he liked her better than his secretary whom he is pretty sure if given the chance would have beaten him up. Hopefully, he can see her again. Without his knowing Annabelle had already been etched deeply into his heart. He closed his eyes for a brief second, after which any form of emotions in his eyes was cleared away.
The Alexander estate was located in the middle of the city and it did not take him long to arrive at the gate of the estate. Picking up a remote, he clicked on a button and the beautifully crafted gate opened automatically. The security guards on duty saw him and respectfully bowed to welcome him. He drove for almost 5 minutes before slowly stopping in front of a stoned wall Manor.
"Youngest master is back" he heard that unforgettable voice and memories flowed within him. How could he have forgotten her 'Estrella' his nanny? Looking at her, he stared blankly for a while before looking away when he heard his pretend 'Mother' call to him.
"My dear son, you are back...." she was rambling on affectionately putting on her signature motherly love expression. He did not have to think long when he heard a refined girl's voice "Hi, brother Lester" she said coquettishly. Joanne Tucker had rushed out of the house immediately she heard he was back. Her male god was standing before her in flesh and blood, who wouldn't be happy. She felt so lucky.
