Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 134

Alexander’s P.O.V.

“I am her father and I can take her away if I want to,” Violet’s father, John Carter, yelled angrily while banging the table when I refused to let him meet Violet. “You gave up your parental rights to her nine years ago, Mr. Carter, and you now have no claim to her.” If anyone can ask me anything about her, it will be her guardian, not you,” I answered him in a calm tone but looked at him sternly. “I can report you for keeping my daughter in your house against my will,” he yelled again while threatening me, and I banged the table with my palm this time.

“Do it,’ I was about to yell when Sebastian replied to him in a calm tone. “What?” Mr. Carter looked at him in confusion. “My lawyer is already on the way right now. If you want to report it (Sebastian motioned with his hand), go ahead. We have her guardian’s permission to keep her here because she is ill. Also, Violet came to us of her own free will. No one has forced her. Go to the police, and you will be in trouble for harassing a minor in the absence of her guardian,” Sebastian threatened him in a very calm tone. I smirked when I saw Mr. Carter’s eyes widened in shock.

“I don’t know what you two have taken Violet as for. None of you care about her health or well-being. You two are selfish for your own reasons,” I chastised him. “You don’t know her. She is only acting. She was always like this,” he yelled again, and I lost my temper this time. I took her medical file out of the drawer and threw it in front of him. “She is lying, then what about these reports?” I asked him angrily while glaring at him. “Is he in a position to sit here with us and argue, huh?” Sebastian asked me in a pissed tone and I raised my brows at him.

He looked at both of us baffled. “You are here, sitting in front of us, and arguing with us because of Violet, Mr. Carter, or else you are in a position to even come close to us,” Sebastian said to him with a nasty smirk on his lips. Mr. Carter gulped hard while looking at us in fear this time. I picked up my phone and dialed Samantha’s number. I have no intention of talking with him more now. “Samantha, I am putting the call on speakerphone,” I told her when she picked up the call. “Okay, Mr. Parker,” she replied to me, and I put the phone on the speaker and put down the phone on the table.

“This is my last warning to you, John. She is still under my guardianship for a few days, and mark my words, John. I will make your life hell if you try to approach her again,” she threatened him in a stern voice. “You can’t do this. She is my biological daughter, and I can do anything with her, any time,” he replied to her while yelling aloud. I looked at Sebastian and he was about to explode at any time. “Ha… who is saying? I know that you were fired from your job and you have no savings right now. You want to start a business, but you need capital, and that’s why you came back, asking her to name the property to you. I will not let this happen, not on my watch. So, get the hell out of there and don’t bother those people. If they report you to the police, no one will come to bail you out,” she threatened him again in a stern tone in a loud voice.

The corner of my lips curled up and I scoffed. “Mr. Parker,” she called me after that, I picked up the phone from the table and put on the earpiece again. I put the phone on my ear while looking at him in disgust. “Just throw him out of the house. You don’t need to be polite with him just because he is Violet’s father. He is no one and I request that you make sure that he will not approach Violet at any cost,” she asked me in a bit calm tone, but I knew that she was pissed. “Okay… when will you be here?” I asked her in a calm tone. “I will be there this Sunday. Ethan’s birthday is on Monday, but I can’t stay,” she sighed, and I just took a deep breath. “We will wait for you,” I replied to him before hanging up.

“You heard her, right? You are still here because we don’t want to upset Violet. If you now excuse us, we have our works to take care of too,” I said to Mr. Carter, telling him to leave the place now. He looked at me angrily but kept his mouth close. It was good that he knew what was good for him. He slowly stood up from the chair after some time. We were inside my study because I didn’t want Violet to listen our conversation. I looked at Sebastian and he also had a cold look on his face right now. “I will come again with my lawyer,” he said through his teeth, and I just scoffed. “I will wait,” I replied to him coldly. He huffed and then stormed out of the study. I dialed guard’s office number.

“Escort the person out of the estate who is coming out of the mansion right now. Do not let him come inside again,” I instructed the security guard coldly. I hung up after that and took a deep breath. “I really admire his courage to mess with us,” Sebastian remarked on Mr. Parker coldly and I scoffed. “I am only waiting for her birthday. After that, I will make sure to keep her away from all these people. Her parents really suck,” I answered him and he nodded in agreement. He then looked at his watch and sighed. “I have to go now. Tell me if something comes up,” he said while standing up from his chair. I also stood up with him. I also had to go back to my office as I have some work to finish.

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“He will not appear in front of you again,” I comforted Violet while wrapping my hands around her waist from behind. She was standing near the large window of her room from where she was looking at her father’s back. She didn’t answer me, just kept looking at him. I drew her closer and placed a finger under her chin to bring her face to mine. She had tears in her eyes, but she didn’t let them drop down this time. “If you want to cry, just cry. You don’t have to hold them back. It doesn’t make you appear weak, but will help you to let go of your sorrow,” I said to her in a gentle voice, while cupping her face. She shook her head a little. “No… I… I don’t want to waste my tears on him anymore,” she answered me with a sniff. I nodded and then pulled her head to my chest by wrapping my hand around the back of her head. I tightened my grip around her waist to make her feel safe.

She wrapped her hands around my waist and rested her head on my chest. “You are growing up now,” I teased her and she tightened her grip on my waist. “What do you want for your birthday?” I asked her again in a light tone. “I don’t want anything,” she answered me and I frowned this time. “It’s your eighteenth birthday. This is special. Tell me what exactly you want. I have enough money to buy a gift for you. You can ask me anything,” I urged her to ask me something. I just wanted to distract her from all those depressive thoughts. “I really don’t need anything, Kyle. You have already gifted me something earlier,” she said, and I sighed.

She still wore that pendant and whenever I saw that, I felt happy. “I didn’t give you anything on your birthday. What do you want?” she asked me this time. I put my chin at the top of her head. “I have you and this is the biggest and most precious gift that you gave me. I don’t need anything too,” I replied to her. She slowly lifted her face up and looked at me. “I never gift anything to you,” she frowned and I smiled. I kissed her forehead and then looked back at her face again. “What are you guys doing?” I huffed internally when I heard Ethan’s voice. Why did he have to ruin our moments?

She slowly moved away from me, and I glared at Ethan. “Noah, Dustin, and Justin are coming here. They want a group study tonight,” he told me, and I frowned this time. “They will stay here tonight?” Violet asked him curiously, and he nodded. We were in her room right now. I was still staying in Ethan’s room but was sleeping with Violet for the past two nights. “Will you be okay alone tonight, princess?” he asked her with concern. “I am okay now,” she answered her, and I looked at her with a scowl this time. Why didn’t she ask me before answering him? “That’s great. They will be here frequently until we finish all our exams. We used to do group study,” he told her and she nodded again.

“Let’s go, Kyle,” Ethan asked me this time and I looked at him in confusion. “Where?” I asked him and he jerked his head backward in confusion. “I told you that they are coming,” he said in frustration. “I heard you. But where do we need to go?” I asked him in a confused tone. He huffed and then looked at Violet who was also looking at me in confusion. “We are going to study in my room, Kyle. So, we have to go back to my room. She needs rest and we can’t be here,” Ethan answered me in irritation. I looked at Violet who had pursed her lips into a thin line.

“I think I can also study with you guys for a while. I also need to pass the exams,” Violet said to him this time, and my eyes lit up. To be honest, I didn’t want to leave her alone or should I say that I didn’t want to go away from her. “Are you sure?” Ethan asked her worriedly. “Of course she can. It will be good for her if she stays with us instead of staying alone,” I answered him and wrapped my hand around her shoulder. “It’s great then,” Ethan chirped and looked at me. “Let’s go and make the arrangements,” he asked me and I nodded. “I will be back soon,” I whispered to Violet, and then both I and Ethan walked out of her room.

“Is she okay?” Ethan asked me as soon as I closed the door of her room. I took a deep breath and looked at him. “She is again trying to keep her sorrow inside her heart,” I told him truthfully what she tried to do earlier while walking with him toward the stairs. “I think it will be better if we don’t leave her alone. She will start thinking about everything that happened in the past few days and it will worsen her mental condition,” he suggested, and I nodded in agreement. “This will be good if she studies with us. It will keep her mind busy and she will not think about her parents and their greed,” I replied to him while walking upstairs.

“I have ordered pizza and burgers for our snacks, and mom said that she will prepare nachos for us. Our first exam is math and all I need right now is a serious study,” he told me and we entered his room. He took his phone out of his pocket, and I walked towards the study table. I was also lacking in my studies due to my shoot. I had no other shoot till my exams ended. I took my math book and notebook out of my bag and was about to move back when my phone started ringing in my pant pocket. I took out my phone and sighed when I saw my mother’s name on the caller ID.

Ethan looked at me questioningly. “It’s my mom,” I told him, and he nodded. I took a deep breath and picked up the call. “I heard that you are again staying with Parker’s?” she asked me immediately in an annoying tone. “Yes, I am,” I replied briefly. Ethan took my stuff from my hand and mouthed to me that he was going out. I nodded and listened to my mom again. “I don’t understand how more you want us to be embarrassed?” she yelled, and I rolled my eyes. “I don’t understand how my living conditions are a matter of your concern now. It’s not like you are concerned about me,” I asked her while taunting her in the end. “Kyle. You are talking to your mother,” she yelled at me again, and I balled up my fists tightly.

“I am talking with Natalie Knight, not with my mother. I never had a mother,” I replied to her, trying to keep myself calm. There was silence on her side for a few seconds. “You…what did you say?” she asked me in a low but angry tone. “You heard me, Mrs. Knight. You were never a mother to me, and still you are just a businesswoman who sees profit and loss in everything. Just tell me why did you call me? I have more important things to take care of instead of talking useless things with you,” I didn’t hesitate to talk with her rudely. She asked for this. She g*****d angrily and I scoffed this side.

“Okay… then let’s talk about business. I want you to come back and start taking care of business matters with us,” she said in a bit calm voice, suppressing her anger and I scoffed. I think you forgot, Mr. Knight that I don’t have any interest in business. I have made up my mind and know what I need to do with my life. Do whatever you want to do with your business. I am not in,” I replied to her in a stern tone and before she could say anything to me more, I hung up. “Damn it,” I cursed while clutching my phone. I was glad that my father was now with me and he could take care of my mother and her so-called business.

I immediately texted him and told him about what my mother told me. I took a deep breath after texting him and tried to calm myself down. I opened my eyes when I felt the vibration of my phone in my hand. I looked at the screen and raised a brow when I saw a message from my mother. I opened the message, and I felt that someone had put my body on fire. She threatened me with Violet’s name, telling me that she could ruin her life if I didn’t go back. I immediately called my father, as the next text that I received was from my father. I didn’t open that as I needed to talk to him.

“Dad… she threatened me with Violet,” I told him as soon as he picked up the call. “She can’t do a thing to Violet, son. Soon, Violet will be Violet Parker, in place of Violet Carter. Your mother is smart enough, and will not do any such thing that can be counted as messing with Alexander Parker. Why do you think that she is still threatening you but she is not doing anything to make you come back, huh? “This is because you have his support,” he comforted me, explaining why my mother was remaining silent rather than making a move on me. “Alex is going to announce Violet’s adoption on Ethan’s birthday. The paperwork is already ready. All Violet needs to do is sign the papers,” he told me, and I took a deep breath.

“Moreover… I will not let Natalie do anything to Violet. I promised Alexander that I would take care of her as my own daughter. So don’t worry about your mother and her hollow threats, and concentrate on your studies and Violet. That girl…. She needs you, son. I saw how much she trusts you. “Maintain her trust, and I will keep her safe from every danger,” he said calmly, and I felt better. “Okay, dad…. I trust you,” I replied to him. “I only need your trust in me, son, and thank you for trusting me. I have to go now. I was in the middle of a meeting when you called me,” he told me, and we both hung up the call. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. He asked me to trust him and I was willing to do this. We’ve grown close enough in the last month to completely trust each other. He also supported Violet when her parents approached. He was right. I should concentrate on my study, and on Violet instead of worrying about my mother.
