I want to show my value

Alexia

It was late afternoon when I left Patricia, my half-sister and best friend, at the mansion where she lived with Alessandra, her mother. We spent the whole day at the mall today, there was the launch of a new designer shoe, we couldn't miss it. One more shoe for my collection, too bad the bags I wanted so much were sold out. A whole day at the mall took the stress out of everyday life, just with good shopping and a night at the club calmed me down. In addition to shoes, I bought evening dresses for parties, everyday clothes and work clothes.

As much as my dad refused to put me to work with him, thinking I didn't know how to do anything in life, I wanted to show that I was smarter than he thought. I could live off his money, but I wanted to prove that I could run that company better than he could. In fact, I had a promise to keep and I wouldn't give up easily.

I went into my father's mansion's garage and before getting out of the car, I opened my picture frame pendant, containing my image and that of Hector from eight years ago. I caressed his picture and gave him a kiss, as if it gave me the strength to do what I had to do.

I got out of the car, ordering the employees to take my groceries to my room and put them away. I went into the house and went to the kitchen for a glass of water, thinking about Conrado's marriage proposal, I didn't answer, I promised I would think about it. In fact, I just wanted to buy time to find an excuse, to break up with him. Conrado was unreliable, I had a plan in mind, a goal to accomplish. For my plan to work, I needed to be able to convince my father to let me work with him, to gain my independence and live alone. And a relationship was not in my plans, especially a relationship with Conrado. Besides, it had been a while since I felt anything for him, nor did I feel any more pleasure when we had sex, it was all mechanical, I no longer had the touch, I no longer had the lust.

Man to me, he had to be trustworthy, he had to bring me security and make me vibrate driving me crazy in bed. I couldn't put anyone into my life, least of all with the plan I had in mind. The only times I had an orgasm was with my Toy, a dolphin-shaped vibrator, which I dubbed Romao. He wasn't jealous, he didn't ask for explanations, he wouldn't have to call another day, he just had to wait for me to look for him to satisfy me. He yes, was my best companion.

I finished my glass of water and went back to the living room, this house was huge when Patricia didn't sleep here, I missed her.

"Did you bring your mother any presents this time?"

Dona Paula, just because she was my mother, thought I owed her something. Forty years old, brown eyes, blond, straight permed hair. Once, she almost went bald from spraying her hair with chemicals. I was lucky to have taken after my father, I didn't need so much chemistry. She lived on my father's money and always wanted more.

"I had such a fun day with Patricia and I didn't even think about you..."

"You should be more considerate of the one who brought you into the world."

"Consideration? For you? Where were you while I was raised by nannies?"

"I was very young when I had you, I needed help."

"Until you are eighteen?"

"What are you complaining about? You studied at the best schools, went to college in London, speak six languages, have everything you want in your hands and one day you will take over the company in your father's place, you must thank me for what I did for you." I gave a sarcastic laugh.

“What have you done for me, tell me? As far as I know, you didn't even breastfeed me."

"If it weren't for me, whoever would take over the company would be your idiot sister."

"Don't talk about Patricia like that, she's much more my family than you and my father put together. And if I'm ever going to take over the company, it's because I was born first, that's all."

"You were only born first because I induced the birth."

"What?" I asked, surprised to hear this, I didn't expect this.

"Patricia's mother went into labor at dawn, but she only gave birth to Patricia in the late afternoon. I found out she was in the hospital, so I went there with the intention of receiving you first, because only the firstborn could take over the company ." I heard it all amazed, not believing her words. "The doctors didn't want to do my delivery, as it was still a week before the expected date of birth. So I went to the ward and took some pills that made me have you earlier."

I was amazed, what kind of woman risks her daughter's life out of ambition? I had my plans and wanted to show my father my value to the company. But I would never do something like that just to have money, or power, or do something that could harm someone or a child. This woman was very cold.

"You're crazy, you just might."

I knew my mom had stolen Alessandra's boyfriend, but this?! It was too much for me.

"No, I'm not crazy, but I don't regret anything I did to get where I am."

"Have you thought about me? That your attitude could harm me?"

"Don't overdo it! There you are, beautiful, strong and capable of running that company better than your father." I continued to look at her indignantly.

Before I had time to respond, my father walked into the house with his secretary and his mistress. I once caught them having sex at my dad's desk in the company office.

"I have work to do, let's stay at the office, don't bother us at all." My mom frowned immediately.

"I can't believe it, Roberto, you brought this bitch to fuck under our roof, with the excuse that it's work."

It had been a while since I got involved in my parents' fights. He didn't hide his betrayals and neither did my mother. They simply didn't break up because they weren't officially married and my mom refused to leave the mansion.

"Don't be a pain in the ass, remember you live here as a favor. The only responsibility I have is to our daughter." What responsibility?

He never bothered to really take care of me, he always thought his money would buy everything. He was only concerned with taking care of my nannies, imagine the trauma I carried with my father having sex with my nannies in my bed.

Ask me why he only had Patricia and me, with daughters?!

A year after our birth he contracted mumps from one of his mistresses and the mumps went down into the sack leaving him stereo, he almost lost his balls but luckily he is cured and now he ate all the women who wanted to spread their legs for him.

I didn't blame women, my father was a handsome and attractive man. Forty-two years old, straight brown hair, blue eyes, body defined by the gym. He liked to take care of himself to attract the attention of women, especially to close businesses and open new ones, if you know what I mean.

"Sara and I need to plan a strategy to find out who is behind the company's embezzlement and prevent Francisco from breaking the partnership. There are thousands of employees who will be fired if we don't act."

He had no idea the company was in trouble.

"Dad, if you want I can help you."

“I think Alexia's help would be very helpful,” Sara said, touching my dad's shoulder, making my mom angrier.

"I don't have time to teach."

"You don't need to teach me anything, Sara has been keeping me informed about some things that happen at the company." My dad looked at Sara in surprise and she swallowed hard.

"Who gave you permission to leak information?"

I had threatened Sara to inform me about my father's transactions after I caught them making “transactions” in his office, but she didn't inform me of the problem the company was facing. I think I'm going to have to talk to her for a while and remind her that her reputation was at stake.

“Father, I am your daughter, not an enemy. I think it's past time I put myself to work with you."

He gave a very loud, exaggerated laugh.

"What do you know how to do but buy and spend my money?"

"Why did I go to college then if it's not to work with you?"

"For the relief of conscience."

"I might as well help you with the company."

“I don't need your help. Come on Sara, we have a lot to do."

"My mother is right, I don't think you should have any problems at the company, you only brought her here to humiliate her mother, screwing her secretary. And the only excuse for not letting me work with you is because you don't want to stop eat your secretaries."

My father had already taken a few steps towards the office, when he heard me challenge him, he turned to me, came towards me and slapped me in the face. I looked at him with hate in my eyes.

"You don't know what you're talking about, I'll have to travel tomorrow, Sara is here to help me with some unfinished business, Robson will be coming soon to help us and Antony will take over the company until I get back. Now don't give me your frills because I don't have the patience to put up with them. The only thing you and your mother do for me is to land in the media, to show me as a responsible man, father of a family and nothing else." he spoke coldly, which hurt me a lot.

"You also have another daughter, you know?" I said through tears.

How does he want to show himself to be a responsible man, having two families?

"Which doesn't help me either, if one of you were male, then yes, it would be of some use."

"I'm still going to prove you wrong, I might be better than you think," he chuckled mocking my face.

"OK, I believe!"

He pulled away from me, pulling his secretary and lover into the office. It didn't take long, there were moans.

"You are not going to do anything?" my mother said indignantly.

"He doesn't lose in the wait, I'll show my value to the company."

"I'm talking about now, aren't you going to do anything now? He's over there, screwing that bitch."

"What do you want me to do? It's you who should do something, maybe they want to do a threesome."

My interest wasn't in the bitches my father ate, my interest was in proving to him that I could run that company better than he could. I have my plans, I needed my independence, I had a promise to keep and I needed my father to accept me to work with him. So while he's away I'm going to take over the company in his place, when he comes back he'll see my potential and he'll have to put me to work with him. I didn't study five years in London, on a course I hated, to become the best in my class, to hear him tell me he was only good for shopping. He will have to accept me working with him, yes. Nor whoever is the last thing I do.

"Okay, if you're not going to do anything, I will."

My mom grabbed her purse and left the mansion, I might be curious to know what she's going to do, but I figured she would find one of her lovers, to pay my dad back. After all, the changed tube doesn't hurt.
