100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Seventy-Five…

Ethan and Jane gave privacy to both Nathan and Old Man Xu so that they could talk about Vincent. Old Man Xu owed his son an explanation. After having their breakfast, the father and son duo proceeded to the garden.

The garden held a special place in Old Man Xu's heart because his late wife, Nathan's mother, was the one who built this garden. 

"Nate… my son," Old Man Xu called him out. "Are you mad at me? Do you hate me?" He asked him with a sullen look on his aged face. Nathan could see the guilt in his father's eyes.

"I hated you once…" Nathan answered him truthfully. He hated his father when he discovered that Old Man Xu tried to eliminate Monica for his sake. "But I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have doubted your words. So now… before judging you, I will listen to your explanation. I'll give you a chance to justify yourself. How did I end up having a brother?"

Old man Xu heaved a deep sigh. "I think it started when I went to Country R to do business with other organizations. I attended a party to socialize with everyone. Your mother wasn't able to come with me. At that party, I met Vincent's mother. She was assigned by her father to accompany me and entertain me during the entire duration of the party."

Nathan just kept quiet, listening to his father. He was observing Old Man Xu's expression. He somehow felt that his father was not hiding anything from him.

"Believe me or not, I didn't have any intention to flirt with other women. I was faithful to your mother. However, I didn't expect Vincent's mother to fall in love with me. It turned out… she already saw me before."

"That night… I was drugged… and I didn't remember anything. I just woke up on a bed, naked… while Vincent's mother was hugging me. I was furious at that moment. I left without saying a word. That was the last time I set foot in Country R."

"But before I left, I talked to her father. I fought with him. I even threatened her father not to show up in my face again, together with his daughter. Or else, I'll kill them. I was mad and couldn't accept it. I felt guilty for your mother. It wasn't my intention to sleep with other women. That was just a mistake. I tried my best to hide it from her and forget about Vincent's mother."

"For me… she was just an insignificant person I needed to forget… But six years later… she came to me… asking me to acknowledge Vincent as my son." Old Man Xu continued telling Nathan the story.

"But my heart was like a stone at that time. I was still angry at her. But she begged me several times. She even kneeled in front of me, sobbing and crying. Vincent was watching us. But I didn't give them a chance. I thought the two of them would destroy our family. I pushed them. I sent them away. I forbade them from coming near you or my wife."

"After that day, I didn't know what happened to them. They didn't come back. I felt relieved. I didn't want your mother to find out my mistake. I was afraid she would hate me. Do you blame me for this?"

Nathan narrowed his eyes upon hearing his father's story. "You were a coward. You should have done better, rather than running away and avoiding to take responsibility for your mistake. My mother would have understood you if you just told her the truth."

"My brother shouldn't have hated both of us… to the extent that he wants to destroy us." Nathan reprimanded his father.

"You shouldn't have hated him as well. He was innocent. It was his mother's fault for taking advantage of you. But the child was not someone to blame," Nathan added. He could sympathize with Vincent. He understood why that guy hated his family so much.

"Don't worry, Nate. I will try my best to fix this. I'll talk to your brother and ask for his forgiveness." Old Man Xu reassured him. He wanted to fix their relationship and solve the conflict between them.

"I don't know. I am afraid that it's too late. He had done something I would never forgive." Nathan mumbled through his gritted teeth. 

He folded his fingers into tight fists as he recalled how Jane suffered from Vincent's scheme. He could accept if Vincent would try to hurt him. But Jane didn't deserve it. He wouldn't forgive Vincent for what he had done to Jane. 

"You can fix your relationship and ask for forgiveness from him. However, I have a different plan. I'll punish him for hurting the people who are precious to me. Don't stop me, Dad." Nathan warned his father.

Old Man Xu could feel the chilly aura surrounding Nathan. He could see that his son was serious with his words.

"What did he do?" Old Man Xu asked him curiously.

"I can't tell you everything. But you have to know that Vincent is the leader of the King Stallion Mafia. And he is declaring war against us, the Syphiruz. I will never back down." There was conviction in his every word.

Meanwhile, Old Man Xu was surprised when he heard that. 'Vincent is also a leader of a mafia organization.'

"Nate… I'm still your father. If you need my help. I'm just here." Old Man Xu expressed his support.

"No. You should be neutral, After all… both of us are your children. You don't have to get involved with our fight. This is my own fight." 

Old Man Xu had a nagging feeling about this. 'Can I bear to see my sons fighting?'

"Nate, do you still have feelings for Monica? Are you doing this because of her? I just learned the truth. Monica is alive… and she is living as Helena Carlsen."

Nathan put on a mocking smile at the mention of Monica's name. "Yes, I still do have… a feeling of disgust and hatred… Just like Vincent, she has to pay for everything. I have never loved her."

"But she is Ethan's mother. Are you sure you can punish her?" Old Man Xu thought that Nathan would go easy on Monica because of Ethan.

When confronted by that question, Nathan was rendered speechless. 

"Sigh." Old Man Xu moved closer to Nathan and held his shoulders. "Son, do you think… there is a possibility that Monica is not Ethan's biological mother? Think hard. Do you remember sleeping with her? How many times did you have sex with her?"

"If she was Vincent's woman even before you met her… I don't think he would allow her to have sex with you. What if… they used someone as her stand-in?" Old Man Xu raised his speculation regarding the situation.

Nathan was at a loss for words once again. His father had a point. As far as he could remember, his first night with Monica was very vague. He couldn't remember clearly.

"You are right, Old Man. I think I was also drugged when I slept with her."
