Chapter 16 - Hell’s Dominion (5)

Hell's Dominion (5)

[Ring ring ring]

[The sound of a phone ringing echos throughout a spacious room]

[In that room stands Micheal as he begins to look at the ringing phone. After realizing that Kaiser was the one calling him, he answers the phone]

[Micheal]: ...Kaiser why are you calling me at this hour.

[Kaiser apologies to Micheal but tells him that it's urgent business and that he needs to talk to him tomorrow at Micheal's place. Which Micheal eventually agrees to after some back and forth banter]

[Micheal] (Thinking): I hate cliff hangers, but thinking about it, this route is most likely the best route to take. I wonder if it has something to do with King Arthur?

[As Micheal was in the middle of talking to himself. He was abruptly interrupted by his one of his maids]

[Stella]: Sir, it's me Stella. Your father wishes for you to come and eat dinner with him, and your sister.

[Silence befalls the room as Micheal is in disbelief that such a request was made of him by his father]

[Micheal]: Huh?!-There's no way, father invited me to come to dinner? Of his own free will? I guess hell has frozen over huh Stella.

[Stella girts her teeth and closes her eyes for a moment as she began to continue the conversation]

[Stella]: Sir, I understand that you and your father aren't exactly on the best speaking terms right now, but please I implore you to at least attempt to go speak to him.

....

[Micheal]: Fine, I will go to the dinner hall. Tell him that I should be down shortly.

[Stella]: Thank you sir.

[As Micheal gets ready to head downstairs, he wonders what could come of this interaction between him and his father]

POV Shift-Dinning Hall

[As Micheals enters the dining hall he recounts on old memories of his family eating in the dining hall, and how such a time was long ago and how things have changed so much since then]

[As Micheal walks in, he's greeted by his little sister]

[Asher]: Hi Mikey. I'm glad you came to join us.

[Micheal]: Hi Ash. I wouldn't miss eating with you for the world

[Micheal looks at his sister as she radiates a bright sense of tranquility to his family which brings him to softly smile at his sister, who smiles back but Micheal smile began to fade as he greeted his father]

[Micheal]: Hello father....

[Ashton]: Hello Micheal...

[Micheal stares at his father for a few seconds while thinking that his father is as welcoming as ever before sitting down next to his sister. Which he then proceeds to eat and chat with his sister while time passes, and after an hour of silence from his father Micheal decided to break the thick ice]

[Micheal]: Wow...you know this is new coming from you, not talking that is. You usually have an abundance of words to say, especially when I'm around, so what's the special reasoning for your silence.

[Ashton then gives Micheal a look of unbudging-ness as he begins to speak]

[Ashton]: I was allowing you to speak to your sister, but since you're in such a rush I suppose that business shall not be delayed any further.

[Ashton]: Micheal, since it has come to light that the class you possess it of the "Ultra Rare" rarity I've decided to take you to your brother's estate and train you to become the next heir of the family.

[Micheal gives his father a blank stare as he replays what his father just said in his mind repeatedly until he eventually stopped and gave him is answer]

[Micheal]: Yea...no not happening. Preferably I'd rather not go to train to become the next heir of this family.

[Ashton]: Well, you don't really have a choice in the matter as you are the last male of this current family line, and as so you must be the one to carry on the name of this family as it's heir.

[Micheal]: And I suppose that I'll say it one more time. I will not become the heir to this terrible bloodline!

[After Micheal said that his father could not hold back his temper any longer]

[Ashton]: HOW DARE YOU SLANDER THE NAME OF THIS GREAT FAMILY!!

[Micheal] (Smiling): Ahh there he is, there's the father I know. Funny how you lost your temper before a 16-year-old boy, and as funny as it may be I strongly suggest you keep your voice down. You're scaring Asher.

[Ashton began to grow angrier and angrier by the moment as his patience was being tested by his youngest son. Completely disregarding Ashers presence all together]

[Ashton]: Listen, you WILL be going to your brother's estate. There is NO option in the matter. You WILL become the heir to this family whether you like it or not. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!

[Micheal's face began to frown as he tried to keep his composer in front of his sister, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't help but make a face that screamed 'disgusted"]

[Micheal]: Loud and clear. I just lost my appetite, so I'll be taking my leave early, so do excuse me. Come on Asher i believe it's time to put you to bed.

[Asher]: Okay Mickey

[As Micheal left with Asher he was left in a bad mental state. With his father pushing his plans on Micheal leaving him with little to no choice. He began to feel trapped day by day which is shown in his aggressive tendencies which his maid Stella was aware of]

POV Shift- Micheal's Room

[Micheal]: GRRRRR, WHY DOES CONTINUE TO PUSH HIS DECISIONS ON ME LIKE THIS.

[As Micheal paced around his room in anger, he continuously thought about why his father acts the way he does, and why must he be subjected to his iron fist. These thoughts continued until Micheal grew sleepy]

[Michea]: Why must...father be..this..way.

[Micheal] (Thinking): I miss the way father used to be.

....

[As Micheal began to fall asleep a lurking figure in his mind decided to make and appearance]

(???) (Grinning): Looks like it's time to make myself known huh.
