<i>"Did you hear me or you did not hear me?" Mr Wace questioned, making Xander realize he hadn’t answered his father yet.</i>


    <i>"I’m not going to break up with Arabe," Xander dered without batting an eysh.</i>


    <i>Xavier could only silently sigh tirelessly. </i>


    <i>They’d just returned home after thepetition was over. Although they lost in ser, the other students from their school performed well in other sports so they were able to bring the trophy back to the school.</i>


    <i>All he wanted to do was finish his dinner and hit the sack. Unfortunately for him, it seemed his father had something to say and from Xander’s tone, thetter was ready to take him on tonight.</i>


    <i>"Thomas, why do you want Xander to break up with his girlfriend?" Mrs Wace couldn’t help but ask.</i>


    <i>Although she was just learning that Xander got himself a girlfriend, she didn’t find anything wrong with that.</i>


    <i>"Because that girl came from the slums. I can’t have anyone who came from the pit hole to associate themselves with my sons," Mr Wace dered.</i>


    <i>This was probably the first time Mr. Wace acknowledged Xander as his son, however, it was for the wrong situation so Xander didn’t feel the least touched.</i>


    <i>"Such a girl would bring nothing but bad luck to this family." Then Mr Wace turned to face Xander one more time as he continued. "You’re going to break up with that girl and that’s final."</i>


    <i>"And I said I’m not going to break up with her. I never asked for your permission if I could date and believe it or not, you don’t have the right to tell me who I can and cannot date!"</i>


    <i>Xavier was beyond shocked by what was happening, but he was even more shocked by his father’s reasons Xander should break up with Arabe.</i>


    <i>Xavier had known about Xander and Arabe dating because Maxwell informed him about it, but now his father was asking Xander to break up with her for the most stupid reason he could ever think of.</i>


    <i>Mr Wace abruptly stood up from his chair when he heard Xander’s words, anger palpable in his expression. </i>


    <i>"You don’t have any right to defy my orders!" Mr Wace barked. "For all we know, that girl could only be hanging around you because of our family background."</i>


    <i>"Wow, Dad! Thanks for the concern, but you can keep it to yourself because I don’t need it," Xander replied with a sarcasmced in his tone. "But I’m not sorry for disappointing you one more time. Since you’re the one who has a problem with me dating Arabe, that’s none of my business. I’m not going to break up with her just because of your selfish reasons!" Xander dered. </i>


    <i>He might not know how his father found out about his rtionship with Arabe, but he certainly wasn’t going to listen to whatever his old man told him.</i>


    <i>The temperature surrounding the dining table became oddly tense.</i>


    <i>Mr Wace was immediately vexed at how Xander kept defying his orders.</i>


    <i>"Don’t you dare talk to me like that!!" Mr Wace warned. "You’ve been an unfilial son and now you want to embarrass this family?" </i>


    <i>Xander couldn’t help but stare at his father in confusion. </i>


    The old man had never really bothered much with whatever Xander was doing, and now, he wanted him to break up with his girlfriend when their rtionship was only a day old.


    <i>"If you don’t call that girl now and break up with her right now, you’re going to leave my house."</i>


    <i>"Thomas!!" Mrs Wace finally intervened. "What had gotten into you? You’re going to ask Xander to leave this mansion because of some girl?" She questioned.</i>


    <i>"Father, you’re taking things too far," Xavier added.</i>


    <i>"Am I taking things too far? This useless brother of yours is bent on disgracing me outside. There’re so many girls from influential backgrounds that go to that school and he had to go pick some nobody." </i>


    <i>Mr Wace was now spitting saliva as anger raged through his body.</i>


    <i>"Fine!" Xander suddenly said with a clenched fist. "Since you want me out of this house just because I love someone whom you don’t approve of, then I’ll leave this house."</i>


    <i>"That’s nonsense!! You’re not leaving this house." His mother tried to stop him.</i>


    <i>"He can leave for all I care. He’s useless anyway."</i>


    <i>Xavier and his mother did not like where the situation was heading since his father was talking like a drunk man.</i>


    <i>Usually, when Xander had done something wrong, their father would only leave him with a warning.</i>


    <i>However, this situation waspletely different.</i>


    <i>"Leave now. I want you to leave this house at this moment and don’t even think of taking anything with you." Mr Wace called the guards and asked them to kick Xander out.</i>


    <i>Xavier immediately tried to stop his dad but it seemed he’d made up his mind to kick his very own son out of the mansion.</i>
