Chapter 692
“Gavin, even if you are my father, you can’t make me do this! I told you, I don’t like
Ms. Yalton. I like men. I’m not getting married, and that’s final p>
“Oh, what, do you want the whole world to know your son likes men p>
Archie clutched his phone, thumb poised to send out a message to every major
news outlet, just daring his father to stop him.
Gavin’s face went beet red, practically vibrating with rage.
“Archie! What the hell do you think you’re doing p>
He lunged forward, snatching Archie’s phone and smashing it hard against the
hardwood floor. It shattered instantly, pieces flying everywhere.
Willow rushed over, wringing her hands. “Honey, please, calm down! Don’t do
this p>
Chester just stood there, smirking like he’d just won the lottery.
“Bro, honestly, you think you can defy Dad? He’s our father. Whatever he says
goes. Just do what he wants. It’s not gonna kill you p>
“So what if you have to get married? Guys get married all the time. Doesn’t mean
you can’t have a little fun on the side. I mean, you could be with guys if that’s your
thing. Who cares p>
Gavin looked over at Chester, a glint of approval in his eyes.
“See? Your brother gets it. He’s got brains, unlike you p>
Gavin sneered, “Why can’t you be more like your brother, Archie? I don’t care
whether you like it or not. Until you do what I say, you’re not setting foot outside
this house. It’s Christmas, for crying out loud. Stay home like a decent person p>
Archie stared at the ruined mess that used to be his phone, his face pale with fury.
“Gavin, this is too much! I told you, I’m not getting married p>
Gavin just laughed coldly. “It’s not your decision to make p>
He grabbed Archie by the arm and shoved him into his bedroom, slamming the
door and locking it tight.
Archie rattled the doorknob, pounding on the door. “Let me out! Gavin, this isn’t a
joke. I have plans. I have to go out p>
“Go out?” Gavin scoffed from the
other side. “Forget it. And don’t even
think about meeting up with your
little friends I’m not letting you see
any of them p>
“You bastard!” Archie yelled, pounding the door again and again.
But soon, silence fell outside the room. Gavin had clearly lost interest in arguing.
Archie gritted his teeth, furious. With
his phone demolished, he had no
way to reach Callie or any of his
friends. If he didn’t show up for their
post holiday dinner, Callie would be
worried sick.
He needed a plan.
Scanning the room, his gaze landed on the window. Just as he moved to try
escaping, Gavin appeared outside with two burly men.
“Trying to sneak out the window? Did you really think I wouldn’t see that coming p>
Gavin ordered his men to seal the window shut, leaving Archie no chance of
slipping away.
Archie cursed Gavin every way he knew how.
Gavin just glared back, his voice icy.
“Archie, you’re my son. I can do
whatever I want with you. If you
won’t listen, this is what you get. I’d
love to see you try and get out of
here now p>
