Way Of Me
Part 3
Plaques
A slap landed perfectly on my cheek as Zoey and I met and expressed our wishes to Zoey's biological father, Mr. Rick Taylor.
" Daddy, no... ! " zoey shouted and ran towards me who could only quietly accept her father's treatment.
" Joey... ! Go from his side "snaps Mr. Rick to Zoey.
" No Dad ! I love her ", Zoey said firmly.
" You don't love him. You're just making it a runaway because you don't take Jack's behavior behind your back " said Mr. Rick with emotion.
" No, Dad ! I never loved Jack. What I've been doing all this time, because I respect Daddy and all this time I just pretended to love him until I got proof of his bad behavior. I just love Dave " said Zoey trying to give her father an excuse.
" You must be crazy, Zoey ! What do you expect from a poor man like him ! " sarcass Mr. Rick.
" I am poor ! But I love your daughter so much "my mouth.
Zoey put on a smile and held my hand tightly.
" Then how will you support my daughter ? You think your love can meet her needs, huh ? Even you yourself can't live your own life "says Mr. Rick.
" I know that ! But I will try to meet his needs "I said.
Mr. Rick grinned,
" You think I'll believe that ? How much do you want to leave my daughter ? " ask Mr. Rick and take something from his desk.
He ripped it off and threw it in my face.
" You wrote yourself the nominal you want to stay away from my daughter. I know a poor man like you would only want money "he said demeaning me.
" daddy... " Zoey snapped at the father.
I smiled and picked up a check that was now on the floor.
Mr. Rick grinned, of course he thought that I really wanted money that's why I approached Zoey.
" You see that, Zoey ! This poor man only wanted treasure. He doesn't really love you " said Mr. Rick feeling his mind was right all along.
I saw Zoey staring at me with an indecipherable look. Then I approached Zoey and grabbed her hand.
" I am poor and in desperate need of money. But I don't sell my love for treasure. I really love your daughter and I don't need your money a dime "I said firmly and tore the check in my hand.
Zoey looked surprised, but then I saw her face smiling. While Mr. Rick's face flushed red with anger.
" Daddy, please bless our relationship "please Zoey.
" I've never asked for anything in this whole time. So I beg you, please bless us "pinta Zoey back, now he kneels in front of Mr. Rick.
" If you dare to be with him, then you must also dare to get out of this house. And I'll never give you my treasure a dime "threatened Mr Rick.
" daddy... If it can make you respect our relationship, then I accept. I will not demand any right to your property "said Zoey with confidence.
" Zoey ! " snake Mr. Rick.
" Thank you for daddy taking good care of me all this time. I will never forget the daddy" said Zoey then stood up and handed back all the facilities that had been given by the father.
" We're leaving, Daddy ! " zoey's goodbye then passed with me out of his residence.
" If you have any doubts, come back ! I wouldn't blame you if you chose to stay here "I said.
Zoey shook her head, then grabbed my hand tightly.
" I made a choice and you're the place I came home to" Zoey said, hugging me.

3 Years later
A middle-aged man had just been met by a young man. They just did a business deal. The man is Jackson and he just met Mr. Rick, Zoey's real father.
Mr. Rick's company condition is in trouble, so Jackson, who is now a businessman replacing his father, intends to help him. However, of course with the condition that he will pour funds as long as Zoey runs the company Mr. Rick.
Jackson learns that Zoey is married to Dave. But her desire to have Zoey never goes away. Let him let go, but now he'll make sure to separate Zoey from Dave. And will make Zoey really his.
" So how uncle, if you want me to help you you have to separate the two of them" Jackson said, smoking a cigarette and smoking his smoke.
Mr. Rick just sorted his temples. He can't make his choice. She doesn't approve of Zoey's relationship with Dave. But to ruin his daughter's marriage, he wasn't that kind of.
Jackson stepped closer to Mr. Rick who was still sitting in his seat of greatness. Jackson massaged Mr. Rick's shoulder.
" Uncle... Do you know, I still love Zoey very much. I used to be stupid for not being able to hold myself back. But I've changed a lot uncle... And I changed because Zoey "said Jackson trying to take Mr. Rick's heart.
" Do you know how Zoey's life is now ? She worked hard because her husband could not meet her needs. But if Zoey comes back with me, I make sure all her needs are met and I also make sure the uncle company gets back on its feet. I'll give you an injection of funds for the uncle company "persuade Jackson.
" In fact, I wouldn't want Zoey with that poor guy either. But I don't know how to separate them " said Mr. Rick.
Jackson smiled full of sly grin.
" I'll help you uncle. Just leave everything to me and I'll make sure Zoey comes back to you " Jackson said confidently.
Mr. Rick looked at Jackson who looked so certain.
" Alright ! Do what you think you can keep them apart as long as you don't hurt Zoey " said Mr. Rick later.
" Sure, uncle. Leave everything to me "said Jackson with a sly grin.
Meanwhile, Zoey and I just got back from the orphanage. We just celebrated our third wedding anniversary.
Now Zoey and I are lying on top of our argument. Zoey hugged me tightly, while I was busy stroking Zoey's brown mane.
" You're happy ? " i asked while looking at Zoey's pretty face.
" Of course, I'm so happy "said Zoey as she rubbed my cheek gently.
" You don't miss your father ? " many more. I know that my wife really misses her father.
" homesick... It's just, it's better to be like this " replied Zoey softly.
" There may be a way for your father to accept our marriage" I said with a mysterious smile.
Zoey looked up, looking at my handsome face without wearing glasses.
" What ? What road ? " ask Zoey with the two eyebrows that are linked together.
" Maybe in the presence of a child, it will make your father's heart melt and bless us "I replied with a meaningful smile.
