John B's Dad Novels & Stories

she said. He squeezed her hand, sending more warmth spiralling up her elbow. "Yeah," he croaked, staring straight ahead into the distance. "No matter how much people tried to convince me it wasn't my fault, I just couldn't help thinking about what would not have happened if I had stayed home." Not knowing how to help erase his pain, she squeezed his hand back mutely, wishing there was a better way to assist without adding her own sob story. "My father was a cold bastard, something he pretty much inherited from his ancestors. He was the second crown prince, I wonder how he would have been if he had been the crown prince." Aithan 's shoulders twitched slightly at the thought.

The lights went off as Caleb turned it off, and the screen turned on, revealing a video clip. It was a video clip of the minister's house, where he was sitting in a room, probably a study room. John comes into the room and looks at his father. “Dad, I want to be a minister! Give me your position!!” John speaks in the video. “No! A minister is chosen by the public to serve them, but you! You're not a fit for this position.” Minister said in the clip. “Dad!!” John took out a knife from his back and dug it into his father's chest, thrusting it multiple times into his dad's chest until he died.

"I taught you to calculate." "I didn't teach you respect." "I taught you to fight." "I didn't teach you when to let go." "That's on me." "I failed to fix what's broken in you." Ethan flinched like the words had pierced his last defense. The name buried deep in his memory. His real father's name. Tears blurred his vision. "Dad." Alexander cut him off. Voice cold. Hard. "Michael Hart's son shouldn't be this pathetic." "He was a man of honor."

Johnny listened carefully. “It’s about your dad,” she began. “The reason he hasn’t been around, the reason he’s avoiding us… he has a girlfriend. They’ve been together for a while. They might even get married. He’s a cheat and doesn’t care about you or me as much as he cares about her.” Johnny blinked. It sounded like too much for him—too much for any child to hear. He felt betrayed, angry at Nat, but his feelings were jumbled and incomprehensible. He didn’t fully grasp why his dad would have another lover.

"Get over here this instant, Elijah!" Dad yelled, pointing at me. In that instant, everyone in the vicinity turned to look toward Dad. Dad snapped, "You insolent brat! You think you're so independent now, huh? What's the big deal about spending some money on your family? You're probably really happy right now, all while Jacob got beaten up! How did I ever raise a son like you?"

"Hello?" "Rea..." Jace's voice wavered, then broke. "What is it?" I mumbled, still groggy. "My dad... He's gone." His voice was barely a whisper, yet it snapped me awake. My heart thudded as his words sank in. Matthew Johnston. The man who took my parents from me—but also the man who treated me like his own daughter. I hated him, but I couldn't hate him completely. It's why I'd been dodging my promise to Lindey to visit the Johnston house. And now?

"You should not have done this, David. I stopped Dad from going to you a hundred times, but Dad didn't listen to me. He was very sorry for treating you badly. He thought that if he went to you, you would forgive him. After you threw Dad out of your house, Dad came home and just stared at his phone day and night, waiting for your call. He kept waiting for your call. He was so sorry that he stopped eating and taking medicine and then suddenly had a heart attack today. You said you have nothing to do with us anymore. You have nothing to do with Dad anymore. Then why did you come here? When you have nothing to do with Dad, it doesn't matter whether Dad lives or dies. If Dad opens his eyes and se

Josh edged out of his seat, eyes scanning around like he was waiting for someone to jump out of the hedge. “Jayden was in his fathers office two nights before he died.” I frowned. “And you know this… how?” A sly smile crept on his boyish face. “Because I work for Mr Turner.” “Jayden was supposed to be in a facility. Why would he be there?” Marcus cut in. “…and why sneak into his father’s office?” “He was looking for something.” Josh provided. “He came in frantic. I was working late, power had gone out for some reason and jayden snuck in. Must have used the hidden entrance.”
