Rise Of The Disgraced Heir

"I refuse to be used!" Manuel's sister shouted as tears began to fall from her eyes. "You might want to sell me off to some sick man that only wants me for sex but I don't!" 

"You would rather that our family name be dragged through the mud?" Mrs. Juan asked her daughter. "What do you think all of those people will say when they see you serving at a party? What will happen to the name your father and grandfather worked so hard to build?"

Ian couldn't say that he was surprised with Mrs. Juan's decision to sell her own daughter. What shocked him was the fact that she would rather have her daughter be a sex slave than to marry someone for money.

"What name? Dad and Manuel already ruined it the moment they decided to take out those loans and break the law!" The daughter screamed. "Manuel and I made it even worse by going against the wrong person."

With that Manuel's sister slowly snuck a glance at Ian, who simply chose to ignore her.

"I won't lie. I made a mistake there. I should never have bullied the Lim sisters nor should I have spread those rumors, but mom, who encouraged me?" She asked as she looked her mother in the eyes. 

"What?" Mrs. Juan asked as she tried to get out of the bodyguard's hold.

"Really mom?" Manuel's sister asked her mother. "Did you really think that I wouldn't remember? Weren't you the one that was jealous of Constance Lim for having such a perfect life? Weren't you the one that told me to ruin the lives of her daughter?"

"Lies!" Mrs. Juan hissed as she glared at her daughter. "I have no idea what you are talking about?" She said as she denied ever having said such things about Ian's mom and sisters.

"You knew my mother?" Ian asked Mrs. Juan.

"She didn't just know your mother, she tried to come between her and your father." The daughter said as she explained things as best she could to Ian. "She has always been so bitter that your mother got to marry Richardo Lim."

"That is not true! I love your father, I have always loved him!" Mrs. Juan claimed as she continued to thrash against the guard's hold.

"Love dad?" Her daughter asked as she laughed at her mother's words. "You guys got married because you couldn't get Richardo Lim's affection! You wanted him to be jealous and when that didn't work you picked a man that was rich enough, but you still lost in the end mom."

"That's not how you speak to your mother, you ungrateful bitch!" Mrs. Juan screamed as she spat in the direction of where her daughter stood. 

"Me a bitch?" Her daughter asked. "Weren't you the one that was fucking the gardener and his son just before we were arrested?" 

Mrs. Juan was in shock at what her daughter had just said. She was speechless as she looked at the younger woman across from her.

"You didn't expect me to know, huh?" Her daughter said with a laugh.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Camilla asked Seth and Ian.

Seth looked at Ian to see what he wanted to do, but Ian simply shook his head telling them not to interrupt.

"This is fun." Ian said with a grin as he took another sip of his wine. "It's quite entertaining and I'm learning things I never knew before."

"You're worse than me." Seth said with a grin as he shook his head.

"You guys are both sick, why am I friends with you?" Camilla grumbled.

"You're too pure for this Camilla, that's why I didn't want to involve you." Ian tried to explain.

"No, I need to be able to handle this. This will be part of our job. If I can't then what kind of an assistant to the CEO would I be?" She asked Ian.

"You know I can always handle these things and you can handle the stuff I can't, like events and design." Ian replied with a laugh.

"It's best if we can both do it all." Camilla said in a determined tone as she returned her attention to the mother and daughter that were still attacking each other with words.

"You think you're so perfect mom? You think all of those women in your bible group liked you? They all knew you were a whore!" The daughter continued to throw accusation after accusation, not letting her mom speak.

"They knew that you slept with their husbands, but guess what they also slept with dad!" The daughter said as she laughed.

Mrs. Juan had a shocked expression as she heard of her husband's infidelity. Ian was sure that Mr. Juan cheated on his wife, most rich men kept mistresses. It was an accepted practice. 

He simply assumed that Mrs. Juan was shocked by the fact that her husband would cheat on her with her so-called friends. 

"Your father was in love with me! He would never sleep with one of them!" She told her daughter.

"Right, that's why he was spotted coming out of a hotel with Mrs. Garcia or Mrs. Lopez?" Her daughter said with a knowing grin. "You knew he was already having affairs with several of the maids, why does this seem so shocking to you?"

"It's not the same." Mrs. Juan said as she began to tear up. "Those maids were nothing but holes for him to fill. They were just there to appease his sexual appetite."

"He loved some of those maids more than he loved you mom! Accept it!" The daughter said in a victorious tone. 

"Take the mother away, put her back in a cell." Ian ordered one of Seth's men.

The man quickly looked to Seth who simply nodded, telling him to do as Ian had asked.

Soon Mrs. Juan was dragged out of the room, kicking and screaming.

"It's my life too! You must give me a choice! You can't let my daughter choose for me!" She shouted.

Ian raised his hand, telling the guard to stop.

"Then choose for yourself, which would you rather. A life as a prostitute on the streets, a life as a man's sex slave, or a life as a servant?" Ian asked.

Seth leaned forward eager to hear what the older woman would choose now that it was her own body on the line.

"I want to sell my daughter!" She screamed.

"It's her life, she gets to decide how she pays for the debts. So now you choose, or I will choose for you." Ian said as he glared at the older woman.

"She's already a whore, she can be a whore for the rest of her life." Manuel's sister said, to which Ian motioned for her to keep quiet.

"You will receive your own punishment, do not interfere." He warned the younger woman. "What you did was still unforgivable, you ruined my sisters and for that you will have to pay."

"Isn't it enough that you have taken -" She said.

"Shut up, bitch." Camilla spoke, cutting her off mid-sentence. "This isn't a negotiation, you are lucky Ian and Seth let you choose. You should be kissing their feet by now."

Everyone was shocked by Camilla's sudden outburst rendering everyone in the room speechless. 

Ian and Seth both smiled proudly at their friend. They never expected the meek Camilla to speak that way to this woman.

"What's your choice?" Ian asked Mrs. Juan as he returned his attention to her. "Don't think I've forgotten. I'm waiting. You're lucky my father and mother aren't here, or else I would have made them choose for you."

"Your parents are too weak to deal out this kind of punishment." Mrs. Juan suddenly said. "That's why your family fell, because you trusted too much in your grandfather's cousin Rene. We all knew that man was bad news, he had made the worst deals and was involved with the worst people."

"Are you really trying to annoy me?" Ian asked. "If you don't choose I will decide then." 

Ian stood up and crossed the room to stand in front of the older woman. 

He looked down at her as she was forced to her knees by the guard that was escorting her out of Seth's office.

"You hated the thought of being a servant, but that was just because your daughter could have suffered for you." Ian said. "I honestly thought you would choose to marry her off to some man, but I was wrong. You are worse than I expected."

Mrs. Juan glared at Ian as she looked up at him.

"Normally I don't hit women, but. . ." Ian said as his voice trailed off and he lifted a hand to slap her.

He could see as she shook in fear of what was to come.

Ian's hand came down and landed squarely on her cheek, turning it red.

"You are the worst mother I have ever seen." Ian accused. "You will be sent to work as a prostitute. I wouldn't dare risk selling you to a man you might be able to trick. You will spend your life pleasuring other men and when your husband finally comes back he won't even touch you." 

With that Ian nodded to the guard and allowed them to finally drag Mrs. Juan out of Seth's office.

Ian's lips curled into a smile, he never thought of how satisfying that would feel. All this time he thought that he had settled his anger with the Juans, but it seemed he wasn't quite done with them.

"Don't feel so confident, missy." Camilla said as she looked at Manuel's sister. "You're next and trust me your punishment will not be any lighter.." She declared with a grin.
