Alexis finished straightening up in the kitchen and living room. She hadn't joined everyone else outside. She felt an overwhelming need to express to Sir that she didn't need to relax with the others. She wanted to make it clear that she took her position in this house seriously. Deep down she felt injured by the changes that he had outlined earlier. She realized now that she did want to be treated differently despite what she had told him. On some level, she still knew that she would be special to him, but her need to satisfy him had increased with the new rules. It wasn't about sexually satisfying him; rather it was about satisfying his need for order amidst chaos. She knew that this was one area that would allow her to stand out above the rest of the women.
Alexis thought about the last couple years that she had lived in his home. It was a wonderful time in her life. He made her feel special. She had been one of those people that floated from job to job never really feeling like anything suited her properly. Submitting herself to a man gave her a sense of worth for the first time. She wasn't sure if she would feel that way were it any other man. There was just something about Tom that felt right. She never thought it was his success that attracted her to him, although being successful was an attractive trait. It was some other quality, or maybe a few qualities working in concert together, that made him irresistible to her.
Alexis had never been jealous or upset by the other women in his life. She really did enjoy that kinkier aspect of her submission. Lately, she was worried that her feelings for him were getting away from her, and she began to worry about what would happen if this submissive life came to an end. There was a new complication that she had to figure out, and she worried that it would be poorly received.
She was wiping down the dining room table when the phone rang. Alexis jerked upright at the sound of the interruption. The ringer hadn't been turned on in days, and the noise had startled her. She shuffled into the living room looking for the receiver. It was 9:30pm and it seemed odd that someone would be calling so late. She found the tablet remote and used it to answer the phone. It only allowed her a speaker option.
"Good evening." She said as she answered the call.
"Who's this?" The voice slurred out through the speaker.
"This is Alexis. May I ask..."
"Is this Tom Bolden's number or not?" The voice retched.
"Yes it is." Alexis said taken aback by the rude voice on the other end. "May I ask who's calling?"
"It's his father. Put the little shit on the phone."
Alexis bristled realizing that this is the call Sir had been waiting for. He sounded drunk. She knew that Sir would not appreciate hearing from him in this condition. It wasn't her place to voice an opinion. She simply asked his father to wait a moment, pressed the mute button, and went out to the patio.
Alexis appeared in the doorway, and eyed Tom sitting a few feet away. Fran was nestled between his legs sucking and licking at his balls. He had a smile on his face, and it pained her to interrupt them. She quietly walked toward him holding the tablet and leaned over whispering in his ear.
Tom's eyes opened wide as Alexis' words registered. He jerked the tablet from her hand, and verified the number on the screen. He pushed Fran aside retreating to the kitchen. He set the remote on the counter and took a deep breath. Then he hit the mute button.
"Hello?"
"Well look who it is!" His father slurred into the phone. "Who was that answering your phone? I didn't know that Tommy had a girlfriend." His voice dripped with disdain.
Tom did his best to gather himself. His father had never been a heavy drinker, and he found it uncomfortable to speak to him in this state. He certainly didn't expect the call to start so contentiously.
"I... I didn't know that you did either."
"Ha! Look how clever little Tommy is. What? Your old man isn't allowed to get some good pussy? What's wrong? Did mommy run out to California to cry to her little baby? I got a message from her cunt of a sister. I know she's there. Put her on the fucking phone."
Tom wanted to be angry, but the reality of everything was unexpectedly overwhelming. He had hoped that when he finally spoke to his father everything would just settle itself out. He had been waiting for this call. But now, he didn't recognize the person on the other end of the line. Hearing his father's voice just made him want answers. He wanted to know how everything got so fucked up. At its core, Tom was still his son and he couldn't understand his father's actions. He was awash in unfamiliar emotions. For the first time in a very long time, Tom Bolden felt completely powerless.
"I... but... Dad? Why are you doing this to her? To us?" Tears welled up in his eyes. "Why are you trying to hurt her and strip everything from her?"
These weren't the words he had intended on saying when he finally spoke to him. These words just came out reflexively. In his mind, he had planned to be calculated and take charge.
"Jesus Christ! How the fuck did I raise such a sissy? This is pathetic. Look at you whining... 'but, but, but'... 'oh how could you?'... I should have put my foot down when you said you were moving to LA to become another poor, faggoty writer. I don't owe you shit for explanations. I don't owe anyone anything. I'll live my life the way I want. And if your little prude bitch of a mother doesn't get on the phone or sit down with me soon, I'll make sure she's as penniless as you are."
Tom's voice quavered while he fought to hold on to his emotions. "What did I ever do to you? I thought that you..."
John Bolden cut him off in a dismissive snap. "Jesus! Shut the fuck up. You have her call me or I'm flying out there to raise high holy hell."
Tom felt suddenly angry. The thought of his father coming to his house made him angry. The thought of this man trying to fuck with his life made him angry. He snapped.
"The fuck you will!" Tom shouted back finding a bit of confidence. "You step foot in California and I'll have you arrested. I don't give a fuck. I'll make some shit up and get you thrown in jail." He seethed. "Good pussy? Some slut spreads her legs for you and all of sudden you aren't a pathetic, middle management nobody? What happened to you? You used to be a decent person."
"You don't ever talk to me like that! Fuck you!" John spat back through the receiver. "Tell her to call me. Or you'll both be left with nothing!"
With that he hung up the phone.
Tom's heart beat fast in his chest. He had a few tears rolling down his cheeks. He was angry with himself for being so emotionally affected. He was upset over his inability to control the conversation better. Mostly he was devastated by how little the man seemed to think of him. In that moment, he realized that he had lost his father. Despite everything, it was a profoundly sad realization.
He stood with his hands braced on the edge of the counter. Tom just couldn't understand the change in his father's demeanor. He had never been a violent or rude man. Something had snapped in him. It was far worse than he had originally assumed. He was furious with him, but he was also deeply pained by the reality of the situation. He looked up and saw Frank standing in the doorway. He'd heard the conversation.
Frank knew then that his mind was made up. He needed to help him. He thought that Tom's plan was unattainable, and he noted that despite the young man's intelligence he was thinking about the problem all wrong. Years of practicing law taught him that you didn't always need to out litigate your opponent; it meant you had to make them think you could out litigate them and scare them into a plea. You had to demoralize them. Now this was a more manageable goal that would still require his assistance, although it always stood a chance of failing.
"Tom?" Frank said quietly.
He saw the young man look up at him with desperate eyes.
"Listen to me. Don't feel bad. You have to crush him. We have to crush him. You heard what he said about you? He doesn't know who you are. He doesn't know what you've accomplished. We'll use it all against him. But... right now... I need you to get your head right."
Tom listened to Frank speak. He knew that he was right, but the pain of his father's words still agonized him. Everything had been surreal in the last two days, and he hadn't let the gravity of the situation weigh on him. It now felt like a crushing weight.

Frank walked sullenly back outside. He took a seat on the outdoor sofa and tossed back his glass of wine. Alexis came up and knelt down next to him. She knew something was wrong. She could see it in the look of consternation on his face. Fran looked worried as well. She hadn't heard the whole conversation but bits of it had carried out through the open door.
"Is he alright, Frank?" Alexis asked in dismay.
