152 You Had No Righ (1/2)
”I asked you not to come into this room,” Anthony countered. I turned away, not giving him the satisfaction of hearing my answer.
”I thought you loved her.”
”Oh, daughter of mine... Your mother fed you all that bulls.h.i.+t while you were growing up.” I could hear a distinct 'told you' from beside me. It irritated me so much that I wanted to strangle him. ”Your mother thought that I loved her, and I preferred to keep it that way.”
”You're a sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you know that?”
”You're my daughter. Who would know better?”
”She was pregnant?” I screamed at him.
”I wouldn't care less. I'm happy you're here, Mia. Now, I can finally get what I want.”
”What the h.e.l.l do you want?”
”You. Gone.”
A strangled laugh left my throat.
My father wants to kill me.
He also killed my mother.
Everyone made me think that the love of my life had committed the crime.
My life was a twisted plot of meandering paths.
”Don't threaten her,” I heard him hiss.
”You won't kill me over this p.u.s.s.y, Anthony. It would mean war. You would lose to Luke.”
I soaked the conversation in.
They were allies. I should have known, but it stung.
”I will kill everyone for her,” he swore. My limbs almost faltered. A sob threatened to break through.
No more.
No more...
I played the words over and over in my head.
”So, you killed your wife so that you could be a crime lord? Why would you do that?”
”Money is the anthem of success,” he told me. ”You will not be the reason why I lose it, Mia Vincent.”
I dreaded what would happen next. I was overcome by the urge to pull the trigger and kill the disgusting man.
I pressed the b.u.t.ton on my watch and spoke into it.
”Send reinforcement to location. Rat found.” The clock buzzed once, indicating that the message had been received.
”They won't do anything to me. They know I am alive. Don't you dare think for a minute that you are getting out of this alive,” he sneered.
His finger twitched on the trigger. A devious smile spread across his face.
