ELI
“No, son! It isn't. He is just trying to come between us.
“Yes! Your father would never do such a thing!”
“Oh come on, John. You can do better, bro. You see Noah, your daddy has always been insecure and envious. I mean, haven't you seen your mother? Because he couldn't have your aunt, he went and made a replica for himself. Didn't that shake you up a bit?” I grind my teeth at the reminder that this sick bastard still thinks of my wife.
“BECAUSE IT WAS ALL MINE! YOU STOLE IT!”
“How did I steal It? Hmm? Did I also push you to ruin your own daughter, you piece of shit?” I grab him by the collar and hit him so hard he stumbles back with a broken jaw.
“You made a choice to be the monster you are! Don't you dare give an excuse for it. You even got yourself a demon for a wife to complete the cycle! No wonder your son has a shit torn of insecurities!” I kick him before turning to Noah.
His lips are pressed into a thin line as he watches. The scene unfolds like his eyes are opening for the first time.
Maybe it's high time I pulled off the blindfold.
“I was going to fuck you up if I found out you had betrayed me. I know you have feeling for Athena, but she is not yours, never has been and never will be! Get that into your thick skull before you repeat history and turn into your psycho father, only difference is, Alex is a monster in his own right. He will chew you all out without a second thought and I will watch him do it! Fix Your shit and stop playing victim for everything.
I've watched you. Always silently competing against him and trying to imitate him. That is where you lost yourself. You're your own person. Talented and capable of doing great things. But you have been letting your desire to beat Alex consume and blind you. Maybe that's why you even went after Athena. To finally take something from him. But that won't ruin him, it will get you killed or You will lose yourself. Like your father here did.
His daughter has been in hospital for nine months, but here he sat watching a soap opera and drinking wine like he just heard she was getting married. I'm guessing that's why you gave me the signal. Because you witnessed his shit and it pissed you off. Well good. It means you're not a lost cause and can still find your way back.” I let out a breath before turning to face my dear bro.
“As for you, by the time I leave this place, you'd have lost all your senses. Starting with these hands. I'm sure Sloane will be happy to see you when she finally wakes, that's why I'll keep you alive. You'll be her perfect trophy. Right after I sell your wife to a drug lord so she can get a little bit of experience of what the poor girl went through at thirteen.”
“NO! PLEASE! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU!”
I click my tongue. “That's funny. Because I'm pretty sure my little niece said the same thing!”
“Do you remember her screams, John? Do you remember the way she begged you to not do it because she was your own flesh and blood? I wasn't there but I can still imagine her tears. Her plea and that shit fucks me up everytime. But you don't feel shit do you? Because you're a devil!” I jab a finger into his chest, hard enough to make him flinch.
“You don’t get to beg now. You had your choices. And you made them all wrong.”
Katya whimpers behind me, crawling like the pathetic leech she’s always been.
“Please… please don’t do this…”
“Don’t worry, I'm only sending you to hell and being the demon you are, you'll do just fine. I mean you carried her for nine months only to do that to her? It makes me wonder if she was really yours.”
I stand and pull out my phone, typing something in.
Within seconds, Luca’s voice crackles in my ear.
