HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION (An Erotic Billionaire Romance) novel Chapter 152

Alaric’s POV:

My body went completely still. Clint’s words hung in the air like a dark and heavy cloud. His gaze remained on mine, and I didn’t look away either. Didn’t move, didn’t say a fucking word.

I didn’t try to deny it. Hell, I didn’t even want to. It’s why I was here.

To accept the fact that I killed my own father.

“Nothing to say, huh?” he asked, gaze narrowing. “You won’t try to deny it?”

With every second that passed, the expression on Clint’s face soured even more. He was in disbelief. Almost like he wasn’t sure I did it at first, and was only guessing when he tried to accuse me just now.

And me not denying his accusations only confirmed it.

Yes, I killed my father.

I was thirteen years old and completely fed up. My father had done too much, consistently beating up my mother, and even though I tried so hard to defend her, it was never enough. He still locked her up in psychiatric facilities and made her look crazy, releasing her whenever he wanted and putting her back whenever she defied him.

But then, he touched Nolan. Beat him up. I wasn’t around when it happened, only to get home and find out that he had passed out and was receiving stitches at the hospital.

I told Meadow all that, but what I didn’t tell her was what I did after.

My father was a reckless man. I knew where he kept his gun. And at that point, I was fucking pissed. More than pissed. No thirteen year old should’ve ever had to know things like this, but I wasn’t just a regular thirteen–year -old.

I needed to protect my family–Mutti and Nolan–before my father killed us.

I went to his office during one of his late nights, when no witness was around.

And then I…

I shot him.

I didn’t say a word to him, I just pulled the trigger.

I didn’t flinch when my father’s body hit the floor. I didn’t think I was even capable of flinching. But that moment ruined me forever. The image.

The way his eyes widened in surprise. His last word: “Why?”

Why?
