Yes Daddy (by Red Inkling) novel Chapter 93

MONALISA

“Back then. Years ago, your dad was in the same line of business that I am now in” Lucius started, his eyes searching for mine but I avoided his gaze, processing carefully all the information.

Sandro had told me this but I still held onto the tiny hope that this was going to be another version of the story, a version that would perhaps sooth the aching in my heart a little.

“And I… I was under your father for a brief while” he continued, letting his thumb swipe over my hand gently and affectionately.

“I will be nothing but honest so I am going to say the truth that your father was… He wasn’t the best person to be underneath. I spent only a few months with him but the most scars I have on my body was caused during my time with him. Your father didn’t care about a single person other than himself and his family. I knew he loved his family, everyone knew. Seb would only smile when he got a call from your mum. I only ever saw him look human when he talked to your mum. He was… Seb was a beast to everyone else. His was higher in ranking than I was and he made it a point to hate me and show off his hatred in every single way he could. He told me… Seb told me he saw a bigger monster in me and I went to Sandro after Seb attempted killing me”

“Sandro was higher than Seb was and so I got quite well protected under Sandro but when…” He took in a deep breath, removed his right hand from my hands and took it to my cheeks, lifting my head up slightly and making my teary eyes meet with his.

“I know that nothing I say here erases what I have done and how much I have hurt you” he gently wiped the tears that rolled down.

I got myself back and slapped his hand off my cheek.

“I didn’t come here for this. I came here for the truth and nothing more” I said, trying to sound as firm as possible but my voice was giving me swag badly.

It hurt a lot when the one you so want to run into when you are hurt is the same person who hurt you.

“But when Seb killed Sandro’s wife, I thought he had gone too far. Sandro was enraged and he tried killing Seb but Seb was too smart for Sandro to deal with. I had to do it. I was fuelled by my hatred for Seb and the fact that he killed Sandro’s wife. I badly badly wanted to get rid of him too and so I… I took it up. The mission to get rid of Seb and in no time, I really did it but that night that he died in my hands was the night I saw Seb look so feeble and so vulnerable”

“He… He hadn’t killed Sandro’s wife. He had kidnapped her and he had released her but to get everyone to hate Seb the more, Sandro had lied about the death of his wife. I… I regretted killing Seb and hell….” He shut his eyes for a few seconds before opening them and continuing with his words.

“I tried saving Seb. I didn’t fucking care about the fact that he had attempted killing me previously. To me, that was almost normal. What I had cared about was the wife of Sandro’s death and since that was fucking false, I wanted to save Seb but I could not. He… He asked me to go on, he told me to be worse than he was but to protect his family for him. It was with his dying breath that he asked me to protect you and your mum. I had to lie to your mum that I was his best friend. I confronted Sandro too but the bastard just laughed it away and said I had done a good job. I… I was really… I was really a fool, Lisa. I should not have killed your father. I should not have taken your father away from you in any way.”

I sobbed quietly. It wasn’t entirely his fault. It was not totally Lucius’ fault. It was more of Sandro’s fault and…. And my dad too, why had he joined the mafia in the first place? I could not understand much about the type of life my father had led or the type of life Lucius was currently leading.
