Lillian’s pov
My head whips to the side violently, my breathing quickening as I felt the powerful blow of his palm on my cheek.
“Dad.” Christopher uttered and stopped dad from slapping me across my face again.
I slowly brought my hand to my burning inflamed cheek and turn to face my visibly furious father.
I blinked. Tears now streaming down my face.
“Look at what you’ve done!” He snarled and pointed at the TV.
The news channel showcased a photo of Sergio Harrington. One of his maids found him dead on the cold hard floor where I left him.
The picture of Sergio is replaced with a short footage of my car entering his premises.
It zoomed in, showing my side profile. When I turned my entire face was on full display.
Though the footage was black and white, even a fool would know it was me who entered his house last and before he was presumed dead.
“I wasn’t thinking dad. I went to his place only to speak. I swear by it. He just got me so angry-
A loud echoing slap on my cheeks made my head whip to the side again. My cheek stung terribly.
“You should have taken your medication Lillian! Now you have all three of us in hiding!” He roared and pushed Christopher away who was trying to stop him from slapping me again.
“You caused this too! You dropped her off! You were suppsed to make sude she was okay!” He sneered angrily and pointed at Christopher.
We were on a private jet, escaping the chaos we left behind to an island where it was safe. I didn’t know how long we were going to stay on that island until things died out and until dad manage to fix things.
But I already missed Aiden so much. I was certain he’d forgive me for killing Sergio.
It’s not like he liked Sergio that much. He’ll see that I only moved an obstacle in our path.
Sergio was preventing us from being together. He’ll see that. He will.
“I didn’t know she’d fucking go on a hunt for blood! She looked fine to me when I dropped her off!” Christopher snapped furiously.
I laughed. It was dry and mocking. “You two are acting all innocent. Didn’t you kill a man last night too?”
Dad’s eyes narrowed. “We had this one under control. No one would’ve known it was us. We cleaned up after ourselves. You see even if Aiden went to the cops, they would find nothing on us. But you. You didn’t think!”
I huffed, leaning back into the leather seats. “Don’t blame me for this. I told you I wanted Aiden but you keep pushing it back. I had to take matters into my own hands.”
“Yeah by getting caught.” Dad hissed.
