Laughing at Chase’s stunned expression, my face runs into a hard back. Grabbing my stinging nose, I back up. “What the fuck?” Kane growls at Ethan.
“What are you doing?” I ask Mom, who is standing stoic on the porch blocking the door. Her face is pale and looks scared.
“Kane,” I stutter out worried about my mom.
“Mom, what is it?” Ethan pushes her to the side so he can see what’s wrong.
“No. No. No, no, no.” She shakes her head in disbelief backing up. She swings around to look at me with wide eyes. Something is seriously wrong.
“I finally found you, bitch,” a deep voice says from outside.
My mom gasps but only just shakes her head in disbelief. Everyone pushes their way outside. Kane holds me tightly to him. Seeing the man, my eyes widen. He looks a lot like Ethan. This man is evil; you can see it on his face and the way he’s leering at my mom. Kane is stiff beside me. He moves so he is in front of me and the other half of my body is hidden by Chase so I’m only able to peek out slightly.
The man is staring at my mother evilly before his eyes glance over the rest of us. He can’t see me. His gaze snaps back to my mother who has tears rolling down her face. Who is this man? How does he know my mom? Pushing away from Kane, I start to go to my mom.
“Where’s our bitch of a daughter?” he roars at her.
My head shoots back like I’ve been smacked. Kane’s body stiffens, and I can feel the rage radiating off of him. Putting my hand on his back, I peer around him once more.
This man has this vibe about him that just screams malice.
“Ah I see, Evelyn. You have a new dick to suck.” He laughs darkly, and I can hear his foot creak on the steps.
Beside me, I see Chase grab Ethan who is about to charge the man.
“Who the fuck are you?” Ethan yells.
“Ethan, is that any way you’re supposed to talk to your father? Speaking of children, where's that blonde bitch that took you guys away from me? She was the whole entire reason for your leaving.” He makes a huge deal out of looking around the field and the driveway.
Kane’s hand touches my back, pressing me harder into him. Fisting his shirt, I try to stay completely silent. I’m scared out of my mind, but I know Kane won’t let anyone hurt me. I always dreamed my father was a good guy. Now my hope of ever having that is shattered.
“Get off my property now! I give you one fucking minute before I kill you myself. You will not touch a hair on my daughter’s head. You kidnapped me.” Her voice hitches at the end.
My heart stops. My mom? Kidnapped? Oh my God! I try to hold in the sob, but it slips through. Kane starts backing up toward the door.
“You!” he yells.
Kane stops backing up and lets his arms fall from my back.
“You, you big fucker. What’s behind you?” Kane stiffens.
“None of your damn business, that’s what. I advise you to get your ass off this property before I remove you myself.” Kane's voice is chillingly calm.
“Ahh, you’re hiding something. Is that my daughter?” He cackles, and I can hear him walking around.
“Here, bitchy bitchy bitchy. Come give your daddy a hug,” he taunts me. My hand grips Kane’s shirt tighter. Closing my eyes, I try to block everything out. I peek around Kane.
The man sees me and a grin comes across his face. “Well, well, well. It’s my daughter, the slut,” he gloats at me. “You took everything from me!” he screams, spit flying from his mouth.
He takes a step toward me. Kane pushes me back gently and then walks up to the man until they are nose to nose.
“I won’t fucking tolerate you talking to my woman that way. I don’t care who you are, where you’re from. You better get off this property or suffer the consequences. Your choice.” Kane is a couple of inches taller than him and twice his size. Any other person would have been intimidated.
Shuddering, I hug myself. “Just because I don’t have her today, I will get her another day. Something happens to me? I have someone else who wants her just as bad. Wants to make her suffer.” My father licks his lips before bringing up his hand. He makes a gun symbol and makes a pop with his mouth likes he’s shooting me.
The man is too busy looking at me to notice Kane rearing his hand back. He punches him hard on the jaw, his head snapping back with his eyes rolling in the back of his head. He falls to the ground with a thump.
My eyes never leave the man who is lying on the ground. Unmoving. This man planned my attack. He all but admitted it. That letter I got wasn’t an accident. It was because of him.
What kind of father would do this to their daughter? I slide down to the ground holding my head trying to wrap my head around this. All these years I thought something happened to my dad and she didn’t want me to know. No, this man is crazy and kidnapped her.
