As I rode to my father's mansion, my phone buzzed and I switched to bluetooth.

"Yes"

"Where are you?" came my brother's voice.

Chapter 74

MIRO

As I rode to my father's mansion, my phone buzzed and I switched to bluetooth.

"Yes"

"Where are you?" came my brother's voice.

"En route to Dad's house." I replied.

"You good?"

"Yeah." I lied.

Theon audibly sighed. "I'll keep your food in the microwave."

Our call ended and an hour later, I arrived at my father's place. When I entered, I found him in the dining room sitting alone

at the head of a long banquet table. Sometimes, I wonder what it would have been like if my father wasn't a monster. Would we have gathered round this table like a family, chatting away happily?

I wonder what being a happy family feels like.

My father raised his head, saw me and waved me over. I bowed before taking a seat at his right hand, suddenly wary of the excitement in his demeanor.

I met him eating his special 'diet' and had to force myself to refrain from wrinkling up my nose at the smell of blood. My father signaled to the servants standing by and just as I feared, they brought my own dish. This time, it was a large bloody heart.

I stared at the atrocity and found no appetite to eat. Then I felt my father's eyes on me.

"What's the matter?" He asked in a rough tone.

"Nothing wrong. Father." I answered, slowly taking my fork and knife. I felt his eyes on me, as I cut into the flesh and slowly brought it to my mouth.

It tasted the same as usual but I was not the same person anymore. The man who used to gobble it all up was eager to impress and seek the good graces of his father. Now? I still want him to treat me like a son but I am no longer in a rush for his affection

Not when I just learnt that it's gradually costing me my life.

"I don't think your brother can get the revenge your sister deserves." My father suddenly commented, grabbing my attention. "I will take him off the Dominic case."

I stopped chewing and stared at him. "But Theon is more than capable of finding Dominic and bringing him to justice

My father gave me a look. "You sure about that?" He asked with a grimace. "He seriously injured my Beta just because of a girl he's obsessed with. Does that sound like someone who is focused enough for the task at hand."

I wanted to answer that it sounds like someone who is determined to protect what he cares about but then my father would probe me about my statement and I'm just not in the mood for that. Instead, I swallowed, dreading another bite. But it seems my father is right. Theo "Tell you what." My father said and I looked at him. "I will give you a chance to redeem yourself with me

My heart rate spiked as my father's gaze softened. An act I had never seen before.

He cleared his throat. I know things have been rough between is especially since your sister died." He swallowed and looked away "I am willing to give you a better chance at my forgiveness if you are willing to do what it takes to capture Domime and bring the justice Nora I couldn't believe my ears. Could this be it? Could this be the thing that finally gets me my father's affection since booting off Ryn makes me clash with Theon?

"I'll do anything. Dad" I replied, shifting in my seat to face him Anything to avenge her

My father suddenly smirked, his face changing from the softness it once had. "Good" He said. "Well, you can start by finishing your meal and after that, I'll take you somewhere."

He checked his wristwatch. "You have twenty minutes"

I looked at the food and swallowed again. "This was just for the meantime I told myself. Just until I catch Dominic Tarrent

get justice for my little sister.

and

With that thought. I took my cutlery and this time I ate with purpose. Whatever it takes, I'll do it.

Later that night. I entered my father's car and we drove a long distance until we arrived at a bar and when I saw the name, my mouth went dry MapleBee's Bar.

This was the place my sister and I got abducted but it was different now. It seemed to have been rebuilt to be bigger and

better

"Follow me." My father said as he alighted from the car.

I came down as well and obeyed while feeling the effects of the diet in my body. It felt like a rush of adrenaline fueled by a simmering anger. Crossing the parking lot to the building. I refused to look at the spot where we got nabbed. Instead, I looked straight ahead as we er MapleBee's Bar was one of the biggest bars in the country and well known for underground fighting.

As we entered I was suddenly overwhelmed by the feeling of nostalgia. The building might have changed but the vibe wast still the same -

hollering people cheering for their fave while placing bets on who would win. Theon made a lot of money fighting here during his teenage years and early twenties. Now, it suddenly dawned on me that maybe my brother was fighting to get away from my father.

As long as we used his money, he was able to control every aspect of our lives but when Theon started to make his own money, and introduced me to clients who helped me make mine, things began to get complicated between us.

My father passed through a back door heavy with security and to my surprise, we emerged at a quiet bar which was a stark contrast to the one on the other side of that door.

This bar was different and had a casino setting style to it. Most of the men here were elderly, most of them Alphas and Betas and old money, seated around chairs, smoking, drinking with beautiful topless women around them while they played cards and blackjack. My father approached a certain group of men seated around a table and the moment they saw him, they smiled.

"You're late, Finnegan. One of them said and I remember him to be one of the old money friends of my father, whose parties I and Theon were forced to attend.

Chapter 74

"My apologies. gentleman lad to brief my son. My father said aking his seat

I immediately felt the weight of about half a dozen eyes on me

"Greetings." I said, with my arms behind me like a soldier.

I stood there.

"Not the son we expected" One of them said and I remember him as the head of the Blackwell family.

There was something about him that made me feel like he was the Alpha of this friend group, not my father.

My father sighed as he rolled up his sleeves. "Unfortunately, I can't rely on him anymore. He's somehow wrapped around the finger of that girl"

"Ryn" Another person asked and I recognised him as my Uncle Sadie's Dad.

"Who else other than her! My father retorted. "She's a menard

"I agree and she's starting to get on my nerves. The first man said, putting our smoke from his cigar and now I remembered him as koman's dad, the head of the Caine family.

I stood there baffled as hell genuinely speechless.

Now, how in the world did Ryn Ashmore manage to piss off not just my father but also the most powerful people in the kingdom?

"You good?"

""Yeah." I lied.

Theon audibly sighed. "I'll keep your food in the microwave."
