And the way we two are behaving I don’t think that would be possible.
“The Damien I know wont stop by one letter, and the way you both are now here. Tied up.” He said gloating. “I knew not giving you the letter would be the worst mistake I would have made compared to the ones I had. Including Mike and Dahlia.”
“Dahlia?” I asked.
I know Mike being the co-CEO was part of his plan to divert us from him. But Dahlia?
“Yeah, well I thought involving Dahlia in the plan would be great. Only to see she too is such a failure like her brother. The genes runs in your family huh.” He grumbled.
Jesus can he insult us any worse? Calling us dumb is better than comparing us to the little witch.
“But I had to include her. You just wouldn’t go anywhere I asked you to. God! You were so cranky and like a spoilt brat in your ‘breakup stage’. Even got worsen when you became whiny in your ‘I miss him stage’.” He imitated me. I so do not sound like that.
But. To hit me in the area where it hurts the most. Can he get any low?
“If you broke up it should be it. Not whine about it.”
The irony of him commenting on my period of depression when he, the master mind behind those accidents, is the reason behind it, is not lost on me.
“But I knew, you are like those naive heroine in those lame ass cliché movies, which you females love. I mean what’s up with that?
Anyways I knew you would fall into whatever plans Dahlia had. But I underestimated your skill on getting out.” He said irritated.
And the irritated him is definitely not nice. Which was clear from the slap he gave me. Again
The bitch slapped me again!! The fact that I didnt register him slapping me but understood he slapped me from Amanda’s gasp, is something that baffles me.
Jesus how my mind can wander off in situation like these is beyond me.
But ow it hurts like a bitch.
He grabbed my cheek in between his two fingers squeezing it so tightly that I must look like a duck now.
Other than the fact I don’t look good, he is hurting me by holding such a way.
“Your dad has indeed taught his princess how to defend herself unlike what I thought.
“Maybe naive but not fragile.” He snickered before letting my face go .
Dad must be laughing seeing me in this position, thinking ‘all teachings gone to waste’.
“There too my plans failed. It angered me to no end. So I made sure the three rots in jail.” He laughs like a maniac.
Now, I think Satan must be an angel compared to him.
Technically speaking he was before.
“What I don’t get is, why you had to pretend and stay with me, to know the plans? All you, had to do was ask.” I asked him.
“You would have answered honestly?” He asked while looking at me as if I have told him Santa exists.
“Yeah, she would have.” Amanda commented shaking her head.
“I wont understand how that genius had you as a daughter.” He wondered out loud.
“Hey!” I was offended.
“He is saying the truth Kat.” Amanda said.
“Still. Anyways, yes I would have answered because those plans was not as if it were a huge secret. But to answer your question of my naivety. No I wouldn’t have given out what the clues were. Its not as if you pretending got you anything from me, other than my plans of visiting places.” I said sincerely.
“True. But those plans did help me to know where to place traps even if it didnt help much, at least it got you here. But there’s another reason as well. I needed your shares.” He explained
“But you have the company.” I asked.
“That’s just not enough. You think I did all these so that I would be the CEO on name only? I needed the stocks to keep my place. Yet you had to give out your shares to the bastard.” Nathaniel yelled.
Which bastard is he talking about? The one with my shares- ohhhh him!
I looked at Amanda in confusion as to what he is saying. She just sat there smirking. But I didnt. Oh wait! Dad did.
“My dad knew I would be giving the shares to anyone who asked, just to avoid all the problems. So he was the one who gave Ryder the shares.” I explained angering him even further.
If only he had two horns
And the moment the thought passed through my head, as if he could hear me, he slapped me again.
Jesus! My pretty face is going to be destroyed by him. Is my teeth shaking?
“If the shares were what you wanted then why give your shares to Carol?” I asked remembering to the time I had gone to him in tears when Carol stole the company. How ironic going to the king of thieves to cry about the small one.
“Like I would have given her my shares.” He scoffed.
“The one in her hands were fake ones, while the original one that she thought she was signing to get my shares were her ‘willingly’ giving me her shares.” He mocked.
“She never found out? ” Amanda asked.
Did she get any slaps? Or was it only me?
“Oh! She did find it out. Why do you think Carol had disappeared for 2 months?”
“No you didnt!” I exclaimed.
What am I thinking, of course he would.
“But I did do it. I had to get rid of her like I did with your parents if I needed any peace at all. Now-” He said.
“Are you sure?” A very familiar yet a voice I hadn’t heard in a very long time said from a distance.
“Carol?” Nathaniel asked shocked, as he turned to look at the two figures in the entrance of the warehouse. Now’s the time.
“Bitch!” He groaned as he fell down from my hit, by the knife handle, on the back of his head.
I knew the knife would come handy.
“I see you have taken your knife with you, at least this time.” The second figure chuckled.
Jesus! I saw him yesterday and still I missed him a lot.
My Ryder.
