Not Saving You Twice, Dad Chapter 13
We had fought side by side, taking down every last person who had wronged us, and somewhere in those countless late nights spent working together, we had found our way to each other."Not a chance. Mom's so wrapped up in you now that she'd let me starve before she'd let you miss a bite."I smiled, stood up, and grabbed my coat. I walked over to her, took her cool hand in mine, and folded my fingers around it."Come on. Let's go home for the holidays."Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a secluded villa on the outskirts of the city.We had not even reached the front door before the smell of home cooking drifted out to meet us.I pushed the door open to a wall of warmth and soft golden light that filled every corner of the living room."Arthur! Adrienne! You made it!"Mom came out of the kitchen in an apron, wearing a cream cashmere sweater with her hair pinned neatly back. Her cheeks were rosy and her smile reached all the way to her eyes.There was no trace left

"The day you brought Monica into our home, the day you drove Mom to madness in my last life, you stopped having a home.""Last life?"Victor tried to ask more, but I had already turned my back and was walking out the door. I did not look back."Spend the rest of your days rotting in this rat hole, Victor. It is exactly what you deserve."Three months later, at the county superior court, the gavel came down and the scandal that had consumed the city finally reached its conclusion.Monica was found guilty of attempted murder, occupational embezzlement and multiple counts of financial fraud. Her combined sentences totaled 20 years in prison.Brandon was found guilty of large-scale financial fraud and conspiracy to commit murder. The circumstances were deemed especially egregious. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.The moment the verdicts were read, Monica's legs buckled and she collapsed in the defendant's box, too broken to even cry. Brandon thra

The bald man waved his hand, and his men seized Brandon again."No! Arthur! Brother, please!" Brandon stared at the gleaming blade and threw himself at my feet, dropping to his knees in front of me."I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Pay them for me and I'll do anything you want for the rest of my life! Please, I'm begging you!"A mocking smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.I reached into my pocket, slow and unhurried, and pulled out a business card. I held it out between two fingers to the bald man.He hesitated, took it, and glanced down. The color on his face shifted instantly."You're from... you're with Greystone Capital...""Shh."I pressed a finger to my lips and smiled. "Now do you understand who it was that lent him that 800 million?"Brandon's sobbing stopped dead. He jerked his head up, his eyes going wide. "You... you set this whole thing up? You're the one who baited me into borrowing from loan sharks!""Come on, Bran, don't make it sound so twisted. You were

"Fabricated?"I let out a cold laugh, pulled a voice recorder from my pocket, and pressed play.The cramped apartment filled with the sound of Monica's voice, talking to the truck driver's wife."The five million has been wired to your offshore account. Tell your husband to make sure he hits the target dead on. It'll be best if it kills him on impact."Once Victor is dead, I'll send the rest of the payment in full. Also, remind him to keep his mouth shut. The story is driver fatigue, nothing else."The voice on the recording was laced with venom and cold calculation. There was not a trace of the delicate, helpless woman Monica had always played in front of Victor.When the recording ended, the apartment went completely silent.Monica's legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor, her face the color of ash."You b*tch! I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you wh*re!"Victor's eyes went red. He grabbed Monica by the hair and dragged her to the ground."Let go of me! Get off me, you c

"Too bad for you, all I care about is money. And since you don't have any, I'll just let him pay in body parts.""No, please..."The machete was coming down when the apartment door was kicked clean off its hinges.A dozen men in black, fully equipped, poured into the room. Within seconds, every one of the loan sharks was pinned to the floor and disarmed.I stepped through the doorway in an immaculate tailored suit, picking my way through the wreckage without hurrying."Arthur!"Monica threw herself at me like I was her savior. "Thank God you're here! Please, save Brandon! Just pay them!"I did not bother hiding my disgust. The bodyguard behind me stepped forward and backhanded her across the room.I walked over to Victor and looked down at him.He stared back at me with clouded eyes full of tangled emotions. His eyes held humiliation, regret, and buried beneath all of it, a fragile sliver of hope. He thought I had come because I could not bring myself to let him suffer after a

Victor's hands were shaking as he dialed my number.I was sitting in the chairman's office on the top floor of the Carrington Group, sipping a glass of single malt and watching the live surveillance feed on my monitor. I had positioned my own men outside the apartment, and they were streaming everything back to me in real time.The phone rang three times before I picked up and put the call on speakerphone."Arthur! You ungrateful b*stard! Get me 800 million right now! Do it!"The second the call connected, Victor's voice came roaring through, commanding and entitled as ever. Even with someone's boot on his neck, he still spoke to me like he was giving orders.I leaned back in my chair and let out a quiet laugh. "Dad, have you completely lost your mind? 800 million? Is that for your worthless life, or for your b*stard son's?""Arthur! I am your father! Brandon is your brother!"Victor screamed on the other end of the line, his voice breaking. "Transfer the money right now! If any
