Episode 68

Mona Lisa

I froze immediately. I have always heard that Alex's father was strict and harsh. My heart pounded heavily as I wondered what he was going to do to me for playing games with him.

"Welcome, Dad. Would you like to have coffee?" I asked, trying to lessen the tense environment.

He hesitated. "No. I just came here to stare at you. I mean, I'm so impressed that I had to take away some time from my busy schedule to watch the lady who was able to deceive me for a good twelve months."

I swallowed hard. He is really angry and none of this would be able to appease him. I guess I have to face the music now. I made a mistake and I have to own up to it.

I gave myself many reasons to be brave but the thought of who Mr Marvin was, made my soft heart worry.

"I'm sorry Dad. I'm sorry" Was all I could mumble.

I waited for him to reply but he didn't. Rather he kept staring at me. His eyes bored into my skin, making me uncomfortable and more worried.

Was he thinking of the best way to kill me?
