Arabella Rivera
My father was all sorts of things, a cheater, a liar, a manipulator and I can go on and on. But a murderer? That was something I couldn't swallow or visualize.
My vision blurs. "You're lying." I accused, shaking my head in denial. The man who shared the same DNA with me can't be a murderer. He was my father for fuck sake. Yes, he was overwhelming but a killer?
I shook my head more aggressively as if Haiden's words will just magically fly out of my ears. But they had already taken root in my brain and now they were sprouting.
"Bella, " Haiden's hand shoots out to grasp me but I backed away, shaking my head.
"You're lying Haiden." I whispered shakily.
It felt like my life was crashing down and there was no escape, no tunnel to get out of. No sun. And a miracle? Waiting for a miracle or hope was now impossible. In a matter of a few hours, my life had completely turned to ruin.
"Oooh trouble in paradise?" Gwen's nasty voic

Arabella Rivera"I'm coming with you," Haiden breathes out as he catches up with me.I looked at him. "No, you can't. I'm going home Haiden, if he happens to be there and sees you then he'll be angry and I won't be able to do what I'm planning."I get that he was trying to protect me but I was so tired of people protecting me. He needed to make me fight this battle on my own. All this mess was my family.Haiden scowls. "Are you fucking kidding? Did you not hear what I said Bella, he's dangerous. He put a fucking bullet-I clenched my eyes, forcing out the image that crept into my mind. I didn't want to picture father doing what Haiden said he had done. It was very hard to."Shit sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt Bella." Haiden whispers, tugging my hand to make me stop.I sighed heavily, looking at him. "He's my father Haiden, he won't hurt me," I said those words yet I knew they were utter bullshit. But if I needed this t

Arabella Rivera"Please don't take too long in there Arabella," Gertrude whispered, looking down the hallway then flicking her eyes back to me."I'll just take a second, I'll be out before mother gets back here. " I promised while scanning my eyes over father's study.It was very neat for a man who didn't allow his maid in there. Everything was lined perfectly and one would think he had never touched the place.If I needed mother to believe that her husband was a cheating bastard and a drug lord, I needed proof. Not only for her, but the police. I just really hope I would get some evidence even if I didn't know what I was looking for specifically."I hope you know what you're doing Arabella," Gertrude sighs and closes the door. I hear the soft padding of her footsteps as she leaves me alone in my father's study.I pressed my lips together looking around the room. I didn't know where to start first. I didn't even know what I was looking for.

Arabella RiveraMy phone buzzed. I had been in my room, toweling my hair as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I wasn't sure how long I had been standing there, gaping at the girl who looked like a total stranger.It was like I wasn't myself anymore. But wasn't sure if this was the better version or not.It all took a couple of hours to have my life turn to nothing but ruins. My so-called perfect family wasn't so perfect anymore. Sweeping or gluing the pieces back together was impossible now. And the look on mother's face said exactly that.My phone starts to ring and successfully draws me away from the mirror. I walked stark naked to my bed, wrapp

Arabella Rivera"Margie-"No shut up and let me finish," Mother spat. I was tempted to go downstairs and face him as well but she did tell me to stay there. I had to trust that she could handle it."I did everything to be a better wife for you. I tried so fucking hard to make this work. Yet here we are today. Turns out my husband for years have been sleeping with an underage girl that I once considered as a daughter-Mother laughs dryly but I could hear the raw pain in her voice. "I should've seen this coming, the late nights, the not satisfied with anything I do for you. You've been doing this for years behind my back weren't you?" Her voice cracks and my heart squeezes painfully.She didn't deserve this."Margie she came on to me-"Great, a cliche line overused by many cheating husbands. What does a bastard do when he's approached by underage teenage girls? Oh he accepts their advances and even pays them like they're prostitut

Arabella RiveraIt's her lifeless eyes staring directly at me that I knew would haunt me for the rest of my life.I couldn't remove my eyes from her. The woman who was like a second mother to me, who basically raised me as her own. Was now dead.I looked at the man who had done the deed. I couldn't see him as anything other than a monster. And that he was. A cruel sinister monster. A fucking demon.Someone who doesn't have a heart.

Arabella Rivera"Get away from her John. They're just kids leave them out of this sick game you're trying to play." Mother begged beside me when father said those nasty words.He snaps his eyes to her. "This isn't a game Margie. I'm serious. We just need to get rid of that boy and we all can start fresh-""No."His cold furious eyes draw back to me. "What did you just say?"Mother's grip on my hand almost turns brutal. "I said no. You're not going to hurt him. I'm not going to let you hurt him." I lift my chin in defiance but I didn't feel powerful at the moment, especially when the barrel of the gun aims at me.He looks at me like I had grown another head. "You don't have a choice Arabella," He snaps lowly.When I don't waver under his glare or tip my chin down, father snarls. "You fucking ungrateful brat. I did everything for you! You're the one who led me to fucking kill those people. And just to pack up and leave you

Arabella RiveraWhat was she planning?I could see her eyes on the gun, sense the wheels turning in her head. Haiden's sudden presence was like a light bulb in her head that couldn't go off. Whatever she was planning, I only hoped that she wouldn't get hurt.I didn't want to witness her death too."I forgive you, John. For everything. We can make this work. You don't have to hurt anyone else. " She whispers nearing him.I held my breath looking around the room.I felt helpless and useless that I couldn't stop him.
