CATHERINE

My grip on the steering wheel tightened until the skin on my knuckles ached and ashened. My heart was in my throat, threatening to spill over, a bead of sweat hanging low on my face, the salty smell mixed with adrenaline invading my senses.

My mind was a blur as I sped through the streets, violating every possible road law known to mankind. None of that mattered. I needed to get to Ellie.

The shooting was odd to my benefit.

I couldn’t remember how long I stayed crouched under my kitc

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 116

    CATHERINE Silence.Absolute silence.That was the first thing I noticed. No voice constantly screaming at me that I was going to lose everything, no weight crushing my chest. Just… silence.I reveled in it.But it didn’t last, like every other thing in my life. It broke down steadily, falling apart like sand in water. And then his voice broke through.“Catherine!”On edge, concern. Rage. Something else. Ronald.“Catherine, can you hear me?”Too loud.Another set of voices. Male. Marcus.“She’s still breathing. Let’s get out of here. Now.”I tried to force my eyes open but they refused to cooperate. The scent of gunpowder still hung low in the stale air, reminding me of what I had just done.That’s right.I killed him. Adrian.My throat tightened, bile crawling up, and the next thing I felt were strong hands, wrapping around my waist.The world felt heavy, the voices blurred into something distant, stretched thin like they were underwater.“Careful-”“Don’t drop her-”“Move!”My body

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 115

    CATHERINE My focus snapped back. I stepped back, hands on my gun. The guards reacted immediately, their weapons cocking and ready, aimed at me. Marcus’s rough growl cut through the tension as he stepped in front of me, his entire frame covering my line of sight, ready to strike.Still, Adrian’s voice filtered through. “There’s no need for violence.” His voice sounded too amused. It made my skin crawl.Then my breath caught as a realization set in.I stepped out from Marcus’s frame. “Where is he?”Adrian’s eyes gleamed. “Safe,” he simply said. “For now. It all depends on you if you and your little friends walk out of here intact or in a body bag.”A shiver ran through my spine, my sweaty palms curled into a fist, fingers digging into them.“What do you want? You’ve been terrorizing me and everyone I love for god knows how long,” my throat tightened. “Why?”His brows furrowed slightly. “The weather today is terrible.”I frowned.“Let’s talk inside.” He said, gesturing to the door. “Yo

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 114

    CATHERINEThe sun was already dipping, making everything look softer than it actually was. Except the men in front of me. Their eyes moved like predators, sharp, calculating, their bodies were made for battle and I almost wondered what Marcus must have go told them.One of them met my gaze, his eyes narrowing on me.My pulse jumped as I tore my eyes away, clearing my throat. “We need to leave in the next minute.” I said to Marcus who was giving out instructions.He turned to me, his lips turning into a straight line. “Rumor is, that location you gave me, is the home of one of the five families in New York. The Rain family.” My brow furrowed. “I thought they were all dead.”He shrugged. “The property belongs to them. Doesn’t mean they’re the ones occupying it.” His gaze moved past me. “Doesn’t also mean some of them are willing to find out.”My gaze flicked back. A few of the men were staring right at us. Their eyes prickled my skin. I turned back to Marcus.“What does that mean?”“I

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 113

    CATHERINE I must have forgotten how to breathe, or the air was too thick. Either way, my lungs stopped working, my ears rang, drowning out everything.A muffled sound echoed from above me.My head felt heavy, but I looked up anyway. His lips were moving, talking? No. His brows were knotted, his eyes wide , fear seeping out. The veins in his neck were bulging. Shouting.My gaze flickered to the ground. I was closer to it than it should have been. When did my knees give out?My grandmother’s words refused to stop replaying in my head.Your father isn’t dead.The cold that settled in my bones wasn’t from the harsh crashing of waves or the fact that we were close to the sea. It was from the realization that the worst of them all was still here… lurking in the shadows.A hand clamped down hard on my shoulder.I turned to meet Marcus’s wild eyes dragging over me like he was searching for injuries. His voice broke through the ringing this time, barely. “Catherine,” he barked, shaking me g

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 112

    CATHERINE “I take it your martyr stunt didn’t work out as well as you thought it would.”I shuffled on my feet, pushing down that feeling that tried so hard to crawl back up. The look in Marcus’s eyes was plain and simple… disappointment. He had every right to.I swallowed heavily, taking a step forward.His gaze faltered, just for half a second before hardening.“Why are you here, Cath?” He said evenly, even as his fingers dug into his arms.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice muffled by the steady sound of waves crashing into each other. Cold seeped into my bones but the weight in my chest thawed it out. The docks were practically empty, save for the security guard staring us down from the end of the boat. I pretended not to notice.His scoff was lost in the wind as he tilted his head heavenward. “I’ve got crates to offload, Cath.”“Marcus-“He snapped his head back to me, eyes narrowing. “No. You don’t get to run into a fucking death trap even when I begged you not to and now whe

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 111

    RONALD“Found your little friend.” The man said, his dark gaze flicking to Frankie.For a moment I was certain I was hallucinating. Frankie had been halfway across the country, setting off his own plans against the threat we both faced.Now he was here. Bruised and barely conscious. His once pristine suit was jagged, soaked in crimson, his silver rings stained with blood. The sight of him reduced to something so fragile felt… wrong. Frankie was always untouchable. Until now.“Frankie?” Mason breathed. The disbelief in his voice only sharpened. “Well… that’s unexpected.”Frankie’s unfocused eyes blinked slowly as he struggled to lift his head. “Ronald…” he rasped. “You-.”A slow clap echoed through the chamber, cutting off whatever he was about to say.“Touching,” the man before us drawled, his tone laced with mock amusement. “Truly. Loyalty is such a rare commodity these days.”My gaze hardened on him. “You dragged him into this to make a point?” I asked coldly.His lips curved into

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 60

    CATHERINE“We need to talk.”The words hung between us like a thin thread, one wrong move and everything comes unraveling. Ronald’s eyes moved over my shoulder, then back at me. He opened his mouth to say something but then the other side of his car door opened.My brows furrowed.A man stepped ou

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 61

    CATHERINE The metal was cold in my hand, but grounded me, reminding me of what was most important to me. Family.If I couldn’t protect the only one I had left, then everything I’d endured, every sacrifice, every line I’d crossed meant nothing. I wasn’t shaking… more like numbness which surprised

    CATHERINE “What do you mean we have to leave?” Ellie asked, her brows scrunched up in confusion. “We literally just got here and our house isn’t exactly safe thanks to your boyfriend.”I blew out a shaky breath, stepping fully into her room. “Look,” I started, eyes scanning for the closest bag. “I

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 59

    CATHERINE The following few days were filled with an awkward silence. Ronald had made sure Ellie was settled into her own room, Ellie still wasn’t talking to me, I refused to stay in the same room as Ronald. I couldn’t. And Stacey called me, bawling her eyes out when she’d gone over my house and
