CATHERINE

The noise of the park was dulled into a distant hum… except for that violin.

That intensified for some reason, like it was playing the last notes of my life.

It took everything in me not to flinch from Ronald’s gaze.

I swallowed, shuffling on my feet. “I-“

“Catherine.” Marcus' sharp voice cut through the crowd like a blade, making my head snap toward him.

He billowed through the thinning crowd and it was only when he got closer that I noticed the distress on his face. Skin whitened,

  • 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

    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

    CATHERINEI leaned against the doorway, nestling a cup of coffee in my hand as I watched Ellie sleep, her face nestled between the sheets, her hands curling in the pillow. Her brows were still creased, her lips twitching like she was still thinking about everything that had happened. But we were sa

    CATHERINE The warmth of the coffee cup seeped into my palms, settling in my chest. The air outside was crisp, fog blurring everything in the neighborhood. Silence was what kept me from losing my mind this time.Three days in Ohio and the tight ache in my chest hadn’t loosened. My pulse still skips
