The bustle inside the cafe seemed louder than usual. My pulse hammered inside my chest, the sun prickled at my skin, making sweat bead around my temples.

I gnawed on my bottom lip as impatience threatened to swallow me whole.

The ding of the bell echoed throughout the small empty space. My head snapped up, my breath stuttered.

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 98

    CATHERINE The bustle inside the cafe seemed louder than usual. My pulse hammered inside my chest, the sun prickled at my skin, making sweat bead around my temples.I gnawed on my bottom lip as impatience threatened to swallow me whole.Then the doors swung open.The ding of the bell echoed throughout the small empty space. My head snapped up, my breath stuttered.My grandmother walked through the doors, head held high like she owned the place. Her pearls danced around in the sun as she scanned the area and the moment her eyes landed on me, a small frown formed on her face.Irritation flared up but I forced it down, forcing a smile.When she got to my table, she lowered herself into the seat opposite me. My eyes still wandered, behind her, looking for-“She’s in the car,” my grandmother said before I could ask. “You’ll see her. But we need to talk.”I clenched my jaw, forcing my gaze to her. “About what?”Her brow arched. “The information you requested from me. Zavier.”My head instin

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 97

    CATHERINE Ice flooded my veins. My mind snapped back to the safe house. Bile crawled up my throat at the slow, horrifying realization that it wasn’t a coincidence.“He let me go,” I whispered.Marcus turned sharply. “What?”“He let me go,” I repeated, even as dread coiled tighter inside me. “The driver… he knew who I was. He had my picture. He said he was taking me home.”Solomon’s eyes darkened.“Not home,” he said.Understanding slammed into me like a truck.“No,” I breathed.“Here.”Sherry looked between us, panic starting to creep into her expression. “Miss Catherine?”But no one answered. This wasn’t just a game to T. This was control. Every move. Every step. Every decision. Mine. Ronald’s. Even the police. All of it… exactly where he wanted us. And we had just walked right into it.My chest tightened as I slowly lifted my gaze to Solomon.“He’s not hiding,” I said quietly.Solomon’s expression hardened.“No,” Marcus agreed.I swallowed.“He’s leading you.”For a moment no one s

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 96

    CATHERINEThe chatter in the precinct was dulled by the steady rush of blood in my ears. My grip on the disposable cup tightened when an officer brushed past me, disappearing down the hall. I was anxious. My pulse wouldn’t stop raging. I downed the water in a single gulp, tossing the plastic aside. Marcus and Detective Solomon were still inside his office, going over everything. Or at least trying to. Marcus had asked where the hell I’d gotten that load of information about Zavier. Ronald sure as hell didn’t tell me. I wasn’t going to let Marcus worry over mundane details. All we needed to do was focus on bringing this nightmare to an end.The buzz of my phone in my right pocket vibrated throughout my body, snapping me out of my spiral.I picked immediately.“Cath,” Stacey breathed.My throat tightened.“How was it?” She continued, worry coating her words. “Marcus told me you had to see Ellie for a while. Is she okay?”The lie tasted bitter even before I spoke . “Yeah.” I said, for

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 95

    CATHERINEThe image hadn’t left my mind.It was still grainy, distorted, the security footage blurring some parts but it was there.A younger Ronald, standing over an older man with a gun pointed at him. I didn’t look away when the shots rang out, or when the man’s body dropped to the ground. I couldn’t. And now I wished I did.T’s voice was stuck in my head too.Ronald killed his own father. He’s a monster that needs to be stopped.That was before I knew any better. I couldn’t believe I actually fell into T’s poisoned words.A hand gripped my shoulder.I flinched, snapping out of the haze. I blinked, Solomon’s office slowly came back into focus. His gaze was sharp on me, eyes narrowing slightly.Marcus shifted slightly, glancing sideways, silently asking if I was okay. My lips flattened as I nodded once before turning my attention back to Solomon.“That’s a bit vague, detective.” I said despite the way my heart hammered in my chest. “Care to shed some light on that?”The detective d

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 94

    CATHERINE The creak of my front door was the only sound that cut through the quiet air. For a moment I just stood there, soaked from the rain, my mind still spinning from the realization that I had nearly gotten myself kidnapped by one of T’s men.Then the hallway lights flickered on and Marcus burst into the living room like a storm. His eyes landed on me, then widened.My heart skipped a beat.His eyes narrowed on me, worry and rage taking turns. They narrowed on me, like he was trying to convince himself that I was really the one. Then, his shoulders fell as he exhaled a sigh of relief.But he caught himself, remembering he was supposed to be mad at me and straightened, crossing his arms over his chest.“Where the hell were you?” His voice echoed in the quiet room.A deep frown creased his face as he took a step forward.“Actually scratch that,” he muttered. “What were you thinking when you ran away from the cops with a wanted man?”I forced a slow breath through my nose, exhaust

  • Your dad is mine   CHAPTER 93

    CATHERINE I curled myself into the couch, trying to ignore the sound of water, dripping somewhere in this metal box Ronald had locked me in.Drip. Drip. Drip.The sound echoed off the walls like a ticking clock.There was nothing to distract me. No television, radio, even my phone had been taken and crushed by Ronald. He was convinced that T could track us. Something told me that he would do it anyway. T had his ways and I felt like a sitting duck, waiting for disaster to strike.Where was Ronald?What was happening out there?It had been four days since he stormed out after my confession.Was he actually searching for answers or did he go off the rails?I shook my head, rising.“Ronald isn’t like that.” I muttered to myself. “He’ll do what he has to. It’s fine. Everything is fine.”But no matter how much I said it, the pit in my stomach only deepened. Two more days passed and by then I’d studied every crack in the ceiling, every loose floorboard, even that damn leaking in the fau

    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

    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

    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

    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
