Semua Bab A Father's Wrath: Bab 1 - Bab 10

It felt like someone grabbed my heart and squeezed. The suffocating pain made my vision blur black at the edges."Ginny! Daddy's here! Wake up!"I screamed until my throat tore, snatching up a brick from the ground and slamming it against the driver-side window.A loud crack split the air. Spider web fractures spread across the glass.The moment she saw me smashing the window, Shanon's shrill voice pierced the air."Leomund! Have you lost your mind?"I ignored her and swung harder. I swung a total of three times.Suddenly, a slick-haired man rushed over and grabbed my arm tightly, his voice trembling."Stop! Stop smashing it! Come on, man! Do you know how expensive this car is? If you break it, can you even afford to pay for it?"It was Shanon's influencer boyfriend, Tobias Hunt.My eyes were bloodshot. I grabbed his collar and growled through clenched teeth, "If anything happens to my daughter, you won't be able to pay for it either."Then I drove my fist straight into his

I opened Shanon's latest livestream.She was crying hysterically."When Ginny was trapped in the car, I already called the police! If you don't believe me, I have the call record right here! My ex-husband ignored the fact that Ginny was unconscious and tried to snatch her away!""He just wants custody back so he can demand a huge amount of child support from me! He's always had violent tendencies! He used to abuse me! I'm worried about Ginny. My Ginny.""Don't believe me? Listen to this!"She pulled out her phone and played an audio clip.It was clearly edited.In the recording, my voice said, "You still want to take Ginny back? Fine. Give me money! Otherwise I won't let this go! Give me custody of Ginny! I'll earn the money myself!"…After watching her video, my head buzzed.Almost at the same time, someone online clipped footage from the livestream of me smashing the car window and shouting at Shanon and Tobias.Some people commented on the clip."I think there's more to

On the day of the hearing, the moment Shanon walked into the courtroom, she burst into tears, making it look as if I were the unforgivable villain.She sobbed about how I snatched her child and how I subjected her to emotional and physical torment. At the height of her performance, she even took out a handkerchief and delicately dabbed at tears that didn't exist.Watching her act made me sick.When Larry presented the photos of Ginny's injuries, Shanon immediately shot to her feet like a cat whose tail stepped on and pointed at me."Leomund! You fiend! She's your daughter! How could you hurt her like that?"Her scream was so dramatic that it tore through the courtroom. The gallery erupted instantly, with murmurs and insults flying everywhere. The judge had to bang the gavel repeatedly to restore order."Silence!" the judge barked. "Defendant, remain calm. You will speak when addressed."I forced myself to stay composed. I stared at Shanon coldly and asked, word by word."Are

I was about to chase after them when an officer grabbed me."Mr. Herbert, don't panic. They're fugitives now. With this many surveillance cameras, they won't get far. We've already alerted the airport and all major transportation hubs. The little girl will be found."The police recorded Tobias's license plate number and brought me back to the station.Time crawled. Every second felt like torture.I kept refreshing my phone, desperate for any news about Ginny. Even a single photo would have been enough.I did not know how much time passed before a young officer finally rushed in."Mr. Herbert, we've tracked their location through the city surveillance system. They're near the most remote airport in Arguso!"The airport?Were they trying to flee the country with her?"Go! Hurry!" I shot to my feet, my heart pounding in my throat.The police cars sped toward the airport, sirens blaring. My pulse rose and fell with every wail of the siren.But when we arrived, all we found was t

Ginny's tiny body dangled from Tobias's grip, swaying in midair.My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my throat.An officer shouted into his radio, "Team below! Get the safety cushion ready!"I yelled at Tobias, my voice shaking with desperation."Don't! Isn't this what you wanted? You wanted me to confess and withdraw the lawsuit? I'll do it! Just let my daughter go!"Tobias burst into arrogant laughter, his voice thick with malice."Bullshit! You jump first! Jump off the building, and I'll spare her!"The officer beside me grabbed me tightly, but I shoved him away and stepped toward the edge of the rooftop.I've made up my mind."I will. Just let her go."Tobias froze for a moment. He probably did not expect me to go that far for Ginny.In that split second, Shanon lunged forward and grabbed Ginny's leg.Tobias was already standing at the very edge. His footing slipped.He screamed as his body tilted backward."Ahhh!"A few seconds later, a dull, heavy thud e
