Chapter Text
Rain falling against the windowpane, there was a sudden roar of lightning that light the dimly lit room- the sudden hint of thunder cracking against the midnight sky. I caught a glimpse of him as he stood in the middle of my kitchen. The man I so desperately tried to get away from for years was now staring me down. His hard gaze made me tremble but, I stood my ground. He took a couple of steps toward me, smirking as I grabbed the knife that sat on the counter and held it in front of me for protection. His eyes fell to the knife and back to my face as a cool smile graced his features.
I wanted nothing more to do with him and I definitely did not want my daughters anywhere near this man they would’ve called ‘Dad’ if the situation was any different. His hand reach to unbuttoned his suit jacket, pulling it off and setting it on the kitchen table as he played with his cufflinks. Taking a few strides forward, I pace myself backward and eventually hitting the cold surface of the counter.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Shouting- the thunder and lightning strikes as if it was directly on cue. The small light illuminating his face as I see him smiling menacingly.
“You know why I’m here Liana.”
My upper lip curls upward as my grip tightens on the knife, shaking my head. I flipped the knife with the edge now facing downward- ready for me to strike at any given moment.
I did not want him near my daughters.
“Now, now my love… Don’t be like that,” He held his hand over his heart as he watched me closely before rolling his sleeves up. “I want to see OUR daughters… You’ve kept them away from me long enough,” He smirks, turning away as if he was getting ready to walk towards their room. “I’m sure they’ve blossomed into such beautiful wo-”
His back is completely turned as I charge into him. Grinding my teeth together, I pressed the knife into his back as I pulled his arm behind his back.
“You so much as lay a fucking finger on them and I’ll kill you dead.”
The knife pierced through his vest, grazing his skin as I eased it into passed his shirt, the blood slowly spreading against it. I barely cut him- seeing him smirk at this fact. I gripped his arm tighter as I pressed deeper.
“Still can’t even kill me I see…” He lets out a hearty chuckle as his voice boomed through the thunder filled room until silence fell once more. I stood on my toes, my lips pressed to his ear as I whispered into his ear.
“You’re not so untouchable now are you?”
“Damn…” It barely slipping his lips as a whisper as he pulled his arm from my grip- walking away with ease as he raises his hand shaking it, “You should always be this bold… It’s sexy as hell.”
I looked down at the blood stained knife for a split second, not realizing that he walked in the direction of my daughter’s room. He was gone.
“Shit! No…”
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me- slamming the door open but, thankfully it did nothing to wake them and he was nowhere to be found. They were sleeping peacefully and I let out the sigh that I didn’t know that I was holding in.
They were okay.
But, where is he?
