Chapter 188: Broken lies
Her father’s voice broke through the heavy silence. "My brother was the hidden weapon of my father. Not many people knew we were twins and we used it to our advantage climbing to the top.
Even my children found out accidentally and I didn’t hide it from them anymore.
Carlos sighed, "My brother loved my wife. Her death broke him more than me. He wanted revenge, demanded we get revenge. Matthew, Damien’s dad ordered the hit on her after our investigation we found out.
But I just lost the love of my life. I didn’t want some stupid revenge at that moment. My children needed me the most. I was so lost in my own sadness bubble that I didn’t know what he was doing. When I found out it was too late."
Beatrix stared at her father in shock. "We had an argument about this. I told him to let you go but he refused. I was disgusted and disappointed. When did my brother turn into such a monster?"
Carlos chuckled mirthless, "I mean...I knew he was but to do such a thing...was beyond sick. We got into a fist fight and out of anger I shot him. I killed my own brother—-in order to save you—-the son of the devil who killed my wife."
Rhys clenched his fist, Beatrix could see he was trying to process all of this. This turn of events.
"When I walked inside the basement and heard your soft cry for help my heart broke into a million pieces. I’m a father. I will never wish this even on my worst enemy. Your pretty blue eyes are something I will never forget. The pain, the sadness, the anger is something that has haunted me forever.
Have you ever asked yourself how you got back? You’re never curious about how Damien found you in your backyard?"
