Chapter 138: Out of Control
"I can see you are not your father, Bambi. I see it more and more clearly," Logan said.
Marcella looked at him. There wasn’t even a trace of admiration on his face. If he was someone who wanted the best for her and treated her as the daughter of someone he respected, he wouldn’t be looking at her with abhorrence.
THIS!!
This look was exactly why she didn’t want to stay with her father anymore. This look from others was why she left. It hurt.
No matter what she did or does, people from the past are going to look at her this way. She can give up and take on the mantle her father left. It wouldn’t be hard for her to take her father’s place. It wouldn’t be hard for her to reach the place her father did. Thanks to his name and his blood in her, she could do it within a year.
BUT!!!
She left that life for a reason. She respected her father more than anything. Still, she didn’t want to become her father. Her father didn’t want for her to turn out like him. Tony told her that much. She believed him.
Marcella wanted to bow her head in shame. Her habit of cowering when someone mentioned her father in a bad light for the past ten years forced her to bow. But she held her head high.
She will not bow down for who she was.
She decided to make it her habit to hold her head high. She is Tony’s wife. She didn’t do anything wrong. She tried to help others. Her plan was working. Even if her plan went wrong, she had Tony by her side. He would never blame her. He would blame her only if she gives up halfway.
