Chapter 617
Hamilton’s words were like an emotional grenade, detonating without warning and leaving shockwaves in their path.
Not only did Frederic’s face look like it had taken a hit, but I bet even a fly buzzing by would have swelled up from the blast. Only his dad knew how to handle this black sheep of the family,
Glynnis shrunk behind Frederic like a quail in hiding, too scared to even show her face.
Evadne hurried over, her voice soft and soothing, “Marilla, honey, don’t be scared. I’m here, your brother and granddad are here
too.”
Marilla lifted her tear–stained face from Jareth’s embrace; her cheeks were swollen as if soaked by the moon’s glow, dampening his shirt with her tears.
“Evadne.”
That term of endearment brought a swell of emotion to Evadne’s eyes, a numbing pain to her heart.
Marilla, choking back sobs, clung to Jareth’s shirt, her delicate hands gripping tight, “I don’t want to be apart from Jareth.”
In that moment, Jareth felt a sharp pain in his chest, pulling her in closer as if to crush her into his being, “We won’t be apart, Marilla, no matter what happens, I won’t leave you,”
Evadne stood speechless, her heart brimming with empathy.
In Marilla, she saw her own past self- the one who had been locked away at home by Emeric, the one who had leapt from her window on a stormy night, frantic to find Thaddeus.
She too had been held in his arms, insisting over and over that she couldn’t bear to be apart from him.
But she had been luckier than Marilla.
Emeric was all bark and no bite, his harsh words belied a tenderness and a willingness to compromise for the love of his daughter.
But Frederic was different. Self–serving and cold–hearted, how could he truly have Marilla’s best interests at heart?
To him, his reputation and the Abernathy family’s interests trumped everything, even family ties.
“I’m not going to waste my breath on you, boy, because you’ve never understood a word I’ve said! I came here today to back these young lovebirds!” Hamilton’s gaze was steely as he stared down Frederic, “Didn’t you just say you’d rather die than agree to this match? Well, go ahead and die then.”
“Dad! What are you saying?”
Frederic was fuming, his eyes bloodshot with anger, his words almost laughable, “Why should I die?”
“Yeah, why should a man like you die? Especially since you’re the esteemed chairman of the Abernathy Group. You’ve just managed to push me into retirement; you wouldn’t want to die now, would you?”
Hamilton let out a bitter chuckle, “Since you don’t want to die, stop threatening the younger generation with such nonsense! Jareth respects you for Marilla and Thaddeus‘ sake, but you’re acting as if you’re the center of attention. Using your own life as a bargaining chip, my face is red with embarrassment because of you!”
Frederic felt dizzy, his hand gripping the stair’s railing, veins bulging with tension.
