“ You killed him , ” Clarissa echoed again , her eyes shooting daggers at me .

I stared at her , totally stunned while my heart hammered against my ribcage trying to process .

her words .

The accusation hit me – stinging deeper than anything I’d ever expected to hear from

her .

“ What ? ” I whispered , hoping my voice was steady enough .

“ How could you … Why would you even say that ? ”

“ Why would I even say that ? ” she repeated with a sneer , closing the distance between us until we were nearly nose to nose .

Her eyes , which were the colour of my father’s shone with anger .

out , you play the victim .

I stared at Clarissa , with my eyes wide open .

For as long as I can remember , my family has seen me as an outsider – a stain on the family’s name .

My presence was tolerated , barely , yet now , after all these years , they dared to accuse me of running away ?

They dared to accuse me of not sympathizing enough with them when I never felt like at daughter .

The accusation ignited resentment that I’d kept hidden for years and I exploded .

“ Running away ? ” I repeated , taking a step towards Clarisa , my tone rising .

“ Yes , I am running away because that’s the only thing I was forced to learn , the only thing I know how to do better .

What else was I supposed to do ? When you all acted like I didn’t exist .

” My fists clenched as I struggled to contain my anger .

“ For four years , Rissa … no one bothered if I was alive or dead .

Now you expect me to feel sympathy over the loss of a man who disowned me ? A man who was ashamed to even call me his daughter ? You think I should mourn him like he was a loving father ? ”

I watched as her face contorted with shock at my outburst , but I couldn’t stop now .
