Chapter 74

MIRO

As I rode to my father's mansion, my phone buzzed and I switched to bluetooth.

"Yes"

"Where are you?" came my brother's voice.

MIRO

As I rode to my father's mansion, my phone buzzed and I switched to bluetooth.

"Yes"

"Where are you?" came my brother's voice.

"En route to Dad's house." I replied.

"You good?"

"Yeah." I lied.

Theon audibly sighed. "I'll keep your food in the microwave."

Our call ended and an hour later, I arrived at my father's place. When I entered, I found him in the dining room sitting alone

at the head of a long banquet table. Sometimes, I wonder what it would have been like if my father wasn't a monster. Would we have gathered round this table like a family, chatting away happily?

I wonder what being a happy family feels like.

My father raised his head, saw me and waved me over. I bowed before taking a seat at his right hand, suddenly wary of the excitement in his demeanor.

I met him eating his special 'diet' and had to force myself to refrain from wrinkling up my nose at the smell of blood. My father signaled to the servants standing by and just as I feared, they brought my own dish. This time, it was a large bloody heart.

I stared at the atrocity and found no appetite to eat. Then I felt my father's eyes on me.

"What's the matter?" He asked in a rough tone.

"Nothing wrong. Father." I answered, slowly taking my fork and knife. I felt his eyes on me, as I cut into the flesh and slowly brought it to my mouth.

It tasted the same as usual but I was not the same person anymore. The man who used to gobble it all up was eager to impress and seek the good graces of his father. Now? I still want him to treat me like a son but I am no longer in a rush for his affection

Not when I just learnt that it's gradually costing me my life.

"I don't think your brother can get the revenge your sister deserves." My father suddenly commented, grabbing my attention. "I will take him off the Dominic case."

I stopped chewing and stared at him. "But Theon is more than capable of finding Dominic and bringing him to justice

My father gave me a look. "You sure about that?" He asked with a grimace. "He seriously injured my Beta just because of a girl he's obsessed with. Does that sound like someone who is focused enough for the task at hand."

I wanted to answer that it sounds like someone who is determined to protect what he cares about but then my father would probe me about my statement and I'm just not in the mood for that. Instead, I swallowed, dreading another bite. But it seems my father is right. Theo "Tell you what." My father said and I looked at him. "I will give you a chance to redeem yourself with me
