Chapter 64

Blake stops then shifts his attention to me. He sees how mad I am, how I glare at him inwarning. “Blake.” I warned, furious that he was the one who told my parents about that godawful day.

He didn’t have the right. I was not ready.

“I can’t keep quiet about this baby. This is a serious issue that we need to deal with rightnow. I can deal with your anger later but right now, we need to replace out who's been doingthis.” He grumbles and tears his eyes away from me to look at my dad.

I kept quiet knowing that whatever I tell him now wouldn't matter. He was determined to letmy parents know about what transpired between Peter and I. I knew he had good intentionsbut I couldn't help feel anger that he hadn't asked me first.

“It happened sometime about two months ago. Ashley stayed back to research something inthe library. I had been waiting for her outside, she was taking long in there.Too long. So Iwent to look for her, only to hear her piercing scream.” He breathes out as if rememberingthe awful day.

“The scream still haunts me to this day.”

I stiffen knowing he was about to tell them what I dreaded. My hands felt cold, blood leavingmy face. I could hear my own heartbeat in my ears, the rythm uncontrollable.

The image of Peter pinning me to the desk as his hands traveled up my thigh comes in mymind. Sweat coated my palms, they became itchy. Itching to hit something.

That is when I realized that even though I tried so many ways to forget that awful day ofbeing helpless, I was still not completely over it. I tried so hard, boxing, spending time withBlake, focusing on college. But it didn’t help. Somehow Peter still had a hold on me.

His voice is now edgy, on the verge of breaking down. “I followed her cry for help.” Hegulped, his eyes flickering to me for a tiny second. “When I got there I found the bastardforcing himself on her.”

I realize that I wasn't the only one affected from this experience. Blake was too and I nevernoticed it.

Mom gasp in shock, her teary eyes snapping to me. “Oh my baby.” She cried leaving dad'sside to come over to me.

Pulls me in a hug and cries on my shoulder. Why do I feel so numb?

I feel my heart squeeze and gulp the lump forming in my throat. “I'm so sorry this happenedto you.” She cries pulling me tighter to her. This is what I avoided. This pain that we all arefeeling at this moment.

“Mom.” I whispered and let myself go as I hugged her back. I feel it, the relief as I pour myeyes out and use her as an anchor.

“Who is that bastard!” Dad roars. He had stayed silent when Blake finished talking but nowhe had absorbed the words and he was beyond furious.

“Peter William.” Blake responds, disdain dripping in his voice as he literally spits out thename like it brought a bad taste to his mouth.

“As in Kain William's son?” Dad questions. “The man who owns the restaurant downtown?”“Yes that’s him alright.” Blake responds.

It wouldn“t take a genius to know that dad was beyond enraged. You could literally feel thetension in the air, crackling like fire on burning wood.

Mom and I pull away, knowing that a storm was brewing. “Did he have time, you know.” Youcould hear the fear in his voice, the anxiety of knowing the answer.

Blake shakes his head. “Thankfully I had reached in time.”

Dad visibly breathes out a sigh of relief. He nods then walks towards the door, grabbing hiscar keys on the way. Everyone is confused until he grips Arden’s wooden baseball bat thatwas beside the door.

“Honey, where are you going?” Mom questions equally as confused as all of us in the room.He doesn’t turn around to answer her, instead he opens the door. “I'm going to pay Kain andhis son a visit.”

My heart drums in my ears. This was not good. When angered dad could be veryintimidating. This is why boys usually stayed away from me other than the three

boys breathing down my neck. And that was Blake, Ryan and Arden. They never let any guyclose to me.

Mom leaves my side to rush to dad's. “Asher you can’t just go there are you crazy!” Shehissed following down the steps after him. “They could call the cops, you have a baseball batfor christ sake!”

“Baby I'm only going to pay him a visit.” His tone is deathly. There was no way he would justpay them a visit. Dad was out for blood.

I rush towards them feeling Blake following after me. “Dad please listen to mom.” I pleadedrunning up to catch them. They were already beside his car. I was afraid our neighborswould notice the commotion, they were already so nosy.

Dad doesn’t listen, instead he walks around the car to the driver's side and enters, placingthe bat at the back. My eyes widen knowing he was not bluffing. I turn around to face Blakeand glared. “Stop him.”

Blake tears his eyes away from me and stares at my dad. “Honestly Ley, I'm a hundredpercent with him on this.”

I narrow my eyes into slits of rage. “I can’t believe you right now!” I scowled.

Seeing that no matter how much she tried to talk him out of it, he still was hell bent ongoing so mom decided to get into the car. Dad drives off leaving me staring at the fastdisappearing car. I was beyond shocked.

What the hell just happened?
