Chapter Twenty-Four

‘Scarlett, you are not thinking this through’. Stryker protested.

‘Is that our father’s influence talking or my brother’s?’. I snapped, annoyed.

I had talked to my brother and told him what I had in mind to do about meeting our father.

‘He could never understand commitment or love, being marked would mean nothing to him’. He snapped back at me.

Dante looked over at us and frowned.

‘Scar, you are being unreasonable’.

I scoffed in response.

It was then it hit me.. Dante usually spoke out about my father being cruel and how we needed to put him in his place, soon.

Had Oliver threatened them?

‘How long have you been working for Oliver?’. I snapped angrily at my brother.

He stared at me, then Dante and frowned.

He did not even deny it.. Dante just ran out of the Living Room of his Apartment and into his Bedroom.

‘If I did not watch and report things, he would have killed Allie and Lacey by now.. and that would just be to scare you and Leonard’. He sighed.
