Chapter 13: Bella - Martin

Martin

My father's goons restrained me while they tried to search me. I gave up because I knew it was pointless to fight. Knowing that I'd be better off remaining calm. Despite the fact that my father was duplicitous, I didn't even believe he'd ever hurt me. He was overly proud, and I was a part of it because I was a part of his legacy. The way I composed myself, how I took a stand to him, would represent him.

Even though he had me physically at his mercy, I couldn't let him beat me. Surprisingly, I discovered that I wanted to master him even more. I wanted to demonstrate him that he really can not control me. That I'd managed to learn how to be a man by being the total opposite of him, and that I didn't have to intimidate or insult people to be a man.

"He's clean, Mr. Metzger," said the goon.
