Chapter 45: Moving In

Achilles' Point of View:

"Take a step toward her if you dare, and then we'll see," I said with a bold voice and looked at the man standing in front of me.

He was a little taller, a bit more muscular and a tad more intimidating than me, but he was also the bad guy. Bad guys don't win.

He stared at me for a few minutes, trying to see if I'd back down and give up, but there was no going back. I stared back with an equally powerful gaze and he finally retreated as he looked away.

"I don't want a fight," He said, "I just wanted to talk to my daughter." If I didn't know any better, I would have believed his convincing words in a heartbeat. He really did sound as if he was genuinely concerned for her, but people don't change.

"Well, she doesn't want to talk to you so better get going." I replied back in a stone-cold tone.
