I woke up, snuggled in Nate's chest, his chest heaving up and down, I loved it.

I slowly got up, but his grip around my waist, pulled me back in. I smiled, and wrapped my legs around his waist, "Come on, get up" I whined. Nate only, nodded, but turned the other way, but sadly his phone rang, I was about to go get it, when he quickly held me back, and picked up.

"Hello? Now! Are you serious, look right now is not the ti-" the other line seemed to cut him off, Nate looked at me, and I rubbed his back, and smiled, "Alright, I'm coming" his deep voice said, as he hit his lip. My smile turned into a sad frown, I was worried this would happen, Nate would become super busy, ignore me, and dump me. I sighed and wrapped myself in the blanket, not facing Nate.

"Thea, this is important, I promise I'll come back" he kissed my temple and left without a goodbye, or 'have a good day', I rolled my eyes, "Thea this is important, I'll promise I'll come back" I rolled my eyes, mimicking Nate's voice.

I was so angry, I don't know why, but I was just enjoying my time with Nate, and his stupid phone had to ring, and worst of all, he actually picked up! Stupid Nate!

I don't even know why I'm mad, it's not my business. I felt like I was being clingy, always wanting to be with him, literally wanting him to be at least touching me so I knew I was safe with him. I laid in bed, tears threatening to come out, but I sucked it in, and fell back to sleep. I don't need Nate right now.

Nate

I hated Lenny for calling me, it was peaceful, especially when Thea's hand grazed over my body. I clenched my jaw, as I walked to the old abandoned warehouse, Lenny told me to meet him.

I saw him leaning against the cement wall, twirling his gun on his finger, "Look, Lenny I swear if this isn't serious-" he cut me off, by pointing the gun at me, I smirked. I knew Lenny wouldn't do jack shit to me. But something in his eyes were telling me something, or someone was here.

Someone was here listening to us, getting prepared to attack at any moment.

"Come out, no need to hide" I said, as my voice echoed through the building, then I heard a familiar voice, his chuckled was dark and deep.

"Well, well, well, I haven't seen you since you were what? Seventeen?, geez, wasn't it fun, killing them?" He taunted and let out a disgusting, malicious laugh. Lenny, stood beside me. I knew this guy since I was sixteen, he did some business with my father, but they had an argument, and broke off their friendship.

"So? How's Thea? Has she grown up to be a beautiful young lady like her mother?", his statement made my blood cold. How did he know Thea?.

I quickly grabbed Lenny's gun, and pointed at the old man, wearing a suit, his greying hair clearly visible, and wrinkles on his forehead creased, as he smiled.

"Now now, put that thing down, boy" he said, as he showed his pearly white teeth, "how the fuck do you know her?" I said through gritted teeth.

He stood there, still smiling.

"Tell me now Malcom!" I finally yelled out.

Malcom, chuckled, "why wouldn't I know my own daughter?" He sadistically said.

Daughter?!

My stomach dropped, Malcom, Malcom Herwok!?, how could've I been so thick? His last name, Althea Herwok. Malcom was her father. When he first met my father he said he needed money for his family, but he betrayed my father and ran off. No wonder.

I lowered the gun, "So you're her disgusting run away father huh?" I said, itching to slit his throat, and stab all his organs out. I smiled at the thought.

"Now before you start thinking about killing me, you need to not kill her" he said, smirking, my eyes widened, and I could feel Lenny tense up beside me. How did he know I was going to kill her?

Malcom chuckled once again, "come on! You think I wouldn't know? Pathetic boy, my wife is a psychologist, she taught me everything, and anything about the human mind" he stepped closer.

I really wanted to tell him that his wife was in a hospital bed, connected to a machine that kept her alive, I wanted to see Malcom in misery, for what he did to my father, and what he did to Thea and her mother. But I didn't.

"You still love her" I said, stepping closer as well. Malcom stopped in his tracks, his face softened.

"Do me a favour, and leave them alone, I'll pay you, whatever money you want" he said, and I scoffed.

"Malcom, you really think you could bribe me? All I want is to see your daughters throat slit, by me, and only me" I paused, and smirked, "oh, how her lips taste, and how her body grazes against mine, her sweet voice calling for me, her touch on my skin-" I pushed his limits.

"Enough!", Malcom yelled, and pulled out a shot gun, it was aimed at my forehead. I wasn't fazed at all, I've been in many situations like this, I got tired of worrying about me.

"What are you going to do? Shoot me" I laughed, Malcom's jaw clenched, and his hand was shakey. "Sooner or later, she'll be with me again, and she'll know about you, she'll know what you did, and what you are" he whispered, and that was it, he made me want to kill him.

I punched his jaw.

"You talk too much, I don't care if she knows, all I want is her to be dead, or broken" I spat at him, and walked off, with Lenny. I am going to make sure Thea is safe, away from him. And away from me.

•••

Shocker! Malcom is Thea's dad!
