"I'm just tired," I said to no one in particular. "No more lies. Tell me when you found out I saw Melody Vincent's daughter." Anthony looked at me curiously.
"I knew all along that you were Melody Vincent's daughter. I knew Cain Vincent was your father. He faked his death so that he could exploit his property and take over his business." He grabbed one of my shoulders and I flinched back. My wrists hurt badly. The emotional turmoil was sucking my life out.
"What else did you know?" I asked him.
"I had known that I'd have to earn your trust. Everything about you is like your mother. The determination in your eyes... I remember seeing it in hers, too. I knew I had to lure you in. You were a good investment. Your parents had left a mark in the business. I knew that people would go to great heights to have you."
