Chandler's POV
I can't believe what I hear from my Dad. The person whom I love the most; I trust the most; I look up my whole life; that listens and hears me out is the one who is hurting my friends. He's my father, I thought he loves me, he said he loves me but why is he doing this to me? He's hurting my loved ones. "I thought you love me, Dad but it seems you don't. I hate you." I mumbled, pain all throughout my body.
"I really love you, son. I didn't fake my love for you. That's why I am doing this. This is for you. I don't want seeing you in pain, so be still, okay?"
I don't know whether I should believe him or hate him because he's lying. He lied to me. He doesn't love me at all. "I see no love to all of these. If you love me, you'll let us go. What are you doing this for?"
He scowled, "I already told you. I don't want you being in pain. These people hurt you."
"They don't. It's my own choice if I get hurt but Dad--"
"Shut up! You are not supposed to be here, you should not know anything about it, you're destroying my plan! Depart him from them. Make sure he won't ruin anything from my plan."
"Dad..." I don't know what to say anymore. As they moved me to the corner, my heart's being tear apart. I don't know what to believe anymore. Do I really know my father? I told him every happiness, problems and sadness I have, and I really trust him with all my heart but he used it against them.
I took a glimpse at them. Thaddeus is being beaten up. Yejenia's struggling in her chair while crying. And my girlfriend growing weak.
Tears streamed down from my eyes. I can't even do anything for them when I am the one who's to blame. I put them here.
"Remove their covers. And nobody move except if I order something. No intervention. And son, the truth shall set you free. I will always welcome you with open arms. After you hear it all, I will comfort you. I'll help you forget about this day, and forget them all. You'll no longer suffer like me before." My father--should I call him my father? Fathers don't lie to their children. And this guy does, all his words are lies. Why would I no longer suffer? Suffer like him? I am not like him.
"Suffering, my foot. You're the one who makes me suffer."
I saw his face became red in anger and steam came out from his ears. "I won't argue with a foolish man like you. Cover his filthy mouth."
"You are the one who's fooli--" They covered the cloth over my mouth. I stared at them, and they give me a sad look. Tears are forming in their eyes. I am so sorry, I put you here.
"So, there's the main antagonist," Dad started and cut to glare at his men and Thaddeus. "This is him, not my son. For those who brought him here, expect my award later. Perhaps their body?" He annoyingly looked at me this time and laughed. "Just kidding. Ianne?"
"Yes?" Ianne proudly held her head high.
"Don't interfere, okay?" He pointed his lips here and Ianne motioned towards me. She leaned over to kiss me but I moved my head away.
"You're just being embarass. You will eventually get used to it." She giggled and glared at the same time. I glared back, sending my disagreement to her but she just giggled again. You will pay for this.
Then, we are all got startled when Dad clapped his hands aloud. "So many things to do, now my son's also here. Shall I kill you first or set the truth first?"
Ken struggled, trying to attack my father. "Don't do this." She pleaded. And I felt my tears streamed down again. The last thing I want to see is my loved ones in pain.
"Ken..." I sympathetically mumbled, barely audible.
Her feeble body shivered as she looks at me. Her eyes are filled with tears, and as if those eyes want to tell me so many things. "I'm sorry for everything. I'll ask for your apology even what you're about to hear is unforgivable."
I have no idea what she's talking about but somewhere deep in my heart, I know I can always forgive her, I love her. It's myself I can't forgive, because I didn't even know Dad's plan.
"Stop, please stop!" Yejenia screamed. "This is useless!"
"Yes, can't we just deal about this? Don't hurt my friends! Or else I'll kill you." Thaddeus threatened.
Dad just laughed evilly and gestured to his men. Then, Thaddeus was beaten up again until he became weak. "Beat me up as long as you want, just don't hurt them." He weakly requested. Ken and Yejenia wailed. I know how much they hate to see one of us getting hurt. I want to comfort them. I want all of these to stop!
Dad picked one of his men's gun and pointed to them, one by one. "Your threats are useless, you won't make it out alive. You're not armed. There's no way you can kill me. But I could, later. All of you are stupid! Especially you, Dr. Yejenia, you're a doctor but you didn't suspect your co-doctor implementing the euthanasia. Don't you know before? That euthanasia is illegal? And the rest of you also didn't suspect. Euthanasia needs opinions of many doctors, but only one talked to you. Moreover, you were not assigned to your friend, right?" Dad had cut and checked Yejenia's reaction first. Her face got red and steam came out of her ears. "And speaking of your co-doctor, he is stupid, he shouldn't have asked, he should have just killed Ken right away. He was also stupid for agreeing, but you are more stupid, you didn't suspect anything. Fools. He loves his family so much, doesn't he know that most villains break their promise? How brainless. Bring that fool in, along with Edouard."
Then, like my mouth, the door creaked open, and two men stumbled on the ground.
