My dad and entire family were there; I walked in and my dad had a look of relief. He threw his arms around me "Lilianna!" I pulled away "I'm fine, I was with Nick." My dad looked shocked; Oliver entered the room as it came out of my mouth, he frowned but maintained himself. My dad kissed my forehead "Please tell someone where you're going. We thought something happened to you." I shrugged "I'm fine, you can go back to your business."
I went to my room; Oliver followed and shut the door "So Nick?" I grabbed some clothes "You get to sleep around. Why doesn't it apply to me too?" He got mad "I was drunk, but I'm not excusing it because it's wrong." I smirked "Call it even." I grabbed my duffle bag and threw clothes in it, he stopped me "Where are you going?"
I pulled the bag closer to me "With my dad. I'm done pretending everything is so good when any second this place will be shot up too." He looked at me confused "What did he tell you? Lily I need to know now!" I shook my head "I'm just saying. Nothing is happening right now. Geez." He exhaled "So how long have you been talking to him?"
I looked up and rolled my eyes "Oh my gosh, you think I cheated on you when we were together. While I was pregnant? Yes because men find a huge kink in sleeping with a woman pregnant with another man's baby." He shrugged "You'd be surprised." I cringed "I didn't need to know that." He reached for my bag and slid it to him "Who do you love?" I frowned "You know our relationship was for the baby. We wouldn't have anything to do with each other if it wasn't for her."
I could see his heart break "You know that isn't true. You had me telling you I love you and making plans to get married. Our daughter wasn't planned but I did everything to make you happy. You told me to my face that Nick no longer mattered to you and you were past him."
I grabbed my bag "Bullshit, you faked our entire relationship. You have my family fooled of your intentions still but you never had me fooled. I just needed to stay occupied while Nick was away, you were the only one around. Oops. I wasn't careful and got knocked up. Losing her was just luck I guess." He got pissed off "I know damn well you didn't say that." I smirked "You should've left me alone." I threw my duffle bag on my shoulder and went to the living room "I'm ready."
My dad turned "You can't go with me." I adjusted my strap "Who said I was going with you? I'm just not staying here anymore." My dad rubbed his forehead "Where do you expect to go?" I shrugged "Aunt Casey's sounds good." He exhaled "You know you can't go back there."
I walked to the door "Kay, I'll be with Nick then." My dad hollered "Get inside!" I turned to him "I am a grown woman! I don't need to take orders anymore." I dropped the bag in my trunk; Oliver stood in front of the car while my dad attempted to take my bag out of the trunk. I turned to him and full on screamed my lungs "Will you two stop!"
Suddenly Oliver turned to the opposite direction, my dad's head following. I looked up and saw that woman coming toward us from an alleyway. My dad grabbed my arm "Get inside." I snatched my arm back "I'll prove to you I'm stronger than you think I am."
I walked out from the car up to her but Oliver got in my way. The woman pushed him out of my way; I threw a punch at her, she leaned back making me miss, she threw her leg up to kick me in the face but I got out of the way. I exhaled; I threw my leg up kicking her to the ground. I threw my hair back and waited for her to get back up; she grinned and ran at me. My dad jumped in; she looked at him and took off running. I tried to chase her but he grabbed my arm.
I turned to him "I had it!" He dragged me back to the sidewalk "What is wrong with you!" Oliver came up "What the fuck Lily, you have no idea how dangerous that woman is. She kills people at our levels." I rolled my eyes "See what if I was out here alone, I would need to defend myself!" My dad yelled "Get back inside!" I slammed my trunk and went to the driver side "You aren't the boss of me." I got in my car; I locked my doors. Oliver stood in front of my car; I revved and the car pulled forward.
He stayed put, I shift it in park and yelled "I will hit you." He shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms remaining in his place. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw I could back out so I did and sped off. I drove to the casino and waited by the front entrance; I stood outside my car waiting for Nick.
An hour passed, he never showed. It was getting dark so I got back in my car and waited another 30 minutes. I grabbed my phone and called him but it went to voicemail. I sighed "You're such an idiot Lillianna." I drove off and went back to my family. As I pulled up; Oliver and my dad were outside and turned to my direction. I got out and walked up to them "I'm sorry." Oliver stood up and went inside "Goodnight."
My dad sat on the wall "So where's Nick?" I shrugged "Ditched me." My dad knew something, I could tell how he was acting "What's going on?" He cleared his throat "He was arrested." I got upset "For what?" He sighed "He's a wanted man. This city didn't do him much being here. Not the first time he's been caught here."
I glared at him "What does that mean?" He cleared his throat "It means if you care about him. Tell him to stay out of this country and to quit coming here if he doesn't want to get caught." I scoffed "You called on him didn't you?" He shook his head "I'm no snitch." I rolled my eyes "Then I will be going with him." He shook up and crossed his arms "You had Oliver, what happened to that? Why Nick again?" I shrugged "Because it was always about Nick. Oliver was here while Nick was away."
He stared at me "Do you think it's time to let that go? That stunt earlier today could've easily been your last. I don't want him having you getting thoughts thinking you need to fight." I faked a laugh "I did that on my own free will, no one forced me to prove myself but I'm stronger than you think I am."
He nodded "I know that but you also are still learning your strengths. There was no way you could fight that woman and win. She would've had you captured or dead." I asked "Who is she?" He looked away "I don't know. I've spent years trying to figure it out." I looked down "She helped Hunter and I the other day." He looked surprised "When was this?" I shrugged "2 days ago. When we had that surprise attack."
He exhaled "That woman. I thought your brother meant another. Go to bed it's late. We'll talk tomorrow." I hugged him "Love you dad." I went inside and looked at Oliver as I passed but didn't say anything. What was there to say. He moved on so why couldn't I?
