Assassin [18+]

Forgetting

§Morgana Acampora§

"I thought you didn't care for me," I softly said as Eros placed down a cup of tea in front of me. "I mean sometimes you showed me you wanted to care but in the end you didn't show it..."

My father frowned deeply "Morgana it was never because I didn't love you but because I had to."

There's no need to not let my father explain because it's what I've wanted since I can remember. I need to know everything, as much as it might hurt me.

"Please explain everything to me, dad."

A deep sigh left his mouth "I don't know if you—"

"I want to hear it, dad," I straightened on my seat "I need to hear it. You have no idea everything I've been through whilst whatever happened with my mother was happening," my index traced the handle of the cup as my eyes filled with tears. "I want to know why I was pushed aside instead of being loved like Nick was," our eyes locked. "He raped me," the tears poured down my cheeks and my dad looked horrified "he raped me from the age of five and no one in that house ever noticed. No one!" I slammed my hand on the table. "I wet my bed, had nightmares and sleeping problems; I've led an unhealthy sex life for years because I've been looking for someone who gives me what it was never given to me in that house!"

From the corner of my eye I caught Cristian and Eros exiting the house.

My father's eyes filled with tears as he got up on his feet to then kneel beside my chair "Please forgive me, Moragana," he took my hands to kiss them. "Your mother threatened to kill you if I ever gave you the love and attention I so desperately wanted to give you," when his eyes met mine I could see the repentance, the sorrow and pain.

A frown appeared upon my face due to the confession "Why would she do that? Why would she want me to feel unloved and isolated? Why doesn't she love me, dad? I've done everything in my power for her to love me..."

He caressed the back of my hands "She never wanted to have you, Morgana...she tried to have an abortion and then even tried to stab her stomach, but she refused to feel any pain so I bribed her so I could have you all to my own," a light smile curved his lips. "I dreamt of giving you the world and giving you all my love but your mother said the only way she would have you was if we married and I provided for her forever, then when she had you she found a new way to get everything she wanted from me and that was by constantly threatening your life."

"What about Nick? Did you really not know about what he did to me?" I wiped my tears away.

"No, princess, this is the first time I've heard about it and now that I know, something needs to be done—"

"I want him dead," I stated. "He's a despicable human being who rejoiced in making me suffer; he made me feel utterly disgusting for the majority of my life and I don't want him alive anymore, dad."

This must be hard for him; as bad as he is, Nick is still my father's first born and only son so I would understand if he were against my wishes.

"Kill him then; he doesn't mean anything to me. He might be my blood but he deserves to be punished for what he has done to you," his lips pecked the back of my hands. "All I care about is you and I want to dedicate the rest of my life to making it up to you."

Punished? Now that he has said it like that, I think Nick could pay his debts in a far worse way than death.

"What if I decide not to kill him but to send him to a place where he will be punished? Will you still want a relationship with the woman who will send your son to hell on earth?"
