We're sitting by the fire place, my nerves getting the best of me . I just want the truth 

"I'm ready to talk" still staring at the flames

I could feel my emotions starting to act up, deep breaths cade, deep breaths

"What happen?"

I was so out of it that night I didn't fully listen to what victor said and all I heard was that Silas was my father and he took me and poppy when we were kids.

Poppy my baby, she must be worried sick

"I promised him the position as an enforcer in my mafia chain of command but then I found out what he was doing, he was stealing money from me and some of our alliances. he has a drug addiction. I knew that but I still kept him around he knew too much but I couldn't just kill him, he was too loyal to me and that blinded me from seeing what he was doing.

Christian came to me a few months after you turned 2 and told me what he did and I offered him the position instead. Victor must have heard our conversation and a few days later, we were returning from the hospital where Catherine was born, we were in an accident, your mother was pregnant at the time with aria. He faked your death so good that the body looked just like you, I was devasted your mother went to labor the day after the crashed I almost lost them as well it was too much stress on her that she went into a coma for a few weeks. 

I lost my first child and almost lost my wife and my other daughter just a couple hours apart. the time of your funeral he and Cassy came to wish us their fucking condolences. he started acting strange after that, I couldn't rest until I find out who did this , everything was covered up so good, no trace left behind, I've been searching for clues for almost 2 years and nothing. 

I wanted to give you justice, revenge anything. I felt like I failed you all these years. Then the war came and a lot of blood shed I became one of the kings of the underworld I unleased everything on those who dared cross me.

I was gone, I felt nothing. You were my first chance at peace and that son of a bitch took you away. You were right under my nose all these years and I didn't even know it. He left and started his own mafia, I was pissed but he caused no problems so I let him go"

Looking at him with teary eyes

I fall apart

"H-he wa-as t-the devil"

Sobbing into my hand, he reached and pull me on to his lap, I burry my face into his neck, he squeezes me tight, rocking us slowly.

"It's okay little one, I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you"

"H-he did things to me, I w-wanted to end it all. it was so b-ad" I start hyperventilating as the images of what he did to me when I was a kid

Squeezing me tighter

"Breathe baby breathe, daddy's got you now. Just please breathe"

It takes me a while to calm down, gripping his shirt tighter, I feel so vulnerable

"Tell me what happen?" his voice cracks at the end

Warning this part maybe disturbing

Read at your own risk

It has abuse of a minor and torture

"The first few months was bad, he'd hit me so I'll behave, he'd scream at me for doing literally nothing, mentally abuse me. Aunty Cassy would come and take me to her room where she'll attend to my bruises. As I got older it got worse, when I was ten, I accidently broke his vase, because he never let me out of the house except with aunty Cassy. 

He beaten me to the point where I was coughing up blood, he took my hands and slice them, I screamed and screamed begging him to stop and that I was sorry. He never stopped.

He said that this was my punishment for what the devil did to him, he dragged me to the closet where he'd lock me up for days, leaving me hungry. he didn't care about me. Aunt Cassy used to sneak food for me but it wasn't enough. 

When I turned 12, I got bigger, stronger or so I taught, I was sneaking out to meet my girl one night and he was home, I got caught he dragged me to the basement and whipped me so much that I blacked out from the pain, I was out for a few days. 

Then when I turned 15, I started or forced to train to take over his mafia when I turn 18 and that was hell as well , I had to train twice as hard or else I'll be whipped. When I turned 17 I was going to run away with my girl but he got to her first and manipulated her into leaving me, that pushed me over, I wanted to end my life, she's the best thing that ever happened to me, she's my safe place without her I wouldn't be here. 

After I took over Cassy begged my not to kill him and I didn't , I gave him a good beating every chance I get but that still wasn't enough . When I found out what he did to poppy I brought him so close to his death multiple times and it still wasn't enough. 

So I had everyone who he'd wrong take there turn with him , until aunty Cassy dropped the news about her husband being alive and well here we are"

Taking a deep breath, I feel something wet on my fore head and cheeks ,looking up at Silas, he has his eyes closed with tears running down his face.

"I-It's all my fault, I should of look harder for you. I failed you as a father, failed to protect you from the evil."

No dad, it isn't

Burring my face in his neck, squeezing him tighter "It isn't your fault nor mines, Dad I just want to move on it's hurts but I really want to know my real family."

He squeezes me tighter

"Y-you just called me Dad"

Looking up at him , raising an eye brow

"You are my real dad right"

Smiling he kisses my forehead

"Yeah baby, I'm your real dad"

His hug makes me feel safe, the little child in me is as peace now she feels safe and I feel safe with Silas here. 

I'm not ready to meet my mom and my sister yet but mostly I need to heal and get back to poppy.
