"What is it that you want from me? Huh?" He spat, raising his voice. There was a vein in his neck and he was turning red. I've never seen him this upset, I must've really hit a nerve.
His lips were tight but they were so juicy and kissable. "I want...

I'm used to hearing screams and seeing horror in peoples eyes.
I'm used to seeing severed heads.
What I'm not used to and will never be, is seeing Zariah screaming bloody murder as she looks at the head of her deceased father.
She drops to her knees in the grass and breaks down. Her scream could be heard cities away and it broke me. Her cries filled my ears and it's the worse sound I have ever heard, I never want to hear it again. "Nooooooo!" She cries. "Daddyyy!!" She sobs. "No no no no nooooooooo!" She says frantically.
She grabs the head with shaking hands and cries into it. She doesn't care how she looks. She doesn't care about the blood on her dress. She doesn't care about the bystanders running around and stepping on her dress. And she doesn't care about anyone else around her. Winter tries to grab her shoulder to get her up but Zariah pushes her away.
I wanted to console her. Hold her and let her cry in my arms.
I stared at the head in anger. I told his stupid ass to fucking run.
My gaze went to my father and the smirk on his face told me all I needed to know.
My fist balled as I shoved my way through people who was trying to run and I stood face to face with the man responsible for this shit. "What did you do?" I gritted.
"I took care of what you couldn't." He laughed. "Do you think she likes her wedding gift?"
"What is your fucking problem!" I pushed him and he blinked in surprise. "You promised! You said you would leave her alone if I listen to you! Why did you do that?"
"To teach both you and her a lesson because you didn't listen to me. I told you to stay away from her and you didn't. I had a maid spy on you and she saw you leave her room last weeks ago. You didn't listen. I knew you wouldn't kill her father because you didn't have the heart to. So I sent a guard to follow you and sure enough, I was right. You let him go." He shrugs. "So when you left, I had the guard send him to me and I took care it myself. Since you were being too much of a pussy." He spat.
"Y-you... you did this?" Zariah says to him with a shaking breath. "Why? Why would you do this to me?" She sobs.
