Xavier's POV

                            "Have I lost?"

Finally after many years, I hold their lives in my hands, getting the ultimate revenge I'm seeking these past years, but I'm not yet satisfied.

"Is this all you can, dear sister? and how about you father? oh whatever! I won anyway, there's no place for you to go now that I finally got your lives in my hands" I'm still thinking of satisfying way to get rid of them, but I need to hurry before those dogs out there find us here.

"Screw you!!! do whatever you want to do already! before I get up and beat the shit out of you!! you'll regret this, you definitely regret--Aaargh!! is that all you can bastard??!!! fight me fairly--fuck!! hahaha" She pissed me off so I hit her face using the gun twice.

"Enough already," my father spoke suddenly, his tone eerily calm, almost... bored. "Do you really think you've won?"

I stiffened. Something about the way he said that sent a chill down my spine.

"I'm getting tired of pretending," he continued. "Stop this nonsense and surrender before I decide to end it myself."

I clenched my jaw, confusion creeping in.

"I don't get it," he mused, chuckling darkly. "Why did I even let you shoot me twice? Strange, isn't it? Hahaha... Damn it."

His laughter grated on my nerves, mocking me. I hated this man with every fiber of my being.

"Shut the fuck up, you animal!" Richard snarled beside me, striking my father with his gun. But the bastard only laughed again before adjusting his suit like nothing happened.

"That hurt, huh?" he smirked. "But come on, boys. Enough of this. I told you-I'm done playing."

And just like that, his entire demeanor shifted. The air grew heavier, his dark aura suffocating. For the first time in years, I felt something I thought I had long buried-fear.

"I said shut the fuck up!!" Richard barked, gripping his gun tighter. "We're not afraid of you! You're going to die tonight!"

But my father simply grinned, an unsettling expression stretching across his face.

"Enough, Xavier," he said. "Let your sister and that woman go. If you do, I might reconsider my decision."

"Says who?!" I snapped, rage boiling in my veins. "You think I'd fucking listen to you?! You really care about your precious daughter, huh? That's hilarious."

I hit my sister again, just to spite him.

I was so sick of people flaunting their love for their family right in front of me. It was disgusting.

"I said enough!" His voice sharpened, and my entire body tensed. "I'm out of patience. Did you really think I wouldn't find out who's been pestering me lately? You're still that same weak and foolish child from before, Xavier."

His words rattled me, but I refused to let it show.

"Of course, I was shocked to learn you were alive," he continued, his smirk widening. "So I had my men dig deeper into you. Guess what I found out? HAHAHAHA."

A cold dread crawled up my spine.

"You already know what I'm capable of, yet you dared to challenge me? You even had the audacity to issue threats? HA! You're a joke, son."

Something inside me snapped.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW! I'LL KILL YOUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER! EVEN YOUR LIVES AREN'T ENOUGH TO REPAY EVERYTHING!"

My hand trembled against the trigger, my mind screaming to just end him. To put a bullet between his eyes and erase him from existence.

But then-

My father's smirk widened.

"You should cool your head," he said nonchalantly. "I haven't even mentioned the most interesting part yet. Oh, speaking of which..."

He slowly reached into his coat pocket. I raised my gun instinctively, but he merely pulled out a phone.

"I also found out that you have a child."

My blood ran cold.

"No fucking way..."

My father held up the phone, unlocking it with a single swipe. Then, without taking his eyes off me, he pressed a number and brought the device to his ear.

"Tell me," he said to whoever was on the other end, his voice calm yet laced with an unmistakable threat. "How is the job I assigned you?"

A muffled voice responded. My entire body stiffened.

"You... you're lying," I forced a laugh, but even I could hear the panic in my voice. "Me? A child? Don't be ridiculous. My top priority has always been revenge."

But his smirk told me everything. He knew.

"You think I'd lie about this?" he scoffed. "I know everything about you- And her name... is Caroline, isn't it?"

My breathing hitched.

"A beautiful name, just like her late grandmother, Carolina," he mused. "She's just five years old, Xavier. And she's about to lose her father. How tragic."

It felt like ice had been poured down my spine.

I wanted to believe he was bluffing. But deep down, I knew better. This man never bluffed.

I had underestimated him.

I forced myself to stay calm. I couldn't let him control me.

"I see," Richard muttered beside me. "Like father, like son."

"Shut the fuck up, Richard," I snapped.

"What do you want?" I asked, my voice tight. "If you expect me to let go of your precious daughter and her woman, it won't be that easy."

My father merely smiled.

And then-

BANG!

A gunshot rang out.

Pain exploded in my side, knocking me off balance. My vision blurred as I stumbled, blood soaking through my shirt.

The shot had come from somewhere else.

"What the fuck?!" Richard yelled, spinning around.

"Sorry we're late!" a woman voice called out.

I wonder how that bitch survived.

Zyleith's friend, Margot, stepped into view, gun still smoking. Along with several other men, men who clearly weren't ours but my father's men.

They weren't alone.

They had backup.

A lot of it.

And just like that, the entire situation flipped on its head.

Goddammit!

I'm struggling to stand up from where I fell to the ground since I got shot while scanning my surroundings, we're surrounded by my father's men.

They beat Richard until he collapsed to the ground, while the others focused all their attention on my evil father, his daughter, and her lover, assisting them.

Fuck!

Have I lost? Is this the end for me? No, this can't be! What about my daughter?! Fuck! fuck! This can't be happening. It's not over yet. Everything won't end here, I swear.
