Leena's POV

" I'm pretty sure I want to be with him and it's my final decision regardless of the consequences! " I screamed as I faced my mom.

Tears formed in her eyes, " If you want to leave, then leave. " She said calmly as she stood up and walked away from me.

I was mad.

I didn't understand why my mom doesn't want to support our relationship, don't she want her daughter to be happy ?

Just then, the phone rang and I picked up the phone to hear a familiar man's voice.

" Mira-ah, please just let me see Leena one last time. Please, I promise I won't hurt anyone else. " Confusion strikes me.

" Dad ? Where are you ? " I asked and he was shocked but he gave me the location that he is currently at.

I took the subway to that area but it seemed like an extremely weird area because the subway was nearly empty.

The route to the location was really dull and dark, there are insects crawling around the walls of the place. You tell me if it's weird or nah.

I heard a ruffle coming nearby, " Leena? " I turned my head to see my dad in the worst state. His hair was messy and his skin was dirty, he has wounds all over his body.

He came and gave me a big hug, " Dad, why are you in this state ? Why didn't you come home ? " He released me from the hug.

Dad looked at me sternly, " Now that I see you, I want you to leave right away. At this moment. " Just then, I heard footsteps approaching.

He pushed me towards the cardboard boxes and covered me using it as he stood at the side. My heart started racing even faster as I heard the foot steps approaching.

" You hurt so many families, are you happy now ? Now that your family is hurt too, I'm happy. "

" Please don't hurt my family. They are innocent, i'm the one that's at fault. Punish me, not them. "

" If you say so. "

That's when I heard the sound that I've never thought I would ever hear.

Bang.

Then silence came upon us.

The footsteps got further as I slowly removed the cardboard boxes to see the sight that no one should ever see.

My father was lying on the ground, lifeless with open wound that's fresh from seconds ago.

I kneeled down on the ground with tears rolling down my cheeks, " Dad, wake up. Why are you sleeping ? Do you think it's funny ? "

" I just saw you seconds ago, why do you have to leave now ? How bad of a thing did you do ? " I shook his cold body but he didn't react.

I took out my phone and called the ambulance as they came and collected my father's lifeless body. I followed them to the hospital and I was just emotionless.

My mother was called over too, she came running to me with puffy eyes. She hugged me, " Did they do anything to you ? " I shook my head.

" Mom, " I called out to her as she looked over at me worriedly, " What did dad do ? " I asked and she was dumbfounded.

She sighed before looking at me, " Listen carefully, your dad used to be a wanted man. He hurt many lives because he scammed many. "

" One day, he was caught by a police man. His first instinct was to get the gun and shoot the police man so that he can escape. " She said with tears in her eyes.

" And that's what he did, " She swallowed her saliva as she continued, " That man was sent here to teach the other officers since he was the superior officer. "

Mom took a deep breath, " He passed on on the spot, leaving his family behind. Because of this, many criminals decides to fight against him because that officer helped many criminals who were in prison at that time. "

" The person who shot your father was one of the criminal that was saved by that officer. " She said.

Tears started forming in my eyes, " So you're telling me now that dad is a criminal ? a murderer ? " She nodded as tears started rolling down my cheeks.

My body started shaking vigorously as my mom hugged me but it didn't help much. I was in shock, I didn't know what to do or how to react.

I wanted so badly to deny that fact but I couldn't because my mom would never lie to me about such a thing. Moreover, I overheard the conversation between the murderer of my dad and my dad.

My heart felt like it's been lied to, it's been hurt. Which child would think that her dad is a criminal ? Moreover a murderer that killed an innocent life ? Broke many families apart.

I've always pictured my dad as a superhero, someone who is superior and can protect the world from harm and bad guys. Little did I not know, my dad was one of the bad guys.

Just then, " Leena ? " I heard a familiar voice and I looked up to see Lucas staring down at me with an unreadable expression.

" L-Lucas ? What are you doing here ? " I asked as I approached him but instead of comforting me, he pushed me away as he stared at me with his cold gaze.

He scoffed, " I didn't know you have such a wonderful dad. " He said and anger rise in me as I pushed him harshly.

" My dad can't get up forever, and you came here to say such a thing ? How inhumane can you be ?! " I screamed and he smirked.

" Inhumane ? " He smirked as he crossed his arms.

" You have no rights to say that about my dad ! " I screamed in his face and his expression changed, it changed into a really devilish look.

He glared at me, " I have more than enough reason to have the rights to say that about your beloved dad ! " He screamed back which took me by surprise.

" Because your dad took away my dad's life. "
