Alex's POV
Flames of fear licked through my body, kindling the madness the thought of losing her created in me, and my gut twisted into the tightest knot.
What does he want from my little girl?
If he wants the baby dead, then what does Lilly have to do in the middle of all of this?
"Who did this?" Liam asked the guy, but the young man was already slipping away, the liquid oozing down his shirt took a darker color. Liam shook him, "I said, who did this?" His voice bellowed in the hallway, slamming against the walls and returning back as an echo.
"Who else do you think?" My voice didn't sound familiar to my own ears; Liam turned to me, his gaze drifting from the dead guy, "It's my dear father, who else would do something like this?"
His brow raised before he got to his feet, "Well, I can think of one other person who would do something exactly like this." The words harshly tumbled out, his hand curling into a fist, anger taking over his eyes. It's weird, seconds ago he was the one trying to calm me down.
"Who?" I questioned. Fuck, what is that feeling in my chest?
Liam stared back at me in disbelief as if I was supposed to know the answer to that question, "Nikolas, who else?"
I shook my head, the thought didn't make sense, "No, it's not him." I rubbed at my chest, trying to blunt the ache inside.
"Why so sure?"
"Well,.." How in hell was I supposed to explain this, "It's just, it's not him okay, what would he get from kidnapping Lilly? It's my father, why you're refusing to notice that?!" I am the one getting angrier now. I need to go and find my daughter instead of arguing with him.
"Because I don't see the point of your father taking Lilly," he took a step closer, "Because you seem to forget that Nikolas is the bad guy in this story. Because for all we know, these two might be working together!"
Ragged breaths palpitated from my lungs, "They are not, why you're insisting on it?"
The fury that flashed in his eyes made me take a step backward, "Why are defending him?"
My eyes widened, "I am not defending anyone!" I snapped, "Look Liam, the only thing that was keeping me sane was that little girl, I really don't need this right now," I pointed at him, "I need to go and find her." I added before I turned around.
