Falling in Reverse (GxG, Lesbian)

Ch.3 First Kill

Illiana's POV

Weekend came and all of my things are already packed, mom and I are going to stay in our villa in Beverly Hills. I'm still not talking, our private doctor said that my silence is due to the trauma because of what Carin made me see.

I don't want to leave dad but I can't bring myself to voice it out. I didn't see Carin the whole week and I heard that dad sent her to New York for the mean time to finish something.

"Helena please" I heard dad said when I came out of my room. He's kneeling in front of mom while crying.

"Please, I don't know what I would do without the both of you. I promise it will not happen again. I will not force Illiana to be part of the Triad" It is the first time that I saw him looking so weak and defeated.

I love him and I feel sad that he's going to give up his position in the future to a non-family member because I don't share the same interest as him. I'm weak and I don't have plans on participating in any form of crimes.

I walked to him and reached for his hands. I helped him stand up and hugged him tight afterwards. I don't want to leave him, he already promised and I'm sure that he will never break it.

"Honey, please forgive me. I love you please don't leave daddy" He pleaded still crying.

I want to say yes but I still can't bring myself to speak so I just nodded in response after gently pushing him away. Mom didn't say anything but I know that she approves my decision to stay. She loves dad so much and I know that she also don't want to leave.

Mom is a lawyer by profession but she resigned when she had me and focused on managing the tobacco plantation since dad can't manage it due to his position in the Triad.

I first came to know that dad is into illegal business when I was eight years old. I visited the plantation and was lost in the fields and accidentally found the storage where they keep the drugs and guns that they are trading.

I remember they told me that it was actually sugar, and the guns are from the police. It's a stupid excuse but I pretended that I believe them because I didn't care that time. Mom didn't let it go easily when she first found out, she almost filed a divorce and I don't know what changed her mind that time.

Probably love. My mind suggested.

"I have a surprise for the both of you" Dad said after wiping his tears.

"There's a newly opened carnival downtown and I want the three of us to go there" My face brightened up upon hearing what he said.

"Your mom likes carnival, we always go there when we're still dating" He said as he leaned closer to mom and gave her a peck on her lips.

"Oh please, you just want to play the shooting game again" she teased him.

There are already lots of people when we arrived at the carnival. The last time that I've been to the same place is when I was eight. My eyes widen in excitement when I saw the Ferris wheel, I pointed at it while pulling moms jacket.

"Sure honey, but let's wait for your dad first" I frowned when I realized that he is not with us. I gazed to where my mom is pointing and saw him playing the shooting game. He has to hit at least three of the toy soldiers for him to win the biggest stuffed toy.

"He likes that game very much" She said while watching dad.

He played three times and didn't win anything so he decided to stop and just return to us.

"I'm not this rusty back in the days" he said upset.

"Past is past, our Illiana wants to ride the Ferris wheel" she said chuckling before gently pushing him to the Ferris wheel's direction.
