The Wattpad chick

~Chapter eight~

"Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead"

-The Pierces.

"Dad."

The creepy pale man smiled- or at least his lips twitched. His eyes betrayed him though....they were devoid of any kind of happiness or love.

He turned to me and smirked, giving me an once-over that made me nauseous.

       "You are Arnold's daughter, aren't you?" He asked me, his voice kind of monotonous.

"That is a controversial statement," I answer, shrugging, "you see I never actually found out who my real father is."

Kevin winces next to me, staring at me with a horrified expression. I had a feeling it had to do with talking back to his father....It probably wasn't wise to do it.

"I'm Darius McCarthy," Mr. McCarthy says, ignoring my answer and holding out his hand, "I'm sure you've met my son Kaemon."

      "Um no I haven't." I respond, eyeing his hand rather icily until he withdraws it.

             "I think you know him as Kevin."

My jaw drops and I turn to look at Kaemon who stands awkwardly, a brilliant pink blush consuming his cheeks.

Now I have something to use as a bait. His days of calling me Skylee are officially over.

      "This is my girlfriend, Louisa." Darius says, introducing the girl who was wrapped around his arm.

I resist the urge to gasp. The age difference was....alarming, to say the least. This girl was definitely no more than twenty and Darius was well above his early forties.

This is the LAST thing that is alarming about this family Sky, I remind myself.

"Pleased to meet you," Louisa tells me, her eyes boring into mine as she flips her pretty auburn hair, "I've met your father. Suffice to say, you look nothing like him."

    "Louisa dear, why don't you go get us something to drink? It is almost time to make our special announcement." Darius says before I can bite back at her.

She gives me a cold look before marching off, her hips swaying in her silver gown.

       "What special announcement?" Kevin questions, frowning at his dad.

   "You'll see, son."

Darius looks like he is about to say something to me but I don't really wish to hear it. I excuse myself and walk off into a random direction, trying to locate Aliyah who I'd ditched so I could tell her what was going on.

           Engulfed in my thoughts, I crash against someone and end up getting red wine all over my dress.

"What did you do?" I sigh, staring at the wet patches all over my new dress.

       "You weren't watching where you were going either, Bryan. Don't put it all on me."

Elias.
