13. 🧬🦠

"Diego? What are you doing?" I said shocked

"I'm sorry Persephone I wish I didn't have to do this." He said with his head down.

"What do you mean Diego? You don't have to do anything." I said shaking my head.

"I'm sorry" he said lowly

"There's no need to be sorry son you did what was right for your family."

Diego put his head down as I focus on the voice that I heard behind me. I recognize that voice it's been a while since Ive heard it.

"Dad" I whispered under my breath.

"Hello Persephone" he said as he got in to view " It's good to see you again."

"I would say otherwise" I said as I glared at him

"Feisty, just like your mother" I almost jumped out of my seat at the mention of my mother.

"Don't mention my mother!!" I said shaking the seat a bit.

He chuckled a bit before he turned to Diego and motioned him out of room. Then he turned it back to me.

" You've grown so much Persephone or should I say AJ." He let out a slight chuckle

" You don't get to call me that" I shook my head.

" Oh I can call you whatever the heck I want to. I made you" He said smug

" You don't get to claim that title either mom told me everything how you and my grandparents tried to kill her and tried to take me away and why are you calling Diego your son and mentioning family to him? What do you mean about that? What does he have to do with any of this?"

"Oh yes well..." he started as he grabbed a seat next to him and sat down.  " Let me tell you little story along time ago, A couple years after you were born. I met a little boy who was stuck on the streets, alone, cold, hungry, had no home, no family. So me, being the kind, loving, generous man that I am, I took him in, under my wing, I raised him. Clothed him, fed him, gave him a roof over his head.  I treated him like a son and he became my son and I became his father and now we are family along with Ronni and your stepmother how about that? has a nice ring to it. And now you."

I shook my head. I couldn't believe what he was saying, I didn't believe a word that was coming out of his mouth. There was no way that Diego could've betrayed me I thought he liked me. I thought what we had was real. I was starting to feel something for him and I thought he was starting to feel something for me and I knew there was something up with that Ronni bitch.

"I'll never be a part of your family it's just me and my mother and you need to leave me alone"

"No no will get to that soon but you didn't let me finish" he says waving his hand dismissively "So after we all had become family, the little boy grew into a very strong and handsome man, we had already been monitoring your whereabouts for sometime now, trying to figure out exactly where you were, until we got a hold of a phone call from a Little Miss Persephone Connors saying she wants a roll on a new hit TV show...!!! well this was the perfect opportunity to reel you in so that's what we did. I sent Diego to go work his charm and he got himself the lead role on the TV show, how proud I am and how lucky he was to meet you on the first day and then it all just went from there. After that of course my perfect little daughter Ronni, she wanted to join in and I can't let my princess down Can I? So I let her get a spot as well,  I may of pulled a couple strings to get her a roll but apparently she didn't connect as well with you as Diego did, so that kind of backfired especially after she outed the fact that she was part of the family." He said rolling his eyes  "so I had to send the guys to go take care of it I don't know why they were shooting they weren't meant to kill you they were just meant to capture you and Diego wasn't supposed to get caught in between the fire either BUT it all worked out!!!" He said clapping his hands in excitement "You have something special Persephone. You have something special in your blood. It's a blood type that hasn't been seen in almost decades the doctors were very shocked when they found out that you were this very rare blood type. Type E neutral. This genetic of yours has no type of effect to you. You function like any normal person it doesn't provide you with any type of special abilities, nothing, but if you were to transfer just a bit of your blood into another person.... well, they would just be unstoppable, the perfect solider I'd say. Their strength would grow into another level, their sight, their speed, their metabolism, everything about them would heighten to another level almost like a vampire..." he chuckled a bit " In those little teen fiction books Ronni loves reading. I need your blood Persephone do you know how much money I can make off your blood I could sell to military's for their soldiers it would be like having a whole army of weapons. I could make a fortune off of your blood Persephone and I don't even need a lot just some. But your mother she wasn't thinking as big as I was..." he said with distain "she I was thinking only about you, see were very poor people or not poor but middle class but to me that's poor. I want more, she tried to keep you away from me and when I told your grandparents my idea they didn't even hesitate to agree but then your mother took you and hide you away from me away from your family, you could live in a rich family all I need is just a little bit of your blood, just a little bit, we'll make a fortune, we will be rich Persephone, think about it?" He said hopeful, like I'd actually agree with this insane man.

My father is a fucking psycho path! 😳
