“ is this how you treat me after seeing me again? ” Ken rubbed the blood from the side of his mouth, he looked at his son and smirked. “ finding you was easier than I had expected. ”
“ this is your son? ” Candice looked at Ken then at Harry again finding it hard to believe the truth.
“ I'm not his son. ” Harry spat, he clenched his fists ready to hit him again when Candice stands between them, “ no fighting in my house. ”
“ I was already leaving. ” Harry said.
“ oh! Did you tell her that you escaped from jail? ” Harry decided to ask before leaving.
Candice's eyes widen, “ you what? ” she asked Ken. “ we'll talk about this tomorrow. ” Ken walked out of the house to catch up with his son.
Harry stood leaning on his car waiting for Ken, “ what are you doing here? ” Harry asked as soon as the man stood in front of him.
“ I'm trying to start a new life. ”
He laughed a humorless laugh, “ you escaped from jail, you don't really expect me to believe that. ”
“ you don't have to believe me, but we both know the reason I was sent to jail was you. I didn't kill your mother and you know it, I have every right to be free. ”
“ do you think they would have taken the word of a fourteen year old boy over all the other evidences against you? You only got what you deserved, don't blame it on me. ” Harry warned.
“ you better not report me to the cops. ”
He arched his brow staring down at his father, “ you should know by now you are in no position to be making demands. ”
“ you don't want to test me Harry, I know exactly what is your weakness. ” he growled.
“ you don't scare me anymore. ”
Ken pulls out his phone and showed Harry a picture of Aria standing outside her school gates. “ you're threatening me using your own daughter? That's pathetic, we both know you can't hurt Aria. ” Harry said.
A sinister look crossed Ken's face “ I can hurt anyone to get what I want. If I get arrested I have my mates positioned ready to kidnap her, and they would bargain her life for my freedom. ”
Harry grabbed the collar of Ken's shirt glaring at him, “ you're a sick bastard. ” he shoved him away and Ken lands on the concrete ground.

“ he can't really be serious. ” Ben said after Harry had them he met with Ken.
“ I don't think we should test him, the man escaped from prison for God sake he could really do what he said. ” Julie said clasping her hands.
