Possessive Daddy

Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 26

Lisa's POV

I tortured her already. I've hurt her. I saw how much I've hurt her physically earlier. The whips left mark on her delicate skin but I know the impact of it was worse inside than what was shown. But the anger is still there. I don't think I have ever been more mad at myself before tonight.

I want to just blurt it all out. How her mother is a bad person. How her mother is a killer. How terrible her mother is.

I want to shout it to her. But I can't. I chose the wrong person. I screwed a fragile person. And if I tell her how terrible her mother is, I would break her.

I should have listened to my parents. I should have listened to my sister. I should have listen when they told me that this revenge will heal nothing. That it is completely useless.

They're right. As I watch the girl beside me, even in her sleep, I could see the pain. Every move she makes, she will wince and her face scrunches up in pain. It didn't heal anything. I just started to resent myself.

But I'm already here. I am almost there. I will take the company down. But Jennie's grandma will die.

It won't be my fault, will it?

Of course it's not my fault. It will be the murderer's fault.

I stood up, careful not to wake Jennie and made my way downstairs. I grabbed a glass and poured a cold water.

"You should go easy on the girl, Lisa. She's hurt," my caretaker spoke, going infront of me, at the other side of the counter.

"She deserves it, Betty. Her mother is a murderer," I said, gripping the glass of water.

"Her mother is a murderer. She's not, and most of all, you're not. Lisa, hurting others won't heal the scar in your heart. It will just anger you more, because you are doing exactly what they did on Ava and Lia. Do you think Ava will be happy if she knew that you're hurting others?" She's right. She's always right.

"She won't be. But I'm not hurting anyone. I just want to know why did Rebecca kill her. That's just what I want, I'm not going to hurt anyone." I tried to ressure her. Betty knows my past, all of it. She also knows my childhood. She knows me more than I knew myself.

"You know, Lisa. Ava is gone, and you need to let go. The incident was 7 years ago and you can't even let go. I can see that the girl you brought here likes you. You shouldn't hurt her. She doesn't deserve it." She smiled at me. I just shook my head. That's ridiculous.

"She's a Kim, Betty."

"That is not a problem. Rebecca is the only Kim that has dirty image. Her dad got killed too," she tells me. She's right, Kims are not bad. Only Rebecca. But I won't like Jennie.

I drank the water from the glass and closed my eyes.

"You should sleep. You need it," she tells me before leaving.

I drank one glass of water again, before going back to the room. Jennie is still asleep, lying on her stomach. I laid beside her, turning my back on her.

I'm very mad. After I saved her daughter's life. After I saved Jennie from getting traumatized at a very young age, I will know that she's the reason why I suffered fromt he lost of my love ones. But I am more mad at myself for hurting this delicate child.

I am a monster.

Jennie's POV

I opened my eyes, because of thirst. My mouth is dry, and my throat is scratchy. The mark of the handcuff is still visible around my wrist, and my bottom hurts.
