Vincent’s NOV

“I’m sorry that yout

a went through that, Vincent,” Solla said softly, her eyes full of genuine compassion. “No one should he endure that kind of pain, especially from their own family and helleve me, I would know. She trails off, catching my attention with the last port.

Her family were bastards too? That would explain her running away from home and winding up here in town alone…

Her words hit me hard, and 1 felt a lump forming in my throat but allowed it back before it could lead to anything I wouldn t cry over them, nevet.

I nodded, taking a moment to collect myself before continuing-

“It wasn’t easy, especially when I was young,” I admitted, my voice rough with emotion. But it made me who I am today and if my father was to ever try to raise a hand to me these days, I would knock him around senseless, and the best part about that is, be would deserve it.” I state firmly, believing in my words, instantly feeling my body tighten at the thought of my father.

“Why didn’t your mother ever fight back for you?” Sofia whispers gently, as I instantly feel disgusted by the mention of her

e wasn’t my mother…

I wish she wasn’t

father into marrying her she’s slept with half of his colleagues and ist “She’s just a whore who fell pregnant with me to trap my ashamed about it either. Sometimes, I feel sorry for her, because she seems completely soulless and lost, but then I remember what she allowed me to go through. I was never comforted whenever I would cry, she only wanted my father’s approval and yet she never managed to get it even still to this day! I speak through my teeth, knuckles tightening.

It sounded ridiculous considering that my father beat me black and blue, but I always hated my mother more for never once asking me, her son, if I was okay. Something so simple, yet she never did it

Sofia surprises me next by reaching across the table, her hand reaching up to take one of mine, squeezing it softly as

I allow her to

The warmth of her touch was grounding, and I felt a surge of gratitude towards her for helping to calm me down quickly.

“You don’t have to be that same guy,” she said softly. “You can be whoever you want to be and from what I’ve seen tonight, you re already on the right path to be a better man than he ever could.” So smiles, as all but sigh.

“But that’s where you’re wrong Sofia… crime is all I know, and I’m fucking good at it too. I’m not much different to him when you actually think about it and put it on paper. One day, I would love to get so good that I could overrun his business, just to watch him crumble and grovel at my feet, but he would stop at nothing to have me killed for it. I’ve decided recently that it’s best to just keep them both at arms length, since they are gone quite a lot these days and rarely visit which suits me more. I shrug, as Sofia’s eyes seem saddened by what I was telling her.

y wanted her to understand my life and who I am- especially the reasons behind my actions.

I didn’t want her to pity me, I only

“Well at least you have good people around you now right? I appreciate you telling me all of this, I really do. I know it takes a lot to talk about the past.” Sofia’s soller approach puts me at case, something I wasn’t used to receiving from anyone in my life and with that I wasn’t entirely sure how to cope with it.

This was the side to her that had drawn me in since day one, how she had so gracefully handled the worst of situations singe moving here to town, it was admirable.

I couldn’t help but want to lock her up and keep her all to myself, in dear that somebody else would come and take her from me. I was growing obsessed with her, and until now I had tried to suppress it as much as humanly possible but I can’t.

“So I’m guessing you do some pretty bad stuff.

Sofia afmits, her tone uncertain as I all but pod.

She’s not wrong there.

Chapter 59-2

“So anyway, now that you know how shit my family are, what’s the deal with your past? Only if you feel comfortable sharing tonight that is I nod, as she seems to think over what to say.

If one thing was certain about me, I could tell when people held secrets – whether for the good or for the bad,

“Well it turns out that both of our fathers are pretty shitty people in more ways than one. My Mom though, she was different, softer –and more kind. But she died a couple of years ago and since then my life has gone down the drain to put it lightly.” I see her eyes

“I have two brothers, bath unfortunately y who are exact replicas of my father, and similar to yours – my father thinks he’s a big time gangster which I just find to be totally laughable since he wasn’t like that before my Mom died!” She scoffs with a shake of her head, as I didn’t expect to hear what she was saying.

I wonder who her father is and whether or not I have heard of him before…

“Anyway, to put things lightly, and please don’t tell anybody about this Vincent because I’ve never spoke about ́even Emma yet.” She pauses as I nod and hold my hands up in agreement, before she continues:

“They tried to marry me off when I turned sixteen for money. The virgin bride my father had called me to help raise the stakes. He hated me, and he quickly realised that there were many creepy associutes of his who would pay well to sweep me up and so I had to leave before they could go through with it.” Sofia lowers her gaze, as my blood runs cold.
