Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 510

My dad staggered with my words. “Amy.” He tried to step closer, but I held up my hand.

“No.” I looked at my dad, and for probably the first time in my life, I was disappointed by him. “You interfered with my relationships. With Rowans. You pushed us and pulled our strings until we danced to your tune without concern for us. Now you don’t get to be upset because we are upset.”

Rowan was trembling with his anger. “Leave.” My dad turned to Rowan, and I think he was going to fight.

“Leave Daddy.” I tossed out as I took another long drink from my bottle. “We played our parts. You got what you wanted. I got the information from Vince.” I looked at Rowan. “I don’t know what he wanted from you, but at this point, it’s a moot point. We all have a job to do.” Rowan turned to me. “I know you’re angry, but it’s done.”

“Can we just talk about this?” My dad asked.

But I just shook my head. “Maybe sometime. But not now. You made your choices and now you get to deal with the repercussions.” I cut him a look. “Please…just leave.”

My dad stared at me for a few minutes. “Okay.” He nodded. “Okay.” He turned and walked towards the door. Then he stopped at the door. “For what it’s worth…” He turned back to me. “I was wrong.” His eyes danced to Rowan. “Be brave. Be honest.” He turned back to me. “Be yourself.” Then he was gone.

I turned to look at Rowan, who was still trembling. “Hey.” His gaze was firmly on the table. “Hey.” I called again and finally he looked up. “Calm down.” I shook my head slowly. “It’s fine.”

“No.” He growled out. “I’m pissed.”

“Why?” I sighed. “Yeah. It sucks, but it’s already done.”

His eyes darkened. “You hate me.” His words were soft. “I was so mad at you. I thought you knew everything, and you were still upset. That’s why you weren’t answering me. I tried to understand your side, but some days…”

“Some days you hated me.” I finished for him. He nodded. “And now you feel a little confused.”
