Page 104 of Killian De Luca

Clouded by revenge.

“I’m so disappointed in you, Killian,” my dad says calmly. He’s sweating and has blood on his face and suit. I’ve never seen my dad get down and dirty before. He always taught me never to take revenge with your own hands unless you have to. Let other people do your dirty work. But right now, looking at him, I understand why people are shocked that he, out of all people, fell in love with my mom. It almost makes me wonder how. “I told you-”

“And I told you to fuck off and leave Reign alone! Did I not?!” I yell, still holding Reign to me. “Why can’t you two just leave each other alone? What is it with this guy that makes you want to ruin his life?” I ask, mainly looking at my dad.

My dad laughs and looks at Malcolm. “Malcolm here likes being a little baby.” Malcom punches him in the face before my dad punches back. Reign flinches making me let go of her and go in between them. I push my dad back as he fights against me. “Killian, move out of the way.”

“You’re done. Enough is enough. I won’t let you kill him,” I say, pushing him away from Malcolm.

My dad stops suddenly and just glares at me.

He appears calm so quickly it almost makes me wary.

My dad.

Ace De Luca.

My mom praised him so much and all I see right now is the monster he keeps hidden and tucked away.

It’s hard to believe that he actually used to be a decent person and was loving and caring when he met my mom but now, he’s finally showing his true colors.

Probably because now, he has no reason to live.

I know the only reason he is being the way he is, is because my mom is dying.

He has no one to impress or love.

His children aren’t enough for him.

“Fine. You want to play? You want me to show you the real world and how cruel it can be, Killian?” I look at my dad’s hands as he reaches for his waistband. “I’ll fucking show you.” He pulls out his gun and aims it at Reign.

Everything is in slow motion as I push him to the ground as the gun goes off.

Reign screams at the same time my heart clenches.

And all of a sudden, what feels like fire spreads throughout my body taking me out.

It’s happening.

I can feel it.

It’s been leading up to this.

I fall to the ground and wince, holding my chest as Reign runs over to me and pushes my hair out of my face.

She is yelling at me, saying something but I can’t focus on her.

So, I say my last words to her.

“I love you.”

The fire spreads through my entire body and when it gets to my heart, it takes me out.

Fifty-One

Reign

After Killian fainted,Ace froze and then pushed me away so that he could get to Killian.
