Page 107 of Daddy Sees Snakes

"This is your fault," Iris cries and the pain in her voice is too much.

I hate myself for hurting her. And, my daughter.

"You're right. It's my fault. Always. Everything's always my fault. No matter what. I'm the asshole."

"Viper, please," Iris says.

I ignore her and grab Allegra's keys before walking back into the club.

Lyon is gone, thank fuck, but I need to find my daughter first.

"Allegra left," I tell the bartender.

"She did," he nods.

"Do you know where she went?"

"Nope. Sorry, Boss," he shrugs, and when the phone rings, I answer it.

"Yeah," I growl. "Allegra?"

"I found her," Iris manages. "Come to the private booth."

"I'll be there," I say, and when I'm inside the booth, the first thing I notice is the fear in her eyes. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Allegra...she's in there," Iris whispers.

"Is she okay?"

"Look," she says, pointing to the floor.

"Oh, God," I groan, and when I see my daughter's dress, my chest hurts. "I'm going to kill her."

"Please don't," Iris whispers.

"I'm sorry, baby. I've got this," I hiss, and before she can say another word, I've slammed the door behind me. "Allegra, what the fuck?"

"Fuck you," Allegra growls, and the second her eyes land on mine, I feel like someone's hit me with a train.

"Jesus Christ," I mutter, and when my eyes fall to the couch, I see Allegra's naked. "Are you actually serious?"

"Leave. Get the fuck out," she screams.

"No. No way. Come here. Now," I say, and when the fear in her eyes hits, the anger disappears.

"Dad, please. Don't make me," she cries.

"Now, Allegra," I say.

"You can't stop me," Allegra growls.

"Yes. Yes, I can," I say, and when the door to the bathroom opens, my eyes widen. Jaxon, Lyon's brother, and the President of the Crimson Reapers MC, is standing there, and the look on his face makes me want to kill him. "What the fuck?"

"Oh, hey," he says, smiling at me.

"What the fuck is going on here," I growl, and the second the words are out of my mouth, he's standing there, glaring at me.

"You should be glad I found her before she made a mistake with the wrong man. Some slimeball was trying to get to her, broke the window to get her out of your fuckin' car."
