Chapter Twenty

Daisy gasped as freezingcold water was thrown over her.It stunk and it was disgusting.Her hands were held above her head with a rope, and the stench of filth, the earth, and just desperation assaulted her senses.She felt sick to her stomach and wanted to throw up.

And when she saw where she was, it was like being transported back in time, only she wasn’t looking at her father, but at Luke Senior.He wore his leather cut, and he now had a beard.He looked a little worse for wear.

Daisy should have known he would attack in broad daylight, when no one else was around.This man was a coward.He was a fucking coward that had brought her back to the house where her father had lived, and where she killed him—a place she had vowed never to return to.

She glared at him, hating him on sight.

“It’s finally time you woke up, princess.”He reached out to touch her, stroking a finger down her cheek, and she stayed perfectly still, even though she was repulsed.“It was good news, wasn’t it, that you made it out of there alive?Unlike some people.”

“Dad, leave her alone,” Luke said.

Hearing his voice, Daisy thought he was a traitor, only Luke Senior stepped out of the way, and that was when she saw him.

Luke hadn’t been tied to a chair.They had put nails through his hands, pinning him down to the chair.Blood pooled on the floor.Also, they had done the same to his feet, keeping him locked to the floor.The sight alone was enough to disturb Daisy.She had seen her fair share of horror, but this was something else.Luke Senior was doing this to his own son.

She looked up and saw Luke’s face.One of his eyes was completely swollen shut.The other was open, but he had a cut above it.His nose looked broken.They had also removed his shirt, and she saw cuts on his chest.

Luke Senior tutted.“Son, you should be happy I am turning my attention to this little slut.It will give you a reprieve until I start on you again.”He walked over to his son, and then punched him in the back of the head.

“Stop it,” Daisy said.

There was nothing she could do.She was tied up, and today she had to go and wear a fucking dress and heels.The heels had come off her feet.Anthony had told her to enjoy this reprieve from the punishment, to get dressed up, and that is what she had done.Admittedly, she had done it to see the gleam in Anthony’s eye when he looked at her.She loved it when he gave her that look, as if he couldn’t quite help himself.It was their little game, and now she was vulnerable.At the mercy of these assholes, the ones that had gotten away.

And in the distance, she heard the cries of the little girls.They had found them, and there was fucking nothing she could do about it.Anger filled her.She wasn’t afraid.

Anthony would find her.They would not get away with this.He would figure it out.She couldn’t believe she hadn’t thought about this house.This was the only place Whizz didn’t have a lot of cameras, since it was in the middle of nowhere in Fort Wills.Daisy knew, because she had lived here.She knew what it was like to cry and never get answered, unless she got a slap from her mother or father.

This was where she had killed her father, and Anthony covered it up.Even though their relationship had started many years ago, when she entered nursery school, their true relationship started that day, when he didn’t look at her and judge her.He accepted what she had done.

And he didn’t care.He had her back.

Luke Senior came toward her, and she stayed perfectly still.She tensed up as he put a hand on her stomach and began to circle her.“Do you really think you’re in a position to question me?”

His touch repulsed her.Daisy tried to keep her head.It wouldn’t do to lose her cool right now.She had to stay focused and alert.

She had no witty comeback, so she stayed silent.She gritted her teeth as he suddenly grabbed her dress and tore it open, revealing her stomach, along with her bra.

She would not beg for mercy.Ryan had been capable of rape, and she knew this man wouldn’t have any problems with it.

“Look at that.”

“Dad, stop it.Leave her the fuck alone.”

“You don’t get to fucking speak.You’re a traitor to your own club.You turned your back on those that needed you.”

Luke Senior walked over and hit his son a few more times, and Luke just took it.He didn’t wriggle.He didn’t moan.There were a few grunts and Daisy needed to stop it.

“And he killed Daniella,” Daisy said.“He finished what I started all those years ago.”

He turned his attention back to her.

“Daisy, shut the fuck up,” Luke said.“You don’t know what he is capable of.”
