Kostas

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

My cousin Victoria yammers on the phone loudly to her husband, and I want to tell her to shut the fuck up. Instead, I grit my teeth and continue to pace the floor.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

She’s dead. My mother is dead. I’ll never hear her laughter again. See her smile. I’ll never be able to tease her about being the favorite son. I’ll never again smell her lovely floral perfume scent she’s worn since childhood.

I pause my pacing as a violent tremble shakes through me.

“Kos, hon, you okay?” Paulina, my other cousin, asks.

“I’m fine,” I growl.

But I’m not fine. Everything is a fucking mess.

I need for my father to be okay. I can’t lose both my parents in one day. I’m barely holding on to my sanity, which means Aris has probably gone off the deep end. He was a momma’s boy, and he, like me, watched his mother blow her head off right after she shot our fucking father.

Fuck.

Paulina hands me a tissue, but I wave it off, opting to swipe at the rogue tear with the palm of my hand.

I should have pressed Father on the Nikolaides issue. I’d known something was fucking wrong, but I ignored it. I hoped Father would come out and tell me why he was obsessed with making Niles pay.

Revenge.

My mother is a cheater, and he wanted to make them all pay for it.

An ache forms in my stomach. How could I have not seen this? All these years, I thought my mother and father loved each other. Sure, he was an asshole, but he would kiss her and occasionally playfully carry her up the stairs. I took it for face value. I’d never dreamed she hated him and was only staying with him because of us. He spent years tormenting her over this shit.

I want to be angry with him, but I understand his need for revenge. He loved his wife. They had a contract—that’s what marriage is after all—to love one another. She was the mother of his children. And she stepped out of the marriage. With Niles fucking Nikolaides of all people. He conned her like he tries to do everyone else.

I’m going to end that motherfucker.

String him up by his goddamn ballsack.

“Kos,” Paulina says, “are you sure you’re okay?”

“Fucking go away,” I snarl. “I just watched my mother blow her fucking brains out. How the hell do you think I’m doing?”

Paulina gapes at me and Victoria quickly ushers her away from me. I continue my pacing. Father has to be okay. We’ll get through this and make a plan to get Niles back.

My blood turns icy.

Melody.

If she’d kept her damn mouth shut, my mother may not have lost it like she did. But she didn’t. Melody blabbing to my mother was the catalyst for the events that took place. As soon as I can fucking think clearly, I’ll send Adrian to fetch them for me. Melody, her pussy husband, her prissy parents. I’ll fucking destroy their entire line in one swoop.
