“IS THIS BECAUSE of that girl? The gold-digging whore you referred to as your girlfriend? Well, I have news for you.” My father’s anger had reached a new height when I told him my decision regarding the restaurant.

He opened his mouth to spew more hateful words and I stopped him cold. My fist connected with his jaw. I left him lying on the floor and stormed out. He continued to shout at me but whatever he was saying, I ignored it.

“PLEASE. WHAT’S GOING on? Why are you doing this?” The movers ignored me, carrying my dresser out first. “You can’t do this,” I cried, blockading the door trying to keep them from exiting with my stuff.

The movers paused, exchanging looks with each other. My pleas were working. They were having a moment of sympathy.

“Keep going. I want it all out,” a voice commanded from behind me, and the men returned to work. I whipped around to find Mr. Knight. He strode in, sliding off a pair of black leather gloves and set them on the table. His face had noticeable bruising and swelling. “Your services have been terminated, Miss Winston.”

“What? Why?” I couldn’t breathe; my heart was racing. Two more men came in and next my mattress was being hauled out of the apartment.

“Because I hired a professional yet somehow wound up with a woman who is anything but.” He pulled out a chair and sat down regally with his legs crossed. The chaos of the movers who kept entering the apartment and my panic-stricken face did nothing to unnerve him. “I hired you as a distraction to keep my son occupied and away from his doubts about the restaurant. You didn’t do that. I was informed last night of his new plan. He wants to run a soup kitchen. My only son. My legacy. He wants to be executive chef for the destitute, working in the slums of New Jersey.” He raised his arms theatrically. “Ah, just what every father dreams of for their child. And it seems I have you to thank for that.”

“You should be proud of him. The work he does down there is amazing. Zack is an amazing man.”

Mr. Knight clasped his hands in his lap and snickered. “Isn’t that sweet, but you don’t have to pretend with me that you care about my son. I know what you are.”

“Mr. Knight, I do care about Zack.”

“You don’t care about my son. You care about his money,” he spat at me. “Because you know as well as I do that regardless of what decision he makes, he’s set for life. And you think if you can sink your claws into him that means you are too. Greedy, greedy girl.” He shook his head. “But you see, that will never happen. I’ll make sure of that.”

“What are you gonna do?” I looked behind me nervously, my eyes darting around the room for witnesses. Where were the movers? Was he going to kill me? The man in front of me seemed capable of anything.
