The drive to my father’s is long, and nerve racking. I haven’t seen him in over a year since he gave me to Mick for not fulfilling my duty. I was to marry—someone I didn’t even know—so my father’s banking business could expand, having the backing of the man’s family I was meant to marry into. I didn’t want it, I didn’t want to marry to support my father. He was rich enough, so why sacrifice my own happiness for something that would not support me.

We finally come to a stop, the apartment building is massive. It seems larger as I stand in front of it. My father owns the property and rents out all the floors, but he keeps the penthouse suite. The bodyguard who I grew up with stands behind me. He’s the one that taught me self-defense, but he’s also been punished for treating me as more than a client. He’s been with my father for over ten years, ever since I was a young teenager. He taught me a lot, instructed and guided me in things my father would hate. Things that my father would kill him for.

Each step is hard, the ride up to his penthouse is long and arduous. When we reach the door, he’s standing there, watching me. It’s like looking in a mirror when I see him, we have the same skin, same facial structure, same eyes. The only difference is I have my mother’s hair—her beautiful curly hair.

“Addy…” he greets me. It’s not warm like a father should be toward his daughter who he hasn’t seen for the past year.

“Father…”

He turns, and I follow him in as he walks over to the bar and starts pouring a drink. I stand on the opposite side, just watching him.

“Mick has called me.” I roll my eyes, all that man wants is his money. “He’s not impressed, and requests that you go back to him immediately.”

“You do know that you can’t make me return to him?” The glass is pulled to his lips, and he pauses after those words leave my mouth, his eyes glare at me over the glass, fury etched in them.

“You forget I’m your father, child. You don’t speak to me in such a way.”

“You haven’t been any kind of father in over a year. What makes you my father now?” I need to shut up, I need to keep my mouth shut.

“You’ll never see her again. Do you hear me? Get rid of that attitude right now.”

“Stop using her as a threat. You obviously know it didn’t work last time.”

His jaw ticks, he does that when I push his buttons. “I’ve heard you’ve been keeping the wrong kind of company, Addy?”

“Like anyone could be worse than Mick.” I roll my eyes again, reaching out and grabbing his glass, drinking down what’s left in the bottom.

“This man you were hanging with is trouble.”

“How could you possibly know?” I fire back, he wouldn’t even know his name.

“I told him!” A voice comes from behind me, I know that voice without even turning.
