The Bully’s Obsession

Gracie

I awoke to a splitting headache , I felt as if my head is being ripped apart, with great difficulty I managed to peer my eyes open, it was pitch dark, I couldn’t see a single thing…

I only remembered…..

The memories came rushing like a heavy flood of water.

Dad….

The gun…

Oh god! He must have hit my head with it.

I tried to move my hands and feet but couldn’t , I was tied up in a chair of some sort.

Panic kicked in as I struggle in earnest to break free from my constraints.

Why had he kidnap me? Even more so, why had he brought me here to this place?

I froze when I heard the sound of a door clicking open, I heard footsteps approaching, about a moment later the lights turned on, it was so bright blinding me for a moment.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I stared into the cold eyes of the man I considered my father

“Dad why are you doing this , let me go! ”

A chuckle escape his mouth as he straightened down to my level

“It feels good to finally see you after eighteen years Graciela ”

I was confused for a moment , but not for long, the realization slowly dawned on me

“You aren’t my dad.. you are Matteo ” even as I said it aloud it sounded so unreal, I didn’t believe it…

Didn’t want to…

There weren’t much difference between him and his brother . No, there wasn’t any difference except from the harsh lines on his face which couldn’t be seen unless you take a very close look.

“Now don’t say that because that isn’t true , I’m your biological father”

He still wore that creepy smile on his face.

“Everyone thinks you are dead ”

Everything started to make sense to me, Hayden and his brother had been speaking him the other night.

“No, I’m very much alive as you can see”

“If you’ve been alive then where were you all these years, they said you disappeared, you didn’t even show yourself to your family ”

“who says I didn’t? How else was I able to hide without been discovered for so many years? ”

I don’t know why that was surprising, I guess they also lied about that.

“well you see, I have enemies, they would waste no time to put a bullet in my head ”

I began to struggle against my constraints again.

“Why did you bring me here? ”

“You serve one purpose, they’ve found out that I’m alive, running for almost eighteen years has been so tiring……. which is why I want to end everything . On my own terms”

His cold gaze settled on my struggling form.

“You are just a bait my dear, to bring him to me, after his death I’ll start on the rest of the family but if I don’t have you how else am I going to bring him here? ”

“Are you talking about Hayden? ”

A look of disdain spread across his face for a moment

“They think they’ve got everything under control, I watched him played after you for so many years,”

He called it played? It was torture and he had stood by and watched everything…

Watched me go through hell for his mistakes .

“He will do anything to have you back… And you are going to bring him to me”

A humorless chuckle escaped my mouth

“Then you got the wrong person, he won’t come ”

A cruel smirk spread across his face, he patted my hair like I was some two year old.

“For your sake I hope be does , believe me I also don’t want to do this to you, but you see, money can make anyone do anything…. It was all for the money I had betrayed Mcandrew years ago, a little bit of revenge I might add, I’ve worked for him for so many years but he always treat me like shit! … he killed me but I managed to survived after months of laying in coma, now it’s time for payback time ”

A sinister smile spread across his lips as he produced a cellphone from his pockets and handed it over to me .

“Now call your little lover boy ”

I stared cautiously at the cellphone in his hand

“No I…” before I could complete my sentence the hard feeling of his palm on my cheeks sent me flying to the hard floor , I cried out at the stinging sensation

He straightened down to make a harsh grip on my hair , threatening to rip it from the scalp.

“you really are stupid just like your mother! ” he hissed

His words piqued up the questions that had been gnawing inside of me for a while now.

“My mother….? Who’s she?”

An evil chuckle escaped his mouth as if I just asked something amusing

“she was some prostitute and drug addict I fucked a few times, she was quite young, exactly how I like’em … nine months later she returned with a god dammed baby”

My eyes burned with angry tears at his crude words, why was I the one stuck in between between all of these ? And this man was supposed to be my father?

“Bitch didn’t want a baby, I still don’t know why she didn’t abort you, perhaps she did it just to spite me ”

“Where is she now ?” I found myself asking

For a moment something flashed through his gaze, then it disappeared replaced by a dark look..

“I killed her”

I don’t know why his words didn’t surprise me In the least bit, maybe because I already guessed it.

“I put a bullet in her fucking head, I ought to have killed you too but my sister-in-law was too compassionate for that, she offered to raise you up… I’m glad she did, or you wouldn’t be here right now ”

“Don’t you want to know why my brother and his wife gave you up weeks ago? , Money my dear, I had to pay a lot to compensate them for bringing you up, I needed Hayden to take you, so everything would come to a final end…. but the plan failed, he figured out I’m alive which is why I decided to make the first move . My brother and his wife left town rich and satisfied , You’ll not allow all the money I paid to go to waste will you? ”

“You are disgusting! you can kill me but I’ll never take part in whatever sick game you have in mind! ” I spat out in his face

All my fears were gone, replaced by anger, I suddenly didn’t care anymore.

Perhaps I’ve already cared for too long… cared about the wrong people.

Another hard slap connected with my cheek drawing out blood from my lips.

“You will do as I say” he spat out in fury.

Despite his warning I wasn’t willing to put Hayden in danger, I also don’t get it ….. perhaps it was because I realized now that he was the only person who wanted me…

Who will ever want me..

And the only one who might miss me when I’m gone.

“You are just going to have to kill me first. Dad” I spat out the last part like a curse word

He watched me for a moment , with unmistakable rage simmering in his eyes .

His hands were raised to strike again when the cellphone in his hands rang.

He took a moment to answer it, a slow satisfied smile forming on his lips.

“That was quick boy, since you already know why don’t you come and let’s settle it squarely? ”

My breath hitched in my throat, Hayden?

I could hear his voice from the other side of the line , it filled me with a sense of calm even though now he sounded furious and filled with impatience.

“Remember to come alone or she dies”

He turned to me in that moment and tilted my chin to face his evil grin.

“it seems you both are really fated, because he’s reached out to me before I could contact him….. He wants to speak to you? ”

An unwilling cry escaped my mouth when his grip on my chin turned painful.

“you heard that boy? She’s alright now, but won’t be soon”

He pressed the end call button and stared at me with a hardened expression

“I wished it didn’t have to end this way between us daughter ”

He let’s go of me and straightened to full height.

I watched him turned off the lights and left leaving me once again in complete darkness.
