The Gift

Lana was having a good time chatting with her mother and Liam outside the mansion in the garden when a helper appeared saying she had a visitor waiting for her in the living room. Lana excused herself and walked towards the living room. She entered the doors of the living room and froze on her spot when she saw a man of a familiar build standing in front of their family portrait.

"It's a good family picture dear. But why do I feel as if something is missing in this picture?"

The man turned around, glaring at Lana with his bloodshot eyes and fierce eyes, as he shouted, "Why I'm not there in the portrait! I am your father, your biological father!"

"No!!!" Lana screamed. Her heart started racing badly as she felt the lack of air in her lungs. That monster suddenly approached her and tried to choke her with his one hand, lifting her body up in the air, like what he used to do before also.

"No…" she mumbled, seeing Liam approaching them along with her mother.
