ASHLEY’s POV
“I will never do that to you, Ashley, my baby.” My eyes watered as I watched dad breaking. I’ve never seen my father so devastated. “And I assured you, I have no debts to anyone.”
“Are you sure?” I asked and he nodded.
“But...”
“But what?” I asked.
“But I was in a Mafia group before but I quit.” He confessed. “I was so desperate for money to get you and Lucas from Lily, so when they offered me to join them, I agreed immediately.”
“You what?!” I exclaimed, not expecting to hear those words from him
“I’m sorry…”
“Why did you quit?”
“They ordered me to kill an innocent girl.” he buried his eyes in his palm, shaking. “They asked me to kill Samuel’s daughter.”
And I’ve never been so shocked my whole life.
“Daddy…” I whispered brokenly. All this time, he’s done nothing but be the best father I could have ever asked for.
