Page 129 of Forgive Me, Father

Alfonso reprimanded her as Nico comforted her.He whispered in Italian as she shied away against his chest.

My gaze flickered to what she could’ve seen and then I saw it.

Kai’s body suspended in the air.Apart from the shiner, he was in perfect condition.

I froze.Fear gripped her talons deep inside of me.A deadly silence overpowered my senses as I kept staring at him.

His voice a constant haunting as what he’d done to me replayed in my head.

“Camilla!”Alfonso yelled.My gaze pulled from Kai’s body suspended in the air back to his.

“You do what you need to gain back your power.”

“What?”

Bas handed him a club.I didn’t even see him there, and at once I saw all of them.Bastian, Lenny, my brother, Roberto, they all stood against the wall.

My gaze landed on my brother.I swallowed hard and he nodded.

I looked back at Kai.This was what he meant by he would die soon.

Not by Alfonso’s hand, but by mine.By Fiona’s.

Alfonso still had the club in his hands.It wasn’t a normal club either, it was one with spikes.A torture device.

Fiona said something in Italian and rushed past me, grabbed the club from her brother, and rushed up to Kai.

“Fiona!”Alfonso yelled, but she didn’t listen.She swung with all her might and the club pierced Kai in the side.

He woke up instantly, bulking like a bull.

Rapid Italian fired from Fiona’s lips as she struggled to pull out the club.It was like a horror show.

She spit in his face and punched his dick.He growled in pain as she unleashed her fury.Nico helped with removing the club from Kai’s body.His screams tore through the dungeon.

There was something to his screams, that poured through my soul.It awakened something that I thought was dead.Thought he had killed.

My gaze lingered on Nico, ready to give Fiona the club back, when my feet did the walking.

I grabbed the club instead, and found it quite light to my surprise.

“Bell—”

I struck the club and hit him solid in the hip.More screams.

“You fucking cunt.If I get down here…”

I pulled it out and flesh came with it.Another bulk.I didn’t stop.

I swung at the other side and kept swinging.His screams coaxed out my will to live.A will to fight, a will not to feel this broken.I was taking my power back.

I was burning to a crisp, so that I could be reborn.

In the interim, Fiona had gotten another weapon.I think it was a wrench.

We took turns swinging as if Kai were a piñata.His screams grew silent a long time ago.

I stopped when I was covered in his blood.
