Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 143
ROBIN“Oh God!” Mum broke down all over again, sobbing into George’s letter until fresh tears soaked the paper in translucent patches.Lana and I moved to either side of her, wrapping our arms around her as we shared in her grief and the emotions our dad’s final words had stirred. She wept on and on for a number of minutes before her quaking sobs tailed off.“I’m fine, girls.” she whispered at last, heaving a thick sigh. “I have to be strong for the two of you.” She sniffled, sweeping the tears away from her eyes.“I’m good.” Her lips curved into a forced smile as she stroked Lana’s cheek before cupping mine.“I think you should look through the will as well,” I mumbled, gently fingering Dad’s letter.“He wanted you to have a look.”She shook her head.“I don’t care about the will, darling. You should know, your father and I built everything we had together, but the Crawford name is pretty big shot.”“Mum’s being modest. Grandad owned vast amounts of land and several oil companies.” M
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 142
ROBINAfter hours on hours of discussing Millicent’s malice and Jack’s treacherous cousin, we grew increasingly concerned about Mum and her alone time upstairs. It had been hours already.“Don’t you think she’s been up there a little too long?” I asked quietly, shifting on Jack’s lap. “I haven’t heard a sound. I’m worried.”“Should we go check on her?” Lana asked. I nodded, grasping the envelope Dad had left for me.“We’ll wait here.” Mike declared. Lana hunched down and placed a lingering kiss on Mike’s lips before she got moving. I did the same with Jack, peppering soft kisses everywhere across his face until he smiled and helped me to my feet.“Thank you, baby.” Lana whispered to Mike before seizing my wrist and guiding me up the stairs to mum’s room.A narrow gap in the door materialised and we peeped through the narrow opening. She wasn’t lying on the bed bawling like we had expected, she sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by old photo albums.Photos of us during our famil

ROBIN“NOOOOOO!” Lindsey’s scream ripped through the room as she collapsed onto the sofa, breaking into uncontrollable sobs.I broke free from Jack’s grip, hurtling towards her and gathering her in my arms. In barely a month I’d been the bearer of two horrible news: one for her husband’s infidelity, another for her husband’s death.“I’m so sorry Mummy.” She accepted my hug, cocking her head onto my shoulder and intertwining her trembling fingers with mine. Across the room, Lana turned away, planting her face in Mike’s chest, resuming her soft wail.“What happened to him?” Lindsey whispered. “How… how did he die?” I shot Jack a worried look, swallowing down the lump of guilt building in my throat.“Mrs Betton,” Jack began gently, taking the vacant seat next to her. “The father of your daughters died a hero.”She frowned through her tears.“What does that even mean, Jack?” She sniffled, her confused eyes appraising his.“He died protecting Robin, Lindsey. Millicent’s bullet was meant fo
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 140
ROBIN“Did you see her shoot?” I lifted cross eyes to Marcus, glaring at him so hard I could’ve made a lunge for his throat and snapped his neck.“She came to kill me.” I sniffled. “My dad threw himself in front of the bullet. He sacrificed himself for me.” Marcus pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and held it out for me, I shook my head, refusing it.“I’m so sorry for your loss, Miss Betton.” Jack materialised beside me, his face showing immense concern as he looked over me, clearly worried about my refusal to wash away the blood covering my skin.“Excuse me,” the DCI said quietly before stepping away.“How are you holding up, baby,” Jack mumbled, dipping and making a grasp for me.“I feel… wretched. And angry.” I choked, swallowing another sob. “Why would he leave me, Jack?”“Because he loved you baby. So much.” He kissed my forehead gently. “Come on. Let me get you cleaned up.”“No! This is all I have left of him.” He stroked the tears from my face. “I won’t clean up.”“I unders
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 139
JACKTwo hours before his visit…An unknown number had called my phone just minutes before I climbed into my Bugatti. The voice croaked down the line, claiming to know the exact location of Millicent. Ordinarily, I’d confirm with Miller first whether the tip was worth the pursuit, called their bluff or dismissed it as another pathetic attempt by someone wanting to ride on my frustration. But nonetheless I listened, calmly noting the strange address the caller gave me.I was torn in thought.Go to my girl…… or end these motherfuckers once and for all. Robin would never truly be safe while those two criminals were still out there.So I made the hardest decision of my life. I phoned the love of my fucked-up life, made it known I’d be late for our rendezvous, then gave chase to the caller’s location.The building looked old and abandoned, paint peeling from every wall, moulds creeping across ceiling, and the damp stench hung thick in the air.Who the hell could live in a place like this?
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 138
ROBINMy legs gave out beneath me, hands flying to my mouth as I watched George spluttering, crumpling to the floor, a dark pool of red spreading rapidly, bleeding into the cracks of the floor. I stood shivering, eyes widening, breathing erratic. What just happened? Oh, my God! I squeezed my eyes shut, and knelt down beside him.“Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no. NOOOOOOOOO!” I screamed my lungs out, shaking him vigorously to wake up. “Daddy! Daddy! Please don’t do this.” I swallowed, swiping at my eyes with my blood-drenched hands. “George, wake up! Daddy… please don’t leave me…please!” I roared, wailing, rocking back and forth as I pulled his upper body onto my lap.“My fucking Christ! Robin!” I heard a yell, and then I was being forced away from George but I clenched on to him. “Robin, baby, let me get you cleaned up.” I jerked my body from his grip.He wasn’t going to leave me like everyone else. He was going to wake up, he was going to wake up, he was going to wake up.“Jack.” I lif
