Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 141
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
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 137
ROBINI peered through the peephole and breathed out, the tension melting away from my shoulders, the tight knot in my chest loosening as I spotted my Dad. I unfastened the latch and pulled the door wide open for him, drawing me in for a long hug before entering. I led him into the kitchen, poured him a glass of water and sat opposite each other in silence.He looked wretched, as though he’d aged a decade in the space of a few weeks. The divorce had messed him up real bad and I doubted I had the right words to ease his pain, because no matter what, I still loved him and Mum equally. They had both loved me unconditionally when I had no one else.“How are you holding up, Dad?” I mumbled, swiping his hand into mine. “Are you okay?”He scoffed, going for laughter, but it never touched his eyes. Devastation stared back at me.“There’s no fixing how broken I am, my girl. I’m living in hell.” I lifted his hand to my cheek before placing a kiss at the back of it. “Life is horrible without you
Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 136
ROBINTWO WEEKS LATER…“Lana,” I called, pushing open her bedroom door without knocking. “Daddy wants to talk to you.” I held up my phone, waving it in her direction.“I don’t want to talk to him, tell him that.”I let out a slow breath, pressing the phone against my ear to repeat Lana’s words, though I knew he’d already heard them. This was the twentieth time he’d called my phone this week alone, hoping to speak to Lana, and each time she had bluntly refused to hear him out, going as far as deleting his number and revoking all access.“I’m sorry, Daddy. I don’t think she’s ready to talk yet." I paused for a minute, listening to what he had to say."Okay…bye.” I peeled the phone away and hung up before making myself comfortable on Lana’s bed, narrowing suspicious eyes at her impossibly short dress as she sashayed over to the dressing mirror, putting the finishing touches on her makeup.“It’s been weeks now, are you really never going to speak to him again?”“No, I’m not. You might for
