Chapter 21
"You're Not My Father!"
It was a quiet evening in the mansion until there was a knock at the door. Ruki immediately went to the front door to open it while Azusa, Kou, Yuma, and I stayed in the living room to relax.
"Skylar," I heard a familiar voice.
My eyes widened when I saw a man with long white hair and golden orbs standing there before me! He's the same man that I have a picture of and that voice is the one I heard inside my head that kept calling me "Eve".
"You…" My voice shook as I stood up from the couch.
Yuma stood up too and grunted at the man before us. I refuse to address him as my father!
"You don't look happy to see me," Karl said in amusement.
"What brings you here?" Ruki asked in a low voice.
"I came to get to know my daughter, that's all. She is the only daughter I have, after all," Karl smirked.
"I am not your daughter," I countered.
"That's no way to talk to your father…" Karl chuckled.
How could my mother fall for such a jerk! Yeah, he's attractive but I know my mother wouldn't go after a man just because of his looks, right?!
"You have grown up so much. You look just like your mother," Karl hummed, while he approached me but Yuma hurried and pushed me behind him to protect me.
"You dare to go against someone who has given you a second chance in life?" Karl raised an eyebrow at Yuma.
"You're not taking her away from us!" Yuma grunted.
"She is more suited for one of the Sakamaki's," Karl sighed.
"No, I want to be with Yuma!" I raised my voice.
"You have fallen for a half-vampire? Pathetic…" Karl frowned.
"Why did you have us kidnap her if your intentions were for her to be with one of your sons?" Kou chimed in.
"I didn't want them to do the dirty work," Karl answered simply.
Ruki glared at Karl's answer while the rest of us just stared at Karl dumbfound. It doesn't make any sense. Does all of the Sakamaki's get things handed to them?
"Why did you kill my mother?!" I asked in a harsh whisper.
"Is this why you aren't too fond of me? I only want what's best for you. Your mother didn't understand that." Karl shook his head.
"You monster!" I shouted.
How could this man speak so casually about my mother's death!? Didn't he love her at one time? Is this all just a game to him? I hate him!
I can feel my knees giving out and my body trembling. I never thought someone could be so heartless. I don't care if he's a full-blooded vampire, there's no excuse for him to be so cruel!
"I will have one of my sons pick you up tomorrow to take you to your new home…"
I interrupted him. "I'm not going! I will stay here!"
Karl smirked. "I'm your father. You will do as I say!"
"You are not my father!" I argued.
Karl laughed out loud before turning his back on us to leave. I wish I never met him; I wish he NEVER existed!
"I won't let you go with them," Yuma muttered.
"Yeah, Neko-chan is staying here!" Kou added.
"I want you here too," Azusa agreed.
"We'll do everything in our power to keep you here." Ruki nodded.
I smiled at the four brothers. I want to stay with them forever! I will not let Karl and his sons take me away from them!
