Kayden’s mind reeled with conflicting emotions as Marlene suddenly drove into his father’s private

estate. Ever since the police investigation started, this had been where his father was staying

because it had little to no security, and it was also a place that wasn’t listed under the properties

he owned.

As the car came to a stop, Kayden turned to Marlene, his brows furrowed in confusion as he sought

clarity in her sudden decision to bring him here. “What are we doing here, Marlene?” he asked, his

voice tinged with a mix of apprehension and disbelief.

Marlene’s eyes flickered with impatience as she regarded Kayden with an irritated look on her face.

“Don’t you remember our conversation, Kayden?” she retorted, her tone tinged with a hint of

exasperation.

Kayden’s eyes widened in shock, his heart pounding in his chest as the realization of Marlene’s plan

dawned on him in all its chilling clarity. “You can’t be serious, Marlene. You were being serious

about asking me ta…kill my own father?” he stammered, the words catching in his throat as he

grappled with the magnitude of her proposition.

Marlene’s scoff cut through his disbelief like a blade, and her gaze hardened with a resolve that

brooked no argument. “It’s time you faced the truth, Kayden. Your father is a monster, a stain on your family name that cannot be erased until he’s removed from the picture,” she declared, her voice laced with a steely edge. “He’s a woman beater, a drug addict, and a threat to everything you hold

dear. You need to rid yourself of his toxic influence once and for all.”

Kayden’s mind whirled with a maelstrom of conflicting emotions, his heart torn between loyalty to his father and the harsh reality of the man his father had always been. “But regardless of anything, he’s my father, Marlene. How can you ask me to…to do this?” he questioned, his voice tinged with a mix of desperation and disbelief.

Marlene’s expression softened for a fleeting moment, a flicker of sympathy crossing her features before she hardened her resolve once again. “Kayden, you need to see him for what he truly is. This man is no longer your father, but a thorn in your flesh that you need to get rid of,” she stated, her words cutting through his defenses with brutal honesty. “He’s a shadow of his former self, a danger

to both himself and those around him, and it’s time for you to break free from his grasp and take

control of your own life instead of letting his influence control yours.”

Marlene’s words hung heavy in the air, and she stepped out of the car as soon as she was done talking, the sound of her footsteps echoing in the silence that enveloped him.

As Kayden and Marlene stepped into the dimly lit bedroom, they found Anthony lying on the bed, his form shrouded in a veil of delirium. Despite his apparent state of unconsciousness, Kayden felt a shiver run down his spine at the sight of his father, the man whom he had once upon a time been

afraid of, now reduced to a shell of his former self.

Sensing Kayden’s unease, Marlene placed a reassuring hand on his arm, her gaze unwavering as she met his troubled eyes. “Don’t worry, Kayden. I made sure he wouldn’t be a hindrance to our plans,” she assured him, her voice laced with a calmness that sent a shiver down his spine. “I had some people

put him in this state earlier so that you could take care of him without any resistance.”

Kayden’s eyes widened, a sense of disbelief washing over him. “You did this? Then why go through the trouble of making me do it myself when you could have had someone else take care of it?” he questioned, his voice tinged with a mix of confusion and resignation.

Marlene’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Kayden, your father is your burden to bear. He’s the one who made you this way because of his abusive nature,” she explained, her words cutting through the lingering doubts in his mind. “For you to find peace and freedom, you must be the one to rid yourself of his influence once and for all.”

A heavy sigh escaped Kayden’s lips, the burden of his choice settling over him like a suffocating cloak. He had never imagined himself capable of such a deed, but as he looked at the broken figure of his father, a sense of resolve began to stir in him. Now that his father had become a problem, he knew that he needed to get rid of him, just like Marlene suggested.

Marlene reached into the bag she had brought with her, pulling out a pair of gloves and tossing a larger pair to Kayden, letting the fabric cool against his skin. With a purposeful stride, she made her way to Anthony’s drawer, expertly pulling it open and retrieving a gun that lay hidden within.

“Why the gun if it’s supposed to look like a suicide?” Kayden inquired, his voice laden with confusion as he watched Marlené handle the weapon with chilling ease.

Marlene turned to face him, her gaze cold and calculating as she explained her plan with clinical precision. “Yes, it will appear as a suicide, but we need to make it convincing and fitting for a man of Anthony’s standing,” she replied, her tone unwavering. “You will shoot him at the side of the

As Marlene handed the gun to Kayden, a chill ran down his spine at the weight of the metal in his hand

The gravity of the situation bore down heavily on him as she posed the question that would seal his father’s fate. “Is your father left–handed or right–handed, Kayden?” she inquired, her voice cutting

through the tense atmosphere.

Kayden hesitated, his gaze shifting to his father’s form on the bed, knowing that this decision would

irreversibly alter the course of his life. “He’s left–handed,” he answered, the words leaving a

bitter taste in his mouth as he considered what lay ahead.

Marlene’s directive was cold and clinical, as she instructed him to place the gun in his father’s

left hand and take the shot. His eyes lingered on Anthony, and his figure slumped in a state of

semi–consciousness.

A skeptical look crossed Kayden’s face as doubts clawed at the edges of his resolve. “What about the

drugs in his system? Will the police find anything suspicious?” he questioned, the fear of being caught gnawing at the edges of his mind.

Marlene’s eyes rolled in frustration, her patience wearing thin as she dismissed his concerns with a wave of her hand. “He’s just overdosed on sleeping pills, Kayden. There won’t be anything out of the ordinary in his blood,” she assured him, her voice laced with a hint of impatience. “Can you do

this?”

Kayden glanced back at his father, the memories of his abuse flooding his mind like a torrent of

anguish. The years of pain and torment Anthony had inflicted on him resurfaced in a whirlwind of

bitterness and resentment. He had despised his father for as long as he could remember, but the thought of taking his life plunged him into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions.

Before he could fully process his thoughts, Marlene made a swift move, snatching the gun from his hand with a speed that caught him off guard. With a determined stride, she approached Anthony, helping him into a sitting position with an eerie calmness. Placing the gun in his left hand, she fixed Kayden with a steely gaze, a silent challenge in her eyes.

“This is how it’s done, Kayden,” Marlene declared, her voice devoid of emotion as she manipulated Anthony’s limp hand. Without a moment of hesitation, she used his father’s finger to pull the trigger, the deafening sound of the gunshot ringing in the confines of the room.

Kayden recoiled in horror as blood sprayed across the bed, the wall, and even on Marlene’s face, and

with a sinister smile on her face, Marlene spoke.

“Congratulations, babe; your abuser is no more, and it’s all thanks to me.”
