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 ce 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
rity 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 n
dawned on him in all its chilling rity. “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 de, 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 dered, her voiceced
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 ced 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 ns,” she
assured him, her voiceced 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 exined, 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 be 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 arger
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 thaty hidden within.
“Why the gun if it’s supposed to look like a suicide?” Kayden inquired, his voiceden with confusion as
he watched Marlené handle the weapon with chilling ease.
Marlene turned to face him, her gaze cold and calcting as she exined her n 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 whaty ahead.

Marlene’s directive was cold and clinical, as she instructed him to ce 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 wed 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 voiceced with a hint of impatience. “Can you do
this?”
Kayden nced 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. cing 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 dered, her voice devoid of emotion as she manipted
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.
“Congrattions, babe; your abuser is no more, and it’s all thanks to me.”
