We rode down the long driveway to the front door and I had to damn near carry her up the steps to ring the doorbell she was shaking so hard. Her father opened the door and went into
automatic asshole mode. I don’t think he had any other. “What do you want? You’re not welcomed here.” I looked him in the eye and smirked. “Either you let her go see her mother or I will
turn over every stone under which you’ve hidden your shit and be back in a couple hours with a warrant.” He swallowed audibly but still had to play the big man to save face. “Now.” That
got him moving when he realized I wasn’t bullshitting. “Go on in baby and get whatever you want to take with you together, we’ll swing by and pick it up when we’re heading out.” She
actually had to sidestep him to get through the door, his last power play I suppose but I wasn’t willing to give him even that. “Out of the way asshole before I knock you on your ass.”
He turned to follow her inside but I pulled him up short. “You stay out here, go on and see your mom Jacqueline.”
“I beg your pardon this is my home you have no rights here.”
“Yeah but your track record isn’t so good where my Wife is concerned so you’ll stay your ass out here so I can keep an eye on you while she does what she came here for.”
“You really think you’re something don’t you? I promise you that that badge of yours means nothing to me…”
“You remember what I whispered in your ear last night that had you turning white as sheet? Well I lied; I already know everything there is to know. That’s why when she comes back out
here you’re going to go into your safe and give her what’s hers.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He looked everywhere but at me, it was hell realizing your enemy had the goods on you.
“Sure you do, you know her inheritance that her maternal grandfather left her? She’s twenty one now so you have no more rights over it.”
“I knew it, I knew that’s why you came sniffing around my daughter.”
“No asshole you’re wrong, I didn’t know shit about it until after I was here the last time. When I went back I did some research, I made it a mission to dig up every speck of dirt on you
and I found plenty. Good luck getting out of that hole you dug yourself with that shoddy oil deal you fuck.” He stepped back and looked around to see if anyone else was listening in.
“You can’t…it’ll ruin me.”
“Give her her money, and before you try any of your underhanded tricks I know every dime down to the last penny that she’s due including interest, so if you’ve been dipping into that pot
you’d better figure out how you’re gonna put it back in say, the next ten minutes. Now when she walks out that door you’re going to treat her like a daughter and you’re gonna go get
what’s hers and bring it out here and put it in her hands respectfully or I’ll take great pleasure in breaking your fucking neck.”
When she came out half an hour later I’d already threatened him with everything I had. He was not to stand in her way if she chose to call her mom in the future, which I’m sure she’d
want to. I had to glare at him to get the ball rolling. “Uh Jacqueline I have something that belongs to you.” He said it like he was having his tooth pulled but at least he wasn’t
yelling. “What is it dad?” Still so respectful, I knew that after all he’d done she still wished for even one small kernel of the love a man was supposed to show his daughter. Asshole,
that’s okay, I’ll just have to spend the next sixty years making up for it. He went in and came back out with a packet. I could see how much it pained him to give it to her and I wasn’t
ashamed to gloat over it. She opened it up and started reading. “What is this?” I looked at him when he took too long to answer her.
“It’s what your grandfather left you when he died, you were supposed to get it on your twenty first birthday I’ve been keeping an eye on it for you over the years.” Yeah right.
“But what does it mean?” I could understand her confusion. There was a fuck load of zeroes at the end of that number.
“It means you’re rich let’s go we have to be on the road soon.” She turned to say bye to the asshole but he turned his back on her and went inside. Good riddance. I hugged and kissed her
while she kept staring down at the paper in her hand before leading her to the bike.
