CHAPTER 47

CASSIE'S POV:-



My mother stopped the car in front of the same building I had spent a year in. It was the worst nightmare of my life. She hopped out of the car and grabbed my hair. She pulled my hair and I stepped out of the car. Dragging me by my hair, she took me into the same bedroom where Hendrick had abused me for months.


Cassie: Stop it. Why are you doing this? I did not do anything. Why do you hate me this much? You are my mother. You have already done enough to destroy my life. What else do you want?


I yelled at her as she pushed me on a chair. Her gun was still pointed at my head, that was why I did not move. She pulled the police mark band and tied my hands and legs with the chair. She then backed away and started laughing hysterically.


Christy: Me, your mother. How funny is this? You were adopted. Your mother was a slut of a criminal who fuck her and you were born. As for that stupid man, David. He adopted you. I asked him many times to throw you out. You were a dirt. But he never listened. He asked me to leave if I was bothered this much. He chose you over me and his own baby.


She spat on my face bitterly. Her hatred could be heard easily in her voice and her tone. A sob escaped my lips as I learned the bitter truth of my life.


Christy: So many times. I tried to kill you so many times, even you were weak and fragile, but you still survive every time. Every single time, you were between me and him. It took me years to get him just look at me. I spent four years to make him love me. And that time came. I got pregnant and I had a hope that everything would be fine but your mother. She had to die the day I gave birth to Katy. It destroyed everything. You destroyed my life. You took everything away.


She yelled at me and I was not even able to process everything she was saying. She then stood in front of me and pointed the gun on my head. She started laughing hysterically while I was shivering in fear. But just then, I remembered what Norie had said to me. It was for Hendrick but it could be applied upon the woman I used to know as my mother. I gritted my teeth and looked up at her.



Cassie: What can you do? You will not torture me. Because you know if you kept me alive, you will be dead. Norie was right. What harm could you do? You will kill me, that is the least you can do. You think I am the same fragile Cassandra I used to be. No Christy Wolf. I am not that woman. Everything has changed. Last time, I was saved. Let's see, what would happen this time. Take your aim and try your best shot. Let's see if you have the power to change destiny.


I spat on her face with a smirk on my face. I finally learned the reason why she hated me. Why did that woman never care about me? Why that woman never appreciated me for my achievements. Learning the truth was painful. But she could not hurt me anymore. Gritting her teeth in anger, she took a few steps away from me. She started laughing and took her aim. She pointed the gun at the middle of my head.


I gulped as I realized the fact that I would not get a chance to say goodbye to the love of my life. That was the only thing that made me feel like I should cry. But I controlled myself. I was the daughter of agent Wolf. The man who never gave up. I just could not give up as well. I held my head high like a proud woman my father had made me. She pulled the trigger and I shut my eyes tightly.


I was waiting for the unbearable pain but it never came. I opened my eyes and found Hendrick Black between me and the pointed gun. He turned to look at me and that was when I saw blood pooling out of the fresh wound in his chest. He fell on the ground with a loud thud with his eyes locked with mine. I looked up at Christy who tried to pull the trigger again but Chris grabbed her arm and slapped her hard on her face. She fell on the ground and Chris kicked the gun she was holding.


Scott came from behind and my father also followed. Dad came to me and started untying me. Scott grabbed Christy and cuffed her. While Chris sat beside Hendrick Black. He peeled off his jacket and put it on Hendrick's wound to stop the bleeding. But the wound was in the middle of the chest. It was impossible to stop bleeding.


Once I was free, my dad helped me up and took me to Hendrick. He looked at me and for the first time in my life, I saw tears in his eyes. They were not in his eyes because of the pain. They were tears of guilt. Scott called 911 to get help while dad held me close to his chest.


Hendrick Black: I know I belong in hell. But I would be in peace if you forgive me ever. What I did, was not just cruel. There is no word made to define what I did. I never understood that I could have won you if I would have followed the path my brother had used years ago. I know I don't deserve it, but Cassandra, please forgive me if you ever can. You too Christopher. You are lucky that she is yours. Not everyone could be lucky enough to have a woman like Cassandra in his life.


Hendrick said and Chris looked at me. Hendrick coughed hard and then he lost consciousness. Chris checked if he was alive.


Chris: He is alive but his pulses are getting weak. We need to get him to the hospital, fast.


He said and as Scott turned around to call 911 again, detective Dean entered the room with medics. They took care of Hendrick Black as Chris came to me and hugged me tightly. Detective Dean arrested Christy. My dad went to her and looked into her eyes.


David Wolf: You will get your divorce papers in the jail. I won't bother you to get it. You have nothing to do with my girls anymore. You are dead for all three of us.


He said and turned around. Christy broke into tears as detective Dean took her away. Chris pulled me out of that building and dad and Scott were behind us. We all hopped into the car and I sat on the back seat with dad. I had learned the truth but I did not want to tell him anything. I knew how much he loved me. I just could not break his heart. I rested my head on his chest and he quickly wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes knowing that finally the nightmare that started about three years ago, it was over. Cuddling with my father, I fell asleep.
