After a brief pause, Holden reiterated, “You’re not dead, just slightly injured. It’s not that serious.”
Kathryn almost laughed at his dismissive words.
Sure, she wasn’t dead—just “slightly injured.”
But did that change the fact that her brothers had attempted to kill her?
She looked at Holden and questioned, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons but failed, leaving them just ‘slightly injured,’ would you consider it merely a family dispute? Would you ask them to forgive me, refrain from pressing charges, and not send me to prison?”
Holden instinctively replied, “You would have already demonstrated intent to kill. I couldn’t allow you to make the same mistake again. Of course, I would send you to prison for a few years… Kathryn, I’m old. I only have my three sons to rely on in my later years. Do you truly want me to end up alone with no one to care for me?”
Kathryn’s voice turned cold as ice. “Dad, I’ll cover your living expenses. You won’t starve. Even the housekeeper can stay—I’ll pay their wages. Trust me, I want nothing to do with you. But since you are my biological father, I won’t let you die of hunger. I’ll also ask my sisters-in-law to check on you from time to time. If anything urgent arises, they can contact me. If you don’t live long enough to see your sons released from prison and you pass away, I’ll ensure your funeral arrangements are made. I won’t let your body rot and be eaten by stray dogs.”
Holden was left speechless.
Kathryn continued, her voice steady. “My brothers wanted me dead. If Pedro hadn’t called the police in time, I would have been killed. They would have dismembered my body and dumped it in the sea to feed the fish. Dad, do you ever think about me? Am I not your child, too? I’m not a saint. I can’t pretend
Nothing happened. I can’t simply forgive them for attempting to murder me. Regardless of who begs for mercy this time, I won’t let them off the hook. They deserve to be in prison.”
Holden pointed at her, his face twisted with rage. “Kathryn, you’re heartless! You’re unfilial! You’ll be struck by lightning!”
Kathryn’s gaze was icy. “If God believes I’ve done wrong, then let Him strike me down. I’m not afraid. My conscience is clear. But what about you? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
Holden shot back, “One day, you’ll have children of your own. What will you do if they end up like you and your brothers? Kathryn, karma will come for you.”
Kathryn let out a bitter laugh. “Karma? If it exists, let it come. I’m not afraid. Dad, you and my brothers have committed so many terrible acts, yet none of you fear retribution. I’ve never taken an innocent life—so tell me, what should I be afraid of?”
Holden was furious. Why wouldn’t the heavens just strike down this ungrateful daughter?
Kathryn remained unfazed. “Go home, Dad. I will never forgive my brothers. The law will take care of them. They kidnapped me, injured me, and harmed others. They won’t be getting out anytime soon. You should come to terms with that and take care of yourself.”
Holden’s expression darkened. “Fine. I’ll live long enough to see what becomes of you.” With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Kathryn didn’t care. She sat quietly for a few minutes before returning to her room and lying down.
Pain coursed through her body. There was a knife wound on her arm, yet her father hadn’t shown the slightest concern for her. He only cared about pleading for her brothers.
If the roles were reversed, would he have pleaded for her?
No. To her father, she was never his daughter—Shiloh was.
