Chapter 233

• Ryan sighed again before continuing. "We had some differences and I blurted out all my frustration to her that day about how she is not giving me time and was always busy with you two brats and that's why I am focused on business more. She asked me multiple times to quit the work because she was disgusted with it but I never agreed. The bastard told her many lies about how I killed innocent people, children even…all lies!" Ryan gritted out as he went to the memory lane.
• "One day when I came home. You and Ralph were sleeping. I thought it was my lucky day. You won't be disturbing us but what I heard that day stripped land under my shoes. She was talking with Chandler over the phone. Asking him for help because she will not be leaving without you and your brother and she wanted a promise that I will not be getting a long prison sentence. I was stunned that day. I loved her and she was stabbing me in the back. The next day I pretended to be normal and told her that I was going out for some work. She said goodbye to me like always, only to leave me. She gave off to the household staff and that bastard came to my house. She was crying, telling him how much she loved me but she was doing it for my betterment. And then he hugged my wife in my house. That was the last thing I needed to see, I walked out of the secret room I was hiding and caught him. Penny begged me to leave him but I didn't listen. My men took him to the basement and I punished your mother. I couldn't kill her, I was too weak for that, I did worse than that I stripped her off her children. I snatched her rights as my wife. The only thing I wanted to do with her was punish her. Ethan asked for my help in catching the Mexicans who killed his wife and I asked for a favor from him. Your mother was held captive all the while there in Churchill. You and Ralph asked me where she was, I didn't have any answer to it but when you said mom ran away, you heard a phone call. I didn't deny it and told you that I killed her…"
• Liam's eyes turned dark. It was all a lie. His childhood, teenage years, all the while he believed in a lie about his mother. "So that's why you used to go to Churchill every now and then. It was not business, it was because of her…" he chuckled.
