"What o anywhere near her?" I asked, punching hiain

"You don’t touch her, you don’t even think about her, or I will fucking end you!"

"Do you knohat she sees in you? Absolutely nothing I gave her a lesson she didn’t like, and she ran straight into the arms of the first boy she came across You knew, froue, and you’ve done nothing but try and drag her down to your level ever since"

I hit hih to shut hih for Sunshine, andabout her not seeing anything in le cell ofto keep her safe and happy I’d leave this life knohat it feels like to belong to another person To belong to her

"What is this sick, fucking obsession you have with her?" Kieran asked, finally breaking his silence

"You know nothing about my fa daughter, so what is she to you?" Kieran shouted He was losing his shit as h his sister

"She’s mine!" Frank screamed "She’s been mine since she was nine years old I waited all this tis"

"What did you just say?" I asked hi touched her Marrying her whiney, miserable bitch of a mother was the only way to keep Emily close,blue You raped her!" I yelled at hiood and pure WithoutI did, I did for her And I didn’t rape her She wanted it! She wanted it so bad Every day she did things to showto tempt hteen After that, she’d be an adult I could have gotten rid of herwould have been fine It was fine until you got your grubby little paws on her"

"You’re a filthy fucking pedophile!" Kier shouted at him

"I never touched her when she was a kid!" he defended himself

"The fact that you even looked at a nine-year-old that way, that you made plans to involve yourself in her life, whether you touched her or not that makes you a pedophile," Kieran threw back at him

But Frank just smiled, and I knew then why E until he had E him there, I went into a couple rooh a feers, I found what I was looking for The kitchen knife in my hand was probably clumsier and less sophisticated than the one he’d used on Eined E safe Always afraid I’d tear this fucking world apart to take that pain away from her but I couldn’t, and it was all this sick fuck’s fault

He laughed as I walked back into the rooot the balls to stab ," I told hi that you won’t get her anyway You’re too fuckin’ stupid to get aithto rot in prison with your own kind, and she’ll be with et to trial By the tiht even have a kid in her belly--" He didn’t get to finish that sentence before I had the knife to his throat

"Con, no!" Kieran called out "We’ll take her and go back to Ireland or to train in America Anywhere away fro Frank, I’d probably have killed hi the knife It wasn’t coh I’d never needed anything else

"No Fucking Balls," he taunted me when I paused

"O’Connell, don’t Please, baby, that’s enough Come home now" I swear to God I could hear Eht here with ht the faint sh to make me think of what she’d say if she was here noanted to end his life so fucking badly Not because I wanted the stain of his passing on ive Em peace Maybe the first peace she’d had since she was nine years old

But I’d be taking away her future Our future Our hoether would all be gone the minute I slit his throat I didn’t want that for her or me Our future was ht now, she’d hold my face, look at me with those beautiful eyes, and tell et here, to win her heart when all the odds were stacked against us I wasn’t blowing it now She needed a betterto Ireland or to Aest you keep your arse this side of the bridge and a long way froh, that at some point, you’ll decide that stupidity overrules reason, and you’ll co, and E our little ‘visit’ to the police because if you do, we’ll be reporting your altercation at the university I’e of you on caainst you and then docuain until the courts start taking this a littlebefore this shit bleeds into your job and you lose that? Then what? Your house, your car? How long you wanna keep playing this ga with! A few quid to the right police contact and that security footage goes the same way as the rape kit"

"How could you possibly have anything to do with the rape kit?" Kieran asked

"The kid who arrestedabout evidence collection or procedure All I needed to do was have a ith a few good friends at the station, grease a few paler for the rape kit Stupid kid thinks he’s helping out, and as soon as he touches that box, the case is dead"
