He shakes his head vigorously "They didn't talk to me I swear it If they knew about the will, it was from Candace She knows I left half to JT"
"So yourMother knows nothing of it, right?" The condescension is thick on ue
My dad deflates "I' to tell herat some point I'm just not sure how"
"Here's a clue, Dad," I mock him "She already knows Trust me on that"
My dad's jaw drops open and I can't help but wonder how he could be that ignorant after all these years
"Onewith pain and a need forhas JT known?"
I need to know this It's so fucking important I know this
"Candace told hi lost Utterly defeated
Rage spikes within me
I thought I was past JT and his evil ways I thought I was starting to find some peace with it now that he was dead
But knowing that fucking evil son of a bitch knew Caroline was his half sister and still raped her anywayI want to juround, rip that son of a bitch out of there, and repeatedly stab hiain I want to dismember him
Mutilate him
Obliterate him
I'm so overwhelmed with hatred for that ht I turn away and start stalking towardto find so poison from my life with that conversation with my dad
"I'ates her way through the city I' me back to the condo, as I really had no desire to listen to Beck have it out with his dad By hi revealed the full truth to his son, he made him look at the least a fool--at the worst ahim be blindsided by the cops The fucker should have told Beck the cops were asking about it That would have given Beck a better opportunity to be able to address those motive concerns by the police
"So what do you think your brother and dad are talking about?" I ask curiously froer seat Caroline drives a late-ood condition, but certainly not the car of a daughter of ive two fucks about losing out on all that money One of the reasons I like her so much
"Well, I suppose the conversation will be short and to the point Beck won't entertain discussion about our mother Once he draws the line in the sand, he stays on his side"
I nod, because I also suspect this is true, and it makes this line of conversation dead Caroline has no clue about JT's relation to her dad or that she's been cut out of the will to make room for the bastard son She has no clue that Beck intends to squeeze the truth out of his dad once and for all about who knohat
But again, Caroline doesn't know that She will one day when Beck is ready to give her the full truth, but I don't see that happening anytiure out the issue with the DNA
Last night Beck and I talkedshowed interest in Beck's relationship with Dennis after he becaly that ouldn't call Dennis about the DNA issue He will happily stay ignorant drinking beer in Ireland and fishing off the coast of Panama none the wiser Hopefully this will all have died down by the time he comes back
However, we're not going to wait to start on the DNA It's eating at both of us with the need to know, and it's also delaying us in telling Caroline the truth So I'ated er any suspicions for asking
At least we hope that doesn't occur
"Did you read the paper today?" Caroline asks me
I nod glu national news, given the controversial nature of The Sugar Bowl So not only were the entertain it carefully With the h-profile business to pounce once a break in the investigation occurred
"I can't stand to see the speculation about Beck," I tell her While it hasn't been prolific, attention has been called to the fact that Beck was asked to give a formal statement to the police In the neorld, they practically translate that into a conviction, and I' up While we tried really hard to ignore it yesterday, I couldn't help but surf the Net, devouring any news I could find to see what the public opinion was, but equally hatingit
Beck kept a lackadaisical attitude about it, but stillI know it has to be weighing on him a bit
"Listen," Caroline says in a tone that indicates she's getting ready to lay some serious wisdom on me "Beck's been in the public eye his entire professional life He's got the backbone for it A littleto hurt hiar Bowl Sort of like free "
I snort "Way to make lemonade out of lemons"
