Unrivaled Warrior novel Chapter 3

Calvin collapsed on the ground, coughing up blood. Lucian relentlessly continued his assault, his fists pummeling the helpless man.

One...

Two...

Three...

Calvin pleaded for mercy, but Lucian, consumed by rage, ignored his pleas. Only when Calvin lost consciousness did Lucian finally stop.

"Freya... Minnie..."

Lucian glanced at the mother and daughter, his fists stained with blood, panting heavily.

He trembled at the hatred in Minnie's eyes, feeling remorseful but unsure of what to do.

"Let's go, Minnie," Freya said to her daughter, not wanting to look at Lucian any longer.

"Okay," Minnie nodded, using all her strength to help her mother back into her wheelchair.

Without hesitation, Lucian rushed to assist Freya. Her indifferent, mud-covered face broke his heart, and tears streamed down his face.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"I apologize, Fay. You and Minnie have suffered all these years..."

He took out a packet of tissues from his pocket.

"Here. Let me help you."

Gently, he wiped her face. He never could have imagined that the once proud president of the Harrison Group would end up paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair, and barely alive.

Freya remained impassive as he wiped her face, devoid of any emotion.

It was the look of a woman who had given up.

"Hands off my mom," Minnie pushed him away.

Lucian fell back into the muddy pool. His eyes were red-rimmed as he watched his daughter. He picked up a gift he had bought for her and said with a trembling voice, "Come here, sweetheart. Daddy will clean you up too. You have dirt on your face..."

"You are not my father."

Her eyes were calm, despite the burning resentment within them. She spoke as if she were an adult.

"If you are my father, where were you when my mother had a car accident, suffered a brain hemorrhage, and was on the operating table for three days and three nights?"

"If you are my father, where were you when my mother was abandoned by her family and left to fend for herself on the streets with nothing to our names?"

"If you are my father, where were you when Mom was bullied and berated for being disabled?"

I'm so sorry, Freya... Minnie...
