Two Years Later

It had only been ten minutes since Ashley and Tony had parted ways at the coffee shop. It had only taken her that long to make it all the way to the other side of the city, placing herself on her fathers door steps in what had to be some sort of land speed record. She was shaking she was so angry. If she didn’t get answers she was pretty sure she was going to kill daddy dearest. Hell she should probably just kill him anyway, a prison cell couldn’t possibly be worse the Hell she was currently living in.

She beat her fists into the front door with as much force and anger as her body possessed. Knowing full well that it would piss off her Father enough that he was sure to answer the door.

As predicted he yanked the door open with force and glared down at her with an intense hatred. ‘Like only a Father can.’ She thought.

She shoved passed him not bothering to wait for an invitation.

“What the fuck do you think your doing?” he asked grabbing her roughly by the arm and yanking her to face him.

Before she had a chance to speak a half dressed woman who looked to actually be a few years younger then herself appeared from the hall in the beginning state of undress.

“Raife, are you gonna be long I’m getting lonely.” It didn’t even seem to faze the girl that there was now someone else in the house.

“Beat it Barbie,” Ashley stated with venom, “go dig for gold else where.”

“Raife are you going to let her talk to me like that.”

Raife Davies was actually amused by his daughter’s sudden unexpected display of backbone.

“Out.” He said to the girl without even bothering to look in her direction.

The girl huffed into the next room grabbing her stuff and storming out the front door.

The door had barely slammed shut before Ashley teeth clenched started to question her father.

“How long have you known?” He smiled in response to her question and started walking away from her toward the living room.
