Chapter 5
I came back to the house in a great mood, only to find Dad sitting on the couch with a stormy expression, waiting for me.[]
Quinn actually had a smile for me–rare–but it looked smug as hell.[]
“Dad, I’m home.“]]
Dad didn’t respond. I racked my brain trying to figure out what I’d done wrong.
Had they discovered that I’d been spitting in their cups?]
I glanced at Dad, and when he still didn’t speak, I figured I should make a strategic retreat and get the hell out of there.Д]
Dad hurled the glass in his hand at my feet. It shattered, and tiny shards cut into my flesh.[]
“Oh my, Lincoln, don’t do that! It won’t be good if the child’s face gets hurt.“[]
Meaning it was fine to hurt other parts of me?]
I couldn’t control my emotions anymore and glared at Quinn with pure hatred.]]
Quinn pretended to be scared and shrank behind Dad.[]
SMACK-
Dad slapped me hard across the face, pointing at my nose and roaring: “What the hell was that look?”
“I feed you, I clothe you, but apparently I’ve been raising an ungrateful little bitch! Not only do you take my money, you steal fron my house like some damn rat!“[]
I pressed my tongue against my aching cheek, tasting blood.[]
You could tell how hard Dad had hit me.
I figured out what Dad was pissed about–he must’ve seen me giving money to Mom.]
Time to be smart about this.[]
“Dad, I was wrong.“[]
Dad held out his hand, and I obediently handed over all my remaining money.[]
My compliance didn’t earn me any forgiveness. He tore apart my room and all my belongings, even had Quinn search me to make sure I didn’t have any more money ludden on me before he finally stopped.[]
I was made to kneel as punishunent.
I tried to stay positive thinking that if no known Dad would confiscate the rest of the money anyway, I should’ve just spent it
Chapter 5
After two hours, Dad finally let me get up.[]
My legs wouldn’t straighten anymore. I just lay on the floor, waiting for the numbness to fade before the pain kicked in.[]
It was fine.]
I could handle pain–I was used to it, in my last lifetime.[]
