Chapter 7 Family Argument

  • "This dress is a duplicate of that limited edition dress. Can't you see that?" Rebecca said, showing no expression on her face, looking down at her sister.
  • After what happened yesterday, she does not want to have any relation with such people and does not want to listen to them. She loved her self-respect but was all destroyed by them.
  • Chole gets furious seeing the way she answers.
  • "How does she even dare to talk to me like this?" If dad was not present here now, I would have taught her a good lesson!" She shouted in her mind showing a disdainful face towards her.
  • "Ohh! Are you telling a truth?" She glared at her sharply and threw another question with an evil smile.
  • But before Rebecca could answer her words, Mr. Wilson groaned angrily.
  • "That's Enough!"
  • "No more words!"
  • "But Dad." Chole tried to speak.
  • "Chole! I said no more words!" He angrily glared at her and try to warn her.
  • "Honey, Don't be harsh on Chole. It's all happening because of your favorite daughter." She stood in defense of her daughter and spoke.
  • "So, you mean to say the way Chole is asking questions to her elder sister, is it good?" He stared at his wife angrily.
  • "She's still a child and doesn't understand this but Rebecca is the elder sister. Doesn't she understand that even a single wrong act done by her will affect her younger sister too? Why don't you try to stop her?" Looking at Rebecca, she yelled out in an angry voice.
  • Hearing her words, he stared at his wife and then spoke, "Okay then if both my daughters are making mistakes then I will correct them myself."
  • Mrs.Wilson stared at her husband in disbelief. He was never this angry in the past.
  • First, he turned his head towards Rebecca and said in a strict tone, "Rebecca go and rest in your room but remember from today, don't stay outside at night. And next time I don't want to hear any complaints about you."
  • Rebecca nodded her head.
  • "And Chole…Don't forget she's your elder sister. So never disrespect her or try to raise your voice. I'll never tell you this again so remember it clearly in your mind." Mr. Wilson strictly warned.
  • Mrs.Wilson could not utter any words to hear her husband.
  • Chole greeted her teeth with frustration and left the living room hurriedly.
  • 'How dare she!'
  • 'It all happened because of that bitch. Because of her, dad scolded me so badly for the first time! I will never let her live in peace. Just once let dad go back, then I will teach her a good lesson!' She thought in her mind.
  • Rebecca also leaves the living room in a daze and goes back to her room.
  • After closing the door, she leaned against the door and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.
  • She hugged her knees as tears streamed down her face. She started crying, none stopped. She just sat there, not moving at all. Her heart, her soul, everything is breaking apart.But there is no single person with whom she could share her burden.
  • She is all alone without any love, care, and support. There is nothing left for her. She just thought in her mind. Her sobs slowly increased. She lay there like a destitute on the floor. Curling her body. Her tears started dropping on the floor without gaping. Her lips shivering with loss. She wrapped her hand around her chest like a shield.
  • She quietly cried the whole night.
  • The next morning her eyes opened with the loud sound of knocking.
  • The tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and disappeared. She directly stared at the ceiling of the room with her blurred vision. She felt so lost to see her miserable condition.
  • The knocking on the door didn't stop. The sounds get louder and louder with each second.
  • She struggled to get up but hearing the sounds became louder. She could only struggle to open the door.
  • She opened the door and saw Mrs.Wilson standing in the door.
  • "What the hell were you doing? How long have I been knocking on the door! Your courage has increased a lot to see your father come back! Don't forget that this is my house! I can throw you out of this house!" She shouted at her disdainfully.
  • Since childhood, she had got used to hearing her stepmother's harsh words. So she did not pay attention to her vicious words.
  • "Mother, What is the matter?" She asked in a low voice.
  • She looked at her poor condition and then said in a cold tone, "Look! Nick is coming back from abroad tonight."
  • "Nick?" Suddenly hearing his name, her eyes went blank.
  • She asked with a trembling voice "He…he is coming back?"
  • Hearing her words, Mrs.Wilson raised her eyebrows and looked at her with irritation.
  • "Yes! Did I need to repeat my words? Do you become dumb in one night or what?"
  • She announced glaring at her.
  • Rebecca lost in her thoughts and her body shivered.
  • Seeing no smile on her face to hear about her son's arrival. She became furious.
  • "What? Are you not happy that your half-brother is coming?" She glared at her.
  • "No, it's not like that! " she said in a weak voice without making any eye contact.
  • Mrs. Wilson ignores her uncommon behavior and sneers at her.
  • "Then start doing house chores!! I want everything perfect. My son is coming from abroad. This is not a small thing. Prepare all his favorite dishes and decorate the whole house for his welcoming. There should not be any mistake." She explained everything to her.
  • On the other hand, Rebecca was not paying attention to anything she said.
  • "Remember one more thing, All this work should be done before the arrival of your father and brother. Don't try to show the slightest bit of intelligence in front of them." She warned her.
  • But Rebecca didn't say anything, just stared at the floor which made Mrs.Wilson furious and she shouted at her, "What? You don't want to answer me now?"
  • Listening to her, she came back to her senses and said with trembling lips, "Yes mother! I'll do that!"
  • "Good!" She last time flatly stared at her and then turned back to go.
  • Seeing her left, she closes the door hurriedly.
  • "N...Ni...Nick is coming back!" She slightly quivered at the thought.
