Chapter 5 Chased Out
- It's been a week since Hopper proposed to Sasha, and since then, the house has become a living hell for Bryan. Not only did Sasha betray him by having an affair with his brother, but she also moved into the house with them. To make matters worse, she joined them in making his life miserable.
- Bryan sat outside to wash all the family's clothes without the help of the washing machine, as part of his punishment for punching Hopper in the face. As he was washing, suddenly, a brand new car he hadn't seen before drove in and parked. He curiously stared to know who the stranger was, but suddenly got clouded in gloom when he saw Sasha and two of her friends exiting the car. God, they were damn beautiful with glowing skin, radiating in the sunlight.
- 'How did she get a car?' he asked himself as he lowered his head and continued washing, but his answer came shortly with an insult.
- "Hey pauper..." she greeted with an insult as she sauntered into the house together with her friends, and they all laughed at him. Bryan ignored them and continued with the clothes but got angry when she came out of the house with some clothes and threw them on his body.
- "Wash those clothes for me, please," she said, chewing gum.
- "What? I should wash your clothes for you? Why would I even do that?"
- "Because I am now the wife-to-be of one of the most important men in town, and your stay in this house is now by my mercy," she said, touching her nails while her friends laughed.
- "What is wrong with you, for God's sake? What have I ever done to deserve this from you? You know I'm not really well-off in this family, but I tried to give you whatever you wanted with the little money I earned, and you still had to leave me because I couldn't get you a jewelry that cost thousands of dollars? Or lodge you in a stupid five-star hotel? What kind of human being are you?"
- "The type that is wise enough not to associate herself with a failure like you. I mean, Hopper has given me everything I wanted in life. He bought me a car," she said, swinging the car key to his face, "and also lodged me in the five-star hotel in town. Somewhere broke guys like you call stupid!"
- "But at least I tried my best. I saved the little money I was given just to get you the best gown that you needed, even if it wasn't that expensive. What else did you want from me?" he asked, staring at her.
- "Oh, you mean that fake gown? Don't worry. Trisha? Please go get it for me," she signaled to one of her friends, who went into the room and shortly came out with the gown.
- "This is the gown you were talking about, right?"
- "Yeah, of course," he nodded with a smile, as the gown brought him sweet memories of how he sacrificed everything just to get it for her. But Sasha suddenly shredded it apart.
- "Why would you do that?!" His face clouded in disappointment while she smiled mischievously"Because it's fake, and I don't wear fake things, especially now that I have Hopper as a husband, not a failure like you, right girls?" she said and turned to her friends.
- "Right, babe!" they responded and laughed, while Bryan stood up to his feet angrily.
- "You know what... I loved you and did everything I could for you, but I think the reason you left me was because you're just greedy. Yes, you are greedy. You are just a gold digger who is after a man's wealth..."
- "How dare you call me that!" Sasha got infuriated and suddenly slapped him on the cheek, leaving him dumbfounded. "Are you stupid? Oh, you really think we are still mates, right?"
- "What? You slapped me? Has it come to this? After everything I have done for you..." He was shocked as tears welled up in his eyes. Not only did she tear the gown that he deprived himself of pleasure just to get, but she also slapped him for the third time, a girl he respected and did everything for.
- "Yes, I did, and I will do it again if you speak to me in such a manner again, you loser!" she insulted, and Bryan's emotional state suddenly turned to rage.
- "Don't you dare call me a loser again in your life!" he warned, pointing a finger at her.
- "Or what? What are you gonna do, hit me? Come on, do it, loser. Or isn't he a loser?" Her already angry friends joined her in calling him a loser, which infuriated him, and he raised his hand to hit her but controlled himself and kept his hand to his side. "Don't make me hit you, because you won't like it!" he blurted, and Sasha fell to the ground and began screaming.
- "Ouchhh! My face, help... help... help..." Her screaming brought the attention of Hopper, who came running out of the house with two muscular bodyguards in pajamas and sneakers.
- "What is happening here?" Hopper asked angrily as he saw Sasha crying.
- "Help me, dear, Bryan here slapped me and also tried to rape me..." she mewed, giving Bryan another shock.
- "What..." Bryan opened his mouth in awe. He tried defending himself, but no one allowed him to as Sasha's friends made it even more difficult for him by bearing false witness, claiming he wanted to rape her.
- "How dare you beat my fiancée up all because of your selfish sexual desires?"
- "I didn't..."
- "Is there a problem here?" Bryan was about to explain himself when Mrs. Pheona padded out quickly as things were about to get messy.
- "Mom, Bryan tried to rape Sasha!"
- "What???" Mrs. Pheona screamed.
- "What do you want them to do to him, baby?" Hopper asked Sasha, who was still sitting on the ground, weeping, and her request got Bryan tensed up.
- "I want these two guys to beat him up so well before he gets thrown out of the house today. I don't want to see him anymore!" she howled.
- "What? Beating again... What have I done? I didn't even hit you. Why are you doing this to me?" Bryan asked sympathetically and was surprised how his own family granted her wish as the muscular men lay him to the ground in front of everyone and gave him the beating of his life while they all watched and got entertained—even while he was bleeding. But that wasn't the worst of it all. The shocker to him was that Sasha and her friends were laughing at him and calling him a weakling until he almost passed out.
- "Come on, stand up like a man and fight, you weakling," she would say as they landed whips on his bare back while he bled until Mrs. Pheona, who was enjoying the whole scene, asked them to spare his life.
- "I have had enough, it's okay... that should teach him a lesson," she said and signaled some guys who went inside and brought his bags immediately.
- "That's your bag. Take it and get the hell out of my house. I never want to see you here again," she ordered.
- "But this isn't all my clothes. What about the rest?" Bryan asked as he struggled to stand to his feet.
- "Get out of the house right now. You have nothing here but rags. This family got you most of the clothes, and it's our choice to seize them now," Hopper blurted.
- He gently took his bags and turned to leave. He had no place to go but the house of his college friends. They were the only ones who could accept him now and not mock him for being kicked out from a home of billionaires. The whole family was laughing at him while he was walking away until Mrs. Pheona suddenly called him.
- "Bryan, wait..." she said, and he turned back to her. Everyone became calm and wondered why she did that when they suddenly saw Mr. Greg open up an abandoned garage that had been locked since Mr. Jing died and drove out a really old cab.
- "That's your father's possession. Take it and get the hell out of here," Mrs. Pheona said, and Mr. Greg threw the car keys to Bryan, who was now really confused.
- "Who's father are you talking about, Mom? 'Cause Dad doesn't own this kind of car," Hopper asked in disbelief.
- "I wasn't talking about my husband, dear. I was talking about his own biological father."
- "My biological dad? How do you know him? I thought you guys told me that I was adopted from the orphanage at age 1?" Bryan asked curiously while everyone turned to Mrs. Pheona in confusion, waiting for her to answer the question, but she remained silent.
