As soon as Caleb walked away, she dropped the gentle facade and forced me into the corner.
Her voice was low, like a snake hissing.
“Do you know why I hit your father? Because he deserved it. Who told him to show off in front of me? Caleb belongs to me. Even if he marries you, he is still mine. Your father deserved what happened.”
I couldn’t help but throw a punch, but my body was covered in injuries. I was no match for her.
In an instant, she had me pinned to the ground.
She stepped on my chest and leaned down, her lips brushing my ear.
“If you insist on being disobedient, I’ll make sure you learn your lesson. Your father died in prison because of you.”
I struggled and raked my nails across her ankle, leaving a deep scratch.
Seeing Caleb about to come out, Heidi immediately clutched her forehead and let herself collapse onto the floor as if she had been shoved.
Caleb saw her fall, and the bowl in his hand shattered against the ground with a sharp crack that tore through the air.
He rushed toward us, screaming, his fury twisting his face into something monstrous.
