Chapter 21

The huge mansion stood gigantically against the sky, standing solidly among two other houses in the compound. Michael parked his car in the garage after the garden that surrounded the sides of the mansion. He got down from the car, and automatically it locked behind him.

The streetlights brightened the walkways and long alleys, offering illumination to the darkened Earth.

Michael spared a brief look across the last building, and as usual, a figure stood by one of the open windo

  • He Left Her Broken, She Returned a Weapon   Chapter 103

    Chapter 103Jayson sat awake on his bed, his head bowed over his cellphone. He smiled as he swiped through the pictures he was looking at, grinning from ear to ear. Suddenly, he paused for a while, and then switched off to his contact lists, and m dialled a number. Few minutes later, the other end was connected. "Daisy? Are you awake?" Jayson asked with a smile still on his face. "I am widely awake. If not, I wouldn't have picked your call." Daisy drawled from the other line. Jayson paused, his movements heavy with exhaustion as he gently lowered himself onto the mattress, the springs groaning softly under his weight. He held the phone to his ear, his voice barely a murmur. "Daisy, I want us to stop this. I truly don't like it when we’re at odds like this.""Oh, really?" Daisy’s voice crackled through the speaker, sharp and defensive. "And yet, you never miss an opportunity to prioritize Hannah over me. You defend her every single time I decide to put her in her place."Jayson’s

    Chapter 102Days swung her backpack so hard on the bed that it bounced up and hit the ground. She sat heavily on the bed, and furiously, she pulled off her shoes. It had shocked her so much that her father had yelled at her. She didn't expect him to do that. It was the first time he was raising his voice so much on her, and it had taken her by surprise. "Daisy, open this door—right now."Davey’s voice cut through the silence of the hallway, sharp and demanding. The doorknob rattled violently under his grip, but Daisy had already engaged the deadlock, rendering his efforts futile."I’m not opening it, Dad. Leave me alone!" Daisy cried out, hot tears streaming down her face. Her voice was thick with the petulance of a young woman who had rarely heard the word 'no' in her life; she had never bothered to temper her entitlement, and in this moment, it was on full, ugly display.Davey’s rhythmic pounding against the wood grew heavy and insistent, but Daisy remained unmoved, huddled in the

  • He Left Her Broken, She Returned a Weapon   Chapter 101

    Chapter 101The room was a little dark with the air filled with disinfectant and antiseptics. On the bed was Arlan, sleeping and snoring lightly. The door suddenly opened, and Violet walked in, carrying a tray with her. "Dad? Wake up, I brought you your evening pills. You have to stop being so stubborn and take the goddamn medicine." Violet spoke as she walked in.Arlan shuffled slightly on the bed, and turned to look at his daughter with a warm smile on his wrinkled face. He has finally lost touch of his youthfulness, but Arlan was still as charming as he had always been."I don't need pills anymore, darling. All I need is a good rest always before I finally die." Violet rolled her eyes as she walked towards the windows, and lifted the blinds. "Dad, you've been talking about dying since eleven years now. You're incredibly strong, and you're going noegete for now. You're going to be a hundred and twenty years before you finally pass. Trust me." Arlan chuckled in deep breath as he g

  • He Left Her Broken, She Returned a Weapon   Chapter 100 The Price of Vengeance

    Chapter 100 (Part 2—The Price of Vengeance)The car pulled in front of Mallory's house, and Daisy stepped out, taking her bag with her. She then turned to look at Sam, before giving him a little nod. "Are you going to stay in the car? You should come in, because I'm really going to stay long here at grandma's house." "I'm okay right here in the car, Daisy. Just go get your business done, and let's leave already." Sam replied. Daisy shrugged, looking away. "If that's what you want, then that's what you get."Why must you make everything so difficult, Daisy?" Samuel asked abruptly, his voice tinged with a weariness that cut through the silence just as Daisy prepared to exit the vehicle and head toward the building opposite them.Daisy turned, her movements fluid and deliberate. She fixed Samuel with an expression of performative innocence, her wide, guileless eyes masking a sharper, more calculating intent. "I have no idea what you’re referring to, Samuel. And frankly, you would do

  • He Left Her Broken, She Returned a Weapon   Chapter 99

    Chapter 99"She didn't come with you?" Suzanne asked as soon as Jayson stepped into that house. He shook his head with an apologetic look on his face. "I really tried to make her come. But she's just very stubborn." Michael joined them in the living room, and planted a soft kiss on Suzanne's lips. "You look tired, Su. You should rest." "I've been cooking," Suzanne replied with a sigh, "but that brat has refused to show up. I don't want to go over to Davey's house. I don't want to see that family." "I think she might go to her grandma's house, though. I overheard her saying she wasn't going home after school. I tried to make her come here, but..." "It's okay, my love. I know you've tried your best." Suzanne cut in softly before turning to look at Michael. "You should head back to the office then. You don't want to miss the new investors." "I will see you guys when I return...""Dad!" A voice called from the stairs. Michael turned at the sound of frantic footsteps, his expression

  • He Left Her Broken, She Returned a Weapon   Chapter 98

    Chapter 98 After school hours, Daisy waited by the entrance, her face mask of anger. She had seen what Jayson had done to Pillar, and it had infuriated her so much. Finally, she saw Jayson walking out with Hannah, and quickly stepped on their way. "Hey, what's with you?" Hannah voiced out, almost tripping. "Shut it, Hannah. I'm not here for you," Daisy shunned, and turned to look at Jayson, "what happened between you and Pillar? What did you do to him?" Calmly, Jayson stared at Daisy, and slowly, he smiled after a short while. "You asked tow questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?" "Can we go, Jayson? She's clearly not in a good mood." Hannah whispered close to Jayson's ear. Ever since she got close to Jayson, she'd gotten nothing but cold attitude from Daisy. "Can you excuse us? I want to talk to Jayson. Alone." "Fine." Hannah snapped, turned, and left. Jayson leaned heavily against the brick wall, his hands thrust deep into his pockets as he anchored

    Chapter 14"Do you want to make a little side cash real quick?" Nathan whispered into Naomi's ear from behind. She jumped, almost spilling the coffee she was fetching. "My God! Stop doing that!" She hissed. Nathan looked around the kitchen, glad they were all alone. "I'm not joking. Do you wanna

    Chapter 13 Suzanne had never been so perplexed all her life. She found it very hard to believe, but she knew it was true. Arlan would not lie against Leah. "How did she do it?" She asked softly, her voice filled with pain for the old man. "It happened early hours of the morning. Two weeks ag

    Chapter 12 "Answer me, Clarissa!" Leah questioned once more, loudly this time. "Yes," Clarissa whispered her reply, lowering her gaze. "What the hell? I don't get it. You have a son...and you're to marry my son? What happens to your son over there? Did you abandon him? What sort of a mother

    Chapter 11"I'm a broken woman, Michael. There's nothing to like about me." Suzanne replied, look away. "Everyone is broken in their own way, Suzanne. You're not the first to be broken, and won't be the last." Michael replied casually. "If you're going to support me just because you're beginning
