Chapter 8

Author: Jade Grove
I tossed her aside like a dead dog.

My parents and Atticus had long gone into hiding. Unfortunately for them, this mansion had only one exit.

There used to be a back door, but to punish my brother and me—and out of fear that we might escape—they had welded it shut with their own hands long ago.

I picked up a gasoline canister and doused the entire mansion.

Click.

The lit lighter dropped, and towering flames shot into the sky.

Before long, a few figures draped in wet blankets came scramblin

    Upon hearing this, Seraphina’s icy gaze froze on my face.A second later, her grip loosened.Thud!Losing his balance, Atticus crashed heavily onto the ground.She strode toward me and grabbed me firmly by the shoulders, her voice trembling with emotion.“Lysander... is it really you? I’ve been looking for you for so long!“After escaping the asylum, I was sent to an orphanage before the Davenport family took me abroad... I went back to find you, but they only said you had been sent back home!”When Seraphina was young, she had been sold by human traffickers into the mountains, where the family beat and verbally abused her after having a biological son of their own.When she was sixteen, her adoptive parents even tried to force her to become their son’s child bride…She fought with everything she had to escape, covered in injuries as she climbed over the wall of the mental asylum.I was the one who hid her in the dormitory attic and gave her all the money I had on me.That n

    I tossed her aside like a dead dog.My parents and Atticus had long gone into hiding. Unfortunately for them, this mansion had only one exit.There used to be a back door, but to punish my brother and me—and out of fear that we might escape—they had welded it shut with their own hands long ago.I picked up a gasoline canister and doused the entire mansion.Click.The lit lighter dropped, and towering flames shot into the sky.Before long, a few figures draped in wet blankets came scrambling out on all fours.I stood quietly in the courtyard, waiting for them.The judgment was far from over.The moment my father’s obese figure emerged, I flipped him to the ground with a single slap.I dragged his heavy, pig-like body into the courtyard and strung him up beneath the persimmon tree, leaving him dangling there.He roared in rage. “How dare you lay a hand on your own father! If I’d known you’d turn out like this, I should’ve smothered you in your cradle!”I turned a deaf ear, tu

    Atticus shrieked in a high-pitched roar, “He’s lying! That bastard Lysander is framing me! Cassandra, you have to believe me!”Cassandra’s brows knitted tightly, but she let out a sigh. “Atticus, of course I believe you.”Just as Atticus’s tense shoulders relaxed, the man on the ground struggled to lift his head, shouting with every last bit of strength, “I swear... every word is true! May lightning strike me down if there’s a single lie!”“Shut up!” Atticus violently kicked him right in the temple.With a dull thud, the man was knocked out cold on the spot.Cassandra staggered back half a step, shocked by this sudden display of cruelty.The man with the contorted face in front of her was like a completely different person from the gentle, kindhearted Atticus of her memories.I watched coldly, scoffing in my heart. This hideously violent face was merely the tip of an iceberg she had never seen before.Watching them tear each other apart, and looking back at the so-called parent

    I let out a cold sneer. “You think you’re worthy of being called ‘parents’?”My mother spread her arms, blocking me with a trembling voice.“Lysander! No matter what they’ve done, they’re still your family! If you insist on doing this, you’ll have to step over my dead body first!”I stared at her and actually burst into laughter. “I only have one question for you. Were Roman and I actually born from your own womb?”“Of course you came from my own flesh and blood!” She snapped back as if stung. “You ungrateful brat, are you trying to splash dirt on me too?!”I threw my head back, tears mixing with streaks of blood sliding down my face, my voice hoarse.“Then why do you shower an adopted son with endless affection while treating us like sworn enemies—wishing we were dead?!”Her throat caught, her face instantly draining of all color as she stammered, “B-Because Atticus is sensible and caring! Unlike you two, who never knew how to appreciate my struggles…”I let out a bitter laugh

    First to face my wrath were those people who had just tried to humiliate my brother and me.Atticus’s close friends cowered behind those women, screaming curses at me:“Lysander Montgomery, you’ve completely lost your mind! The second you get back, you smash your own family’s front gates—if word of this gets out, do you think the Vaughn family would ever want a lunatic like you?”He shoved those women forward. “What are you waiting for? He’s all yours! Even if you play him to death, the Montgomery family will cover for you!”My father turned his face away in disgust, as if even looking at me for another second was beneath him.“Look at this pathetic excuse of a human being! The moment you set foot in this house, you bring nothing but trouble!”He turned around, shielding Atticus as he ushered him inside. “Atticus, don’t look. You don’t need to see this.”Cassandra stood by as a cold observer, looking at me as if I were already a dead man—never bothering to wonder how I had manag

    A few heavy-set women approached with cruel sneers, their dirty eyes scanning over me.“A pretty boy fresh out of the mental hospital—must have been trained like a dog in there by now, right? Just in time for us to inspect the goods!”“Come on, use whatever ‘manners’ you learned in that place to serve us well!”Those vile, disgusting words instantly dragged me back to the five years of pure hell I had endured.I had fought with everything I had just to crawl out of that nightmare, and now they wanted to push me back in!“The one in his arms looks like he isn’t breathing anymore? Perfect, a few of the ladies in the back love playing with ones that can’t move.”Hearing them dare to use my brother for their sick pleasure, the last thread of my sanity snapped completely.These monsters were blocking the car door. Every single second they wasted was snuffing out the last ember of Roman’s life.Since you refuse to move, you can pay for it with your lives!SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!I raised
