Hypocrisy

Not long after my wife and I got married, my mother-in-law unexpectedly had another child, a son. The entire family treated him like a miracle and let him get away with everything. Before long, he became an unbearable little monster. When he was ten, he pulled up a girl's skirt at school and yanked down her shorts. I confronted him about it, but my wife immediately turned on me. "He's my brother, not your son. What makes you think you have the right to discipline him?" I kept my anger to myself and moved out with our daughter, who had been growing more withdrawn by the day. Years later, the spoiled boy shoved a woman who was eight months pregnant down a flight of stairs. My wife called me in a panic and begged me to help him. All I wanted to tell her was that he was finally facing the consequences of his actions. Never did I imagine he could sink even lower...

Chapter 1
I was in the middle of presenting the quarterly report in the conference room when my phone started buzzing nonstop on the table.I signaled for my assistant to take it outside, forced myself to finish the presentation, then hurried out to check it.Sure enough, it was my wife, Madison Conner. Seven missed calls and a flood of messages packed with exclamation points filled the screen. My chest tightened with every one I read.I found a quiet corner of the office and called her back.To my surprise, she didn't start yelling. She just sounded worn out."What took you so long? I already handled everything. I swear, whenever I actually need you, you're nowhere to be found."I ignored the dig and asked what had happened.She sighed impatiently."What do you think? Simon. That kid gets worse every day. "During gym class, he lifted a girl's skirt and tried to pull down her shorts. Her mom was at the school for something and happened to still be there. She saw the whole thing from

Grace was sitting closest to me. She clearly heard what I said, because she glanced up at me."Simon got out of school early today. He came home starving and couldn't wait for you to get back and make dinner, so I had Andrew cook a few things."She leaned around me to look at the dining table."He hasn't cooked in ages, so I guess he didn't make enough. There should be enough left on the plates to hold you over. If there isn't, there's some snacks in the pantry. There's no point making a whole meal for one person."I forced a smile. "Alright. Go back to your game."The hunger gnawing at my stomach vanished. I rolled up my sleeves, cleared the table, and started washing the dishes.Madison must have heard the water running, because she came out of the bedroom eating an apple.Still thinking about what Simon had done, I turned to her. "Did you tell your parents what happened at school? Didn't they punish him?""I told them. They talked to him."I grabbed a dish towel and dried m

The next day was Saturday. Zoe and Simon had activities that afternoon, and I wanted Madison to sleep in, so I got up quietly and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. I made oatmeal, scrambled some eggs, cut up fresh fruit, and warmed a batch of cinnamon rolls. I followed nearly the same routine for close to ten years. By then, I could have done it in my sleep.After setting everything on the table, I checked the time. Grace and Andrew would be back from their morning walk soon, so I went to Madison's room to wake her.For the past three years, Madison had rarely slept in the same room as Zoe and me. Most nights, she slept beside Simon instead.Simon originally shared a room with Grace, but he tossed and turned all night and constantly kicked off his covers. Grace complained that she already had enough trouble sleeping without waking up every hour to tuck him back in. Eventually, she said she couldn't take it anymore.Madison volunteered to sleep with Simon ins

Madison stormed over as well."Peter, you hit Simon and attacked my mom? Have you completely lost your mind?"I let out a bitter laugh and pointed at Simon, who was still throwing a fit on the floor. "Ask him what he did."Simon ignored me. He clung to Andrew's pant leg and kept screaming, "Hit him! Hit him! Kill him!"I scoffed and looked at all three of them."Fine. If he won't tell you, I will. "He climbed into Zoe's bed this morning and tried to pull down her shorts. If I'd gotten there a minute later, God only knows what he might've done to my daughter. "Is that serious enough for you? Did he deserve to be punished?"Then I pointed at Madison."You're her mother. You tell me. Did he deserve it?"Madison had never seen me this furious. Her lips parted, but she couldn't bring herself to answer.Simon, who had been kicking and screaming on the floor, suddenly jumped up and came at me. Before I could react, he sank his teeth into my arm.He bit down as hard as he could,

Grace's face went from red to pale. Madison quickly stepped in to calm things down."Peter, come on. Mom only said that because she didn't want you to leave. She was trying to scare you, and you actually took her seriously. You really don't know how to take a joke. Alright, enough. It's over. I'll talk to Simon again later. That kid never listens."As she spoke, she reached into the suitcase and started putting the clothes back, but I stopped her."Madison, I've already made up my mind. I told you a long time ago that I wanted us to move out, and you refused. I'm not backing down this time. Even if nothing had happened to Zoe today, I still wouldn't stay in this house any longer."Andrew slammed the end of his wooden practice sword against the floor."Let him go! Let's see how long he lasts on his own!"-With help from a coworker, I quickly found an apartment. It was a brand-new, fully furnished two-bedroom with a bright, spacious living room.Best of all, the landlord, Vane

Chapter 6
Six months after Madison and I got married, Grace announced that she was three months pregnant, almost two months further along than Madison. I was too stunned to speak.At first, Madison couldn't accept it either. She tried to talk her mother out of having the baby, but Grace immediately burst into tears. "I always wanted another child, but I never got the chance. Now I finally do. Your father has always wanted a son to carry on the family name. How can I take that away from him?"To win Madison over, Grace even promised to put a two-story rental property in our names.In the end, Madison accepted it, though none of us knew whether the pregnancy would turn out to be a blessing or a disaster.From that point on, I became the busiest person in the house. I cooked, did the laundry, and took care of nearly every household chore. No matter how exhausted I was after work, I came home to another full shift.The first woman I ever cared for while she recovered from childbirth wasn'

Chapter 7
Once Zoe was settled in, I applied for a transfer at work. Just like that, I went from managing the after-sales department to working as a sales rep.I wanted to give one last push for the future Zoe and I deserved.For two months, we had been living on our own. Between work and taking care of Zoe, I had gone from barely holding everything together to managing it all with ease. I felt more motivated than ever and genuinely hopeful about the future.In those two months, Madison didn't visit Zoe once. I knew she was waiting me out, convinced I would eventually give in and come back.During those quiet hours late at night, I often found myself thinking about our marriage and the part Madison really played in our lives over the past ten years.In the beginning, she gave me warmth and a sense of belonging. She also gave me Zoe. Beyond that, there was nothing but coldness and disappointment.Madison never offered a single word of comfort when I was exhausted and overwhelmed. She neve

I was so furious that I slammed my fist into a concrete column outside the hospital and cursed."What the hell are they thinking, hiding him at a time like this? Shouldn't that little monster be here begging the family for forgiveness? How many times does he have to cross the line before any of you understand how serious this is?! "This isn't mischief. It isn't acting out. He's cruel, and what he did was a crime!"Madison was already on the verge of falling apart. The moment I raised my voice, she burst into tears, drawing stares from everyone nearby. I ignored her and hurried toward the operating room.A crowd had gathered outside. I pushed my way through and found Andrew pleading desperately with the pregnant woman's family."He's just a child. He didn't understand what he was doing. Please, find it in your hearts to forgive him this once."A man who appeared to be the woman's husband shoved Andrew hard in the chest."Listen to me, old man! You'd better pray my wife and bab

The pregnant woman fell down about 13 steps and went into shock.Terrified, Andrew called 911, then ordered Grace to take Simon somewhere and hide him. He told them not to come back or show their faces under any circumstances.I sighed, pulled out my phone, and called Vanessa. After briefly explaining what had happened, I asked her to keep an eye on Zoe because I might not make it home that night.Vanessa agreed without hesitation and told me to take care of whatever I needed to without worrying about Zoe.A wave of gratitude washed over me, and I thanked her sincerely.-Every minute we spent waiting outside the operating room felt unbearable. The pregnant woman's mother tried several times to lunge at Andrew, but the others held her back. Eventually, she collapsed into a chair, wiping away her tears as she cursed him."Why did you insist on having another child at your age? If you were going to have him, then you should've raised him properly! You should've taught him right

I stood in the doorway and refused to let Madison inside.For once, she pulled a hair clip from her purse and called into the apartment, "Zoe, it's me! I brought you a pretty hair clip. Come see!"Zoe sat in the living room with her back to Madison, quietly drawing. She didn't even turn around.Madison's expression darkened. "You're unbelievable! Have you been turning Zoe against me and teaching her not to see me as her mother?"I let out a cold laugh."So you do remember you're her mother. "How many times have you actually held her since she was born? You stopped breastfeeding her when she was two months old so you could take care of Simon instead. Some mother you are!"Have you ever trimmed her nails? Braided her hair? Did you even know she once had a cavity so painful she couldn't sleep? "When she was in the hospital with pneumonia and the other kids cried for their mothers during their shots, did you ever notice the way she watched them?"You don't deserve to call yourse
