Lahat ng Kabanata ng STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT: Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 236

Mia's POVThe sight of blood on Liam's arm sent white-hot rage coursing through my veins. These men—these monsters I once loved—had actually hurt an innocent person just for being associated with me.How dare they? How fucking dare they attack someone for helping me?"Those bastards," I snarled, helping Liam into my apartment. "Those absolute fucking bastards."Every time I think they can't sink lower, they prove me wrong.My hands shook as I cleaned his wound, fury and guilt warring in my chest. This was my fault. Liam was hurt because of me, because of my toxic connection to those four psychopaths.He was trying to help me, and they attacked him for it."I'm going to make them pay for this," I said, my voice deadly quiet. "I'm going to get justice for what they did to you."Justice. They deserve so much worse than justice."Mia, don't worry about it," Liam said gently, wincing as I applied antiseptic.

Away from my children. Out of my life."Before I break down completely in front of them. Before they see just how much power they still have

Mia's POVI walked out to where my children were still playing, their laughter filling the air like music. The sight of their carefree joy strengthened my resolve about what I needed to do.These moments. I need to treasure these moments before everything changes.Before I have to become the Supreme Luna and leave this simple happiness behind."Hey, my loves," I called out, settling onto the grass beside them. "How would you like to go to the theme park tomorrow?"Like other normal families do. Like I should have been doing all along instead of just surviving.Normal. Such a foreign concept for us.Their reaction was immediate and explosive. Mika dropped her toy and launched herself at me, while Marcus started jumping up and down with excitement."Really, Mama?" Mira asked, her eyes wide with disbelief. "The big one with all the rides?"The big one. Where normal children go with their normal families for normal fun."The biggest one," I confirmed, laughing as Miraz joined the group hu
