Burning For My Husband's Son
That’s what I was currently experiencing: the only man I’d ever loved broke me like this.
“I won’t let you do this, Dad. You cannot do this,” I screamed, ignoring the numerous eyes in my father’s office. This place used to be a haven for me. But not right now. Right now, I was pissed, angry and broken.
Fuck, how could he?
“Mind your tone, Veda,” my father seethed.
“No, I wo–”
The harsh sound of skin meeting skin cut me off, and it wasn’t until I felt blood pooling in my mouth that I realised I’d been slapped. I turned to the culprit, and it was my stepmother. A broken laugh escaped my lips as tears ran down my cheeks.
