Chapter 32: Bad ending for the bad guys
With a heavy mood, the body loses its vitality. Emma finally made it to the apartment – where she was staying, to hide from the public and herself. As soon as Emma opened the door to enter the house, there was a surprise for her.
The quiet space suddenly resounded with a familiar, creepy voice all over.
“Emma Susan. Where did you go now?”
Emma looked at the owner of the voice, startled to find it was her mother. She was looking at her with fiery murderous intent. Obviously, Emma’s mother is very angry.
Did your mother know about it? Emma wondered anxiously, then subconsciously gulped in fear. Then, trying to get her spirits up, she spoke up. The goal is to distract the opponent.
“Is mom back?” Emma pretended to ask, avoiding suspicion: “Didn’t I say that the journey will not end until the end of next week?”
“I’m not interested in having fun anymore, so I decided to leave early.”
“That’s it. When will you come back? Why didn’t you tell me an hour in advance.” Emma kept asking questions to distract her mother from paying attention to her.
“I just got off the airport and went home right away.”
“Mummy must be tired from the road. Go to the bathroom, and take a rest. I’ll prepare dinner. I’ll wake you up when I’m done.” Emma evaded the subject again. Emma could be seen wanting to bury what had happened.
“No need.” The woman categorically refused Emma’s arrangement.
“But you should…” Emma suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say, when she caught a dangerous look on her face.
“Why are you at my house?” It was Emma’s mother’s turn to ask, her frank attitude making Emma restless: “You’re not married. You should stay at your house, and take care of your husband. Why don’t you come here all of a sudden?”
“What are you saying is weird. This is my house, too.” Emma hesitated to reason: “Why can’t I be here? Besides, I just got here.”
“Which house is yours?” The elderly woman growled, signaling to dismiss Emma: “You hurry out of here. It’s time for you to stay at home, and prepare dinner for your husband to eat when he comes home from work.”
“Mom, I’ll be here temporarily.” Emma courageously said. Then she blatantly went to the kitchen, to put the items she had just bought at the supermarket in the refrigerator.
“Reason?” The mother crossed her arms, looking displeased.
“My husband is on a business trip.” Emma just arranged the food in the refrigerator and calmly lied, not daring to look back at her mother: “I don’t want to be alone in that big house. Plus I don’t like my mother-in-law and his family. So that’s why…”
“How long are you going to pretend, lie to your mother?” The woman had had enough of Emma’s secrecy to cut her off, her voice very irritated.
“What do you mean by that?” Emma kept calm and asked again. She doesn’t want to admit anything without being forced.
“What do you mean? Let me tell you straight.” The woman said, approaching Emma.
“Did you just get divorced?” The mother’s voice coldly interrogated. The other woman did not need to probe, just bluntly hit Emma in the face with a harsh, bitter reality that she was and must face.
Emma was a little surprised when the news reached her mother’s ears. So fast. It was faster than Emma thought. She hasn’t told the news yet. But she already knew and now her sudden appearance is to blame, scolding Emma.
“Do you know? How did…?” Emma looked at her mother, pretending to be silly: “I was going to tell you when you come back from traveling.”
“The news spread on social networks that: The beautiful, desirable marriage between Prince Alden Helen and Cinderella Emma Susan ended, less than two weeks after the wedding. I am not deaf If you don’t hear, you’re blind and can’t see.” The mother growled in a disgusted tone.
“That’s… Actually, let me tell you slowly. First of all, you’re back, so…” Emma hesitated, not knowing how to explain it to her mother.
“You don’t need to explain. I don’t want to hear you say any bullshit excuses.” The woman suddenly shouted. The attitude of rejection Emma: “You smeared ashes and rice husks on my face. Do you know that everywhere you go, people will bring you up as a topic to discuss and insult? Do you know that I have no face left to come out? See anyone else? It’s all your fault. You naughty son of a bitch.”
Emma heard her mother’s venomous words, feeling her heart clench. She stood there motionless, not knowing how to face her mother.
“I’m sorry.” Emma quietly lowered her head, her voice choking: “I know I was wrong, I let you down.”
“What’s the point of apologizing, does it change the fact that you’ve been kicked out of Helen’s family?”
“I’ll do my best to get back there. I’ll…” Emma mumbled unrealistic things.
“You think you have that ability?” The woman’s voice scorned her own daughter.
“You really can make me angry.”
The woman constantly grumbled the insults. Then I looked at Emma, feeling an unbearable itch. Immediately the woman stepped forward, grabbed Emma, and violently.
“How can you be so stupid?” The woman just slapped Emma a few times, then raised her voice: “How many people dream of marrying Alden, becoming the bride of a rich family? But you are blessed not to know how to enjoy it. It is true that there is no more stupidity than that. like this.”
Finally, the woman hit Emma with a painful slap.
“Mom, please don’t hit me again. It hurts.”
“How can you do such a horrible thing if you know pain? How many times have I taught you? You should give up your bad habits. If you want to satisfy your fleshly needs, why don’t you do the same to your husband?”
“I…” Emma sobbed.
“Your husband can’t satisfy you, so you’re looking for another guy?” The woman frantically shouted: “Then why not keep it private? Why does it in front of your husband?”
The more the mother scolded, the angrier she became with her daughter.
“It’s not my fault, mom. I was raped.” Emma blamed her mistress.
“Shut.” The mother shouted loudly, threateningly: “If you can’t overcome the current predicament, get out of the house for me.”
“Mom, please don’t chase me.” Emma begged, “I have nowhere to go right now.”
“Fuck you.” The mother said harshly: “Don’t say much more, pack your things and get out of my house. I won’t tolerate an unfilial, ignorant girl like you.”
“Mom, please.” Emma cried and begged: “If it weren’t for my mother, I wouldn’t know what to do. I don’t want to go back to the miserable, poor life like before.”
“It’s all your fault. Now, what’s the point of complaining?” The woman emphasized every sentence carries great damage.
Emma still couldn’t stop crying, her hands clutching at the woman’s legs. Emma’s life will surely face many difficulties if she is kicked out. Emma basically didn’t want that to happen. So she promised to endure her mother’s humiliation with gritted teeth. Unfortunately, that woman did not show any mercy for her own daughter.
“Fuck, living in happiness, you don’t like it, you want to go back to the old beggar days. And you drag me too. What a die-hard thing.” The woman cursed, cursing Emma.
“Mom. I know it’s my fault. Please forgive me. Please don’t send me away.”
“No more talking. Get out. Get out of my house. I don’t want to be famous for having a child like you. You ruined all my plans. You don’t deserve forgiveness.”
The woman slammed the door shut, after rushing Emma to throw it out of the house.
Emma banged on the door begging, but the people in the house did not respond. Emma now realized that she had really fallen into a deadlock, going to the extreme point of misery. That’s why Emma’s mind was born with the idea of having revenge against Alden. Surely she would make Alden suffer a more miserable end than she did now.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
