My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: 145/Meridrith’s Revenge

Chapter 144

Meredith’s Point of View (The Past)

I remained sprawled on that cursed sofa for hours. The scent of his skin and tobacco, mingled with my tears, filled the space and stifled me.

My body shuddered with involuntary jolts, every cell in me screaming from the impact of the violation. When he finally returned and unlocked the restraints on my hands, I didn’t move; I was a corpse inhabited by a shattered soul.

He tossed a few banknotes on the table and said coldly, adjusting his suit jacket: "Here is your pay... with a small bonus for an enjoyable night."

He walked out and locked the door behind him, leaving me in my wreckage. In that moment, I didn’t just hate him; I hated Violet. I hated her because she was at her university, studying in peace, while I was here being raped by this animal.

I felt disgusted by myself, by my skin, and by everything that tied me to this world.

I returned home late, clutching my coat tightly over my chest because I was wearing nothing but my torn bra underneath. I entered to a house drowned in a lethal silence; everyone was asleep.

No one noticed my absence, and not a hair stirred on my father or mother, who were in a deep sleep without a worry, as if I were a non-entity. My mother didn’t think for a second to call me as she would have for Violet if she were ten minutes late.

I passed my wretched sister’s room; she was sleeping in calm tranquility, her face relaxed as if the world belonged to her, while I was tearing and bleeding internally.

In my room, I swore before the mirror that I would have my revenge; I would avenge myself against my parents because they never loved me, and against Violet because of her and her so-called brilliance, I had become the sacrifice slaughtered in the dens of vice.

I stepped into the bathroom and scrubbed my skin with a coarse loofah until it almost bled; I wanted to erase his scent, his touch, and his filth. I put on my pajamas, sat on the bed, and pulled out my phone.

I found 20 missed calls from Stuart. I didn’t answer; I had no words for a man waiting for a "pure" bride while I had become the remains of a woman.

In the morning, my mother barged into my room coldly and said: "Meredith... didn’t you go to work today?"

I answered in a parched voice, burying my head under the covers: "I told you yesterday was the last day."

She replied with resentment: "Really? And your sick father? Do you expect him to go out and work?"

I snapped upright and screamed: "Ask your precious daughter Violet to work! Or is she the princess of the house and I’m the maid?"

She gave me a look of pure disdain: "How can you speak about your sister like that? She’s studying at the university!"

I said, the bitterness burning my throat: "I was studying too, Mother, but you two forced me to stop!"

She said with a cutting coldness: "Because you were studying with your father’s money. You weren’t like Violet... she didn’t need our money!"

I lost my mind completely and screamed in a breakdown: "Because you gave birth to me! You and my father are responsible for my expenses! Just because I’m not a genius like Violet doesn’t mean I don’t deserve to study!"

She replied with words that were like nails in my heart: "Your head is closed anyway; you don’t even grasp your studies... did you really think you’d succeed in university?"

I froze, feeling the blood drain from my face. "You’re saying I’m stupid and a fool?"

She said as she turned to leave: "Don’t start your usual drama, Meredith... this is the truth, accept it."

I had been the obedient dog for years, doing everything without objection, and now, when I spoke two sentences, I became a "drama queen." I shouted, tears burning my cheeks: "I won’t go! Do you know what happened to me yesterday? Shall I tell you the hell I saw?"

At that moment, Violet appeared at the door with an annoyed expression: "What’s all this screaming in the morning? I was up all night studying... can’t anyone have some peace?"
