I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 84

“You’ve put up with me for over twenty years; what’s one more day? If you need to hit someone, hit the one who deserves it. As for me,” I said, my voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone, “you can’t afford to.”

“Antonia!” Janice cried out, rushing to her side.

“Mom, it hurts so much!” Antonia sobbed. Janice, her heart breaking, turned on Martin. “What are you doing? Hitting my daughter is like killing me!”

“She’s a useless failure!” Martin roared, his eyes blazing. “Didn’t you hear that recording? Is this the wonderful daughter you raised?”
