Eira was on the bed and almost all of her clothes had been stripped off. One of her teeth was knocked off and it fell on the bed. Her arms were twisted and pinched to the point that they were covered in bruises. Eira was already in such a panic that was beyond words. She did not even react when she heard her brother calling her name. That was because she thought that it was a dream. When Malvolio saw her like that, he felt immensely heartbroken. He took a step forward and put his sister in his arms. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his sister. Then, h e asked her to stand outside the bedroom.
"Eira, listen to me, don't be afraid no matter what you see. Do you understand?" said Malvolio.
Eira shook her head. "Malvolio, don't. If I don't do as they said today, then they will expose me. I...Malvolio, I'm sorry. I have stolen...Delmont’s things. It was my fault, Malvolio..."
Eira did not know how to cry anymore. She just shook her head like mad, and then she wanted to enter the bedroom again.
At that moment, Malvolio was so angered that he raised his knife and slashed the door frame. The old man in the room was so frightened that he shuddered and all the fats on his body also quivered like mad. Eira also looked at her brother in shock.
"Don’t worry! With me around, your reputation would not be ruined! Nobody knew it was you who did it! I have a way to help you!" Malvolio said.
After saying that, he forcibly shut Eira outside of the door. Eira did not know what had her brother done in the door. She only knew that her brother came out after a few minutes. When he came out, the long knife i n his hand was dripping with blood.
"Let's go. Follow me home," said Malvolio.
"Malvolio, will you beat me up?" asked Eira.
"You a good person. Why should I beat you up?" Malvolio asked.
"Malvolio, I am a thief," said Eira.
"Then, you deserved to have a beating! I have told you before, no matter how poor, you can't steal!"
"Malvolio, I have stolen things from the Stevens family. Those things were not given to me by Delmont. It was stolen by me. Joy said that the first time I did it was stealing, and the second time I did it was ransacking. I even scared their daughter and made her sick. Their daughter is still in the hospital now. Joy also said that with all three of my crimes put together, I will be sentenced to death." Eira said.
"Bullsh*t!" Malvolio only said one word. Then, the boy broke out in tears. He bent over and carried his sister, then he left the mansion quickly.
He had already killed someone. He already started something, and there was no turning back anymore. It was fine by him that he had a miserable life. After all, his father had died when he was very young.
However, how innocent was his sister? She clearly has a father. His sister's father clearly was also considered something who was wealthy. However, what kind of life has his sister been living? She had never had a burger growing up. Growing up, all the shoes that she had worn were the ones that her brother had outgrown. Sometimes, her toes would even be poking out of them. However, her family had n o money to buy her a new pair. That was because her mother needed to take medication every month, and her mother could only work occasionally. His sister had wanted to have candies when she was little, but she had no money to buy one. She could only watch others eat while she drools.
However, on the contrary, what about Delmont and his current wife? They wore gold and silver jewelries, and their daughter's life was even needles to say. She lived like a little princess, and every aspect of her life made others envious. Both of them shared the same father, but why was there such a world of difference in their lives?
Under the cloak of the night, two lonely figures, walked on the street. Malvolio did not have the slightest bit of care for the police siren that sounded behind them.
