He clenched his tiny fists tightly, unable to articulate a defense against the stinging words.
Ludwik furrowed his brow as he thought about his son, Daniel. The boy was reticent, aloof, and had always been a loner, playing by himself since he could crawl. The only person he ever opened up to was Ludwik, his father, and that was only during their love–hate squabbles. The pediatrician had once commented that Daniel’s solitude bordered on autism.
Elaine had mentioned that the boy struggled to fit in at preschool and often resorted to hitting other children.
It troubled Ludwik deeply. If mainstreaming him in a regular class could improve his social skills, then it was worth a shot.
“Alright, we’ll do it your way,” he decided, siding with Elaine, his wife.
Daniel’s hopeful eyes, which had been looking for his dad to object, dimmed at the words. He felt betrayed. His father never truly inquired about his feelings, always taking Elaine’s side.
With his little fists balled up, the frail boy stood up and stormed off to the backyard.
“He always runs off to his grandmother whenever things don’t go his way. Kids these days…” Ludwik sighed, hoping his son would grow up healthy and sociable.
“Don’t overthink it, Ludwik,” Elaine consoled, aware of why the boy was upset. In her heart, she reveled in the discord she sowed between father and son. It was exactly what she wanted.
That old lady in the backyard, who had been hanging on for three years, was a thorn in her side. But what could the child really confide in her, and could she even hear him?
A child without a mother was easy prey for her schemes. It was unfortunate for Whitney to have passed so young.
Elaine silently gloated, knowing she held all the cards now. With Whitney’s uncle on the brink of a life sentence, the Bartels family would soon have nothing to fear.
Once she cured Ludwik of his erectile dysfunction, she would be the happiest woman alive, in both body and soul.
She smiled to herself, adjusting Ludwik’s tie with feigned affection. “Ludwik, take a couple of hours off for the hospital appointment, okay?”
Ludwik grunted, clearly unenthusiastic, and headed out, calling the caretaker as he left. “Make sure Taryn feeds Danny well, and then get him off to preschool.”
“Taryn, you were right. She’s not my real mommy. She pinches and hits me.”
In the quiet solitude of the caretaker’s room, Daniel confided in Taryn beside his comatose grandmother’s bed.
Taryn looked at the bruises on Daniel’s arm with a heavy heart. The boy was thin, a precious soul brought up with great care by Ludwik. Ludwik was good at everything but trusting that woman too much.
