Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 27: Enjoy The Pain

"If I'm a worthless child, then maybe I got it from you," I said without hesitation. "Cheating, wasting money, and treating Mom like trash in every way you can."

He's even worse than Ash, and much more horrible than Haze.

I mean, Haze's already wicked, and I can't believe the fact that if I compare him to my own father, Haze is so much better.

"Where else would I find that kind of father if not here? I don't even know why Mom puts up with you when, in fact, you're the most worthless man I've ever known," I said as I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth.

His mouth opened wide when I said that. I could clearly see the shock in his eyes, and he almost dropped the bottle of alcohol he was holding.

He glared at me, but I just shrugged it off and was about to pass by my mom when she suddenly grabbed my arm and slapped me-which happened for the first time.

I thought it would end there, but my tears fell when she slapped me for the second time.

I don't know what's more painful. Is it her slap, or the fact that she slapped me?

"You don't know anything about what you're saying, so just stay quiet, Sapphire," she said to me in an authoritative tone. "I'm just protecting you from the demons around you."

She's not protecting me. She's hurting me. If this is the kind of protection she's going to give me, I'd rather she just leave me alone.

"Protection is not what I need, Mom. I need freedom, but you can't even give that to me," I said to her before I walked into my room and immediately locked the door.

"OOPS, sorry! It's because you're so careless!"
