Chapter 14 The Kids Hatch a Plan


Swift as lightning, Harry dropped to the floor and burst into tears, a move that instantly caught Orion off guard.

Hearing Harry sob, Alaric rushed upstairs, not even bothering to ditch his shoes or jacket.

"Dad, she's just a wicked stepmother; she hit me!" Harry wailed, pointing an accusing finger at Orion.

"What the hell happened?" Alaric barked at Orion, "What did I tell you before I left, huh?!"

"I didn't! When have I ever laid a hand on him?" Orion explained.

"She grabbed my shirt, trying to shove pills down my throat. Dad, I was terrified; when I fell, it hurt so bad," Harry cried out. Alaric had never seen Caspian break down like this before. Seeing his child so inconsolably upset naturally filled him with distress.

"It's okay now, Caspian, I'm here," Alaric comforted as he swept Harry into his arms with a gentle voice.

"And you, out of my house now! Don't you dare come near Caspian again!" Alaric was furious. He had hoped to give her one last chance to prove herself, especially since the kid had amnesia, but now things seemed worse than ever. Alaric was on edge. The last thing he needed was another episode from the kid.

Fury blazed in Orion's eyes - that little snake had the nerve to play the victim first! Orion, though fuming inside, dared not say more and had to leave.

Once Orion had left, Harry threw himself into Alaric's arms, his expression was one of hurt, "Dad, is she truly my mom? It feels like she doesn't love me at all; in fact, it seems like she despises me."
