The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 383

"Don't call me mother. I never had a son like you. You're evil incarnate!"

Lucia's voice cracked, tears spilling down her face, her chest aching as if her heart itself were being torn apart.

"Whatever," William said coldly.

"I'll always be your son. Even when you're dead, I'll still be your son-the one who inherits everything you own."

With a vicious swing, the baseball bat smashed against Lucia's head.

The sickening thud echoed through the room.

Her body crumpled to the floor.

A jagged wound split open on her scalp, blood seeping fast, pooling across the

floor, soaking into her clothes, staining his.

"Wait..." Lucia gasped, her voice trembling.

"What?" William sneered, his eyes blazing with contempt.

"Want to beg for forgiveness? You're already old. What's the point of living longer? You drove your own daughter away. If you need someone to blame, blame yourself!"

"Where... where did you bury Maria's body?" Lucia whispered, her voice broken with tears and pain.

William's smile twisted into something cruel.

"For years, you sat on that bench, staring at the farm gate, waiting for Maria to come back."

He leaned in, savoring the words.

"So I gave you what you wanted. I buried her beneath that very bench. While you sat there, day after day, she was always right under your feet."

"You thought you were waiting for her return-when in truth, you were sitting on her grave."

His laugh cracked like a whip, sharp and mocking.

"Ironic, isn't it? Almost funny. Sometimes it makes me want to laugh until I choke."

Lucia's sob tore through the air. "You're a monster!"

"I'm the monster you raised,” William hissed. “Remember—it all started with you. You're the one who drove your daughter away!"

The words carved straight into her soul. Regret crushed her.

She had always thought-if only she'd let her daughter marry the man she loved, none of this would have happened.

"Now die," William spat. He raised the bat again, higher this time, rage burning through him, and swung with everything he had.
