29 PAINS AND SHOCK

ARIEL’S POV

“What are these children doing in my house?” Mason snarled, stepping closer to me.

“This is my house.” I raised an eyebrow. “Last time I checked, Andre and I were the ones living here before you came along.”

“But he is my brother, and you’re just a stranger!” Mason focused his gaze on the little children, giving all of them a death stare. “Now all of you should get the hell out of here!”

“What did you just say?” I threw him an unfriendly look.

“Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear me.”

“Oh, I did.” I crossed my arms. “But I just wanted you to repeat that nonsense.”

Mason chuckled. “You’re talking as if you can do something about it.”

I fell silent, glaring at him. I knew exactly what he meant. He kept threatening me with my children. I felt an urge to choke him to death right now. To strangle him, stab him with a knife, or blow his brains out. There were so many ways to end his miserable life, but he was lucky that I wasn’t as heartless as he was.

“Look, why do you have to be so cruel? I already agreed to your plan, right? Why are you being so mean to these children? They have no parents, nowhere to call home.”

“Does this place look like an orphanage to you?” He gestured around the living room. “So, I
