196-The Remains!
Maura took me inside and sat me down to calm me first. Maddox and Reign left the café after he was
done reminding me how I am the reason his brother is not here with us today.
’You are probably not understanding it right now, but you are also a victim." Maura said, tugging the
strand of my hair behind my ear.
‘Flynn blackmailed you into having sex with him. That's the worst,* she said sadly, "no matter what
excuse you make for that night, he did wrong. It isn’t even about you thinking you were using him; you
were not. You know that when victims go back to their rapists, it is their mind trying to take power back.
The victim is not at fault," she said, talking some really deep stuff. My mind was frozen and locked
away from all the decent debates. I just wanted Flynn to suffer, just the way they made Helel suffer.
’That's why Flynn must die," I whispered. "Claiming to love someone is not enough. We have to find a
way to show it," I mumbled, rubbing my palms and sitting against the wall in the kitchen.
’What if you are hurting someone else along with me?" she asked.
’No amount of sacrifice is enough for your loved one, Maura. Sometimes, we just have to choose one
person over the other." I sighed, lowering my head, and realized I still had my mother to argue with.
*Do you want to go home and rest now? I will fill in for you." She patted my shoulder, and I nodded to
her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt’What about your dad?’ I asked.
*He will not return for another few hours, anyway. He will be passed out drunk somewhere," she
shrugged, getting up from the floor and holding her hand out for me.
’Thank you, Maura," I hugged her for comfort the instant I was on my feet. Since she had reassured
me, I left the café in peace. While walking back home, I kept preparing an argument that I was going to
have with my mother.
I kind of got the idea what she paid that disgusting man for. But I just wasn't sure how to confront her. It
is never easy to ask your parents why they sold you for one night. With my mother, though, it would be
even more difficult.
Previously, she used to make sure I didn't lose my virginity, but now she is very open about wanting me
to sell myself so that she can have a relaxed life.
While walking through the tall grass, I was uneasy. The memory of the dead body being found flashed,
but it didn't last for too long because I didn't lose my path today.
Since I arrived before Pamela, I had enough time to talk with my mom before Pamela arrived and
heard any of the conversation we were having.
I stormed straight into the room to find my mother with a new cellphone and watching videos. So this is
what she did with the money she got for selling me?
’Oh! You are early." Mom instantly put her phone down and secretly tried sliding it under her pillow.
’Did he let you resign?" she asked, watching me with a quizzical stare.
’You tell me, what did you do that he wouldn't let me resign?" I yelled at her instantly when I could open
my mouth.
’What did I do? What do you mean by that? And what kind of question is that now?" She rolled her
eyes, but I could tell she was nervous.
'He told me that you have sold me to him. So that day, when he was dragging me into his room, it was
because he had already paid for that time?" I shouted at her with all my might. Her eyes grew, and her
forehead formed a furrow.
■| didn't know he would drag you. He offered me money, and I took it. He said he will ask you to sleep
with him and if you didn't, he will ask you to do double shifts,’ she shrugged, steadily getting out of the
bed. I was stunned at her audacity to give me an excuse so lame and thought I would be satisfied with
her answer.
’I just can't understand which is a real you. The mother who used to be overprotective of me or the
mother who is ready to sell me to anyone?" I yelled, letting tears stream down my face. I wanted to cry
after Maddox made me realize I left Flynn to take advantage of me for nothing.
Maddox didn't even feel for me when I fucking gave myself to Flynn. He probably didn't think sleeping
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith someone was too traumatizing for me.
’I was overprotective of you when you deserved it. But what is left with you for me to protect? I thought
since you could sleep with Flynn to help Maddox, you would be down to do at least this much for me*
Her voice didn't hold any guilt, and that angered me.
’How dare you! Who the fuck are you to decide what I should do with my body? I slept with Flynn
because I was not left with any other option—," I yelled, but that's when my mother used her next-best
weapon. She raised her hand to slap me.
Before she could even hit me, I held her hand and walked closer to her.
’Don't fucking touch me again," my threat triggered her, I could tell. She used all her force to grab me
by my shoulders and then pushed me behind so hard that I landed on the floor.
I knew she had lost her mind and would not let go until she had beat me up for good. And I wasn't
going to take her hits today. So I got up from the ground and ran toward the exit.
The moment I entered the tall grass, I tripped on something and went face down. I knew I had tripped
on another body this time, but this body was placed right close to the house at the very entrance of the
field.
I got up hesitantly to run away when my feet froze.
I steadily turned around and recognized the decomposing body.
’Helel!’ was all my lips could murmur.
