Chapter98
“Don’t do this!” Isaac yelled, his voice cracking. “I told you, I don’t
know anything! I was locked up when all this happened!”
“You’re still lying, Isaac. When are you going to learn your
lesson?” I snapped my head to Brian, ordering. “DO NOT STOP
UNTIL I SAY SO!”
The sound of punching and hitting filled the cell. The couple
was screaming miserably, pouring their eyes out.
I took no pleasure from it. Most of the people who knew me
would say that I was a soft person, not even capable of hurting
an animal. But just thinking about how Isaac fed that lethal
flower to my daughter and how he had hurt every single
person I loved, my rage clouded my mind.
Isaac had been walking all over me and he wasn’t even sorry
for it. Maybe because he knew I was a soft person. Well, not
anymore.
It was my fucking time to demonstrate strength.
I had to break him. I had to make him crack.
Chapter98
“Stop.STOP!!!” Isaac cried out, his eyes wide with tears. “This is
enough! I’m begging you…”
“I get to say when it’s enough. And what did I say about begging? Not very helpful.” I said softly, my voice just above a
whisper. “You want me to stop? You want me to let your foster
parents go, Isaac? Then tell me where Asher is. Tell me who did
this to him.”
“OK.OK! I–I’ll tell you! Just make it stop!” he roared, bursting into
tears.
I gestured Brian to stop and waited for him to tell me. I could
not imagine anything that could hurt Asher. The only
explanation was magic. But what kind of magic?
Yet Isaac’s following words were nothing I had guessed before.
“It’s your brother, Michael. He killed Asher.“”
Violet’s POV
IMPOSSIBLE!!!
My heart stopped for a moment, my world crashing down.
Michael? My brother Michael?!!
Chapter98
Yes he was impulsive, hotheaded, but he was also the kindest
person I knew! He was the first person to open his arms for me
when I came back home after 5 years. He would never harm
Asher. There was no reason for him to.
This was a trick.
A fucking lie..
Isaac was weaving some kind of twisted web again! I wouldn’t
be caught in it.
“No..” I gritted, my body shaking as I glared at him. “NO! You are
lying. Fucking lying! You think I’ll buy your fucking lie? NO
WAY!”
He grinned. He seemed to love how much in pain I was. The
moment he saw the disbelief in my eyes, he began laughing, his
voice high–pitched and mocking, as though my heart was the
joke.
“You do wish that it is a lie, don’t you? But sorry it’s not. I’m
telling every bit of the truth, just like what you asked of
me.God you should see your face! Just a minute ago, you were
torturing my parents with such glee. But now… now you’re
realizing what it’s like to feel pain, aren’t you?”
Chapter98
“SHUT UP! STOP-
“Your dear brother, Michael, is the one who killed your
precious Asher. Isn’t it ironic? Hilarious, even?”
His words were poison. I tried to cover my ears. But I could still
hear his obnoxious voice!
Every part of me screamed that this couldn’t be true. Michael
had always been loyal to Asher, to our family.
He would never–never–do something like this.
Isaac was the liar here, not Michael.
I clenched my fists, fury boiling over. “No, I don’t believe a word
that comes out of your mouth. This is your game, your twisted
lies! You’re trying to make me doubt everything, but I won’t let
you win!”
Isaac’s laughter only grew louder, “You really don’t get it, do
you? You’re so desperate for the truth that you’re willing to
believe whatever fits your pretty little fantasy. But this is the
truth, Violet. Your brother is a murderer. He killed your
husband. You said you had nothing to lose when you came in
here. But innocent you.this is just the beginning!”
Chapter98
I could feel my whole world collapsing around me. It hurt too
much. I couldn’t take it.
“Michael would never do this! Never!” I hissed, “If you don’t tell
me the truth, I’m going to break your parent’s legs this time!”
Isaac leaned forward, his face twisted in a mix of satisfaction
and cruelty. “You can kill them if you want but that is still the
truth. Nothing can change the fact that Asher’s dead, and your brother killed him. And I… I’m the one who gets to watch you
squirm.”
I wanted to tear his chest open. To strangle him. To make him die in despair.
But then Brian’s voice cut through the chaos.
“Queen Violet, they’ve come back!” he said urgently. “Jayden
and the others… They want to see you.”
