“Why shouldn’t I say another word, mother ? Oh, he isn’t the only one huh…?” Lester asked as he smiled at Melanie.
“Don’t disrespect your father…” Melanie shouted as she looked at Lester with a very angry expression.
“Don’t fucking shout on me woman, I will kill you.” Lester said as he ran towards Melanie to hit her with the metal rod.
“No, Jule. Save yourself.” Melanie said as she suddenly pushed Anon towards the other direction.
Everyone stepped out of their houses to watch this scene and started laughing at Melanie but no one came to help her.
“Die, you fucking whore.” Lester said as he stopped and pulled the rod back with full strength to hit Melanie hard.
Melanie closed her eyes again bracing herself for the beating but nothing happened this time as well.
She opened her eyes again and saw that, Lester has stopped and he is looking in the other direction now.
She turned her eyes towards the other direction and saw that Jule is standing there with a silver coin in his hand.
“You want this, boy ?” Anon asked with an evil smile.
“Yes… give it to me.” Lester said as he started walking towards Anon with a wide smile on his stupid face.
‘Once a friend of mine gave me a very good advice… ‘Why do the violence, when you can control the situation with pennies.’ Anon thought as he moved the coin left and right.
Lester also moved his neck in the direction of the coin.
“Go, fetch it.” Anon said as he throwed the coin with a little bit of his strength.
“Yes… Money… Money… I want money.” Lester said as he started running behind the coin.
*Sob-Sob*
Anon suddenly noticed that Melanie has fallen down to her knees and she is crying very loudly.
“Ma’am… are you alright ? Let’s go inside your house, okay ?” Anon said as he grabbed one of her shoulder with his left hand and holded her right hand with his right hand.
“Y-Yes… *Sob-Sob*” Melanie replied as she stood up and started walking inside the house.
‘Hahah… Nothing is more vulnerable than a crying and broken woman in this world. This is the chance to make a special place in her heart.’ Anon thought as an evil smile appeared on his face.
“Let’s walk slowly… Ma’am.” Anon said as he helped Melanie.
As soon as Anon entered inside her house, he noticed something odd. Her house was made in the same order as Jule’s house.
‘Is this a coincidence or something else ?’ Anon wondered as he went towards the dinning table and helped Melanie in sitting down on the chair.
“Sit down and take a deep breath, it will help you to calm down.” Anon suggested as he looked at her crying face.
“I-I will return your money, Jule. Please don’t worry. I will do one more job and return your money with interest-” before she could’ve said anything else, Anon putted his hand on her mouth and prevented her from speaking something else.
“Don’t say things like that, Aunty. You are one of the closest aunt I have and he is like my cousin. If our fathers weren’t bestfriends, I would’ve given him a good beating for slapping you.” Anon Said as he wiped tears off of her cheek.
‘It’s good that this house thing got stuck in my mind and I searched Jule’s memories to find out everything about it. Turns out I found an all new chapter.
Her husband and Jule’s father, they were best friends and they made their houses in the exact same way as each other.
They worked in the factory together but her husband got selected as a army soldier and Jule’s father got promoted.
Her husband died in the war against the Counsellor and she was only left with her son.
Jule and Lester were not best friends but they respected their father’s friendship and tried to be more friendly with each other but it didn’t worked out.
Lester got involved with some dark elfs into the drug supply buisness but he was kicked out of it when they realised that Lester is doing drug overdose in his shift.
He then locked himself in his room for the next 13 days and took the drugs, he stole from the dark elfs… in 13 days he finished 2 boxes of drugs.
He came out of his room on the 14th day and started asking his mother for money, at first it was not a very sensitive issue and her mother gave him the money but with time… the addiction grew with time.
At one time, his mother stopped giving him money and that’s when he showed his real face…. he started beating Melanie and stole her jwellery from her cupboard.
She was helpless… she looked at him with a very disappointed expression and only one thought came to her mind ‘I am just a disappointment in the name of a mother.’
Without father, Lester was like a free bull. He became more and more addicted to the drugs and after some months… this beating became normal.
He would do this in every 5-7 days, he would drag Melanie into the streets and belated her with a iron rod.
At first some of the neighbours tried to help her but Lester was a psychopath. No one wanted to go against him.
He would beat Melanie until she passed out from pain and took her to the slave centre once to sell her off but even the slave centre said no to him because of Melanie’s physical condition.
Today he was about to beat her again but this time Anon saved her.
‘Perfect, this is the perfect woman. I can corrupt her with my little finger. Let’s see how much time does it takes to corrupt her mind.’ Anon thought as he continued to wipe her tears off.
“Thank you, Jule. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me.”
“You need some rest, let’s go and get you some rest.” Anon said as he picked her up into his arms and took her to the bed room. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.
“J-Jule… Y-Ypu don’t have to pick me like this.” Melanie said as her face turned red.
