Tyron sniffled, then looked up at his father, eyes wet but filled with something else–triumph.
1–I just wanted to play…” he mumbled. “But she got mad. She yelled at me… and then…” He hiccupped. “She doesn’t like me, Daddy.”
My nails dug into my palms.
Cameron turned to me, his face darkening. “If anything worse had happened to him, Zoe, I swear-”
“I didn’t do anything!” I snapped, frustration boiling over. “And you never listen to me! You believe her without question. Your believe your son even when he lies. But me? I’m always the villain, aren’t I?”
Cameron’s expression was ice. “That’s because you are the villain, Zoe.”
His words sliced through me.
I took a shaky breath, trying to keep the tears at bay. “Then why keep me here? Why not just let me go?”
He scoffed, stepping closer, his voice low enough that only I could hear.
“Because you still serve a purpose,” he murmured. “And because I enjoy watching you break.”
Something inside me snapped.
For years, I had stayed. For years, I had endured. But I was done.!!
My lips curled into a bitter smile. “You know what, Cameron?” I whispered, shaking my head. “Fine. You win. I don’t care anymore.”
I turned to Tyron, who was still watching me, waiting for me to beg or apologize.”
I knelt in front of him, leveling my gaze with his. “You’ve always made it clear that you don’t want me as your mother,” I said, my voice eerily calm. “Well, I finally agree with you”
I stood up, dusting off my dress as I turned on my heel. “So congratulations, Tyron. You got what you wanted. I will never be your mother because I hate evil children!“”
With that, I walked away.
was done being the weak girl.
