“Why? Do you start to care about her now? Where have you been all this time?” I asked the man back weakly, but I made sure that I was being defiant before him.
Then, I continued to speak in anger, “In the past, you never really cared about her. Why do you care about her now?”
“Tell me where she is! I want to punish that little bitch!” he yelled at me.
The moment Jeremy called Marianne a little bitch, it broke my heart. Eventually, I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. They flowed freely down my cheeks as I whispered to him, “Marianne is gone, Jeremy. Our daughter … she’s gone.”
As soon as Jeremy heard my answer, he released me and stepped back. His face showed an extreme shock before he switched back to anger. The man slapped me harshly, causing me to whimper.
“What do you mean with gone?” he angrily asked, using his Alpha voice this time.
“She died … because of you and that fucking bitch! Did you remember that you punished Marianne to stay outside during the storm because she accused our daughter of stealing a diamond ring?”
