But why did you let me marry Sam in the end? I'm not in love with him! I want an abundant life!"
I spoke to my parents in an angry tone, and my dad slammed the table in fury. "You always care so much about money. Haven't I given you enough money since you were young?"
I yelled at my father, "Of course, you've given me a lot of money, but I have the right to choose my own life. My husband can't be a man who earns less than 20,000 dollars a month and has to pay off car loans and mortgages every month!"
I was born into a wealthy family and was used to spending money lavishly every month. I found it difficult to accept a man who couldn't offer me a luxurious life.
My father slapped me hard and said to me bitterly, "You are really not as reasonable as your sister."
I had never been beaten since I was a child.
What my father did almost broke the relationship between him and me.
My parents married me to Sam without my permission and didn't even apologize to me when I questioned them.
I always thought my parents treated Sasha and me fairly and equally.
But at that moment, I thought differently.
