Repeating Time For The Perfect Revenge

Chapter 9's

Plaque!

A slap landed on Lucy's cheek. My father slapped him so hard that he fell to the floor..

“Lucy! What the fuck?”

Lucy's mother approached Lucy who was slumped on the floor while holding her swollen, flushed cheeks. The girl was completely shocked by the welcome she received from my father when she set foot inside the house.

“You guys are okay?!!”

My father's voice boomed inside the house. The man's face was reddened by the anger he felt.

I watched everything with a flat look. That cunning girl was indeed worthy of receiving such treatment from the very beginning.

“What has he done to be treated like this?” lucy's mother asked my father with a glare.

Damnit damnit! I really hate that fox woman and her daughter.

“After I kindly let your daughter stay inside my house, is that how she thanked me for all my kindness all this time?! Really don't know yourself.”

Lucy did not defend herself at all. He was only speechless with a blank look, his hand still holding his reddened, swollen cheek. I could even catch a glimpse of a wound on the corner of his lips.

My father's slap was very painful. I've felt it once and I hope never again in the future.

But I'm not sure that I hope that it will be fulfilled because I really want to cancel my engagement to Timothee. That man will have an affair with Lucy and kill me in the future. It was a terrible fate that I had to avoid.

“You all right?”

The foolish woman seemed to have no idea of the current situation. Even when my father's anger was mounting due to the actions of his daughter who did not know herself, he still had time to ask the current state of his daughter right in front of the eyes of my father who had just slapped him.

“Take him out of this house! I don't want to see his face. People do not know themselves who dare to hurt my daughter.”

Lucy's mother turns around leaving Lucy still on the floor. The woman approached my father.

“I beg you to let him stay inside this house. I can't without him.”

“You crazy?! How dare you challenge me in my own home.  Anyway I don't want to see him in this house. No objection to it.”

Not giving up on the final decision made by my father. The woman chose to prostrate herself before my father's legs, pleading for Lucy to remain in this house.

“I am even willing to kiss your feet as long as he stays in this house. I beg.”

The woman's eyes began to tear. But his actions did not make me feel sorry at all. I'm sick of seeing her behavior.

My father looked up at the ceiling, then took a deep breath to lower his anger. My feelings are not very good for this.

“Good.  I'll let him stay inside this house,” my father said as Lucy's mother nearly kissed his leg.

I can't believe what I just heard. I can't believe he let that cunning girl stay in my house after what he did to me. It feels like the blood ties are just nonsense.

“But if he comes back to do the same, I-“

I cut my father's words for not accepting the decision he just made. I give a hurtful look to the man I trusted to punish today for the man who hurt me the most.

“This time only. This time alone maybe we should give him a second chance.”

I could see the intimidating look Lucy's mother had thrown at me as if she wanted to swallow me right now. But I won't just let them go today.

Tears began to pour down my cheeks. My father was quite panicked to see me who always obeyed all his will, at this time even rebelled and put on a full expression of wounds on him.

“If next time he still does and I'm still bullied on campus how?”

Lucy gawked at what I just said. He was certainly surprised because he had never heard that I was bullied on campus because of his actions. But that's what would happen if I let him spread some strange rumors about me.

“No, dear. No.”

My father began to approach me to calm me down. But I couldn't calm down at all because the man still wanted me to give the sneaky girl a second chance.

How could I give him a second chance while he himself has got me killed twice? Although I don't know who the perpetrator who poisoned me in my previous life, but he was the number one candidate with his mother inside my house.

“Alicia, please forgive Lucy just this once.”

Lucy's mother began to approach me to coax me. His actions made me even more upset.

“Expire him!” My voice shrieked so badly.

I looked at my father with a wound-filled and parched look. I hope he listens to my request.

“Excuse him, dad! Otherwise, I will leave this house.”

I shook off my father's two hands that had been trying to calm me down ever since. I walked straight into my room, ignoring Lucy's mother who kept begging me and my father to let the girl stay inside.

The threat I just posed was not just a threat. When I got to my room, I packed my clothes.

Removing demons from my house takes great courage and consequences. Besides, I'm not sure I'd be alive if my father really forgave him and let him stay inside this house after what he did to me.

“What is this?!”

The atmosphere grew tense as I walked out of my room carrying a suitcase. My dad was really freaking out seeing me who was really planning on leaving this house.

Scroll a glance at Lucy who is no longer sitting on the floor. He was sitting on the couch with his mother calming him down.

“I would really leave this house if dad didn't kick him out today either. I'd assume dad chose to dump me.”

My father rubbed his face rough. He seems to have a hard time choosing between me and Lucy to stay in this house.

The pain felt inside my chest cavity saw how the expression of confusion and frustration my father was currently showing. I feel like everything I told her was in vain. In fact, he even had a hard time making a choice between me, who was his real son, and Lucy, the girl he had no blood relationship with and trying to destroy me.
