Chapter 132: A glimpse into the past
Third Person POV
Continuation of flashback
Serena’s eyes widened as she glared at her husband with defiance gleaming in her eyes.
"No, I’m not doing it. Why do you want her here?" She questioned as she kept her gaze steady and pulled herself up to stand up on both feet. "I know you are up to no good."
A low chuckle erupted from Aaron’s parted lips. "No?" He repeated, raising a brow at her as a smirk tugged at the corners of her lips. "What makes you think that you would have a choice, hmm?" He taunted as his eyes danced with amusement while Stella let out a snicker as she walked up to cling her arm around his.
"I’m not listening to you anymore," she retorted before she spun on her heels to walk towards her daughters who were sitting on the bed, still crying for her. But she had only taken no more than a couple of steps before she felt someone roughly grab her by her hair, pulling her back forcefully.
A sharp pain shot through her scalp and a yelp left her lips. Instinctively, she reached back to hold onto her hair to try and release the tension.
"What do you think you are doing?!" She screamed, her high-pitched voice piercing through the tension that was brewing in the air. "Let me go!" She demanded but was only met with a condescending laughter that left her husband’s lips.
"Let you go?" He asked, tossing her words right back at her with a mocking look etched onto his face. "I need to teach you to listen to what I say!" He snarled, his words filled with malice as he tugged at her hair even harder this time while Stella watched with satisfaction.
He pulled her so hard that her back collided with his chest and he wrapped his arm around her to hold her back.
She struggled, shoving against his hold as she tried to break-free. But after all, she was only a thin woman who was too weak to overpower her own husband. "Let go of me!" She screamed again as she continued to kick and flail her arms around.
