Chapter 6 Family Showdown
I don’t even remember how I got out of that house.
All I had was one single, sharp conclusion echoing through my head—
I must not be their daughter.
And I had to find out the truth.
It was the only explanation I could cling to—because otherwise, how could I live with the idea that my own parents were capable of being this cruel?
The moment I got back to my apartment, I collapsed into bed. I didn’t move until my phone started ringing.
It was Ivanna.
I didn’t wait for her to ask anything—I just blurted out everything my parents had done.
And, yes... I also told her about the one-night stand.
I left out the proposal.
Ivanna let out a scream so high-pitched it could probably shatter glass and murder all the plants in my apartment.
“You had a one-night stand?! And you didn’t FaceTime me live from the scene?!”
