Seven Ear Piercings(4)

9

At the beginning of the new year, everything looked new and fresh.

However, my house was filled with a murderous aura.

My stepmother occupied a big sofa alone, and my father timidly sat on the small couch next to her.

Jeremy held my hand and stood in front of the coffee table. The two of us looked like criminals being interrogated.

The "Harmony in the Home" plaque was hung high on the wall, full of sarcasm.

I'd always been terrified that my father would find out about this.

It wasn't because I was afraid he would object but because I was scared his reaction would make my last desire for the family become a sick joke.

I wasn't afraid of danger, but I feared the person who stabbed me was my beloved.

After a prolonged silence, my stepmother suddenly sat up straight and glared at my father. "Are you mute? Say something!"

My dad lowered his head and coughed. He smiled apologetically and said, "This is their business. Let Jeremy and Madison solve it themselves."
