đł I bought my daughter a bicycle with my first bonus dad sla;p;ped her took it and gave it to my nephew trash don't deserve good things they didn't expect me to make them beg for mercy.... "Mom, do you think Grandpa will be proud of you now? Since you have a big job?" Emma, my 9-year-old daughter, asked with eyes full of hope as we loaded her new cobalt blue bicycle into the car. I bought it with my bonus checkâa symbol of freedom. I wanted to say "No." I knew my father was a black hole where happiness went to d;i;e. But how do you explain that to a child? We arrived at my parents' house. My father was wiping grease from his hands; my mother sat on the porch like a queen in exile. Nearby were my sister Cara and her 12-year-old son, Mason. "Grandpa! Grandma!" Emma chirped, wheeling the bike forward. "Mom bought this for me! Isn't it beautiful?" Silence fell. Not the silence of admiration, but the silence of predators assessing prey. My father sneered. "A bonus? For what? Showing up on time for once?" "I won the Archer case, Dad," I said, keeping my voice steady. "Don't get haughty," my mother called out. "Probably spent it all on that toy instead of rent." "I just wanted to show you," Emma rang the silver bell. Ding-ding. That innocent sound was a mistake. My father stepped closer to Emma, jealousy twisting his face. "You think you're special because you have a shiny bike?" he growled. "No, Grandpa, I justâ" "Don't talk back to me!" His arm moved in a blur. SNAP. A sharp, stinging sound echoed through the driveway. I froze, watching my child stumble backward, her small hand flying to cover her cheek, eyes wide with sh0ck. "Grandpa... I didn't do anything..." "People like you don't deserve things this nice," he spat. "Youâre spoiled. Soft. Just like your mother." He snatched the handlebars from her trembling hands and turned to Mason, who was watching with a cruel smirk. "Mason! Take it. Show her how a real rider handles a bike. Youâll use it better than this crybaby." Mason didn't hesitate. He hopped onto Emma's bike, circling us, deliberately swerving close to taunt her. "Look at me! It fits me better anyway!" Mason jeered. My mother laughed from the porch. "See? Mason has coordination. Emma is too clumsy. Consider it a lesson in safety." I lunged forward. "That is hers! Dad, what are you doing?" My father blocked me, using his heavy arm to push me back with force. "Trash doesn't get shiny toys, Sarah. Don't teach her to reach above her station." I looked at my sobbing daughter. The light in her eyes was gone. I looked at my family. Monsters. "You steal from a child?" my voice shook with cold rage. "You hurt her?" "I disciplined her," he said, turning his back. "Now get out of my driveway before I call the cops for trespassing." I buckled Emma into the car. "Mom..." she sobbed. "Is Grandpa right? Am I trash?" I slammed on the brakes before we even left the street. I turned to her. "No. You are gold. You are light. And they... they are about to learn that they cannot touch us. Not ever again." I drove away. But I didn't go home. I drove straight to the darkest part of my mind, where a plan was already forming. Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All Comments đ¨ď¸
