The woman lowered her head to glance at her daughter, and her heart squeezed within her. She turned to the middle-aged man, and her brow creased deeply in anger. "Why?! What has she done this time?! Why are you doing this to her?!" She questioned in a rage, and the middle-aged man smirked wickedly at her.
"Despicable!" He glanced at the young woman with disdained-filled eyes and turned to gaze intently at her. "You, of all people, know why? So do not act dumb with me or else..? Woman, you are the misery of her and I will never break the promise I made to you that day!" He chuckled evilly and lowered his gazes to glance at the young girl who flinched back in fear at his sudden glance.
"Now step out of the way and let me teach my dear daughter a lesson." He grinned malevolently, and the young woman lowered her head in defeat. She removed her daughter's hand and stepped away, creating a distance between her, her daughter, and the middle-aged man.
