Kahlan watched as her father heartlessly dropped such cold words, leaving her emotions in disarray. She looked down at her hands, how vicious could they be not even bothering to hear her out. "You, be thankful I didn't tell your father to send you to that slum" as Kahlan was trying to sort out her emotions, she heard the dark voice of her ever loving stepmother laced with poison that gave people chills to the bone. She looked up in surprise wondering if she didn't hear correctly. "mother?" "I'm not your mother! do I look like that wench that almost destroyed my family. if I am given the chance I will dig out her corpse and whip it" At that point Kahlan was shocked, she couldn't recognize the woman in front of her, she looked like asura. Her eyes filled with evil and blood thirst, wasn't she the one that always took her side when her half siblings bullied her. When did she become like this, Kahlan could not utter a word as she looked on "Kahlan, you better live like a dead person in Italy, don't even think about coming back. I'm warning you, if you dare disobey me...you will end up like your miserable mother. I have ten thousand ways to make you suffer" madam Cypher said with obvious hatred in her words. At this moment, Kahlan had a moment of epiphany. it struck her so hard she couldn't help opening her little mouth with a pale face to say "Was this your plan all along?" heaven knows she hated this feeling of helplessness, she felt so foolish. How could she have thought of these people as family. She was overwhelmed with angst and could not control her emotions, her eyes turned dark even Phony could not help but cringe. "what on Earth happened to grandpa?" she found the whole scenario about her grandfather strange, so strange. She hated herself for being so weak, if she wasn't she wouldnt be controlled and forced to bend to the wishes of these wicked people. "Don't ask stupid questions and just get lost. Sara! come here and take the second miss to her room. she has a flight to catch" madam Cypher stood up walking slowly upstairs. so what if she's angry, she wasn't afraid of the village rat. She took care of her mother, to her she's like a worm she can crush with her heels. "Wait" stopping in her tracks, madam Cypher turned to look at Kahlan with impatience on her face. Slowly saying the words without emotions, "believe me, I will be back" Kahlan exuded a different aura no one had seen, she stood up slowly with her back facing madam Cypher and Phony gently making her way to her room. Her heart was cold, she must make them pay.
