Ella screamed and started to cry bitterly for her daughter asking Mr Richardson to stop, she tried so hard to get herself out from the grip of the man who was holding her but his hold on her was too strong in comparison to her strength.
Cesar too tried to free himself fervently from the firm grip of that man but all his efforts were going into the drain, Mr Richardson was done throwing the soup over Amelia's head.
The hot soup trickled down over Amelia's body and she screamed in pain for help from her mother and brother. " Mother! Mother, it burns! Help me! Big brother, it hurts! Save me!"
Ella watched her daughter suffers in front of her eyes helplessly.
And Cesar bit his lip until he tasted blood. Why? Why was he so weak? He couldn't protect his mother and he couldn't protect his sister!
It was one of the most terrifying and brutal experiences of their lives Ella's tears were continuously flowing on her face, but Cesar didn't close his eyes because he wanted to burn this horrible sight in his mind.
His fingers clenched tightly, one day he will avenge his sister somehow—— he didn't know how but he will!
Mr Richardson threw the pot after the last drop of soup was dropped on Amelia's head.
Amelia was sitting on the floor helplessly, her body was fully smeared in soup, her eyes dazed and glassy due to the torment she had just gone through.
Tears trickled down her face that has turned all red, her skin was scalded badly and she was reeking of soup.
Mr Richardson bent down on his knees and looked at Amelia, "So now you are feeling warm little girl?" He asked with a grin.
Then looked at Ella crying and whimpering, stretching his hands, he clutched Amelia's hair and taunted Ella, "Look, Ella! Look I provided your daughter with some warmth."
Ella shook her head and cried, "Why? Why did you do this Mr Richardson, why you are doing this with my daughter? she has done nothing wrong, don't punish her for my husband's deeds."
Mr Richardson stood up and went straight to Ella, he squished both cheeks with his hand and said, 'Don't blame me for that what I did with your daughter, there is only one person here to be blamed and that's you, Ella. You are responsible for all this, your daughter had to pay the price for your deeds do you understand this? This happened because you and your husband are both useless pieces of shit."
Those words from Mr Richardson had pricked like a sharp needle into her heart.
"Ella look at your daughter and your son and how much they are suffering… this is because people as useless as you dare to have kids!" Ella looked at her children who are grunting and sobbing in pain in front of her, feeling guilty that her children were suffering because of her and her husband.
Mr Richardson's evil plan was spot on, it worked well for him.
He knew that more than hurting Ella, hurting and torturing her children will push her to an edge even more.
The pain she was going through right now was immense and Mr Richardson knew what he needed to do now, he sneered and spat "Ella if only you had paid back my money rather than buying food items and cooking delicious meals from that money, your children wouldn't have to go through this nor you would have to watch your children suffer like that but you betrayed me and whoever betrays me they have to pay a price for that."
Cesar looked at his sister who was sitting on the floor hissing in pain and her mother who was being tormented by Mr Richardson, he was ashamed of himself, at his weakness and his own cowardice.
He was the only man in the family it was his responsibility to protect her mother and sister instead he was just watching them being abused by a ruthless thug.
'Why? Why I am such a coward? Why I am so incapable of doing something? I am such a scaredy cat that I cannot even save my mother and my sister from this evil man. Dad will never forgive me for this.' He couldn't help but scold himself inwardly.
Mr Richardson was still squishing Ella's face and warned her, "Ella this was just a trailer if you still don't give back my money within a week then I swear to God that you will regret the day you were born and every single mistake you made in the past when it concerns me and not just you even your children will also pay for that, you get it?"
Ella's face was already terrified by him, she pleaded to him in a squeaky sound, "Mr Richardson if you want to punish me for my mistake then, please punish me only don't drag my children into this, they have nothing to do with this."
Mr Richardson collared her throat and said."I know how much of an ungrateful person you are, I know that you don't care about yourself even if I hurt you that is useless but I know if I hurt your children instead then I am sure that you will pay my money back."
Ella struggled to breathe properly and Mr Richardson released her from his grip and then pushed her down on the floor and said nastily, "Listen, Ella within one week I should get my money back otherwise the outcome will be very horrible for you and your family."
After giving her the ultimatum, Mr Richardson left the house along with his two men.
Ella was lying on the floor all helpless but then she heard her daughter sobbing in pain and she dragged herself towards Amelia.
She hugged her daughter and Amelia cried bitterly in her arms, Ella looked at her son who was silently crying with blood dripping down his lips and pulled him in her embrace that night the entire family cried, grieving upon the tragic incident that they went through tonight.
