Chapter 4

Kim almost chuckled because she knew all was just a facade. Although Mani barely pays her any attention, he never even tries to see the truth whenever his wife or child come up with their lies. All he just did was to discipline her.

"How am I to follow men when I'm not even given enough sleeping time....... "

Liza cuts in.....

"Did you just say that we are making you suffer?" she yowled.

Kim wondered how she got into this mess. She had always tread on pins just to avoid her family but still she got into a mess. This made her curse the guy who made this happen to her. Even though her life was never peaceful, she hasn't been tagged a prostitute. She has been called so many things aside from a prostitute. She wished to see the guy and strangle him.

"Never meant that ma'am. I'm only trying to explain....... "

She heard another sound. At first she didn't know she was the one who got slapped because her cheek went numb for a few seconds before the pain rang in her head. She staggered back holding her cheek with her two hands.

"You ingrate!" she spitted out. "We took you when nobody wanted you and what you could use to repay? Is to call us wicked!" she said with a furious look.

Kim didn't know when she said all that she had been accused of.

"I didn't mean it that way," Kim pleaded. She was really fighting the pain that grew in her chest. It was really hard to endure

She knew if they decided to throw her out she had nowhere to go. She quickly went on her knees to apologise.

"What a devious little thing" Tasha hissed.

She took her phone and started to do a video of Kim crying. She then started to tell all sorts of lies about why she was crying and what she had done. Her parents paused looking at her. Liza was smiling while Mani frowned.

Kim couldn't bear all the lies that were said but then what could she do other than to cry. Kim knew she was going to post it on her instagram page as usual.

This wasn't the first time she was doing this. Tasha has very large followers on her instagram, tiktok and Facebook. Where she posts all her lies and flaunting. All of her followers mock Kim and praise Tasha for being a nice boss to the maid.

Mani cleared his throat and they all looked at him. Tasha ended her video and smiled.

"For your punishment young lady....."

Kim prayed in her heart that the punishment won't be channelled to her school. Since they knew that's her only weak point. She would go through anything just to go to school.

"..... You won't go to school till you prove to be a child worthy of education" he said.

Kim felt like fainting. She knew this would be where it would head. She fell to the floor and cried. She couldn't control the tears anymore.

"Please sir don't do this. I'm begging you" she pleaded in tears.

"That's not all" Mani ignored her.

"You will receive 11 strokes of cane every morning till you learn not to take alcohol in my house again" he added.

Kim didn't know why she had to receive so much punishment as if their daughter's habit wasn't to come home drunk every night. She wasn't scared of the cane but not as much as not going to school.

Tasha volunteered to be the one beating her every morning which she was granted. This really made Tasha happy because she loved to see Kim cry.

After Kim received a thorough beating from Tasha, she vowed that the moment she set her eyes on the guy who just ruined her horrible life which thought had hope, she would have a revenge even though she didn't know what to do. Kim wept sadly as she made the vow.
