Cheated

Before Muse had time to answer, the stepmother had already dragged her towards her by the hair and satiated her with blows.

- Witch ! This is how you spend your time sowing discord in my family and then you rejoice in our misfortune! You will eat your dirty witch head! She said, kicking her. Muse was crying as she tried to protect herself. But her face was swollen and blood was coming out of her mouth. When her stepmother had finished beating her, she ordered her to go take her bath and clean herself. She didn't ask for it out of concern for Muse, but she was afraid that her uncle would come and find her in this state. Unfortunately, even today Muse will spend the night without eating. To think she barely got to put anything in her mouth today at school. But she didn't retort. She put alcohol on her bruises while crying. No pain, but she was crying over her life, over all this suffering that seems to drag on. When will she finally have a little break? She couldn't take it anymore. She nevertheless goes to the bathroom and washes to remove all traces of blood on her. Her uncle came home in the night and his children came to welcome him. Not seeing Muse, he asked to go get her.

- She's already sleeping. Intervened his wife who took a dim view that Muse came to join her little family.

- Go wake her up Amy! Georges ordered without paying attention to his wife's mood. Amy went to Muse's room and told her without enchantment

- Daddy is asking you. Be careful not to say anything when you're out! She warned her with a threatening look. Amy was afraid her father would find out that her mother beat Muse. Her mother had also forbidden her to go out when her uncle returned. Muse follows Amy without saying anything and as soon as she arrives at the living room where everyone was sitting, she smiles at her uncle and goes to kiss him. He at least is not false and hypocritical towards her.

- My daughter, how are you? He asked all happy to see his niece.

- Good dad! Muse replied with a smile. Her uncle's face tightens when he sees the bruises and wounds on Muse's face.

- What happened to you ? Why is your face so swollen and your black eyes? Like any response, Muse lowers her head and does not respond. Her father lifts her chin with his index finger and asks her the same questioh more worried. But before Muse says anything, her stepmother hastens to say

- She fell in the playground at school, according to her.

- How did you fall? Is she a child to fall so stupidly? He asked incredulously.

- What do I know?That's what she told me. And in addition, do you need to be a child or an adult to fall?

- I didn't pay attention and slipped down the stairs. Muse intervened when she saw that her uncle couldn't buy his wife's words.

- Next time you'll have to be more careful.

- Alright daddy! Muse replied.

- I hope your mother at least gave you something to eat ?! This time again, before Muse can place anything, her uncle's wife hastens to respond.

- Stop insulting me Georges! What do you take me for? Do you think I'm Machiavellian enough to refuse food to an orphan who hasn't done anything to me?

- I did not say that. I was just wondering if she ate.

- Don't worry dad, I've eaten and I'm full. Said Muse seeing the tension build between her uncle and his wife. She wanted to avoid another caning session. Her uncle might stand up for her, but tomorrow he wouldn't be there to defend her against his wife's wickedness. At least it's better for her to take it all on herself to avoid more beatings as much as possible. The following week, Georges, Muse's uncle, set off once more on a trip. She was still going to live through all the miseries in the world. It took at least a week this time around and she was able to rest by sleeping normally and waking up as her age required. But as soon as her uncle left, she resumed with her usual way of life. That same day, she did the housework and made sure the whole house was spotless before going to sleep. Indeed, since her homeroom teacher asked her about the reasons for her delay, Muse has opted as a strategy to do all her household chores at night before sleeping. When she wakes up in the morning, she doesn't have a lot of homework to do. So tonight, she finished her chores and painfully climbed the stairs to her room. She walked in front of the door of her stepmother's brother and crosses it to go to her room. However, something caught her eye. She retraced her steps reassuring herself that her ears weren't playing tricks on her. She heard voices coming through the door earlier. She sticks her ear to the door to hear what she's saying to herself, while internally thinking that her curiosity will end up losing her. But as she is listening, what she hears puzzles her. She pushes the door slightly to see. To her surprise, Pen is lying shirtless on his back and her stepmother who is supposed to be Pen's sister, according to them, is lying in the latter's arms and stroking his chest.

- My love, your idiot husband gives me these murderous urges, you can not imagine!

- Leave him that stupid man! He is no longer useful to me, except to use me as a bank where I get supplies as I want.

- Even like that, it annoys me!

- Do not worry. I don't even let him touch me. Said Muse's stepmother, leaning in to kiss her so-called brother. Very disgusted, Muse closes the door and runs to throw up in the toilet. That night, she barely fell asleep, she was so sad for her uncle. While this one fights like a madman to give the life of queen to his wife, she is not even screwed to be grateful to him. How can she bring her lover into their own home and fault everyone believing that he is just her brother? What kind of woman is she? Muse couldn't believe it. She spent the whole week in a daze, she was so worried about her uncle. One day, she came home from school earlier than expected. No sooner had she put her nose in the living room, she found Pen lying on top of her supposed sister kissing her. He was barely missing and he undressed her. Muse froze at this unpleasant scene. Turning her head, her stepmother saw her and quickly stood up while adjusting her clothes. Pen's bastard was sitting still, not shy about her grabbing them.
