Crueler than bell peppers

Lorena's place

Outside the mansion.

"What! Impossible! I won't buy that shit!"

"You won't buy it because you hoped it might workout the way you wanted it to be." Narrowing his eyes, Liam gritted his teeths, "Because of all the cramps you always instructed me to do, I served jail twice. And you? Damn my fucking so-called mother merry on her success!"

A wolfish chuckle went out of Lorena's mouth and she nodded, "You're getting it wrong, sweetheart." Taking a deep breath, she asked, "If I instruct you to die with your enemies inside a boiling pot of hot water, will you?"

When Liam did not say anything, she made an affirmative sound pitifully before adding, "No no, you see that even you are pathetic. I pity for you and that-- what's her name again? Ah Mabel. Hmm, she and the little boy are-"

"Hey!" Liam hooked his right hand in the air which was about to land a nice slap on her face. He knew he couldn't do it even if he wanted to try but his guts are weak and his hand began to wiggle.

Seeing his hand wiggling helplessly, Lorena laughed wickedly and placed her hand on her chest. "Oh my, gracious father. Did you just lift your hand against me, Liam?"

Liam awkwardly retrieved his hand back. Gosh, what the hell was he thinking when he wanted to hit his mother? His own mother who carried him for nine months, in spite she is full of evil?

"So you've gat guts to the extent of almost hitting me?" When he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed, she retorted aggressively, "Just because of her and someone else's child you claimed to be yours?"

"Mom, Bernard is my blood. My own son and my very own flesh and blood. I've wanted to claim him from the start but you asked me not to because you prefer to cage me all my life."

"It's for your best, Liam. Everything I've always wanted was for you to-"

"That's beyond what you're saying Lorena!" He yelled.

"Stop addressing me by my name, bastard!" She retorted with a quick slap on his face.

Still holding the darted area on his face, Liam smirk before looking at her, "All my friends and colleagues whom had fucked you countless times, usually call you by your name and you didn't see anything wrong with it. So why are you furious that I do the same?"

Gritting her teeths, she warned with a finger, "Because you are my son and you should respect me as your mother."

"Then I summon all tiles with you." When Lorena widened her eyes in shock, he raised his brows, "I regret the day the lord made you to be my mother. Why weren't Aunt Petra my biological mother?"

"You won't-"

"I've not finished! Why weren't Uncle Grayson which I claimed to be my biological father all these years, why weren't he my gene father? And brother Sebastian? I've offended that guy so many times right from childhood and it was all because of you, Mrs Lorena!" He yelled with tear drops rolling down his chin.

Lorena feared and gulped down before moving inches backwards as the aura around him was not pleasant at all.

"Jin, was my heartthrob since the day I started watching her on TV and when I told you about her, you insisted I make her mine before someone else's gets her. But according to fate, maybe we weren't made for each other and brother Seb got her right under my nose. I refrained my words and decided to give up but you persuaded me over and over again to kidnap her, assault her and kill brother Sebastian. How cruel are you to be even way crueler than bell peppers?"

Countless times when Liam actually had strong feelings for Jin-joo, he wanted to have her and made her as his forever. Since his only girlfriend which he thought to be dead was long lost and forgotten out of track. But as time goes on when he discovered that his elder stepbrother as overtaken his target, he sighed and gave up. He knew that even if he were to compete with Sebastian, he will only end up losing.

They grew up together to a tender age before his mother Petra packed out of the mansion as instructed by his thought to be father Grayson. He knows Sebastian's life history just 50 percent of it and he could tell how badly he has hurt that innocent man.

When Lorena did not say anything, he sniffed and brushed his nose, "Yes, I know how brother Sebastian is going to boot me out if not killing me when I go to him to apologize for everything. So many allegations forged on him by me in the past, isn't that more than enough to opt me into the blacklist?"

Pausing for a while, he continued, "How difficult it has been for me to find a job in the world. My sustainance has been relying on the cards Mr Grayson given to me since I was 18. You totally ruined my life, Mrs Lorena. You tarnish my reputation and turned me into a wreck raph before the nice people around me."

Ignoring his words, Lorena turned around about to open the car door. When Liam snatched the keys from her and tossed it aside, she narrowed her eyes, "Are you now insane? Am going out, I don't have time for rubbish. Go away and find something relevant to do with your frustrated life."
