Abusive Love
Chapter 1
I died at the hands of kidnappers.
They tortured me to death, plain and simple.
And my parents?
They were at my cousin’s engagement party
with my fiancé.
Since childhood, she’d always wanted to take
everything from me.
My toys, my clothes…
And finally, my parents and my fiancé.
L
“Mom, Dad, Ashley’s just being difficult again!
She doesn’t want to let me have Jake!”
My parents believed her, and they didn’t call
the cops right away.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to
the day Mom brought Ashley home.
This time, I wasn’t going to let her get away
with it.
“Tiffany…”
I heard Ashley’s timid voice beside me.
Snapping back to reality, I wasn’t in that filthy
pig farm, but in my own familiar home.
I looked at my dad standing next to me, Mom
く
in front of me, and Ashley holding Mom’s
hand, putting on a pathetic show.
I knew I’d been reborn.
Last time, Ashley schemed to steal everything
from me, and it still wasn’t enough.
She wanted me dead.
She had her eyes on my fiancé, Jake.
My parents forced me to give him up to her.
I refused.
I’d been forced to give her everything since I
was a kid.
So she hired some thugs to kidnap me out to
<
the countryside, telling them to take care of
- me.
When my parents realized I was missing,
Ashley convinced them I was just being
dramatic, so they didn’t call the cops right
away.
And that’s how I was tortured to death, every
inch of my body ruined.
In the end, those kidnappers threw my body
into a meat grinder to make pig feed.
I remembered that hatred.
I wasn’t going to let her get away with it this
time!
“Auntie… is Tiffany not happy with me?
Maybe I should go to an orphanage. I don’t
want to bother you.”
I hadn’t even said a word, and Ashley was
already trying to make me look bad.
I immediately put on a shocked expression,
exaggerating my tone.
“Ashley, don’t be silly! I just think you’re so
pretty, I’m speechless with happiness! How
can you say that?”
To show how much I liked Ashley, I rushed
forward and hugged her tight, and when my
parents weren’t looking, I pinched her waist
hard a few times.
“Ouch…”
L
Ashley was about to cry out, but I put my
hands on her cheeks, pinching them so she
couldn’t talk.
“Don’t call them ‘Auntie‘ and ‘Uncle‘ anymore.
Call them ‘Mom‘ and ‘Dad‘, like me, okay?”
It wouldn’t be long before my parents told
Ashley to call them Mom and Dad anyway.
I might as well be the first to suggest it.
Sure enough, my parents were pleased when I
said that.
Seeing me holding Ashley tightly, they thought
I was being the bigger person.
“Ashley, don’t be shy. Go on, call them Mom
and Dad!”
I released her and passed the chance right to
her.
Her face and waist were killing her, but under
the expectant gaze of my parents, she could
only force the pain down and obediently say,
“Mom… Dad.”
I watched Ashley with a wry smile.
This was just an appetizer.
The real show was just beginning!
I put my arm around Ashley’s shoulder, trying
to steer her inside.
Of course, I wasn’t just steering her.
I squeezed her shoulder and dug my nails in.
Ashley couldn’t take it.
She yanked her arm out of my grip.
I stopped, feigning hurt, tears welling up as I
looked at my parents.
“Mom… Dad, does Ashley not like me?”
Ashley didn’t expect me to say that.
She froze, unsure of what to do.
My dad frowned and gave Ashley a look
before pulling me close, reassuring me,
“Ashley’s just new. She’s shy. Don’t take it to
heart, sweetie!”
Г
I nodded obediently, a tear strategically rolling
down my cheek.
Seeing me cry, Dad scooped me up in his
arms, glaring at Mom.
“Oh, Ashley’s just a little shy. The two of you
just need to spend some time together.”
Mom smoothed things over, grabbing Ashley’s
hand.
Dad didn’t seem pleased, carrying me inside.
I snuggled against Dad’s shoulder, whispering,
“Is Mom mad? Dad, please don’t be angry
with Mom and Ashley because of me. I’m the
older sister, I’ll give in to her!”
L
Hearing me, my dad was protective of me.
“Don’t talk like that! You’re my daughter. I’m
not going to let you suffer!” ··
Last time, Dad had been tricked by Ashley, so
he gradually started to favor her.
But this time was different.
I remembered that on Ashley’s first day, she
had slept on the couch in the study.
That night, Ashley had fallen off the couch
and hurt her face.
My parents had let Ashley share a room with
- me.
コ
Every morning, that little backstabber made
sure to be on the floor when Mom came in,
claiming that I didn’t want her to sleep in the
bed.
Because of that, my parents scolded me, and the next day, they swapped out the couch in the study and bought Ashley a pretty princess
bed.
I wasn’t going to let that happen again.
I offered to sleep in the study and give Ashley
my room.
“Mom, Dad, Ashley’s still young. She can have
my room!”
“Then where will you sleep?”
く
“I’ll sleep in the study.”
I went to Ashley, taking her hand and inviting
her to see my room.
Ashley knew something was up, but with my
parents watching, she couldn’t refuse, so she
let me drag her to my room.
“Tiffany is so grown up, just like a sister!”
Mom watched us, pleased.
But Dad saw it differently.
“What do you mean, ‘like a sister‘? She’s my
baby girl. All our love was for her, and now
there’s an outsider. She must be feeling so
sad!”
く
Seeing Mom favoring Ashley, Dad started
complaining.
“Doesn’t Ashley have her grandparents? Why
aren’t they taking care of her?”
Hearing that, Mom got angry, and started
arguing with Dad.
“What do you mean by that? Ashley’s so
pitiful. My brother and sister–in–law died so
suddenly, leaving her alone. If I don’t take
care of her, who will? Are you even human?”
“You can’t let her make our daughter
miserable! You’re so biased!”
Dad and Mom were arguing when we heard a
crash from the room.
Г
The next second, Ashley started crying.
Mom and Dad ran into the room.
The first thing they saw was shattered glass
on the floor, and then the cut on Ashley’s
face.
I stood there, looking at my parents.
Mom saw that I was fine, but Ashley was hurt.
She was sure I had hurt Ashley.
