“Daniel Harper! What did I ever do to deserve this ?!”
“I risked my life giving you a son, I’ve slaved away taking care of you two.”
“And you repay me with a mistress and a bastard?”
“Do you have any shame?”
Daniel’s response was one word:”Divorce.”
“I forced you to do this?”
“We’re done. Divorce!”
“You call that idiot a son? Look at him!”
“Twelve years old,six feet tall,250 pounds!”
“A stutterer who does nothing but eat,drink,and sleep!”
“Fifty points on a junior high entrance exam?I’d score more by stepping on the answer sheet !”
“Divorce! I’m done! Take your’little lover’and get out!”
Then He yanked Tommy from the corner,shoving him at Lily.
He slapped Tommy’s head.
Tommy, raised solely by his mother and closer to her,saw Daniel hit him and yell at her.
As Lily cried,Tommy’s fist landed on Daniel.
His violent genes unleashed,Tommy beat him senseless.
When police arrived,Daniel’s bones were broken.
An ambulance took him away.
Tommy,a minor with Lily’s forgiveness letter,didn’t even spend a night in custody.
Daniel,recovering,investigated Tommy’s school years.
The findings shocked him.
Tommy started lifting girls’ skirts in first grade.
Classmates shunned him.
He turned to boys,who,after being teased,told their parents.
The teacher called Lily multiple times to discuss her son’s behavior.
But each time, she’d double down, insisting her son could do no wrong—it was always someone else’s fault.
The teacher gave up but couldn’t expel him due to the law.
Tommy was relegated to the back of the class.
His and Lily’s actions spread among students and parents.
No one spoke to him;they avoided him.
Tommy was silently ostracized.
Even teachers pretended he was invisible.
Lily,informed,caused scenes at school until security barred her.
She turned to Daniel,who promised to handle it.
His solution?Burgers and fries Lily banned,telling Tommy to lie about getting along at school.
Lily stopped complaining.
By sixth grade,kids gained judgment.
They saw Lily’s videos,where she called Tommy her”little lover.”
Bullied kids mocked him as such.
Soon,the nickname spread school-wide.
Lily was proud of this, she even posted a video of her and Tommy bathing naked.
Tommy’s "excitement" visibly tenting the bathwater, she grabbed him,delighted. Rather than recoil, she giggled and grabbed him, cooing about "my big strong boy”
The video was removed quickly but screen-recorded,mosaiced,and shared.
Daniel,bedridden,saw it and spat blood,cementing his divorce resolve.
