Forbidden Love [BxB]

Chapter 22

Parsa's laughter echoed through the room, causing chills to run down my spine. My palms began to sweat as my heart pounded furiously, nearly leaping out of my chest from the tension I sensed from my position behind the door.

What's going on?!...

"It's quite funny, isn't it, Father?" Parsa chuckled, his voice filled with mockery. "I was raised by you, not her. Shouldn't you feel proud of your own creation?"

His father's voice rose in anger as he shouted back, "I raised you to be a man, a strong, respectable man! Not some maniac who sends people to the hospital for ridiculous reasons!"

His father paused and hissed, his voice laced with frustration. "The first time it was because someone accidentally splashed their drink on you, and the next time it was because another student tried to copy your damn assignment!... And the next one... Ugh... Gosh, I can't even remember the rest of them!"

Parsa remained silent, refusing to respond until his father asked, "Why did you break his ribs, legs, and hands, huh? What was it this time?

I sat there, my jaw hanging open, my entire body frozen in place.

Finally, Parsa responded with chilling calmness, "He was a bully."

His father laughed, "No one would dare bully you! Did you also rape him because of that!? Or are there not enough whores around you?"

Parsa said casually, "I didn't do that part. I just beat him."

"Why would you beat him?" His father asked sternly, "Answer me!"

"He touched something he shouldn't have..." Parsa finally confessed.

His father pressed further, becoming impatient. "And what is that thing?"

It's me...

Horror washed over me as my realization dawned upon me. My hands grew cold as ice, and I slowly hugged my knees, my back pressing against the door.

It's because of... me...

I triggered him even more by trying to stop him...

"I don't think I need to go into details," Parsa said sarcastically.

The sound of shattering objects filled the air as his father unleashed his fury. After his outburst subsided, he huffed, "You should count yourself lucky that his parents chose to reach out to me before reporting this to the school. Otherwise, you'd find yourself expelled by now!"

"So they only care about money, huh?" Parsa sneered.

"Do you think this is funn-"

His father's words were cut off as Shervin's voice filled the room. "H-Hello, Uncle..." He paused for a moment before asking curiously, "What's going on here?"

Parsa's father let out an uneasy "Oh..." and then asked, "How have you been, Shervin? Where's Parmis?"

Shervin responded awkwardly, "I've been fine... Um, she's washing her hands!"

Parsa's father stated, "Alright, then, it's time for us to head home now."

His footsteps echoed through the room, growing fainter, signaling that he had left the room.

Shervin crept closer, his voice barely audible as he whispered, "What's wrong with your father again?"

Parsa let out a mocking response, "He's just reaping what he sowed."

As the closet door opened, I stumbled backward, my body colliding with Parsa's legs. I found myself looking up into his eyes, completely shocked.

Shervin's voice rose in surprise as he exclaimed, "Oh! Sh*t!"
