LIVING OFF

chapter 6 •WE WILL•

"I shouldn't have trusted you."

Ray sneered, he glared at the woman infront of him who is chuckling with sadism.

"Oh? But what did i do wrong?" Isabella replied in between her laughs.

"We agreed not to send her off until both her and Norman turn twelve!" Ray screamed, his frustration has shown. He inhaled sharply.

Mama chuckles and sat down on a chair while Ray stood at rooms entrance, fuming like a mad man.

"I did put up with that agreement though. I did say i won't have her until she's twelve but remember, i am not the only one in this. If they request for a high quality girl, i am not in the position to refuse." Isabella smiles at the raven head.

That being said, Ray flared up. All his frustrations finally oozing their way out.

"YOU COULD!" He screamed.

"YOU HAVE THE VERY POSITION TO REFUSE!"

Isabella settled a simple smile on her lips, her face potraying a feigned perplexed feature.

"Stop acting so unreasonable. Both of us know i couldn't have and even if i did, it wouldn't have caused any difference. Well unless of course if you're planning something unfavorable."

Ray gritted his teeth. It infuriates the living shit out of him, listening how Mama made it sound like she doesn't have a goddamned choice at all.

Ray grabbed a hold of his temper.

Ray comtemplated his thoughts. One question, just this question, would he ever want to be answered.

"Do you perhaps... resent us?" Ray spoke with a shaky voice. His lips quivering and his fist clenching.

"I never resented any of you, on the contrary, i loved all of you." Isabella placed a hand over her chest. With a sigh, she gazed at Ray lovingly.

The raven-head stared back at her. His thoughts overlapping with confused emotions.

The more Ray looks at Mama and the more Mama shows emotions like this, the more his thoughts crumple into disarray.

Is this pity?

Is this love?

Or is Mama being a delusional snitch.

"You love us?....." Ray bursted with a mirthless laugh. Grabbing a fistful of his silk-like black hair, he continues to laugh hysterically.

But Ray halted, the noise that came from him vanished into a hum and silence blanketed again.

"YOU LOVED US?!" Ray snarled at Mama.

Ray's lost-contact of Emma had turned him into a snapper.

Who would've thought that your daily calm-stoic-cyclops would turn into disheveled-irrational-uncontrollable monster.

"If you loved us, you wouldn't have sent Emma off! If you loved us, you wouldn't ship out anyone in the first place!" Ray growled as though canines had been covering themselves all this time.

"HOW CAN A MOTHER BE AS SELFISH AS YOU?!"

For a second, Isabella was stunned. Those exact words were the words she's been dodging this whole time. Isabella remembered everything she has done to get where she is right now.

She agreed to become a mama to avoid getting eaten or chopped. She got trained to the finest to earn the title, even got impregnated and gave birth to a child to complete the process.
