Chapter 7 - The Father's Cold, Explosive Rage
The father stood up slowly, carrying Noah securely in one arm while turning to face the wretched woman in the doorway.
The raw fury returning to his eyes was so terrifying that the stepmother actually staggered backward in physical dread.
“You locked a seven-year-old boy in a windowless room with no food, no water, and no bed,” the father stated dangerously.
“I was teaching him discipline! Your lax parenting was ruining these children!” she shrieked, clinging to her delusion.
“Discipline?” the father whispered, taking a slow, measured step toward her with every muscle in his body rigid.
“That isn't discipline; that is torture, and you are going to pay for every single second of this nightmare.”
He walked past her down the hallway, carrying Noah downstairs where the little girl was still waiting anxiously by the sofa.
The sister ran forward, throwing her arms around Noah’s legs as the siblings reunited in tearful, heartbreaking relief.
