Chapter 3 - Martha Begs Richard To Stay Silent
Martha rushed forward, placing herself between Jason and Richard with tears streaming down her face.
“Please, Jason, don't listen to him; he’s just trying to hurt us because we’re leaving,” she pleaded desperately.
Jason looked down at his mother, confusion warring with the rising dread in his chest.
“Mom, what is he talking about? Is there something you never told me?” Jason asked softly.
Richard crossed his arms, letting out a heavy sigh that sounded like a final judgment.
“Your mother isn't just some poor woman from the suburbs who raised you alone, Jason,” Richard stated bluntly.
“Shut up! Just shut up, Richard!” Martha screamed, a sound of raw anguish that shocked everyone in the room.
