It's already on my Patreon. Will be posted here next week. Chapter 9 of 15.
Meanwhile, here's a snippet.
"You're a pathetic piece of shit, sister-fucker!" Mark spat at John.
"Oh please," John scoffed. "You did the same shit for years, so don't act like you're any better."
"Oh, go fuck yourself, you half-breed bastard!" countered Mark with a cruel smirk.
"We have the same parents, dumbass! They're married!"
"Wrong. You're not even our dad's bastard child. Mom doesn't even know who your real father is!" Mark's words hit John like a physical blow and he stumbled back.
Meanwhile, Melody had overheard their argument and appeared in the doorway, hoping to intervene. But her timing couldn't have been worse. She gasped in shock at Mark's revelation and covered her mouth with her hand.
John saw her reaction and immediately demanded an answer. "Is it true?" His voice was filled with hurt and betrayal as he stared at Melody.
She hesitated for a moment before nodding, confirming Mark's words. Before she could explain any further, John turned and ran downstairs without another word.
Melody stood frozen in horror, until the slam of the front door jolted her into action. She lunged at Mark, her fists flailing as she tried to inflict some kind of pain on him.
"You fucking moron! You've ruined everything!" she shrieked as she tried to scratch his eyes out.
Taken aback by Melody's sudden outburst, Mark tried to defend himself. "He deserved to know the truth!" he shouted, while trying to dodge her punches.
