Delilah's POV
After one hour!!!
*
“Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!” I heard someone calling my mother’s name. I covered my ears with a pillow because of the disturbance in my sleep.
“Delilah!” Nova and Zoey shook my body so that I could wake up, but I ignored them. I knew no one could find mom because I had tied her in the store room, sticking tape on her mouth. That was necessary for the things which I was going to do next.
“Where is my hot chocolate? And coffee for my mom and dad, bitch?”, That spoiled little brat Andrian yelled.
My mom and my sisters were not anyone's personal slaves.
“Delilah, right now, only he is shouting, soon….”
“You two go inside the washroom and lock it from inside.”, I said, still hiding my ears with my pillow.
“But…”
“GO.”, I ordered, and I felt them leave. ‘Come here! Andrian, I will start my day by teaching you a lesson first.’, I thought.
“Nova, Zoey!! Nova, Zoey!! Where did you two die?” he yelled, slamming the door of our room loudly. I was sure that he would have found me sleeping on the bed peacefully. He held my legs and shook my body.
“Delilah, wake up!! And prepare breakfast and another thing. I have to go on training.”
I lazily removed my pillow from my head and looked at him till my elder sisters were there, I had never faced this situation, and I could sleep till school time. But those days were gone one.
“Let me sleep, Andrian. Ask your mother to do the work.”, I said and hid my face with the pillow again.
“No! That’s your mom and your sister's job. My mom won’t do it.”, he shouted and snatched my pillow. “I said wake up!!”
I opened my eyes and glared at him. I had never raised my hand to my sisters and wasn’t planning to do the same to him, but that didn’t mean he would disrespect his elders or me. Leave my mother, I was seven years older than me, and he was talking to me in this tone?
I grabbed his arm and pulled him near me, he tried to hit me with his hands, but I grabbed both his hands and pressed them on his back. He then started wiggling in my arms like a fish who just came out of the water.
“Mom, Dad..” he cried helplessly.
“Ssshhh!! Quite if you don’t want me to hit you.”, I said, coming dangerously closer to him.
“Mo…Aaaaaaa!!”, He cried in pain when I twisted his ear.
“I said silence; the louder you will cry, the harder I will twist your ear.” I threatened, and he quickly shut his mouth, sobbing slowly.
“Now onwards, neither my mom nor my sisters will work like a free slave in this house. If you need food or anything, then demand it from your mother, and in case she fails to do that, then you will ask politely or request Mom, Nova, and Zoey. But not me. Did you get that clear?” I asked, on which he nodded his head.
“Great.” I let him go when I thought he had learned his lesson, and he quickly ran out, not before threatening me by pointing his index finger.
“Now, just wait and watch. I’m going to call Mom and will lie to her that you hit me.”
Really?
Well, today, I was prepared for everyone.
“Mom!! Mom!!” I heard a loud voice from Andrian.
“What happened, sweetheart?”
“That Delilah hit me hard and also threatened me.”, he cried.
“How dare she!! I will break her hand, which she raised to hit you.”, That bitched screamed, and then I heard the sound of her slipper coming toward me, along with her little messenger.
“How dare you, witch!! You hit the next heir of this family.”, She screamed and walked inside my room. “Wake up, Delilah! I said wake up!”, She screamed at the top of his lungs.
I lazily lift my head and a tight slap plastered on my cheek. I felt slight pain, but I was positive that after hitting me, her palms would be in pain more than I was.
“Bitch!! Until now, your sisters and mother saved you from my anger. Otherwise, I would have ripped your skin away from your body. I always kept an eye on how lazy you were from the beginning but as long as those three were here. I avoided teaching you a lesson earlier; it didn’t mean that I couldn’t do that now.”, She yelled.
“Are you going to leave the bed or not?”, She screamed again, on which I left the bed, and I saw that tiny devil grinning widely behind her mother.
“Mom, she also said that ‘Now onwards, neither my mom nor my sisters will work like a free slave in this house. If you need food or anything, then demand it from your mother’.” he said, mimicking my lines.
“Really?”
“And what will you all do? Eat free food?”, She raised her hand to slap me again, but instead, I held her hand and slapped her at tightly as I could. Immediately Andrian stopped grinning and looked at me in fear. I slapped again on her other cheek; I kept slapping continuously until she and her son were out of my room.
Even after this, she tried to slap me again. Could you believe that?
I held her hand and twisted it. “Dare to disturb my sleep, and I swear, I will rip your skin from your body.”
“I get it, sweetheart. I get it, sweetheart!”
