The Heir's Naughty Twins
104. Patience Reaching the Boundaries

Tamara did not want to see Hestia happy.

Never wanted to after he saw Melia lose her happiness.

So even though Melia said she made peace with Hestia, Tamara would never allow that peace to exist for Hestia.

Somehow, Tamara would not let Hestia smile broadly.

"Ma."

Hestia rebelled from the bonds of her hands and feet, panting at the cutter blade in Tamara's hands.

"Ma, calm down Mama. Justjust please. I beg you." Hestia rebel. Not because he was afraid of being killed or dying, but afraid that Tamara would actually do it.

He's lost his mind. The woman who didn't want to see Hestia happy after she was devastated saw her son destroyed.

Hestia understands him. Hestia deeply understood her love for Melia.

Tamara Mugkin is not a perfect mother, but she is Melia's mother. The woman who gave birth to Melia. She loves Melia far beyond herself.

"Ma, listen to me." Hestia continued to rebel. "Listen to me, please. Please, Ma. Mama doesn't have to do this."

"Then what?" Tamara directed the cutter with trembling hands. She was crying, but she hated Hestia so much from her eyes. "Then what?! You think I don't know?! Eros came to persuade your father! Eros wants him to apologize to you! You think it's done?! After that you live happily?! It will never!"

Hestia did not hear those words, frantically seeing their distance getting closer.

"Ma, Mama." Hestia continued to rebel. His heart was racing and he was starting to get scared.

Her stepmother no longer thought this was their home. If he were to injure Hestia, he would obviously go straight to jail. It would only make Melia tormented.

Hestia no longer wanted to be the reason her sister was tormented.

"Ma, listen. Listen to me first." Hestia was also trembling, honestly confused as to what to say in panic. "I'm going to go. Okay well? I'm going very far. I'm also getting a divorce from Eros. I'll do anything. Anything, so please stop."

"I don't need it!" Tamara yells. "You just have to suffer. That'sallthatis. I don't need anything else. Just shut up!"

How is this, how is this, how is this!

Hestia tried to glance around to find something. Anything. However, he must be free first.

"Ma, I did something wrong." Hestia has to buy time. "I did wrong to leave Melia. I'll take responsibility. I'll have Papa beat me again. I swear."

Tamara's views are increasingly hateful. "Your attitude that looks down on everything is the reason Melia got hurt!"

I have to scream. The thought inevitably came as the doubting Tamara became more self-assured.

He was obviously scared, but he was also angry and hated.

If I scream, the problem will get bigger.

The problem is if Hestia keeps quiet, Tamara may finish convincing herself and plunge herself into bigger trouble for injuring Hestia.

"Death, Hestia." Tamara arrived in front of him. "That way I can calm down."

There's no choice!

"MELIA, HELP ME!"

Hestia's screams startled Tamara. He spontaneously turned to the door, giving a gap for Hestia to nudge her body to the point of falling down. Although Hestia had to fall in a bound position on the chair, she did not have time to moan in pain.

"MELIE! MELIAA!"

Door's open hard. The waiter came to hear Hestia's cry instantly hysterical.

The commotion provoked everyone to come, both Melia, as well as Eros and Darius.

Tamara who had lost her mind no longer cared, rebelling from the confines of Melia's bodyguards and servants.

"GET OFF! RELEASE ME! HESTIA, GO AND TAKE YOUR MOTHER TO HELL! YOU FUCKING WOMAN! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN!"

"Mama!" Melia snapped at her mother hard. "Stop embarrassing me!"

"You stopped setting up Mama!" Tamara continued to rebel. "Pretend to forgive Hestia despite years of hating her! Stop your disgusting behavior, Melia! You who said you will reply! Reply him! Not peace!"
