Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1958

Ellen's father set the bag of food down on the table, digging around in it for a while before saying, "F*ck! Where's the sandwich I like? Why didn't you get it for me? Do you think I'm worthless, too?"

Her father glowered at her coldly, and Ellen shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Sorry, Dad. Love Grocer doesn't have sandwiches anymore."

"Are you saying they didn't have the discounted sandwiches today?"

"No, not just today. Love Grocer isn't going to put the sandwiches on discount anymore. I'm afraid you won't be able to have them now, Dad."

Ellen lowered her head, feeling a shred of glee creep into her chest. This was the closest she could get to rebelling against her father. Ellen had drained all her time and energy to support this family, but her father had never been grateful.

"What the f*ck did you just say? That motherf*cking Love Grocer took my favorite food out of the discount list? This is all your f*cking fault! Come here!"

Ellen's father grabbed her by her hair, dragging her to the living room, uncaring of her screams. He took out his belt, landing lash after lash against her body.

"This is all your fault! I would have never ended up like this if I hadn't married your mother, and I wouldn't have had to give up that job with a hundred-thousand-dollar paycheck if I hadn't had you. All of this is your fault, all of it! You're the reason I'm living like this, Ellen!"

Yet Lisa was already jerking harshly, having descended into a daze once more and deaf to Howie's words. Howie glanced at Ellen and turned to heat the food up.

Howie left the house after dinner with Ellen's money. Ellen took a shower, changing into clean clothes before wheeling her mother to the balcony as they gazed at the stars in the sky.

That was something Ellen did almost every day. Despite the fact that she had requested a daily salary that she would give to her father after coming home from work, he was still dissatisfied and would beat Ellen every day before leaving home with the money.

Ellen swallowed a sob as she gazed at the stars. Who knew when living like this was going to end? Ellen was sick of Howie and desperately wanted to run away, but he managed to find her every time he moved. Ellen did not know how she was going to change her fate.
