Chapter 11 +25 BONUS "Josie York ! " Timothy shouted . He seemed to lose control , too . He grabbed the golf club from me and flung it aside before raising his hand . However , he restrained himself with all his willpower , ultimately stopping himself from hitting me again . I curled my lips into a mocking smile . " Why aren't you doing it ? Can't bring yourself to hit me again ? " As he froze , unsure of what to say , I slapped him hard across the face . He owed it to me and our daughter , but he also owed us far more . If Timothy had shared even a fraction of my grief and felt a sliver of my agony back then , I wouldn't have broken down like this . But all he'd done was fuss over Yasmin and Daphne . He hadn't even shed a single tear for my daughter . He licked the blood from the corner of his lips and said icily , " She's lost her mind . Take her back to her room so she can cool off . " I was drained from everything that had just happened , so I had no strength left to resist . I trudged back to my room , feeling exhausted . Not long after , I heard Yasmin's voice come from behind me . " Tim , look at my face ! How am I supposed to film next month ? Daphne didn't mean it . She's just a child ! Did Ms. York really need to lose it like that ? She behaved like a lunatic ! " Timothy asked sharply , " She's a child , but what about you ? You're an adult . Where were you when this happened ? I returned to my room . Even after an hour , I was still trembling . Just then , Laura knocked on the door and entered , holding the broken urn . She sighed and said , " Mrs. Grant , Mr. Grant told me to salvage what I could . I spent a long time gathering every speck I could find , but this is all that's left . " I looked at the damaged urn and the ashes that were reduced to less than half . I felt an overwhelming guilt toward my daughter . My hands shook as I ran them over the urn again and again . " I should've given her a proper burial back then . I was too selfish . I wanted her to stay with me . I didn't want her to be stuck in that dark , cold place ... " My voice broke , and I felt like my heart had been sliced open . I couldn't go on . Laura looked at me with pity as she said , " Mrs. Grant , I'm sure your daughter would forgive you if she saw what happened . She would know how much her mother loves her . " " Thank you , Laura , " I said as tears streamed down my face . I was genuinely grateful . If she hadn't stopped Yasmin , my daughter's ashes would have been sucked up by the vacuum cleaner . Later , Laura brought me dinner . She said , " Mr. Grant has made Daphne stand in the living room until 2:00 am as punishment . I think I also heard him scolding Yasmin . " I smiled wanly . What would such a half - hearted punishment change ? 1/2 Chapter 11 +25 BONUS At that moment , my heart felt dead . I looked out the floor - to - ceiling windows at the lavish , sprawling villa and realized it no longer belonged to me . Of the four people living here , I was the only outsider . I turned on my laptop and stared at the photos of Timothy's infidelity over and over . The tenderness he showed others was matched only by the cruelty he showed me . At that moment , I heard the sound of the doorknob turning and Timothy's familiar footsteps . BIG SALE : 3500 BONUS FREE FOR YOU !
