As Doreen watched the car’s taillights fade, tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to weep at her doorstep.
At Doreen’s cries, her parents hurried out, their expressions changing dramatically as they spotted Doreen weeping miserably. They promptly contacted Roscoe’s father, expressing their displeasure about Roscoe’s conduct.
Roscoe’s father was understanding, assuring Doreen’s parents that he would address the matter.
When Roscoe returned home, it was nearing 11 p.m.
The lights were on, illuminating the villa.
Sitting in the living room was Roscoe’s father, exuding a stern aura from his chair. “Disobedient child, kneel!” he bellowed.
Roscoe, seemingly not catching his father’s words, remained standing, his posture rigid.
Infuriated, Roscoe’s father commanded the butler to fetch a stick over, wanting to have Roscoe yield.
The butler complied. This stick was unique, inflicting sharp pain without leaving visible marks.
Roscoe’s father wielded the stick, striking Roscoe until the latter collapsed.
Throughout the ordeal, Roscoe remained silent, enduring the pain with gritted teeth. Even as blood trickled from his mouth, indicating his severe injuries, he bore the pain stoically.
Roscoe’s father, torn between anger and concern, lamented, “Roscoe, don’t resent me. I aim for your dignity to rise. Do you wish to be labeled a bastard forever?”
Roscoe, blood staining his lips, responded with difficulty, “I won’t depend on marriage for my status. I made that clear when I came back. I refuse to be part of such an alliance.”
“You!” Roscoe’s father, overcome with frustration, pointed at Roscoe, speechless with anger.
