A Trillionaire’s Revenge

Her hand meets with my face in less than a second. I frown but recompose my self. I avoid eye contact with her.

"Did your fear the Lord when you sold your only child for money? Please, mom. Drop the act. You aren't one to talk. Don't be a hypocrite." I say and turn to leave. At this point I wanted to cry. I was at the verge of breaking down.
