When Life Takes A Turn

Zayn Larson was doing the whole family’s laundry when his mother-in-law.Ruby Lewis threw another item at his face.She arrogantly commanded.

"Zayn.wash this piece of mine first." The corner of Zayn’s lips twitched.

He felt that his mother-in-law’s gradually worsening attitude was pushing him beyond his limit.He said to her.

"Mom.could you please put your laundry in the basket the next time you want me to wash it and not toss it at my face? I’m still your son-in-law after all."

It felt so degrading having a piece of clothing hanging on his head like that.His mother-in-law slapped him across the head.

"Do the laundry as you're told.Cut the crap or I'll stuff it into your mouth next time.You think a good-for- nothing like you has the right to complain? I'll tell you this don’t even think about eating today if you don’t clean it properly!"

Still feeling like she had not vented her anger sufficiently.she gave his head another slap.

Zayn's entire body shook with rage.His mother-in-law said dismissively.

"What? Have you had enough? You want to hit back? Try it.Try and hit me.Give it a go.I won't even be mad.In fact.I'll commend you for having the guts to touch me even once.Can you do that.you useless piece of sh*t?!"

If he could, Zayn would have retaliated without hesitation.

The Carters had treated him worse than a dog over the past few years giving him nonstop chores throughout the day.

He was frequently not allowed to have enough food just because he was a son-in-law living with his wife’s family.

Moreover despite being married for four years.he had not even managed to hold his wife's hand.

They called him son-in-law, but in reality.he was just a slave to the Carters.

"Like the spineless worm you are.you don't even have the courage to fight when you're told to.A man is better off dead than having to live like you!" his mother-in-law yelled maliciously.

Zayn lowered his head and clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost cutting into his flesh yet he did not have the nerve to make a sound.

"Mom.how many times have I told you not to toss your clothes at Zayns’ face? He has his dignity too." Upon hearing that.

Zayn shivered from head to toe.He looked up and saw an exquisite lady standing at the doorway with a slight frown on her face.

It was his wife the beautiful Faye Carter.He also saw the distance and disappointment in her eyes.

"Dignity? Ha-ha! Ask him and see if he has any dignity or if he knows what dignity is?" His mother-in-law said with a sneer.

"I wish he was a dignified man so nobody would look down on our family anymore! But could he be that?" Faye gazed at Zayn in anticipation and saw that he remained completely unmoved which made her even more disappointed.It seemed that she had truly misjudged Zayn and he really was just a hopeless good-for-nothing.

"Alright.Mom.Let's get ready to leave.Dad is waiting for us downstairs." Faye said.

Realizing what was happening.his mother-in-law pulled Faye to the side and said in hushed tones.

"Fifi, is there no other way? From what I've heard.Wilson is a hideous.fat old man!"
