Читать книгу Stolen Voices: A sadistic step-father. Two children violated. Their battle for justice. - Terrie Duckett - Страница 13

Since Mum had delegated all of the responsibility of punishments and chores to Peter, she seemed more relaxed. Paul and I both had our notebooks keeping careful track of all of our jobs and accounts, and the house was running a lot smoother, it was true. But it felt like a constant grind and we were exhausted. By the time we’d done jobs and homework and eaten, it was almost time for bed.

I was feeling resentful towards Mum for allowing Peter to have total control of our lives. I got back from school feeling really tired, it had been a really hard day, to find Peter lounging on the sofa, with his feet up on the table.

‘Finally! You’re late, Terrie. I’m hungry.’ he said, not once taking his eyes off the TV screen. ‘Make me scrambled eggs on toast with coffee!’

I was annoyed. I was sure he’d been here all day. Lazy bastard should try cooking it for himself, I thought. I had enough to do. I’d never seen him make so much as a coffee for anyone else.
