"Do you have no sense of shame, Caroline?

"Do you want to sleep with that bastard so much?" Dexter barked.

I fumed with rage until my vision was blurred.

I mustered all my strength and slapped him.

Dexter's head tilted, and a distinct mark was left on his fair face.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

I wanted to leave this family forever.

"Brother, this is the last time I call you like this.

"You don't deserve to be my brother."

Dexter raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and pursed his lips into a thin line. He looked like an enraged lion, trying hard to suppress his anger.

Dexter wondered.He went to the police station and reported my disappearance."How many days has she been missing?" asked the police."Seven days," Dexter replied guiltily."Are you her brother? Your sister has been missing for seven days, and you're only reporting it now?" said the policeman unpleasantly, his eyes scanning Dexter.A growing sense of unease gradually intensified in Dexter's heart.He couldn't think rationally at all.A voice kept ringing in his ear.
