Chapter 1 Unexpected Violence

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-28 11:02:32
My name was Melinda Summers. As the meaning of my name suggested, my appearance looked like a sweet, tender, and beautiful woman. I practically possessed all the qualities a man would desire in an ideal girlfriend.

I'd been doing image management for many years and gone through the strict training on how to become an eligible wife.

My parents had been laying the foundation for me to marry a fine young man in the future by teaching me to become a gentle, kind, and sweet young lady since I was young.

They often educated me on how a well-mannered young lady should behave. "As a young lady, you must be submissive and gentle because only then can you please your husband's family and marry a fine young man.

"We will disown you and have another obedient child if you ever behave like one of those disobedient children out there."

They would reprimand me whenever they saw that I'd gotten into a fight, "Melinda! Who allowed you to fight with others? Tell me, is this even the manner a decent young lady should have?"

They would also lecture me if they noticed me wearing non-ladylike outfits. "As a proper young lady, you should wear skirts and dresses! Pants are simply unacceptable! Do you think you can be like your brother? He is a son and the mainstay of our family."

I had mastered speaking in a voice that didn't exceed 40 decibels according to their wishes, regardless of the situation. I only ever owned dresses and skirts, which signified femininity, in my closet.

Once I grew up, I followed their advice and applied to a normal school specializing in training educators. Then, I became a teacher as soon as I graduated. Afterward, I went on a blind date with Oliver Kingsley, the man of my parents' choice.

Since I was young, beautiful, naive, and completely lacked experience with romantic relationships, Oliver adored me very much when he first met me. Thus, we completed our engagement ceremony within two months.

After getting engaged, I strictly followed my parents' guidance and tried my best to express my virtuousness, knowledge, sensibility, and any other qualities that would make me an eligible daughter-in-law in front of all members of the Kingsleys.

Sure enough, Oliver became more satisfied with me, and the entire Kingsleys also fancied the idea of me marrying into the family.

We held a grand wedding under our parents' arrangements a year later.

Today was the first day that I officially married into the Kingsleys and became Oliver's wife. I got up on time at 7.00 AM and showed up in the dining hall to prepare breakfast. Logically speaking, the housemaid should be the one making breakfast.

Therefore, I was surprised to discover that my mother-in-law, Charlotte Kingsley, was busy in the kitchen.

When she saw me, she snorted in derision, "Remember to get up early to make breakfast next time."

Although I felt disgruntled, I still raised the corner of my mouth and flashed her my typical sweet smile while nodding in agreement.

At the dining table, my father-in-law, Alexander Kingsley, picked a piece of an extremely delectable oven-baked sea bass and put it into his mouth.

However, he frowned as soon as he savored it. Then, he started rummaging through the dish with his fork.

It wasn't until he found an unnoticeable yellow slice in the dish that his originally gentle-looking face abruptly turned gloomy. After that, he furiously threw the fork at Charlotte's face.

"Why is it so hard for you to make a decent meal? I have told you plenty of times that I don't want to see even a trace of ginger in the dish! Even if the recipe requires it, you still have to take it out! Are you deaf or dead? Did you not understand my instructions?"

As he spoke, he suddenly slapped Charlotte's cheek. The slap sounded so sharp and crisp that it sounded like he must have slapped her with 100% of his strength.

Yet, things didn't end with the slap. Soon, Alexander rolled up his sleeves and kicked Charlotte, who had been sitting, to the ground.

I was so frightened by this unexpected situation that I sprung up from my seat and instinctively wanted to help the trembling Charlotte up from the ground.

I had just made a move when Oliver, who was sitting beside me, violently grabbed the hem of my dress. "Sit down. Dad is just disciplining Mom. It's fine."

    Oliver then continued to calmly pick up a piece of creamy garlic prawn using his fork and gave it to me. "Eat. We have to catch a flight later."When he saw that I was still looking at Charlotte, who had fallen on her knees, with a worried expression, he went on and patiently explained to me, "Mom did something wrong, so she deserves to be punished. "It's fine. She is already used to it. Besides, she will continue to make mistakes if Dad doesn't discipline her. Don't worry. The family doctor will be here soon."His tone when he spoke these words was so calm that it sounded as if the one being beaten in front of him wasn't his mother but a mere pet dog or cat. It also clued me onto the fact that it was very much expected for Alexander to beat Charlotte up just because of a tiny slice of ginger.My parents often taught me to treat the elderly with respect and be dutiful to them and my husband. After all, only a gentle, submissive, and well-behaved woman could keep hold of her husb

    Truth be told, the main reason why my parents had been very strict with my education since I was a child was that I was born with superhuman strength. To make matters worse, I had an awfully violent temper.When I was five, I gave the older man in our neighborhood, who tried to take advantage of me, a fatal blow on his lower body. It was that momentous occasion where my parents witnessed a sight that made their scalps tingle in the hospital.From then on, their eyes carried a hint of fear whenever they looked at me, especially my father. He seemed to view me as a monster, and I could always hear him giving my mother an earful behind my back. "That sure is some kind of monster you had given birth to! She is so freakishly strong! We can't let anyone know about this. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined!"As I was aware that my mother disliked me and my father was afraid of me, I had always been subservient to them. I would do whatever they asked me to do, even if it was something

    Perhaps he had never thought that a gentle woman could actually take a heavy punch from a tough guy like him before he struck me with his fist.In fact, not only did I block his fist with my palm, but I also slapped him in return.A bright red slap mark surfaced on Oliver's face almost immediately.He was confused as he looked at my palm, which had daintily caught his fist in disbelief.When we were dating, he cared for my hands the most. He praised my slender fingers and claimed they were especially suitable for playing the piano. He would often hold my hand and gently caress each of my delicate fingers. "Baby, please don't hurt your delicate fingers. Otherwise, I will feel bad. They are simply too delicate."Hence, he must have never thought that such a pair of delicate-looking hands like mine could easily block the fist of a masculine man like him.Similarly, he must have never thought that my hands could create clearly defined five fingerprints on his face with just one sla

    As his audacity slightly surprised me, I instinctively turned to look at him. Nonetheless, I eventually didn't tell my parents-in-law the truth.I was no fool. Of course, I understood that my husband cared about his reputation and was reluctant to tell his parents that he was the only one getting violently beaten during our fight against each other.Yet, my action of protecting his manly ego seemingly instantly granted him confidence in front of his parents. As a result, he started bossing me around again."Buy me a pack of cigarettes."I remained still and simply looked at him quietly instead of heeding his order.Oliver changed his mind after our brief stare-down and said, "Forget it. It's too late. It's dangerous for a young lady like you to go out late at night."Immediately afterward, he ended the video call.

    I smiled and ignored him.My slap seemed to have yet to strike fear in Charlotte's heart, for she rushed toward me again after gaining consciousness."I can't believe you would dare to slap me! Bitch! How dare you slap me!""So what? I can hit you whenever and wherever I want!"As I was getting fed up, I slapped her twice again, increasing my strength from 10% earlier to 30% this time.Charlotte's cheeks instantly swelled up badly. Blood even oozed from both corners of her mouth.Since I never thought that she couldn't sustain my beating, I rubbed my hands sheepishly."I'm sorry, Mother. I didn't expect you to get injured so easily. I have already reduced my strength by a full 70%."I was satisfied when I saw the frightened look in Charlotte's eyes.Then, I shifted my attention to Alexander, who sat in the living room and feigned ignorance all this while and said meaningfully, "Mother, Father said that the family motto of the Kingsleys is subduing others with force.
