Kendrick's POV
The sting from my mother's palm lingered against my cheek. For a moment I just stood there, staring at her with wide eyes, unable to process what had just happened.
Why was she so upset with me all of a sudden?
I looked at Raymond and Sameen, they stared at me with mocking smiles.
"You betrayed your family because of a girl!" my mother's voice cracked, laced with fury and heartbreak.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her eyes shimmered with something between rage and disappointment.
"After everything your father has done for you, this is how you repay him?" she asked me with a disappointed expression.
I just blinked and stared at her with a confused expression.
What nonsense was she talking about?
"Betray… him?" I asked her with a hoarse voice while pointing in Raymond's direction.
"Mom, you can't be serious," I said with a confused tone.
"Serious?" she cut me off, almost spitting the word at me, she couldn't hide the fury in her eyes.
