Curtis spoke in a low voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he realized he messed up, Michael didn\u2019t reflect. He ran from it. Grandpa cut him off financially and forced him to carry the debt alone. A man with no sense of responsibility thought of one solution. He used his wife and her family. He sweet\u2013talked her, took all her money, and got addicted to gambling. He believed if he bet around a hundred million, he could win back billions. He even ignored her begging and pawned the heirlooms her parents left her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis continued, his tone getting colder. \u201cWhen she finally saw what kind of man he really was and wanted a divorce, he refused. She asked for money. Michael had none.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Grandpa found out, he was furious. He kicked your dad out of the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he already owed gambling debts. You think the casino people would just walk away? They took him and told him to get money from Grandpa and his wife. But she had nothing left. So they made Michael lure her out instead. Because she was known as one of the most beautiful women in Harborton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis stopped for a moment. His whole body tensed. Even his voice trembled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The veins on the back of his hand stood out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s body tensed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t imagine what happened afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was horrified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Curtis kept going. \u201cShe was already pregnant when it happened. Michael tricked her into meeting those men. They violated, tortured, and abused her. She completely broke down afterwards.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A once sheltered rich girl who believed in love was destroyed. She turned into someone who lost her sanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey even broke Michael\u2019s leg right in front of her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis gave a small, bitter laugh. \u201cAnd instead of reflecting on himself, he blamed her. He said that if she had given him the money earlier, none of this would have happened. For years, he mentally tortured the woman who had already gone mad. He called her a slut. He called me, after I was born, a bastard.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curtis let out a mocking laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The day Curtis was born, the first thing that woman did was to try to strangle him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold rushed in and snatched the baby from her hands. Later, he confirmed through a DNA test that Curtis was indeed a Lincoln. Harold saved Curtis\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But after that, everything only got worse. Michael started drinking heavily. He stayed out all night. After he broke his leg, he became insecure, angry, and violent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their marriage turned toxic. They dragged young Curtis down with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When both parents were lunatics, how can the child grow up normal?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even before Curtis could remember, he was being abused. And when his memory finally formed, his mother became something worse than a stranger. She treated him like her enemy. Every time she saw him, all she saw was the reminder of how she was violated. She was already pregnant with him then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis never hated her. As a child, he even felt sorry for her. He never called that woman his mom. But he also never thought of hurting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hurt him a thousand times. All he thought was, just hold on. It\u2019ll be better when I grow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she only grew more extreme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Michael didn\u2019t come home, she recorded videos of her abusing Curtis and sent them to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Michael was out partying with other women, she made Curtis stand in the garden all night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were many times he would\u2019ve died if Harold hadn\u2019t arrived in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold wanted to take Curtis away. She refused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cWe\u2019re all crazy in this house. If we\u2019re crazy, then Curtis should be too. He should stay and suffer with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, Michael brought another woman home. That was when she finally snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the woman to death. Then she turned toward Curtis, ready to kill him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Little Curtis was crying and begging her to stop, but all he saw in her eyes was killing intent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She stabbed him. And in that instant, something inside her suddenly woke up. Maybe it was the last spark of motherhood. She broke down in tears. With shaking hands, she placed the bloody knife in Curtis\u2019s palm and whispered through sobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, save me. Save your mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For years, the memory haunted Curtis like a shadow he could never escape. It turned into a nightmare. A woman covered in blood, screaming for him to save her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was no longer herself. Her mind was gone, lost to pain and pure despair. Death was the only way out for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She grabbed her young son\u2019s hand, pressed the tip of a knife against her chest, and begged Curtis to help her end it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Curtis was only a child. He sat in the pool of blood, silent. His face slowly lost its softness. His eyes turning darker, colder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, he helped her push the knife through her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then he just sat there, calmly, beside her body, waiting for the police to arrive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis never told Denton everything. He didn\u2019t tell him that he was the one who ended her life. He only told him her death was caused by Michael. Her pain. Her despair. Her madness. All because of Michael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Michael never reflected. Never felt guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He only said she had always been crazy from the start. He believed that he was just unlucky to have married a madwoman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He never understood; it was his words, coldness, carelessness, and cruelty that slowly destroyed her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis,\u201d Denton\u2019s voice was hoarse. He looked down, feeling a tight burn in his eyes, but he didn\u2019t cry. He felt he didn\u2019t even have the right to cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
