And Alex?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had never felt more liberated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one last, final punch, he sent Jasper collapsing onto the floor, groaning in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex straightened, adjusting his sleeves with an air of complete indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without sparing Jasper another glance, he turned toward the door, stepping past Camila, who stood frozen in silent horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was quiet, but it echoed with finality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This house was never a home to me. I’m leaving. And this time, I’m never looking back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned toward Camila and said with cold expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was truly lucky that I avoided a shitty person like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camila’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night air was crisp as Alex stepped out of the villa, leaving behind the remnants of his shattered past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps were slow and measured, yet unwavering as he walked away from the grand estate that had never felt like home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bruises on his ribs throbbed with every breath, and the sting on his cheek where Jasper had struck him burned against the cold breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex didn’t falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had endured far worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had survived years of torment, degradation, and humiliation—tonight was simply the final act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A taxi pulled up at the curb, its headlights piercing the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex slid into the back seat and gave the driver an address—a small apartment where Mary, the only person he could truly call family, was waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he arrived at the apartment complex, exhaustion weighed heavily on him, yet he forced a neutral expression onto his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to show his gloomy side and make the first impression on the Waters family wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he rang the doorbell and stepped back, shoving his hands into his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the door swung open, revealing Adriana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dark eyes instantly scanned him, and before he could even force a smile, her expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alex,\" she said slowly, her voice controlled but firm. \"What happened to your face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex blinked, feigning confusion. \"What? Nothing. I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana grabbed his chin, tilting his face towards the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips pressed into a thin line as she took in the evidence of Jasper’s assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red imprint, the swelling, the faint discoloration blooming across his cheekbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex, on the other hand, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire 22 years of his life, no one bothered to care about the bruises and slap marks on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, suddenly, his half sibling, whom he had hardly met once, was concerned about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what he focused on was living with Mary. He forgot about all of his half siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Adriana left go of his face and said calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t lie. Mother would be upset if she saw the slap mark. Wait here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex tensed slightly at Adriana’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared his throat and forced a small chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing, really. Just an argument that got a little... heated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t push further. Instead, she stepped aside, allowing him to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in. Mother’s been waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment was much smaller than he had expected, and for a moment, Alex even wondered if the Waters family would even allow him live with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within 4 steps he reached the dining room, where all the members of the Waters family were sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex spotted Mary. She had a tensed expression on her face. Not the loving and nervous expression he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam had a grim and gloomy aura, while Olivia and Theodore looked uninterested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas stared at the table, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from the atmosphere, it was clear that no one welcomed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Alex wanted to turn around and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did they even invite him in when they weren’t interested in meeting him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even started to regret raising his voice against Jasper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him remaining standing, Lucas spoke without looking in his direction,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come and sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gulped and walked up to his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold welcome had destroyed the little bit of hope he had in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex lowered himself into the seat, his back straight and his hands resting tensely on his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Olivia, who had remained indifferent until now, let out an audible sigh and leaned back in her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look,\" she began, her tone devoid of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we invited you to stay here, you shouldn’t start expecting too much from us. Just because we share blood doesn’t mean—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice faltered as her gaze flickered toward Alex’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, her carefully crafted detachment cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slap mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vivid imprint of Jasper’s hand, red and glaring against the pale canvas of Alex’s skin, stood out in stark contrast to the rest of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s brows knitted together in a frown as she turned to Adriana, her voice taking on an accusatory edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, Adriana? If you were going to slap him, you could have at least told me first. You should’ve held back a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s expression darkened, her posture stiffening. She exhaled sharply, her patience clearly fraying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t slap him,\" she said flatly, irritation flashing in her eyes. \"Do you think I would waste my energy on something so ridiculous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her denial was firm, but Olivia, still unconvinced, continued to study Alex’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could interject, another shift in the atmosphere pulled Alex’s attention. A soft rustling of fabric, a barely perceptible inhale—Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been silent, unmoving, since the moment Alex arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as her eyes locked onto the mark marring his cheek, something in her demeanor changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension that had kept her shoulders rigid melted away into something raw, something almost fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers twitched at her sides before she instinctively reached for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway there, she stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","d2f4997723813f81ebfeeeda69524563d80a7f34b27545c429d89ce36b40521d","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-418","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-417",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
