Part 1The Unwanted Son's Sweet Revenge

I was born with superhuman strength, which made my mom hate me and favor my younger brother Kevin from the start.

But when my father had an affair, Kevin was the first to rush out and say he'd always wanted a new mom anyway.

Kevin rolled his eyes at our mom busy in the kitchen and said to me, "That old hag has no use anymore. Dad's new wife said she'd help me marry a rich girl. Why don't you hurry up and get rid of her for me?"

My father was having an affair. I saw it with my own eyes.

I rushed home, fuming with anger. Mom was cooking dinner. Without hesitation, I blurted out, "Mom! Dad's cheating on you. I saw it myself!"

She froze for a few seconds. Kevin burst in right after me, "That's not true! Mom, Jack is lying. I was with Dad all day."

Mom didn't hesitate for a second. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at me. Before I could question why Kevin was lying, a loud slap landed across my face.

The sound echoed through the room, leaving my head spinning.

"Mom..." I held my stinging cheek, staring back at her in shock.

"You deserve it!" Kevin smirked, adding fuel to the fire. "Mom, I think Jack did this on purpose. He's just trying to cause trouble because he's miserable and wants our family to fall apart!"

Mom instantly believed him, nodding along. "Well, well, Jack. I see that year away at college has made you forget your place!"

Without another word, she grabbed a metal hanger and started beating me with it.

Childhood fears came flooding back as the hanger whistled through the air, landing hard on my back.

"You really are an ungrateful monster!" Mom's blows were merciless, her eyes filled with hatred. "I should never have given birth to you!"

I saw Kevin grinning smugly behind Mom's back. All I could do was cover my bruised arms helplessly. "Mom, I really did see it..."

When Mom got tired, she tossed the hanger aside. "That's enough. No dinner for you tonight. Go to your room. I can't stand the sight of you."

Seeing I didn't move, she glared at me again. "What are you waiting for? Get out of my sight!"

Then she turned and gently took Kevin's hand. "Come on, I made your favorite beef stew. You haven't been home in so long, you need to eat up."

It seemed I had always been the outsider in this family.
