My Crazy Housemate: What Makes You Happy

Leo looked inside the house when they entered inside. It was small and looked uncomfortable. How come Mia lived in a place like this? He asked himself. 

There were only two old couches inside, a small wooden table that had seen better days, a really old box TV with a video player.. everywhere was small and congested, making it hard for him to breathe inside. He had never been inside a house as small as this.

He could see why Mia like his place. 'Ah! This girl.' He was just going to make sure she never returned there.

The three women looked at each other's faces before Mia stepped closer to Mary.

Although there was slight guilt in Mary's eyes, she tried to keep a challenging look which caused Mia to scoff at her. 

"Lower your gaze" Mia warned quietly but in a stern voice. Mary didn't have any right to look at her that way when she was supposed to be apologizing to her.

"Mia.." Linda called in a choked voice and that just seemed to set Mia off. She raised a hand and hit Mary's face with force which made her fall to the floor in shock and startling the other two people who were watching but no one tried to stop her. 

"What? Are you going to hit me back for hitting your precious daughter?" Mia entered at Linda before looking down at Mary.

"How dare you look at me with those filthy eyes of yours? How dare you do all you did!?" Mi raised her voice angrily and the fury was evident in her eyes. 

"How long have you both been meeting each other?" She turned to ask Linda. 

"Mia please... let's talk about this..." Linda pleaded as tears began to stream down her face.

"What is wrong with you Mia? Do you realise I am your older sister?" Mary asked from the floor as she looked at Mia angrily but also with fear.  

"So what if we've been meeting each other for a while now? What is wrong? Why are you overreacting? Is it because of the debt? Haven't you paid it already?" Mary asked. "Besides, I also sent mum some money. How do you think she's been able to pay her part for years? You think it's from the bakery?" 

Leo could not believe there was someone with an attitude like Mary. She wasn't even showing remorse at all. 

"Wow! You've actually been keeping in touch with each other for years?" Mia asked again even though she had guessed it.

"Mia please... this is.. we can explain... Mr Timothy... he was really after her... he would have sold her off for real..." Linda said as she tried to touch Mia's hand. 

Out of anger, Mia pushed Linda so hard that she wailed in pain when she landed on the hard floor but Mia didn't seem to mind what she had just done. In fact, this was the beginning.

Mia began to laugh as she looked at the both of them. 

"Ah! I have a lot to say but I don't even know where to start from." She said in between laughter as tears ran down her cheeks. 

She noticed Leo was coming closer and seeing how angry he looked, she turned to shake her head, telling him not to do a thing.

"I know where the problem lie Linda Lucas... you refused to discipline your daughter. But you know what? I'll help you do so." Mia said to Linda as she pointed at Mary.

"Make sure none of them leaves here." She instructed Leo before disappearing into one of the tiny rooms. 

"Mr King... we were wrong..  but this.. this isn't right... there was nothing we could do at that point and I'm sorry I used Mia..." 

"Enough about that.. what were you doing in the police station?" Leo asked, hoping that would distract him from the burning anger he was feeling right now. 

Linda also didn't know why Mary had been there so she also looked at Mary curiously while Mary looked at anywhere else but at the both of them.

"You had an affair with Mira's father and you knew who he was?" Leo asked darkly.

Why was she trying to ruin Mia's life? 

"She.... what?" 

Mia who was coming out from the room with a whip in hand looked at Leo in shock when she heard what he had just said.

Colour had completely drained from Mia's face. 

"Mary... what.. what is he talking about?" Linda asked Mary who was sitting beside her on the floor. 

Leo looked at Mia in confusion. He thought Mia knew about it since he hadn't followed her inside the police station but met them when the two sisters were already talking. 

"You were having an affair with Mira's father?" Mia asked quietly in disbelief. 

She wouldn't give Mary the benefit of doubt and say she didn't know he was Mira's father because he was quite popular and hearing the name 'Bill' was enough for Mary to know he was her friend's father. 

Mia remembered Mira's reaction earlier. The bruised, the cuts the tears on her face, the sad look. Mia couldn't stop the tears that left her face. Mira was one person who loved her a lot in the world and her sister just had to do this to her? 

Mary quickly stood up from the floor seeing how Mia was approaching her with a whip in hand. 

"We... we are in love." Mary said as she moved backwards. 

That was another bomb Mary had just dropped and they all looked at her in shock.

"You are in love? With Mira's father?" Mia asked carefully, trying to make sense of everything. 

"Mia stop this... I don't want to fight you." Mary said when her back was pressed to the wall while she looked at the whip in Mia's hand. It was the same whip their mother always used on Mia.

"Fight? No one is fighting here. I am beating you up." 

Mia raised the whip but felt a hand wrap around her waist to stop her. It was her mother. 

"Mia please... don't do this.." Linda begged. 

"If you don't get the f.u.c.k away from me right now, I am also going to whip you.. I swear on my life." She said darkly before pushing her mother away from her then the turned to Mary... when she lifted the whip this time, she didn't stop. 

She flogged Mary so hard and made sure there was no way Mary would escape her. 

When it looked like her pleas were falling on deaf ears, Linda hurried to stand in between Mary and Mia and hugged Mary, hoping Mia would stop. But she had been wrong. 

Mia didn't. 

Maybe it was time to throw her morals away and deal with this two piece of shit!
