Villains Beware My Mommy Punches Hard
The sun shone gently over the vine-wrapped courtyard. Beaux knelt on one knee, a diamond ring cradled in his palm, his voice so tender it could melt into water: "Melody, marry me."
The next second—a blur of motion.
"Boom—!"
A fist slammed into Beaux’s jaw, sending him flying backward, crashing into a marble round table. Porcelain cups shattered, tea spilled like blood.
Silence blanketed the scene.
The attacker was Melody’s mother—Mimi. Barefoot on the broken shards, her white dress flapping in the wind, she stared down with eyes as cold as ice-forged blades. She crouched, gripping Beaux by the throat, her whisper soft as a lullaby: "Call me Mom. You think you’re allowed to marry my daughter? Do you even dare?"
Beaux’s brother, Wyatt, shot to his feet, hand instinctively reaching for the tactical knife at his waist. But he didn’t move. His gaze locked onto Mimi, throat tightening—as if staring at a ghost that should not exist.
"Mi… Mia?" His voice trembled.
No answer came. Only the wind rustling through the courtyard, brushing aside strands of hair from Mimi’s forehead, revealing an old barcode tattoo behind her ear—the military’s top-secret code: M-117.
That night, at the family birthday banquet.
Beaux’s grandfather sat at the head table, silver-haired and imposing. His eyes swept across the guests before settling on Mimi, lips curling into a sneer. "A madwoman living off my charity—daring to strike my grandson? Guards! Lock her in the basement. Let her keep company with the other ‘failures.’"
Before the words fully faded—
"Shing!"
A dragon's cry rang out as steel left its sheath.
Mimi tore free the Chinese sword mounted decoratively in the corner. Her blade flashed like snow—flick, twist, spin—three streaks of frost aimed at three guards’ throats. They didn’t even see her move. All three dropped to their knees, clutching their necks, blood gushing.
She turned, the tip of the sword pointing straight at the old man. "Twenty years ago, you pulled me from the battlefield, carved out my memories, labeled me, trained me, raised me like a lab rat." A smile touched her lips, but her eyes held no warmth. "But you forgot one thing—soldiers’ muscles may forget their enemies, but never how to kill."
Gasps erupted throughout the hall.
Wyatt suddenly laughed low, then ripped open his shirt, revealing the same barcode on his chest: "Mom… I’ve waited eighteen years for this moment."
Beaux remained frozen on the floor, watching as the woman he loved stepped slowly toward Mimi, took her hand, and whispered: "Mother, let’s go home."
Because Melody was never a daughter.
She was a clone—Mimi’s own genetic twin, born of science, shaped by vengeance, grown to replace.
And Beaux? Merely a pawn—destined to suffer most deeply—in this long, calculated game.
Music still played. The candles on the cake burned quietly.
Then—darkness.
