I won't allow anyone to take what's mine!" Joey's eyes were filled with resignation and despair. "But...you don't like kids at all... You don't like me. Why can't you letstay with my mommy and daddy..." When Anya realized that Joey was not referring to her as his mommy, her irritation spiked as she slammed Joey fiercely onto the ground.

Unfortunately for him, Anya was still unsatisfied and stomped his stomach again.
"You traitor! If I hadn't adopted you from abroad, you'd still be in that miserable orphanage, barely surviving. You might've succumbed to a disease and not even be alive today! How dare you be so ungrateful and look down on me?! You'd rather accept that b*tch Corinne as your mommy than me?! I was the one who was kind-hearted enough to adopt you! Did she give birth to you, or did she adopt you? Huh?!" Joey's eyes were starting to bulge from the forceful stomping. He felt that his life had cto an end and used his last bit of strength to retort," She... She's really good to me..." That made Anya even angrier. "Good to you? Why would she be good to you? It's all an act! That b*tch is a professional in acting. She'll do anything to secure her position as Jeremy's wife. You really think she sees you as her son? She has her own kids, so why would she treat you as her son?!" Red in the eyes, Joey stubbornly defended Corinne, who was perfect in his eyes.
"She's still a good mommy... Even if she doesn't seeas her son, she at least...respects me... She's better than you. She's just better..." Joey's parting words stirred an intense rage in Anya. She gritted her teeth and viciously kicked Joey on the ground.
"Fine! If she's better than me, I'll grant you your wish! I'll show you just how cruel I can be! Since you no longer recognizeas your adoptive mother, I might as well send you straight to hell!" With each word, she mercilessly kicked the defenseless five-year-old Joey.

Frowning, Anya crouched and checked Joey's breath, only to realize he had stopped breathing.
'He's dead? Man, he's really fragile, huh? I don't remember him being this fragile. He used to be able to take неме more than this! Well, everything is ruined now that he's useless.'
