"SHEENA! GET OUT! WHAT IS THAT DRAMA?!"
"Sheila, Sheena needs to rest first,"
"I DON'T CARE! GET HER OUT!"
"But..."
"Wait, are you deaf?! Get that flirty out!"
"Sheena isn't feeling well."
"WHAT?! DO YOU WANT TO BE HURTED?!!"
As I hear the screams, And covered my ears.
Is this the feeling of death?
I shuddered as I heard a loud knock on the door.
Badump...Badump...Badump...
They have already arrived.
'Oh my God!'
I close my eyes as my entire body trembles and hug myself against the wall.
"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR, SHEENA!!"
"Come out, Sheena, mommy won't hurt you."
I do not also want...
You're bad!
"SHEENA!"
I burst into tears and covered my mouth so they couldn't hear what I was saying. They are only a few steps away from me.
Badump... Badump... Badump...
"SHEENA!"
The door swung open, and quick footsteps approached, pulling me upright.
"Don't make fun of us!" my twin yelled, clutching my arm tightly.
"P-Please... Don't..." I cried to her, but instead of feeling sorry for me, Shanna hit me hard, causing me to sit down and cry.
"Get dressed! A visitor is coming! Get ready!" She yelled threw at me before walking away.
"Sheena, get dressed okay? Someone is going to buy you, so you have to look good in front of them," mommy said softly to me as she smiled and exited my room.
Once I understood everything she said, I had to wipe away my tears.
This life is a mess!
Isn't it still enough for them to torture me?
They punish and hurt me. Then what now? They've sold me?!
What else is there? What else should I go through at their hands?!
Go! Make me to suffer even more!
Until you're satisfied, until I gave up everything.
When Shanna was fixing me, she kept smiling in front of me, as if she truly considered me a sister.
Does she not have a heart? Aren't our lives intertwined, but why is she treating me that way? Why is she so angry with me?
"We're done! Ohmyyy! Just be thankful twin, someone will buy you even if you're a dirty woman or a flirt!" She laughed insultingly at me and firmly slapped my face.
"You're so ugly! You don't belong in a Carlos! Like duh! You look like trash! You're a trash thing!" She laughed, so I bowed down and didn't say anything.
I'll be punished again if I speak.
"Just be obedient and kind, I promise I won't hurt you, and a wealthy old man paid for you!"
My world stopped when she said that.
They sold me to a wealthy old man? Is there truly no mercy for them? Are they never going to change?
I was completely taken aback and burst out laughing.
They show no mercy. They're already abusing me; what else can they do? They're monstrous.
"Shanna darling, hurry up, the guests have already arrived," mom said, and Shanna nodded, excited about what was about to happen.
"Sheena,"
I turned to look at Mother Esme and Tina, who were concerned about my well-being.
"I'm sorry I can't help you," Mother Esme admitted sadly.
I gave her a sad smile.
"Perhaps it's my destiny, Mom," I said as she shook her head and stroked my hair.
"There's still hope that you'll come out of this room in a few seconds to be picked up by the old man who will buy you," she cried and hugged me, even though Tina joined us in our embrace.
"We'll get you out of here,"
Tina's words to me surprised me.
I couldn't believe it when I looked at them in surprise.
"My child is correct, you cannot live in misery; you must be free from the hell of this life..." Mother Esme sobbed as she hugged me, leave me speechless in front of the mirror.
They could be killed if they let me out. I'm aware of what my family is capable of, and I don't want them to be involved in what's going on with me. I don't want them to hurt me the way they do.
"Don't worry, Sheena. We'll take care of how you escape later," Tina said, smiling as if to tell myself to trust them.
I'm not sure whether I'll be happy or nervous about what they want to do.
I'm glad even though I finally have hope that I'll be free in this life of mine. Or fear because they are in danger, and my parents have the ability to kill them. They have the ability to inflict pain on others.
No. I will not put their lives in danger just because of me.
"Mom, Tina. I accept my fate, so don't risk your life just for me.. Assure me that you can leave this hellish house, don't worry about me, I can still do this," I said with a smile. to them and simply patted them on the back
I looked in the mirror once more and caressed my cheek.
We're the same from every angle. Eyes, nose, and lips. We have the same characteristics.
Except for her hair, which is naturally curly and dark, mine is long and straight and not nearly as dark.
And it's because of this face that I've been hiding in my twin's shadow.
In addition, this face is the source of my pain.
My eyes welled up. The tears... Full of resentment, hatred, and bitterness.
Is there a the day once I, too, will be free? And see the real world?
Tina told me that the world is as beautiful and colorful as she said.
Where you can make many real friends, fake friends, and user friends.
Mother Esme used to tell me that the world isn't fair because people aren't equal.
Some are poor, some are wealthy, and some are unlucky.
What makes that unfair? Why can't everyone be treated equally? Why not be satisfied with what you have?
There would have been no hardships, and no crimes might have existed. There would have been no evil people who would have done anything against her.
And there would be no slaves, but what differents me from others?
I, too, am a slave who is abused, exploited, and punished.
They can play with me because I am a slave.
Is it possible for me to live normally again? Those who go through childhood and engage in street games, as well as those who go through virginity and have a 'crush' or boyfriend.
I'm not yet sure if I'll be jealous of other people because they didn't go through what I did, or if they're really lucky because their family isn't like mine.
Because what if they've seen it all? There, I can say that I am not the only one who can go through what others cannot.
"Sheena, It's time," Shanna said, smiling as she leaned against the door.
My twin is blessed in every way. My mom and dad and many of her friends adored her. And anything else she can get his hands on.
Not at all like me, Her twin's life is a living hell.
"I'll follow you," I said hesitantly, forcing a smile.
She simply rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Are you certain about what you're going to do, Sheena?" Mother Esme questioned.
I held her hand and said, 'I'm fine,' even though I wasn't.
I'm concerned about what might happen to me tonight.
But I have to face everything.
Faced with the darkness. This might be my last chance.
APHRODITELet's just say that my entire family and I were waiting for information from my Brother Giovanni's P.I concerning Shanna's twin a few weeks ago.It becomes more difficult as time passes. Especially since their wedding is coming.My gosh!That will not be my sister-in-law. She irritates me! I despise her!"Brother?! Is there still no news?! I can't wait!" I yelled angrily at him.Annoying! Why is his P, I so slow?!"Woah! Chill... Why can't you wait any longer than Gaze?" Kuya Leon questioned, his eyebrow raised. My annoying brother, tsk.Our Eldest Brother Timothy is away with his wife in some other country. So it was just the three of us plus our parents.Let's just say I'm the youngest in our family.My name is Aphrodite Luisa Ezrael, and I have three brothers:
SHEENAWhen I exited the room, I took several deep breaths, even though my knees were trembling."You can do it, Sheena!" I told myself.Before I arrived, I heard a few laughs from people who appeared to be having a good time.I took a slight peek and my eyes widened to see what they were up to. They're having a drink with their other business partners.Some are older, while others are in their mid-20s, and there is also a lot of smoke in the living room.Ohmygod!What's going on? Why are there so many people?"Sheena,"Tina caught my attention."There's something you don't know about your family," Tina said solemnly as she looked around the room."They are part of a group,"I let out a long breath once I hear that.Is this true?! They will not take part in such activity--I was stunned and scratched my head because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
We noticed something at the exit almost at the same time Brother Vanni and I were taken aback as we were leaving this place.They're fucked!There's a checkpoint here!I'm pretty sure it was done by Carlos!I despise them!When my older brother abruptly pulled the car to the side of the road, I looked at him."Why did you stop, Brother?! You should just go straight and hit them if necessary!" I yelled angrily.Ezrael is our name!We can do it all!And they won't be able to stop us!Because they will hit a huge big obstacle!"Fuck them!" Brother yelled angrily as he looked at Sheena, who was sitting on my lap, and his face softened as he sighed before taking a serious stance in front of the road.I unexpectedly smirked at what he was about to do.Brother, go!Put them through it!Brother Vanni took a deep breath before quickly pulling over, and Sheena
Our family doctor arrived just a few minutes later."Tito," Rayzon greeted my father, who was with his father.He, too, is a doctor."It's late, why did you call? Do I need to see Vannessa again?" Tito Raymond asked calmly."No.."We turned to look at my older brother."No, Raymond. She isn't. We'd like to show you someone else," dad said calmly."I'm also sorry for the delay caused by numerous police officers blocking the road," Tito Raymond said, shaking his head.We all looked at each other, and it appears that Sheena is wanted.When we heard a crash..Shit!It was coming from Brother Vanni's room, so we hurried in, and Brother Vanni threw open the door and...Holyshit!My eyes widened as I cupped my finger.Sheena is trying to inflict harm on herself."You're useless, Sheena! You're filthy! You're a filthy woman! No one will accept you! No one! N
THIRD PERSONAs expected, the mother and daughter who cared for Sheena from then were imprisoned in a dark room after being accused of Sheena's escape."We don't know Madam!" Esme exclaimed.Her clothes were ripped, and she was weak from being imprisoned for several days since Sheena ran away. They kept their plan hidden because Sheena has the right to be free of her parents' influence."Where is Sheena?" Mr. Carlos asked.The old lady sobbed as she shook her head."I don't know!"Tina screamed, "Mom!" She couldn't help but cry and struggle with the rope.Her mother's frail body was visible to her."Liar! I know you guys have a reason she escaped!" he yelled, hitting her once again."Darling, they'll never talk, so let's put her child first," Sheila said, laughing."Don't.. don't..!" pleaded Esme.They just laughed and turned to Tina, who was struggling and crying."Y
LEONARDO "What the heck?! Leonardo! I don't want to go there!" exclaimed Aphrodite.I just shook my head at her.She's still a brat."Aphrodite, we need to make a plan; we need to save the mother and daughter so they can help us get Sheena back to herself," I told her calmly.Yes... That girl...She went back to her childhood. We hardly spoke to her, and she always had a tail on Mother Dalia.And my good and handsome brother is very concerned about the woman they saved.He appears to be in love for the first time!"Hmph! I don't want to go back to the Carlos! I don't!"Aphrodite is displeased."Stop it, little brat! You will not wander around! We're going to save someone heller!" I even rolled my eyes at her, as she always did."Whatever, brother! Just drive!" Irritated, he complained I was staring at him.Hay! Do I have siblings like this?! Tsk.Timothy for
TINAI bowed and sat outside the funeral home where we took Mom.I closed my eyes and burst into tears as I remembered everything that had happened to Mom and me.Her sobs and tears were filled with grief.Oh my God.Why is this still happening to us?What is our mistake that they treat us this way?To Sheena, Mom, and I.I'm at a loss for what to do now, especially since my mother is no longer alive and Sheena is still missing; I'm not even sure how Sheena will react when she learns that our mother is no longer alive.She would be the most affected of the two of us because I knew my mother had been with her entire life, teaching her the things she needed to know.So I had to find Sheena right away because I promised Mom we'd get out of here.And we will live in peace and happiness.I wiped my face and bit my finger hard while pondering what I should do first, but I was brough
TINA We arrived safely at the Ezraels' mansion. We buried my mother earlier, and we haven't heard anything about Carlos, but they will be aware that my mother and I are no longer in that dark room. I'm not sure how I'll handle the new morning without my mother. Mom, who was always teasing me Mom, you will be missed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before entering the Ezraels' mansion. At the same time, my life changed. "Tina, sit down first. I know you're tired, but you have to tell us everything first, "Mrs. Ezrael said with a smile. I just smiled and sat quietly on their expensive couch. "I think mom, let's feed her first," said their youngest daughter, smiling at me. "Mother dahlia!" exclaimed Madam to the maid of their mansion. An elderly woman appeared from their kitchen. "God! What is this again? Why is that girl like that? " Mother Dahlia e
