Prologue

She just arrived from school when she heard a gunshot as she entered the door. She is scared to get inside the house, but what if something happens to her family? She runs upstairs but there's no one up there. She came down and saw her mother on the floor."Mommy!" She cried her heart out when she saw her lifeless mother lying on the kitchen floor. Swimming in her blood. There was her dad standing and with the young man holding a gun."You killed my mom! You killed my mom!" She stood up and hit him anywhere her fist landed. The man stared at her and spoke."I never kill your mom." He said."I don't even have a gun." He continued staring at her."And what's that in your hand? Isn't that a gun?" She pointed the gun in the man's hand. "Your dad gave it to me. I just came in. And he gave it to me. Believe me." The man replied firmly. "Liar! I saw you shot my wife. You're a killer." Her dad shouted and punched the man in his face."You killed your wife. He killed your mom, believe me."...

Shut Down
She is very tired and exhausted. Seems that all her energy was drained. Not from the traveling but from controlling herself from anger. The moment she entered the room, she closed the door and let go of the cry that she was holding downstairs, in front of Mr. Heartless. She covered her mouth with the pillow she saw on the bed so he could not hear her sob. She doesn't know how long she's been crying. But when she finally calmed down, she opened her suitcase and took a set of clean clothes, her undergarments, and her toiletries. She put down her clothes on the bed and went into the bathroom. She needs to clean herself up. Aside from the dust, though the aircon was on when they entered, that seemed to be country roads; he turned off the aircon and opened the windows.

Her reflection in the mirror shocks her
