Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 23
SHEENA(A/N: It was Sheena's dream, and it revealed everything that had happened to her.)-"Mommy and Daddy!"Who exactly are they? Who are these people?I was taken aback when I noticed they were staring at me."How lovely my princess is," said a man my father's age.My brow furrowed as I noticed him caressing my cheek.What's he doing with my cheek?Why did he call me a princess?Who are these people?I was taken aback when I saw myself in the mirror.In the mirror, I appear to be a different person in this situation.My body shrank as if I were a five-year-old child.Who exactly is this child? Why am I trapped in her body?This is not my look. Why would someone be different? Why don't I resemble Shanna?"Baby, didn't you like the dress I bought you?" a woman whose face I couldn't see because their faces were blurry and unclear."No, mommy, I love it!"Surprisingly, I spoke and smiled as well.Who exactly is she?What is the identity of the child reflected in the mirror?What am I

SHEENA"What's your plan? The engagement party is coming; are you ready to show up to your family?" Tina asked.I just sighed.I have no idea.Is it time for me to show up?Are my plans ready?I honestly don't know where to begin."It's okay if you're not ready yet, Sheena; there will be a right time for the Carlos family to pay," Tina said softly as she patted my shoulder.Is it right for me to seek revenge on my own family?Will I be free when I exact my revenge?Will I ever be able to forget everything?Will I ever be able to forget my past?"Will anything change if I get my revenge? Will they accept me as a child? " I asked.She looked at me."Sheena, not all stories are true; don't you wonder if they're really your family? Don't you wonder why they've treated you like that since? "What exactly does she mean?Is she questioning my own family?"I'm not asking you this to raise their suspicions; no parent wants to hurt their child."I suddenly stopped."Didn't you consider that? Ma

SHEENA(A/n: This is the chapter in which Sheena is shown her lost memories from the past.)-"Mommy, isn't daddy here yet?" the child asked while her mother was cooking.Is she the Imperials' long-lost child?Why am I back in this dream?What am I doing here?"Let's just wait for Daddy, okay? "He has a present for you," a smiling woman said to the smiling girl.I simply covered my mouth because I couldn't figure out why I was crying.I'm not sure why I'm crying in this situation."Eleanor, happy birthday!"The girl smiled because her mother was the first to wish her a happy birthday.I clutched my chest, as if it were tightening.Why am I in pain?What made me feel sad when I saw them?Because I was puzzled by what was going on, I suddenly grabbed my head, pushed back, and pulled my hair.When I opened my eyes again, I went to another situation.I was shocked to see the girl outside the door of their house, who seemed to be waiting for something."Why isn't Daddy here yet?" I'm alrea

SHANNA"Girl! "I'm so excited about your engagement party!" my friend exclaimed.I simply smirked.Yes! I'm excited!Giovanni and his wealth are mine! Gosh!Nothing has happened to us in our time! He appears to be avoiding me! Hmp!But, Shanna, you're also about to get married, so be patient. Nothing else will put an end to the marriage.We no longer have any problems.Because the people are our problem, they have left. Hahaha!Why did Mom adopt Sheena?And she even made a face like mine? Tch. But No,We're not twins!I don't have twin ugliness! Ew,My parents were determined to get vengeance on the Imperials. Tsk.They are a hindrance to our lives. So they did everything they could to make the Imperials suffer. But Harry was our real issue.We were worried that he already knew what we were up to.Our entire plan will be destroyed.As a result, he should be executed.But none of our employees could ever harm him.It's extremely irritating!

SHEENA"Are you ready?" Vanni asked, taking my hand in his.I took a deep breath before tightly gripping his hand.Before we entered the cemetery, I sighed a few times.After driving Shanna insane with what she saw, I decided to pay Daniella a visit to thank her for saving my life."Are you okay?" If you're not feeling well, you can do it next time—" I shook my head at him before he finished speaking."I'm fine, and I also want to see her grave, so she shouldn't be involved in this," I said weakly as we approached my old friend's grave.I had no idea when we arrived at her grave, but seeing her grave made me feel pain.Daniella FalconBorn: December 24 1996Death: April 2003I sat up weakly, trying to hold her grave."Before you woke up, your parents considered moving in her name to her grave next to her parents' grave," Vanni explained, so I turned to a large grave next to Daniella's."This is also the only way for your parents to make up for Daniella's sacrifice for your and Mr. Mon

SHANNATonight is my night.I will be introduced to the entire world as the wife of one of the wealthiest men.I simply cannot wait.I'm really looking forward to meeting my future husband."Are you ready?" My mom asked from behind me, and I smiled back."Yes, mom, nothing can separate Gaze and me; I will be his only queen," I said with a smile. Mom touched my face and turned to face me in the large mirror that had been placed in my room."You will inherit all of Ezrael's wealth, and you will become an Ezrael, so do everything you can to claim it, and we will be the richest people in the world,"She caressed my face, so I just nodded. "There are no more problems in our lives; they will never know everything, so it will be buried,"I smiled at her and stroked my own face.Sheena, as well as the mother and daughter, have left.The problems in our lives have vanished.So, Gaze will always be mine, and nothing will be able to stop it.Everything we did will be buried."Shanna, darling,"

SHEENA"Aren't you dead?" Why are you still alive? ""Gaze is entirely mine!""Sheena, I'm going to kill you!" You must have died a long time ago! ""Sheena!""N-No..""You're going to die!""N-No..""You thought you could forget the past?" "No, Sheena! You can still carry your past! ""I'm not going to let you be happy!""NO!"As I caught my breath, I woke up.N-No!I'm fine. I am no longer tied.I am no longer a slave to them.H-how...?My eyes widened as I stared at my trembling hands.W-Why? Why does it appear to be happening again?"Sheena?"Why do I keep feeling like I'm choking?Why does it appear that a rope is dangling from my neck?"Sheena!"I grabbed my head because it hurt and my vision was blurry.I could see almost nothing but darkness around me.When I saw what I was wearing, a white dress, my eyes widened and I fell to the floor."W-what is going on?" I murmured to myself, unsure whether it was a dream or reality.When the light turned on, I closed my eyes and was surp

"You two are now married."It's nice to know you're legally married to the person you rely on, the person who saved you from death, the person who is your savior.It's nice to know you're breathing easily. The ones who are free of pain, bitterness, or grief are the ones I learn to love.Throughout my painful life, I have only recently learned how to live in a colorful world that I had never known before.Mama Esme was right in saying that I could still see light and hope. I will not be confined in darkness for the rest of my life so that I can see more of who I truly am.I'll never forget your lecture for me, Mom.I know you are always by my side, keeping an eye on me. I'll never forget how much you cared for me as if I were your biological child.I'll never forget how you gave up your life so that I could live a long life.I'm sorry if I almost gave up. I'm sorry if I nearly killed myself. I'm sorry for not being there when you put your life in danger just for me. I'm sure you're happ

"Sheena,"I turned to Vanni, still clutching the business card I found in my dress pocket, thankfully undamaged.This is the card given to me by the woman sitting next to me at the funeral."What is it?" he asked."Ah."I smirked at him as I showed him my card."Come with me, we're going to an art exhibit!" I said, smiling, and pulling him into his clothes."What? We'll stay here; I can't hold myself back any longer, wife!"My eyes widened at him, and I hit him."Don't be naughty! I want to go to the Borromeo art museum!" I exclaimed.He frowned, as if he was remembering something."Is that Celeste Borromeo?"I nodded and looked at the card."Do you know her?" I asked, and he nodded."I've seen her at previous events; she's well-known because her family is well-known in business," he shrugged as he stood up to dress.I also put on a dress because I knew her museum would be open at 3 p.m. We may be late because he is slow."Giovanni! Come on! We'll go on a date after this!" I yelled at
Life in the Darkness EPILOGUE
Life in the Darkness...My life remained in complete darkness.Alone and without anyone to lean on.I wanted to give up but kept going.rising to face the struggle.I fought until the bitter end, until I attained the true freedom and justice that we all deserve.Justice in an abusive world. I almost took my own life because I believed that if I lived, I would have to live with the nightmare of the past.For the past 21 years, I have put up with everything for 21 years. The abuse and pain they inflicted on me For the past 21 years, I've been asking myself, "Why me?" "Why am I still the one experiencing abuse?" "Did I do something wrong?" But I've never found an answer because I've simply trained myself to do whatever they all wanted me to do.Is there still a choice for me? It is still forbidden if it is the last step out of the house. I didn't even notice the sun shining on me or how beautiful and bright the moon was. I wasn't even able to interact with other kids, go to school, or ha

I opened my eyes and gasped, but I was stunned because it was dark, and I noticed that I was shaking in a car trunk.I tried to loosen the rope around my wrist, but it was too tight. When I try to remove the rope, it hurts even more.What will Shanna do with me? Oh, no. I can feel the smoke as well. Fuck.I turned around, but I couldn't move much because my legs were also tied. The blood on my thigh and leg had also dried up, but I could still feel numbness throughout my body.I just closed my eyes, dripping sweat and biting my lower lip. I attempted to loosen my tie again, but it appears that the used tie is unusual.When I felt the car stop, I also stopped moving. I remained silent for a moment, starting to feel Shanna's every move leading to where I am now."Hmm, perfect location!" I overheard Shanna say.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to keep her from noticing I was awake. When she opened the trunk, I had to brace myself.The full moon caught my attention when the trunk w

"Shanna."She just chuckled at me and looked at the graves of Mother Esme and Father Ronaldo."Sad. "Do you think it was because of you that they died?" she asked, smirking.I was taken aback and backed away. I will not be caught off guard by what she says. She's just doing this to bring out my guilt because she might be right that they died because of me."Why haven't you surrendered to the police?" I asked her seriously, as she was stunned."Why should I give up while you're still alive?" I'll give up only when you're gone."I backed away from her until I was leaning against their grave."Stop it, Shanna," I said as I walked away from her."It's your fault that my parents were killed, and it's your fault that our lives have become miserable," she said. She also started shooting at the museum."Don't blame me for everything, Shanna. You're the one who made your life miserable; I've been your slave for 18 years; isn't that enough? " I asked her as I continued to walk away from her, bu

We've all been preparing for Father Ronaldo's ceremony. I know he's with his mother, Esme, and Daniella wherever he is.He was not to blame for what happened to us; he was simply a victim of Carlos' cruelty.I just sighed, put on my sunglasses, and got out of the car.Tina, who was staring at her father's picture, looked stunned. I just averted my gaze because I couldn't bear to see her like this. Because of me, she lost both of her parents. Nobody else is to blame but me.I lost someone important to me as a result of my decisions."We've arrived,"I blinked at Gaze, who was unbuckling my seatbelt. I simply smiled and gazed out the window. I was surprised to see so many media outlets and people still calling for justice for us.Gaze helped me get out of the car, and we were greeted by the media right away, but our staff stopped them, and I just smiled at them before we went straight to where Dad would be buried, right next to Mother Esme."Sheena,"When I saw Fey with her mother, I wa

"Let us put an end to her pain."They remained silent as Gaze said something to them. They see him and realize they don't like what's going on. Especially considering what happened to his wife."This is entirely my fault. I-I'm sorry."When Gion did speak, his son simply stared at him."H-huh? H-hon? What are you talking about?" Vanessa asked her restless husband."I-I'm sorry—""What exactly did you do?"Gion was taken aback and looked at his son, who was staring at him blankly. He bowed and swallowed."Your tone, A-Axel."Gaze paid no attention to Vanessa, who was puzzled about her husband and son.They can sense the conflict between the father and son.Leon coughed to make their uncomfortable situation less awkward."Right now, let's think about catching Shanna. She's the only ones left that we can press on their cases. "Maybe we can preserve Dad Ronaldo's corpse and postpone his funeral while Sheena is still sleeping," Leon said, supporting his wife."We'll go first because my wif

SHANNANo.They are not dead.They're not going to kill themselves like that. They are familiar to me because they are my parents.When I heard what happened on the radio, I went straight to the morgue to see if I had heard correctly.I've hidden my face, and I'm not going to let them catch me.I tried to get into the morgue without alerting the media or the police. When I saw Mom and Dad were dead, I felt stabbed with pain, knowing they were truly gone.I can't believe they died so suddenly.I punched the mirror and examined the shattered mirror. I'm not going to let Sheena live. I'm going to kill her. It is entirely her fault that this is happening to me.If she had just killed herself before, none of this would have happened.She must die. I'll send her and her family back to hell. I'm not going to stop until I've killed her.I wiped away my tears as I prepared to leave my hiding place. They'll know where I'm hiding now. I'm not going to be caught alive.I packed my belongings and

What exactly is this? What is Carlos's trick?No, it is not true.They can't just die because I haven't gotten justice and Shanna hasn't been captured.The Chief accompanied me to the morgue, where the Carlos were brought after the police said they found them lifeless hanging from the ceiling. I'm not going to believe it until I see them.Many members of the media and the general public were waiting to hear about Carlos' death when we arrived."Mrs. Ezrael,"I took a deep breath and simply nodded to the Chief as he got out of the car and opened the door for me.I went down and was greeted by the media, but they were blocked as we went inside.We went straight to where Carlos had been taken. I was taken aback when I noticed someone lying on the stainless steel bed."Mrs. Ezrael?"I was just shocked by where the one with the blanket was. I couldn't move my feet to go inside because I couldn't accept their deaths. I can't believe they died without even feeling pain."Would you like me to

SHEENAI woke up to see myself in the room. I was about to make a move when I noticed someone was holding my hand.I peered to see who it was and noticed Tina had dozed off while watching over me."Oh my gosh, Sheena! You're awake!"I just smiled at her as she hugged me.I said quietly, "Thank you," and she moved away from me, smiling."Are you okay?"I simply nodded at her, but my smile faded as I remembered Father Ronaldo."S-sorry... It's all my fault," I apologized.I'm still blaming myself for what happened to Ronaldo's father. These things would not have happened if I hadn't been so desperate to catch the Carlos.Tina's parents died as a result of my actions. I was too careless in my actions, and I didn't consider the people around me."Sheena, I know you still blame yourself for what happened to my parents, but it's not your fault; Dad did the right thing, but some people just won't stop doing bad things.."Tina sobbed and covered her face."I-it hurts to accept... It's difficu
