CHAPTER 2

Sheena, are you ready?

To the punishment that will be imposed on you?

I laughed quietly. What else could I possibly expect from them?

Will they sympathize with me? No way! They have no sympathy. While I'm in pain, they're even happier.

Others may have thought they were a happy family. Let's say YES because they are a full family even without me!

I once wondered, "Why was this my fate?" Is it possible that I made a mistake in my past life? Is it possible that I made a mistake in making them feel as if they didn't consider me a child? Is it possible that I'm a troubled child?

I love them because they are my family, but do they still consider me a member of the family?

I can't help feeling sad because some people have happy families, even if they're not wealthy or simply poor.

Unlike me, I have family, but they treat me like a trash.

"OPEN THE DOOR, SHEENA!"

Before opening the door, I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

Shanna slapped me hard and gripped my jaw, allowing her to see my face.

"How did Aphrodite know I had twins?" She snarled.

I simply shook my head, but then she let go of my jaw and slapped me twice more? No, maybe five times.

My cheeks are numb, but I'm still mute.

Rule #2 prohibits responding to them.

When they hurt me, I accept all of the pain that comes with it.

"Perhaps she saw your face?"

I shook once again, but she kicked me in the stomach so hard that I writhed in pain.

"Just make sure, my lovely twin, we won't consider you as family! And as long as you're alive, you're hidden in my shadow," she said, laughing and blowing smoke in front of my face.

"Shanna.."

She stopped, and my eyes widened as she burned himself, so I did nothing to intervene. It appears that I am already aware..

"D-Dad, she's hurting me... Look."

She sobbed as Shanna showed to our father the burn. I just bit my lower lip and closed my eyes.

Sheena, you're an idiot!

Speak your mind!

"Fvck! Sheena!" Dad yelled, and I knew exactly what he meant.

To be taken to a room where I will be punished. As they followed me, I just bowed and went into a room.

When we arrived, I seemed to want to escape until they couldn't find me.

"You haven't learned your lesson, have you? You're a murderer! You know I don't want my daughter to be hurt!" Dad yelled angrily as he hit me.

I can't help but cry and try to stop the pain because I'm in even more pain right now. I wish I had gone just to make sure they were still happy.

I can't do it any longer, and I'm ready to give up.

"They've arrived, darling."

Dad stopped, and I only heard a few footsteps approaching my seat.

"She's our maid; do whatever you want using her; I'll pay double," mom said to those with them.

"Is this what you're going to ask us to do, M-Madam?"

"Yes."

"But, M-Madam..."

"Do it or I'll kill you."

What I heard made my eyes widen.

Why are there three men here?! What does this mean?!

I had the impression that they had stripped me naked.

Damn it.

Even though I fainted, I pulled over to the side. What will they do to me?

"Go! Do it! I'll watch!" I can feel my twin's excitement.

The men approached me, but one of them was still hesitant.

"W-What are you going to do? Don't p-please..." I begged them while crying, but they didn't listen.

(Cut..)

I was stunned and collapsed on the floor, sobbing with bitterness, pain, and anger.

Why did they do that to me? How can they stand by and watch their daughter beg in front of men?! Is this how they truly despise me?!

They dumped me here on ground the same as trash. My mind was blank, and all I could hear were their moans.

I covered my ears with my hands as I sobbed.

I'm filthy.

I already despise myself.

They are damned to hell!

"Poor you, Twin. You're a dirty woman, no one will acknowledge you, as such shut your fvcking mouth."

Shanna spit at me as she walked away.

I just sobbed and hugged myself. I couldn't take it any longer; my entire being had been ruined. No one will accept someone as disgusting as me. They'll despise me.

"Oh my gosh, Sheena!"

I just felt Mother Esme's hug. I burst into tears even more. I felt the love of a mother with her.

"I-I c-can't do it any longer..."

-

The Ezraels simply returned to their mansion, unnoticed.

Because their youngest couldn't understand what they were saying.

'To whom is Aphrodite referring?' That all that is going through Giovanni's head.

Earlier, he seemed to have a different point of view of his fiance's family, particularly after having caught them looking intently at one of their maids who was wearing a face mask and a hat. He had a different feeling earlier when he stared at that woman.

"You were wrong earlier, Aphrodite! You're looking for nothing!" their father yelled angrily.

"No, Dad! I can't be wrong! There's something wrong with that family!" an irritated exclaimed Aphrodite.

According to Aphrodite, the aura of that mansion was different.

She also does not want Shanna to be her sister-in-law. That bitch.

"They don't have any other child, dear; it's just Shanna and your older brother will marry her," Gion explained calmly.

"No! They're lying! When I was young, when Shanna had her birthday, I want to go around their house because it was too creepy! And then I saw her twin! Because she looks like her but has a different face, Yes! They look alike but you can't see that person happy! I wanted her to be my friend before but I haven't seen her yet!" Aphrodite exclaimed angrily to her family.

She didn't care if what she had done was either disrespectful because she was irritated, she knew it was wrong with Carlos' actions.

"Are you sure?" Giovanni confirmed him, and she nodded immediately.

So Giovanni quickly dialed a P.I.

"Come back here tomorrow, and I'll have you do something."

He has been curious if Shanna's twin was wearing a face mask.

He wanted to be certain.

-

For several days, I was confined to Mother Esme's room.

After that night, I had nightmares for a few days.

Where they dumped me like garbage. No matter how many times I clean my body, a dirty person like me will never be clean again.

Is it possible for me to completely disappear?

They may even be satisfied. They might even be relieved that I was slowly dying.

They're my family, right? But why would they treat me like this? Do I deserve this pain?

This is excessive. Too much pain.

"Sheena, eat that; you haven't eaten in a few days; don't do this to yourself," she says.

I've been acting like an idiot for a few days now, and I can't speak properly because I'm afraid they're all going to hurt me.

I'm worried what happened that night will happen again.

I don't want anyone touching or sticking to me.

Is it possible that I'm insane? I'd rather go insane than rot in this hellhole.

"I feel bad for Sheena; can't we just get her out of here? They're torturing her too much!"

"Tina, don't you want us to be ruined? And she'll be even more destroyed if we leave her and Sheena has nowhere to go."

"However, mom..."

"Tina, just come here first and feed Sheena, okay?"

I bowed and hugged myself. I don't want to hurt them, but I can't speak to people right now.

I also do not want them to be involved in what is going on in this family. I don't want them to be harmed. 

They left me in this dark room once they realized I needed to be alone. This is my existence! I live in a dark world known as hell.

It brought back memories of just how my life had been hell for them, how they had hurt me repeatedly, how they had beaten me.

I want to vanish to put an end to it all. I want to lost so I won't have to go through all of this. 

I stopped, when I saw scissor and grabbed it, I brought it up to my wrist and slowly injured it until the red liquid oozed out.

I smiled as I exhaled a sigh of relief. My life is finally drawing to a close.

"SHEENA, OH MY GOD! STOP!"

I was stunned when I noticed Tina had caught the scissors I must've been holding, I sat down panting.

"What are you, Sheena? Do you want to die?"

When I saw her angry eyes, I hugged myself because I knew I'd be punished again.

"I'm sorry! Please don't punish me!" I cried as I hugged myself.

"Oh my gosh! Sheena!" I just felt her hug me, and all I could do was cry.

Why am I still going through this? If only I could completely disappear, my pain would be over.

APHRODITE

"Omg, Babe! Is this real?"

Tsk, I just rolled my eyes at her.

What makes my older brother want to marry her?! Tsk, obviously her family seems like money.

"Hello, sister-in-law," she said sweetly, but I just glared at her though simply smiled.

"Yuck, I'll never accept you as my sister-in-law," I said, smiling. Brother Vanni scolded me right away.

"B-Babe... She doesn't like me," Shanna cried, telling my older brother Vanni that she was clearly acting, tsk.

"You know bitch, don't make fun of me, okay? We're not in the T.V dramas! Besides, I already know that job," I said to her, looking at her.

"Do you know what I don't like at all?" I asked, smiling as I noticed her turn pale.

"The one who seems like money and a liar," I said, smirking, as she turned even paler.

"Aphrodite,"

I simply rolled my eyes at my brother.

"Whatever," I sighed as I made my way to my room.

I have a feeling the family is keeping something from us!

They will, alas, taste the Ezrael deluge! I can't wait for Shanna and her family to leave our lives.
