APHRODITE

Let'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:

Timothy II Ezrael, Leonardo III Ezrael, and Giovanni Axel Zeus Ezrael.

In addition, our parents, Vanessa Hera Ezrael and Gion Timothy Leonardo Ezrael

They are the center of my existence. Yes, there is no issue with our family, except that we are known inside the corporate world like a monster.

Because my brothers and father have no heart when it comes to business, they are brutal businessmen in the eyes of many people.

Our Eldest Brother Timothy, who partnered with the Delafuertes, would bring some company down.

Tsk, that's how bad he is. Rocco Delafuerte, his closest buddy, is also a Tycoon businessman, but he is also ruthless.

But wait, there's more...

Tsk, my second brother's name is Leonardo.

He's a jerk, but don't worry, he's already destroyed a lot of businesses. He's a joyful but dangerous man.

Last but not least.

Among the two jerks, my favorite brother, hehehe.

Giovanni Axel Zeus Ezrael

Gaze for short, but I prefer 'Vanni'.

The most monstrous of my two older brothers. At the young age of 26? Come'on!

He is even wealthier than our father! Hehehe. Dad once questioned as to where he was lacking and why Brother Vanni appeared to be wealthier than him.

Yes, my older brother has his own business, but he has many companies all over the world. Sometimes I'll just ask for a business to run. As if he's going to give me, tsk.

Many people want to work with him in business. Villaluna and Delafuerte have already showed up, but they are fortunate that my older brother negotiated with them because, aside from knowing those household, we know each others.

They are also very good at business.

Brother Vanni is the most scary of my siblings. He's a heartless and merciless man! So don't mess with him, Because you'll be miserable if it happens. And I'll reveal his little secret, Hohoho! He's a--

"Hey!"

"What?!" I hit Kuya Leon hard, but he just laughed and walked away hmp!

"Where on earth did your mind go again? Damn you stupid brat!" he laughed, as well as I frowned and stared at him.

"Whatever, Brother! Fuck your slut fiance rather than making fun of me!" I yelled, but he just stared at me.

"Close your filthy mouth, little brat!"

I simply smiled at him.

"Why, my dear big brother? Truth hurts? You just choose who to marry, not a slut like her!" I yelled at him, staring him down.

Gely Yu, his fiancee, is a slutty woman slash golddigger, much like her bestfriend Shanna Carlos.

"Are you two fighting again?" dad asked from the kitchen, so I ran behind him to avoid getting hit by Leonardo.

"Dad!" I yelled, and he scolded Leon.

I simply smirked and rolled my eyes at him.

"Axel, has your P.I called yet?" Mom asked of older brother Vanni, who was dead serious.

Oh my goodness.

I'm afraid of him.

"No--"

When the doorbell rang, he interrupted, and we all looked at each other.

Who is he? It's late in the evening.

"Harry...,"

Whaaaaat?! He's my brother Vanni's private investigator?

Ohmyyyy!

I swallowed and averted my gaze as I took in the entirety of Harry's face.

Shit! He's still quite attractive! Heck!

Aphrodite, you're insane!

"What did you discover?" Brother Vanni questioned solemnly.

He sat on the sofa, a folder on the table.

"Ms.Shanna Carlos does have twins, according to my spy."

They remained silent. While mom and dad were taken aback by the news.

Me? I'm not surprised at all! Because I am aware of the truth. They simply do not believe me.

When Harry opened the folder, he found information about Shanna's twin.

"Sheena Carlos is 23 years old, but her parents are hiding her; as according her roommate in their mansion, she has not left the house when she was a child."

Ohmygad! Is she a detainee?!

"Her family made him a prisoner," Harry said, pointing out Sheena's resemblance to Shanna.

I had a feeling! That woman has twins!

"And that's not all..." He moved to the second page, where my eyes widened, or should I assume we all widened our eyes except for Brother Vanni, who was just looking at a picture seriously.

Fvck.

What exactly is this?! Why are there so many bruises and wounds? The bruises on her face and throughout her body were visible!

"Ohmygod! What happened to her?" Mom exclaimed in disbelief as she began to cry.

"She was abused by her parents and her twin, who photographed and videotaped what her companions were doing to her so that when they had the courage to report Carlos to the police, they would have this evidence."

You simply must!

This is not something that a parent would do to their child.

"Then they should be! This is wrong!" cries Mom.

I'm feeling, She felt sorry for this young lady.

"According to their story, her family has not treated her properly since she was a child, and what happened to her is punishment."

Punishment?

What the heck?! This is unbelievable!

"Punishment? Punishment for what?!" Brother Leon yelled angrily.

My family's tension is also obvious to me.

I'm the same way! I'm angry!

"For Rules? Yes, the rule is just for Sheena," Harry sighed and shook his head.

"Rule #1: It is strictly forbidden to leave the mansion (anyone except three, Mr.Carlos, Mrs. Carlos, and Ms.Shanna Carlos)

Rule #2: Do not speak or respond in any way.

Rule #3: Do not show up when there is an event or when guests are expected.

Rule #4: No wandering around the mansion.

Rule #5: It is illegal to tamper with property that you do not own.

And if you do not follow that, you will be punished," Harry took out his laptop, inserted a USB, and handed it to us.

"This is the punishment that must be accepted..."

We're very curious about the video we'll be able to watch.

The video has already started, but we haven't seen anyone yet, but we have noticed a chain and various things that can do to hurt you.

'Sheena, hurry up! '

Shanna's tone of voice! Grrr. This bitch.

'Yes,' she says.

As I saw Sheena had obvious fear and pain in her face, Immediately covered my mouth.

She seems to have the look of an angel.

The next thing we saw was him chaining Sheena.

Fvck! I can't stand it any longer!

'You did it again! Hahaha! '

Shanna, you're a douche! I despise you!

As she was chained, I could see Sheena's sadness, but she couldn't do anything else.

'You know what, twin, having a boyfriend is fun!' Yes, twin, my boyfriend is the wealthiest man on the world! Isn't that my luck? In comparison to you? That will never be felt to be loved! Because you're a piece of garbage! Hahaha! '

We were all taken aback by what we saw. Sheena let out a loud scream.

'Scream twin! Scream twin! Scream! '

Fvck. She's completely insane!

"Ohno! I can't take it any longer! We have to do something to save that girl! Gion!" Mom broke down in tears.

I can't blame her, Her auntie also abuses her.

I've returned to the video. I just rubbed my forehead and sobbed as I watched her pain.

'Would you like more twin? Wait a minute... Hahaha'

Shanna put down her work and went to get the men's haircut. I have no idea what to call it. Isn't that something I've seen before?

I'm not sure.

And my eyes widened the next moment she balded Sheena!

Ohgosh!

'Please don't... Don't touch my hair! 'Please,' she begged.

Shit!

"That's the bald Sheena from three years ago, and her hair has become long again," Harry explained.

Brother Vanni and I ignored him because we were preoccupied with the video.

'There it is! You're such an ugly duckling, bitch! Hahaha! '

'Shanna'

It's her father!

'Hello, Dad! Do you want her to get a new haircut? '

'No. 'She's an ugly b*tch.'

He's a jerk!

Mr.Carlos approached Sheena while holding something.

'Wait a minute...' 'Dear...'

Her mother!

Fvck! Why are they torturing her?

She is her parents' daughter, and she is Shanna's twin!

Mrs.Carlos was smoked as she walked next to Sheena.

'Do it, darling, I can hardly wait.' 'I have friends waiting for me.'

Psh! They don't belong inside the world we live in.

I also hugged kuya Leon because all I could hear was Sheena crying.

Damn it.

"Fvck!" exclaimed Brother Vanni as he threw our vases.

I looked at Brother Vanni, who had his fists clenched and punched the table. Oh, my goodness! He's angry, extremely angered.

Harry paused the video because he couldn't take it any longer. I sighed and leaned back on the sofa.

How did she put up with it all? She didn't even consider attempting to escape.

"If she runs away, Carlos will kill her, and the mother and daughter who cared for her will suffer."

Shit! Is there no other way?

"Harry, Save the evidence... We're leaving," Kuya Vanni said flatly, pulling me out of the mansion.

We were just being quiet while driving.

I have no idea where we're going.

"We're going to save her! Damn! She looks like an angel! Fvck!"

I smiled quietly. We're going to save her! Sheena, please wait for us. We're on our way.

    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?!

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!"

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

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 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!

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 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

"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?

    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

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.
