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
"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
"Daddy! I really like this dress!""It's great that you enjoy it."Shanna smirked at me, so I turned away and went about my job.What else am I doing here?Because of my family?Ha-Ha-Ha!Sheena, you are very funny.Your parents don't love you, not even your twin. No one knows who you are. I was just shaking my head with my thoughts. Sincerely... I can't help but feel hurt.Who would be happy if your parents didn't love you? They can't even look at me.I've never even gone out with friends. I also lacked the necessary study skills. If it hadn't been for Mother Esme, I might not have learned to speak, write, or read.I feel like I'm in hell.I'm not permitted to leave the house. Because if I go out, they will punish me. I was not fed, for a we
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
"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!"
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
"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 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
