"What the heck?! Leonardo! I don't want to go there!" exclaimed Aphrodite.I just shook my head at her.She's still a brat."Aphrodite, we need to make a plan; we need to save the mother and daughter so they can help us get Sheena back to herself," I told her calmly.Yes... That girl...She went back to her childhood. We hardly spoke to her, and she always had a tail on Mother Dalia.And my good and handsome brother is very concerned about the woman they saved.He appears to be in love for the first time!"Hmph! I don't want to go back to the Carlos! I don't!"Aphrodite is displeased."Stop it, little brat! You will not wander around! We're going to save someone heller!" I even rolled my eyes at her, as she always did."Whatever, brother! Just drive!" Irritated, he complained I was staring at him.Hay! Do I have siblings like this?! Tsk.Timothy forRelated chapters

TINAI bowed and sat outside the funeral home where we took Mom.I closed my eyes and burst into tears as I remembered everything that had happened to Mom and me.Her sobs and tears were filled with grief.Oh my God.Why is this still happening to us?What is our mistake that they treat us this way?To Sheena, Mom, and I.I'm at a loss for what to do now, especially since my mother is no longer alive and Sheena is still missing; I'm not even sure how Sheena will react when she learns that our mother is no longer alive.She would be the most affected of the two of us because I knew my mother had been with her entire life, teaching her the things she needed to know.So I had to find Sheena right away because I promised Mom we'd get out of here.And we will live in peace and happiness.I wiped my face and bit my finger hard while pondering what I should do first, but I was brough

TINA We arrived safely at the Ezraels' mansion. We buried my mother earlier, and we haven't heard anything about Carlos, but they will be aware that my mother and I are no longer in that dark room. I'm not sure how I'll handle the new morning without my mother. Mom, who was always teasing me Mom, you will be missed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before entering the Ezraels' mansion. At the same time, my life changed. "Tina, sit down first. I know you're tired, but you have to tell us everything first, "Mrs. Ezrael said with a smile. I just smiled and sat quietly on their expensive couch. "I think mom, let's feed her first," said their youngest daughter, smiling at me. "Mother dahlia!" exclaimed Madam to the maid of their mansion. An elderly woman appeared from their kitchen. "God! What is this again? Why is that girl like that? " Mother Dahlia e

SHEENAWhen I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a world of pure white.What am I doing here?Once I remember what I did, I close my eyes.I'm planning to end myself; could I be dead? Will it be a new hell for me?Is it possible for me to forget the past?Are Tina and Mom Esme doing well?Could it be true that I did everything correctly?Isn't it true that I sinned?Please forgive me. Please forgive me for wishing to commit suicide.I just want to be free of the hell that my family has put me through.I just want to forget about all the pain it has caused me.Is it still possible for you to forgive me? Is it wrong for me to consider suicide despite what I'm going through?I burst into tears when I remembered Tina's grief when she saw what I did.I could see and feel his pain about what I had done.I'm sorry, but I can't live anymore because of what I've gone through...Please forgive me if I abandoned you and Mother
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 13
APHRODITE "How's she doing, Doc?" Gaze asked Sheena's doctor. When we found out he was missing, there was almost a commotion, and Gaze searched the entire hospital for her. We were worried that her family would find her and return her to where she belonged. Gaze was also angry with me, almost yelling at me because I had left Sheena. I had just gone down to get her something to eat. She may suddenly awaken and become hungry, but when I return, she is no longer in the room with her. "I told you not to abandon her! You're not really listening to me, are you? " When I saw Gaze's anger, I just closed my eyes and pouted. I had no idea she'd wake up so quickly. Then I was scolded. Gaze is upset with me. I'm terrified of him. Tsk. I apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize s

SHEENA I woke up with the sensation that someone was caressing my face, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my mother, Esme's, face, so I stood up and hugged her. "Mom..." I said as I hugged her, my eyes welling up with tears. She stroked my back. "I'm here, kid..." She spoke to me, and I was pulled away from his embrace. "I'm sorry, Mom! I'm sorry for what I did; I know it's a sin, but as time passes, I remember everything they did to me; it's just the pain of knowing that my family is still doing this to me. " I sobbed to her. She wiped my tears away as she lifted my face. "I'm not sure why they treat me this way; after all, they are my family, right? But why is this the situation? It's almost as if they treat me like an animal. " She gave me a genuine smile and stroked my hair. "Child, if you end your life, you will never find the answer to your questions; find the answer and be happy. " She sa

TINA I was able to exhale a sigh of relief after speaking with Sheena. I had no intention of telling her that my mother had died as a result of her condition, but when I saw hope in her eyes, I was the one who spoke. I knew she was deeply affected by what he discovered, and I also knew she would blame herself for what happened, but it was not her fault, in my opinion. She has the right to flee her hellish existence. Greedy people are to blame here. They murdered my mother without a fight. "We can also get justice for ourselves," I assured him. I also stroked her hair. She stared at the ceiling without emotion, but tears streamed down her cheeks. I averted my gaze and left her alone because I felt she needed to be alone right now, so I exited the room. I just sat in the chair outside, leaning against the wall. Now that I'm certain Sheena is fine, I'm not sure what I'm going to do
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 16
APHRODITE When I realized they were gone, I took one last look at them before slowly walking out and closing the door behind me, away from Tina and Sheena. I took a deep breath and walked away, despite the fact that the doctors and nurses were running down the corridor. They appear to have arrived already. I kept walking until I came to the office of one of the doctors here, at which point I went inside. I firmly closed my eyes before turning to face the doctor, but fuck! I almost fell because I could see who was in front of me. "You're a jerk, Leonardo!" I yelled at him. "Do you think it's okay for me to be a doctor?" He asked me with a smile, and I just rolled my eyes at him. "No! Why are you dressed like that? " I was irritated, so I asked him, and instead of answering, he threw a nurse's uni

APHRODITE"Pardon me, doc?"We paused.I smiled quietly as we faced them.Leonardo re-adjusted his glasses before smiling.I'm still looking around, hoping to spot Gaze! Gad!I haven't seen him since a few days ago."Does Sheena have a patient here?" Mrs. Carlos pretended to inquire politely about Leonardo.That will make them very happy.Tsk, guess who the saints are."Sheena? I've heard she's dead before. Is she the one I saw on TV?" Leonardo smiled back and asked them.Damn!I want Leon to be impressed by his acting abilities!Carlos had no idea who he was! Hihi!"Oh my, maybe not her, but someone told us there was a patient here named Sheena," Mrs. Carlos laughed.We were interested in what they said because we wanted to know who said them."Who exactly is she, ma'am?" I asked her, despite the fact that my hands were itching to tweak with them.Oh, no!"Um, Mr. and Mrs. Carlos, Ms. Shannon..."A nur

"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
