Loreen knelt on the floor with two of her father's men tightly holding onto her arms. Diminutive drops of blood fell from her wounded body to the floor, and her bloody teeth tightly clenched together. Fragile drops of tears, which she couldn't hold back anymore, fell from her eyes onto her bloody clothing. She bawled her hands, and lines of veins popped up on her neck as bashes of whip landed on her back. That was becoming unbearable! It hurts and pains her to the bones!Loreen gritted her bloody teeth and silently whimpered within her as she endured the torture and pain. Is this what she will go through every day of her life? Her eyes closed and a deep breath escaped her nose.With the bloody whip in his hand, Mr. Adolpho took a long, deep breath and glanced at Loreen. This girl is just too stubborn. He wouldn't be doing any of this to her if she would just keep quiet and be a good girl. He let out an annoyed sigh and threw the whip at his men.He pinched between his brows and turned
Mr. Adolpho's eyes dilated and fluttered in confusion. "Offer... something?" His eyes narrowed and a slight frown emerged on his face."Yes." Adepe grinned and leaned back on the sofa."Okay, what do I have to offer? Mr. Adolpho nodded his head, and he fixed his gaze on Adepe.Adepe stared at him and a half-smile formed on his lips. He crossed his legs and folded his hands. "Offering one of your daughters to me is a good way to seal up our deal." He grinned and intently watched Mr. Adolpho. "So... what do you think?" Mr. Adolpho's eyes flickered in confusion and he couldn't help but clear his throat, which suddenly became dry. "My... daughter..." He rubbed the back of his head, and a grimace emerged on his face. There is no way he is going to offer his daughter to this man. He might be a greedy man like some people say, but he has a conscience.He raised his eyes and gazed at Adepe with an awkward smile on his face. "Uhm... Is there no other request that can seal up our deal?" He sta
Loreen sat on the cold floor of the attic, caressing a bat stick in her hand with her gaze focused on the outside world. Were things going to continue this way? locked in the attic, brought out every day to receive bashes of whipping. A deep sigh escaped her lips, and she glanced at the bat in her hand.The door to the attic slammed open, startling her out of her unfocused state. She turned her head and saw her father walking towards her with a broad smile on his face. Her eyes narrowed viciously, and she vigilantly stared at him.Mr. Adolpho heartily chuckled when he got close to her. He squatted down to her level and reached out his hand to gently caress her hair with a warm smile on his lips. "Guess what, honey?" He continued caressing her hair while waiting for her reply.Loreen's eyes flickered and a grin formed on her lips. "Father, you know that I am not good at guessing." She raised her eyebrows and slightly shook her head. "Please satisfy my curiosity." She smiled widely, wit
A deep frown emerged on Amy's face, and her hand clenched tightly. "How could you?" She mumbled closer to her father. "How could you give your daughter to a cold, despicable man like that? " Mr. Adolpho's smile widened, and he sat up straight in his seat. "Would you have it if I gave you away?" He gazed at her with a slightly raised brow.Amy unclenched her hand just as her face became complicated. She fluttered her eyes and a grimace emerged on her face. She raised her eyes to glance at her father, who was staring at her in a questioning manner."No... I would not have preferred it." Her clenched fist tightened "-And just like I don't, she doesn't either." She took a slight breath, and her eyes blinked in letdown. She glanced at her father, and what seemed like pity flashed in her eyes. "I know that she can be disobedient at times, but she's your daughter.""You hit her every day, torture her every day. Isn't that enough? Why do you have to sell her off to such a despicable and crue
Loreen drew her head back in surprise, and a half-smile formed on her lips. "Thank you." She stood up with the bat stick in her right hand and scrutinized Amy from head to toe."Don't look at me like that." Amy glared at her with folded arms. "I will only help you escape, and if Dad finds you afterward, you're responsible." She started with a puckered face.Loreen's face grimaced, and she subconsciously tilted her head to one side to gaze at Amy. "What the fuck are you blabbering?" She crossed her arms and her brow creased in irritation. "I am not running away; I just need to leave for 5 hours or so and be back by 7.""Wait, what?" Amy blinked her eyes in confusion. "I thought you meant to escape to a faraway place." Her brow creased, and she gazed at Loreen in a questioning manner.Loreen's face grimaced in annoyance, and she shook her head. "Jeez, if I were to escape, how many hours do you think it would take him to find me?" She walked towards a box filled with white sheets and yan
Loreen raised her eyes to glance at him, and a deep sigh left her lips. "Just... cover it with nice tattoos, so it won't be noticeable." She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.The tattooist nodded, with a slightly pessimistic expression on his face. He walked over to stand behind her, and deep confusion couldn't help but reflect in his eyes. Who could have done such a horrid thing to a young girl like this? He had never witnessed such a thing before. Well, he has, but it wasn't as inhumane as this was. He shook his head, and his eyes fluttered in pity. The scars were just so deep and horrid."Missy, do...you really want a tattoo on this? The scars are still-""Just do it!" She said with gritted teeth and the eyes of the tattooist fluttered. "But missy-""Are you gonna do it or not?" Her eyes glared at him and he helplessly nodded. He glanced at her, through the mirror and switched on the tattoo machine. "Don't worry... those scars will be beautiful when I am done." He pat
Mr. Adolpho's eyes suspiciously darted around and fell on a young girl seated by the window with a bat stick in her hand. He gazed intently at her, and a complicated glint flashed in his eyes. He was sure that something was fishy, considering how suspicious his daughters were acting. His brow crinkled and his face grimaced in annoyance. Something is still off."Father, is something wrong?" Loreen asked, with a warm smile on her lips. She stared at her father, who was gazing at her with narrowed eyes, and she couldn't help but smirk internally. She would be so foolish as to let herself get caught. She had already planned everything and made sure to make it back in time to tidy everything up. Although, if Amy hadn't stalled him for a little bit, she might have been caught.Mr. Adolpho gazed at her for a while and subconsciously shook his head. "Nothing is wrong... I just want to check up on you." He smiled warmly, with his eyes still viciously staring at her. "As I promised you, your ex
The bright morning sun rose, blessing every living being with its light. The Adolpho mansion bustled with maids running up and down, making decorations and preparing food that waters one's mouth just from the smell.Today is the special day on which their second young lady will be getting married to the richest man in the world, the man whom everyone speaks of his scarred face behind a gray mask. A cruel and despicable man who sees his fellow humans as nothing. Annoy him, and you're dead. Well, it's a court marriage per his request, but that doesn't stop it from being a big celebration. Standing in front of the window in the attic, Loreen fluttered her eyes as she gazed at the sun in the sky. A half-smile formed on her lips, and tiny drops of tears fell from her eyes. Why was she even crying? Her life, though, has never been pleasant, so this is not new to her. She wiped away the tears and turned her head to stare at Amy, who stood beside her.Amy sighed and bit her lower lip, a glu
