>>Valek (14 years old)
I was weak.
That was something I learned time and again in my life.
A middle school kid, fourteen years of age, yet had no authority or power.
When I started going to school I learned how much people feared and admired the Vincenzo name yet somehow I was actually in the same category with them.
I feared that family as well, precisely because even though I had the Vincenzo blood, I didn’t have the power that came along with it and that is why I was in such a bad state.
If I think about it, it might just be my own fault, I should have done something to avoid this.
>>Valek (14-15 years old)The whipping had a routine, when Risa wanted to she’d call me down in the basement room and when she was done, I’d go back to my room where Ains would be present to dress my wounds.The injury would leave me incapable of doing anything for a few days and I had to skip a lot of days from school.When my body could move, I would go to school but my interaction with people started to become non-existant. The people who used to talk to me backed off pretty easily since everyone knew I was a Vincenzo. No one wanted to get on my bad side and so the teachers also overlooked the fact that I wasn’t at school most of the time as long as I was giving the exams.Colors of life started to fade away. Everyth
>> Valek (15-16 years old)It was a school day, the middle of the week but I was staying at home since I had gotten a batch of my third whipping.It was lighter than the first one or perhaps I had gotten a bit used to it or maybe My mind and body had just stopped caring altogether but whatever, at least I only got three in the whole year and recovered from them nicely.Like any other day, I was in my room staring at the ceiling as I laid in my bed.I didn’t like having any interaction with the servants since I hated their gazes. It was full of pity and nauseating emotions. So, I preferred to avoid them.I was busy doing nothing when the door of my room opened quietly.
>>Valek (16 years old)For some reason, everyone who made me promises, just wasn’t fulfilling them.The ones who would have, never made them.What the reason was for that, I don’t know but the fact stays there burned in my brain that people will always betray.In the end, you have to rely on yourself and take the kind of decisions you never thought you would but those decisions are the only ones that can get you out of your misery.May they be evil.May they change youMay they turn your whole life upside down.The time was near wh
>>Valek (16 years old)I lovingly looked at the chains as I realized that they could be a very good way of torturing a person to death. They looked so nice and plump, I felt a little giddy when I thought about using them, so much that I could help but smile with them in my hands.Then I turned my face and looked at the closed double door.There are two spots where I can stand.I nodded to myself as I came to an understanding and made my way to stand at a blind spot.It was time.Time to finally be free from this shitty treatment.Time for it all to come to an end.
>>Valek (16 years old)Each day the people in the mansion would look at me knowing full well I was behind what had happened to their madam but since they also knew what she did to me, none of them spoke about anything. Most of the people working at the mansion were grandmother's with only a few of Risa’s left, and they too were eventually fired and new servants were hired in their places.Their gazes of pity turned into fear and they started to avoid me even more. I guess they realized a new version of me had awakened and it was someone to be feared.No one would come to me anymore to give me food except Ains, the personal butler of grandmother.Ains was a kind soul, who had somehow stuck close to grandmot
>>Hazel (Present)Ah…So he had his revenge.So that’s why he left the door open. He wanted her to feel the same kind of hope even though it was impossible for her to move and escape.…That was very heavy.I gulped,It was a little too heavy… My heart feels burdened and I feel sad too. I don’t really know what to say to him.This actually explained a lot about him, along with his twisted way of releasing his stress and why he values promises. Why he doesn’t like the Vincenzo mansion or
>>Hazel“Hey,” I waved my hand in front of his face, “Is something wrong?”He shook his head, “Uh nothing,” He blinked at the floor a few times and made his frown disappear, “You must have been mad, taking care of a kid you didn’t even ask for.”I was confused at his sudden change of question but then I Chuckled, “I was really mad when I found out I was pregnant.” I sighed, “But when he was born, I felt like I fell in love.” I looked at nothing in particular with a loving expression, “I can’t describe it in words, how blessed I felt.” I spoke softly, “When he came into my arms, I felt like I could do anything for him.” I licked my lips, “He was a tiny preci
>>HazelI was so shocked by what I had learned I couldn’t bring myself to say anything to anyone.Back there, the certificate dropped out of my hand while I was in shock and Renma came to the office to come and drag me out in a frenzy while yelling that they all were already late.From that spot in time till now, where we have reached our destination and arrived at the villa we were staying at, I was too lost to say anything to anyone except a simple yes and no.The car stopped in front of a beautiful place. A luxurious villa that stood tall with its beauty in the pretty environment. It had three floors and a private beach of its own on it’s back side. The mansion was designed in a way that both the side of the
