Destination

As soon as Inessa got inside the door and heard that door behind her to get shut, her blood turned cold in fear by witnessing those eyes of her aunt glaring at her, like they were throwing daggers at her with its cunning and evil intensity.

"Where the hell were you, you pathetic girl?"

Her throat turned dry hearing the shouting voice of her aunt. She darted her eyes down to the floor and didn't dare to open her mouth in front of that woman, who was her guardian, but in reality she was a living nightmare for her.

"I have asked you something, you deaf. You were supposed to be here before 8 from your work but now it's 9 p. m. Where the fuck you were?"

Inessa heard her aunt's wrathful words snarling at her. She tried to open her mouth for replying but her mouth got shut, hearing another voice.

"She was enjoying and celebrating her birthday with her special ones because I just saw her getting out of a taxi outside our door,”

Inessa darted her eyes towards the owner of that voice and a shiver ran down her spine by watching her aunt's son, Martin, coming downstairs with his evil smirk playing on his face, who was nothing less as compared to his mother in cruelty, instead he was much worse than his mother.

"Right Inessa, weren’t you celebrating your birthday with your special friends, that's why you got a little late?"

She heard him questioning her while gazing at her, cunningly.

"What?” Her aunt uttered, disbelief, and before Inessa could understand anything further, her aunt grabbed a fist of her hair.

"You lowlife, I have sent you out for working, not for enjoying," Her aunt uttered to her through gritted teeth while pulling her hair more harshly.

Inessa's eyes filled with tears, feeling that painful sting on her head. She clutched her hair, trying to part them away from her aunt’s aggressive hold.

"No.. Aunt Rein... I was.... "

"Shut the fuck up," Rein roared at her and then harshly shoved her on the floor.

Inessa gulped sharply and wiped the tears on her cheeks. She hung her head low.

"You were supposed to get your monthly remuneration today, so take out the money right now, "

Inessa heard her aunt snapping at her while extending her palm towards her, which made Inessa to sigh. She put her palm inside the side pocket of her dress and took out all the money she had.

Her aunt snatched the money from her hold and then gave it to her son, who was silently watching everything with his devilish grin.

"Martin, check it. If she has taken something from it or not?"

Inessa's body turned numb, hearing her words and by watching Martin taking the money. He started counting it and then Inessa found the evil smirk on his face to turn more demonic and she knew exactly for what reason.

Martin took his head above and then looked at her horrified hazel orbs and grinned.

"Some amount is missing from this, Mom,"He stated, which made Inessa's body tremble in fear, especially by watching Rein to clench her jaw and glaring at her.

"Where the fuck is the rest of the money, Inessa?"

Rein queried her with her clenched teeth, making Inessa to gulp.

"Answer me.... "

"I.. I have spent it on the taxi fare," She replied, stuttering, but a terrible yelp escaped from her mouth when she felt Rein again grab her hair and clutch them vigorously.

"You bitch, how dare you even think about taking money from it?” Rein yelled, pulling her hair more violently, making her hiss.

"You've legs to walk then how in hell do you dare to book a taxi?"

Tears rolled down from her eyes. Inessa tried to free her hair from her grip which angered Rein more who gave her hair a painful tug.

Inessa gasped.

"You filth, seems like you haven't learnt your lesson from what I did to you last time,"

Inessa's heartbeat accelerated in fear at her words.

"N.. No.. I.. I am sorry.. I won't do it again.. Please.... " She begged her while shedding her tears continuously, which made Martin chuckle.

"Mom, let it be for today because it's her birthday, so we can spare her this time," He commented, making more tears fall from her eyes.

"No, bitches like her really need to get taught a lesson to make sure they don't forget how worthless and disgusting they are," Rein retorted and then forcefully pushed Inessa on the floor which made her fall on her knees with a loud thud.

"Especially a whore and slut, just like her mother,"

Her teary hazel eyes snapped towards Rein from the floor which had turned red with anger and pain, after hearing her words for her deceased mother.

"Don't you dare to call my mother with these names,” Inessa raised her voice while tightly fisting her palms because she was capable of enduring any pain in this world but not someone to even think about wrong for her late mother.

"You've a problem with me, hurt me, take my life but don't you even think about insulting my mother... I'll..."

Her words got stuck into her throat whereas her upper body got forcefully collided with the floor by feeling that harsh and abrupt slap on her face.

"You will what... You whore?" Martin groaned, fisting a handful of her hairs, and again slapped her already burning cheek.

"You are characterless and a slut just like how your mother was. Pathetic, downcast woman, who used to spread her legs in front of any man for money and you are just like her,"

Her eyes flamed up in tears, hearing those venomous words. Inessa gritted her teeth at him, which made him again pull her hair forcefully and tugged her face upward.

He glowered into her glossy reddened eyes and snapped at her.

"And it's your mother's whoreness proof that, even at this age, you still don't know the name of your father or who knows, maybe fathers..."

As soon as those words came out from his mouth, Inessa spit on his face and clenched her jaw, which made Martin wipe his face with the back of his sleeve.

"You fucking slut, " He roared and hardly slapped her face. She again fell on the floor.

Blood started oozing from the corner of her lips, whereas her eyes started burning with tears but before she could recover from his hit, she felt another forceful blow on her cheek which turned her face numb in pain. Her body got forcefully snatched from the floor and as she was forced to stand on her legs.

Inessa, with her half closed eyes, looked at a raging Rein, who again slapped her and shouted.

"How dare you spit at my son, you lowlife pathetic bitch?"

Rein grabbed her collar and then dragged her already weak body towards the door. Rein opened the door and shoved Inessa out of it, causing her to fall on the street.

"Don't show your ugly face till morning or else I'll kill you right here right now. Now get the fuck out from here," Rein blurted out, peering into her watery eyes and then shut the door with a loud thud.

Inessa gazed at that closed door, whereas her eyes started paining with the amount of tears she had shedded, so she wiped her face, but badly hissed when her palm grazed over the wound on the corner of her lips, which was still dripping blood.

She gently cleaned it with the sleeve of her clothes and with the support of her hands, she slowly got up on her feet and softly sighed because what had just happened with her was not something new to her. She was used to that pain from the mere age of 15 and now at the age of 20, she had gotten used to the numbness of that pain.

Inessa again looked at that closed wooden door where she knew she had to return back, no matter where she went but for now, she was ready to go where she had forever wanted and needed to be.

She took her steps towards her destination where her 'HEAVEN' was

And where tonight, she was going to become someone's 'HEAVEN'.
