Delphina's slim fingers shook as she carefully poured the hot water into the fragile china cup, keeping her eyes on the delicate handle to prevent any unintended contact.

Kaylina, her stepmother, sat elegantly on a chair with her legs crossed at the table, sipping tea and carefully watching Delphina with her piercing blue eyes.

She felt her heart drop as she hunched her shoulders from the heaviness of her stepmother's stare. Kaylina's contempt made her feel as delicate as a leaf being stepped on. Gordon Levitt, her father, sat at the head of the table, engrossed in the morning paper, seemingly unaware of the tension between his daughter and his new wife.

Her mind wandered to her mother, Dalia, whose comforting grin and soft caress felt far away. The loss of her mother created a huge void in Delphina's life, and her father's quick remarriage only made the situation worse.

While serving breakfast, Delphina's lips trembled as tears filled her eyes. Her self-esteem had long been worn dow

    Calytrix felt like slapping herself. H-how could she hurt her dear mom, whom she was trying so hard to save?Two rivers streamed down her cheeks while the two men chuckled, unfeeling towards her plight. Calytrix saw blood flowing down her mom's right ankle, and the latter's cries, though muffled, had increased in intensity. "Mom..." She called out in a choked-up voice, shoulders racking, "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry!" She cried, tears flowing profusely. However, the two men weren't interested in her drama. It wasn't entertaining to them. The baldie yanked her up by the hair after forcing the gun into her hand. Her knees were still trembling as she snuffled. "Please, I don't want to...""Jylio, send that thing to her maker," Azylle told the man above. "Sure thing, bro," the masked man spoke for the first time and proceeded to cut faster at another rope.Seeing this, Calytrix's eyes widened in fear, and she vigorously shook her head, "No-no please, I'll shoot. I'll shoot, please."

    From the building emerged a porky fellow sporting a high fade mohawk, wearing a black shirt that had a prominent fiery-eyed skull design on the front.He paired this with a pair of dark grey trousers that had several pockets. Both ears sported earrings, striped in black and red, which swayed as he walked. And then, he also had on a black leather choker with silver spikes, which seemed out of place on his short neck.However, she wasn't in a position to judge or comment on his sense of fashion."You're back, big brother," the brunet grinned as he made his way over, stopping right in front of Calytrix to gawk at her, making her expectedly uneasy. "She's not bad-looking," he said to the bald guy after nodding, "Is she a virgin?""Of course, she is." The hairless one responded with a grin, "I can tell by the way she walks. And she's so easily flustered, so easy to tease.""So she's surely fresh meat then. Look at her backside, how red would it be if I smack it?" The portly man ran his ton

    The back seat's door was soon opened by the masked man after he approached the vehicle."Step out this instant, Calytrix Forger," the dark-clothed man said to her with a gruff and unsettling voice. "You need not worry too much; I don't need your life...yet."The fact that this unknown man also knew her name made her fear spike. But though fleyed and very much unwilling, she could only obey his command. Stepping out to face the man looming over her, her heart was pounding frenziedly.She dared not behold his gaze through the eerie-looking mask he was wearing."Do as I say from now on, and you'll retain the ticket to remaining alive for a few more hours. Are we cool?" the man asked, his gloved fingers encircling her throat without exacting pressure, though. But still, she could feel danger emanating from him. She wouldn't want to defy him. So she nodded, replying with tremulous lips, "Y-yes, sir,"The man let go of her throat and walked to the other side of the vehicle to talk inaudibl

    Calytrix's eyes shot up, a gasp of disbelief escaping her parted lips as she witnessed Mrs Meyer drop down to her knees before her. "W-what are you doing, Ma'am?" she whisper-yelled, "Please stop this. You're my elder. This isn't right," she said with a look of distress while trying to help her benefactor's wife back to her feet.However, the latter remained adamant and refused to stand up. Calytrix's puzzlement rose even more. "Why are you acting this way, ma'am?""My dear, please, save my daughter," Laylina cried, pressing her trembling palms together, tears rolling down both cheeks, making the younger female even more distressed."Ma, I'm no doctor. And Sabrina will be fine, I'll assist you in caring for her, ma'am," the latter reassured softly."No, it's not that." The older woman shook her head, "Calytrix, I need you to save my daughter from her ill fate with the mafia lord. She doesn't deserve it, she's just a young soul with bright dreams." Laylina reasoned amidst snuffles.Ca

    The hospital room had finally descended into a calm and peaceful state after the doctor managed to give Sabrina her needed dose of sedatives.Calytrix tucked Sabrina under the sheets properly before standing upright. She then turned to face the doctor, who was discussing with Sabrina's father.“Sir, I'll advise that someone is always with her. She needs to be monitored based on what happened. She has developed a shock response. It's like every time she wakes up, her brain is still in that moment, and what she would try doing is killing herself,” the doctor said, a book in his hand, which he closed.“Oh… that's bad,” Mr. Meyer said, his breath heaving heavily.“You should also take a rest,” the doctor said as he noticed Mr. Meyer's state.“Miss, try to assist him with keeping an eye on Sabrina for now. She just needs to be in someone's focus,” the doctor said, turning to meet Calytrix.“Definitely, I'll do that,” Calytrix said with a nod, and then the doctor turned to leave.As the doc

    While Calytrix and Mr. Meyer were discussing, Sabrina had woken up from her induced sleep and had thought to finish what she started.Mr. Meyer, who was covering his face with his hands, quickly dropped them as he heard Calytrix shout, his head turning to face Sabrina.“Sabrina, please put it down,” he begged, his hand moving closer to Sabrina.“Don't come close to me!” Sabrina shouted, her eyes pouring with tears. “You are a devil, you’re not my father,”As Sabrina held the pin tightly in her hand, pointing it menacingly at herself, Calytrix watched in panic and gave Mr. Meyer a knowing look.When she saw that he had caught on to what she meant, he assisted by pulling Sabrina's attention to himself.“Dear, what do you mean? Why are you saying all this nonsense? What are you doing this for?” Mr. Meyer questioned his daughter, his tone laden with emotion.“You ask what I'm doing this for?” Sabrina said, laughing maniacally as she recoiled in disgust at what her father was telling her.“
