Loreen woke up from her unconscious state after a maximum of thirty minutes. She sat up and shook her throbbing head with a grimaced face. Her eyes glanced around, and a deep breath escaped her mouth.
She bent down and peeked under the bunk, and a wide smile formed on her lips when she saw the syringe she knocked from the tray. She picked it up and stared at it. This pin is her only way to escape.
She pulled out the pin from the syringe and carefully examined it. Her eyes glanced at the door and around the room to make sure there was nothing like a CCTV camera around. A smile formed on her lips when she saw there wasn't any.
She inserted the pin into the lock and began to twist it in different ways. She placed the lock close to her ear and attentively listened to the sound the pin produced inside of it. She did this for almost an hour before she tiredly brought her aching hand down. That was harder than she thought.
The sun gradually set and another day began. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she peeked through the diminutive window in the room. Her mother's funeral will be taking place tomorrow, and her father gave a strict order to the hospital to prevent her from showing up at the funeral.
A soft chuckle left her mouth, and with a click of her tongue, she shook her head. What makes them think that they can prevent her from attending her mother's funeral? Nothing and no one will stop her from attending that funeral tomorrow. Her hand balled into a tight fist and she averted her gaze from the window.
She raised her hand and stared at the chain on her wrist for a while, then at the pin beside her on the bonk. Today she has to unlock these chains and escape, or she might never get to see her mother.
She picked up the pin and inserted it into the lock. Just like before, she placed it near her ear and began to twist it.
The pin wriggled inside the lock, showing signs of being unlocked but not yet. Loreen twisted the pin inside the lock for minutes, and a cold sweat began to drip down her back. This has to work, she kept telling herself as her fingers controlled the pin inside the lock.
An hour passed, and still, nothing happened. She dropped her hand, which was already sore and aching, and a deep breath left her mouth. Her face grimaced as her eyes stared at her wrist, which had turned a shade of red as a result of the chain latching on it.
She took a little rest and then proceeded to try again. She did this for four hours, resting when needed and continuing afterward.
At the last minute of the fifth hour, a cracking sound suddenly reverberated from within the lock, and Loreen's eyes dilated. Did she successfully unlock it?
She hurriedly dropped the pin and proceeded to remove the chain from her wrist. A victory smile formed on her brims when the chain fell off, setting her wrist free. She rubbed her sore wrist and her eyes viciously gazed at the door. Tonight she will escape.
She latched the chain back on her wrist and quietly laid down on the bed, patiently waiting for the nurse who injects her every day to arrive.

The clock ticked and minutes were enacted. The sun went down and the sky turned shades of dark. Loreen's eyes gazed at the door from which the nurse would come in through any minute from now.
"10-9-8-7-6-5-" Her hand balled into a fist and her heart thumped nervously." --3-2-1," The doorknob turned and the door slowly opened.
A nurse with a friendly smile plastered on her face walked in and ambled towards Loreen with a tray that had a syringe and a bottle of drugs in it. The nurse dropped it on the small table and squatted down with her back facing Loreen.
She picked up the syringe and prepared to fill it up.
Loreen's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she slowly removed the chains from her wrist. She stood up without making any noise and silently walked to the nurse.
The nurse felt someone behind her and she turned her head around. However, a furious kick landed on her face and sent her crashing heavily to the floor.

"You!..." A groan escaped her mouth, and she hatefully glared at Loreen. She tried to get up, but another kick from Loreen landed on her face, causing her to fall and lay flat on the floor. Loreen walked up to her and grabbed her by the collar. She began to send punches after punches to the nurse's face, and when her hand became bloody from all the punching, she banged the nurse's head on the floor and released her grip.
Her eyes stared at the nurse, and she blinked nervously. Her heart thumped anxiously, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She had never done so before, so it was normal for her to react this way.
She grabbed the nurse by the leg and dragged her to the bunk. She pulled out the phone from inside the nurse's clothing and undressed her.
Loreen outfitted herself in the nurse's uniform and readjusted her hair just like the nurse did. She glanced at the nurse one last time and picked up the tray. She left the room and locked the door.
Her eyes darted around the hallway, and she proceeded to walk forward. She bent her head and walked a little hurriedly to avoid suspicion.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the exit door out of the hospital, and without delay, she proceeded to walk towards it. She had just gotten halfway to the door when she suddenly bumped into someone, who glared at her, "Hey! Watch where you're going! "
"Sorry," Loreen hurriedly stood up and scurried out of the hospital, not even looking at the man she had run into. The moment she made it out, she unhesitantly took to her heels and made sure to run very far from the hospital.
She stopped running when she got to a bridge, and her eyes gazed down at the water under it. She stared at the reflection of the stars in the water and chuckled at herself. A 20-year-old likes her suffering as if she were a big adult.
Her agemates are having fun and making boyfriends and all, but here she is living a bitter life. She turned around to gaze at the cars passing on the road, and the breeze brushed past her, causing her hair to flutter.
She pulled out the scissors she stole from the tray and grabbed a handful of her hair. She proceeded to cut her hair so short it didn't even reach the neck length it was before.
Strands of her hair fell into the water, and a soft laugh escaped her mouth. She spread her hands and allowed the breeze to gracefully brush past her". Mr. Adolpho!!!!-" She screamed, crazily laughing afterward. "-Let's see how you stop me now!"
The scorching sun didn't beautify the sky today; rather, dark clouds covered it and heavy rain was currently falling.At a cemetery, people outfitted in black clothing stood with umbrellas over their heads, shielding them from the heavy rain pouring down. Some had tears raining down their faces, while some kept a sad face and watched the priest who was praying for a corpse inside a coffin."May her gentle soul rest in peace," The priest blessed the corpse and stepped back. A middle-aged man with two beautiful girls beside him stepped towards the coffin and gazed at it for a moment before throwing the flowers in their hands into the coffin.The middle-aged man, who was naturally Mr. Adolpho, motioned for his two daughters to follow him out of the cemetery. "Our business is done here." He said this to his two daughters and walked out of the cemetery. The two girls glanced at the coffin that had been rolled into the six-foot hole and went after their father.At a distance from the burial
With her eyes tightly shut, Loreen waited to fall and drown in the water beneath the bridge. However, that never happened; rather, she felt herself floating in midair.She slowly opened her eyes and looked down, only to see that she was still far from falling into the water. She raised her head to look up and see what was precluding her from falling.commentHer blurry eyes flickered in confusion when she saw that it was a man's hand that was tightly holding onto her wrist. She fluttered her eyes to try and see his face, but he was blurry.Adepe , who is currently holding onto her wrist, gritted his teeth and, with all his strength, he gripped Loreen's wrist tightly and flipped her up into the air. He hurriedly drew back and gestured with his hands, letting her fall into his embrace.commentHe squatted down with Loreen in his arms and caressed her wet hair. Why resort to suicide? Adepe couldn't help but ask himself as his eyes stared at the young girl in his arms. Why would a youthf
Amy paced back and forth in her room while stroking her jaw with a serious face. If no one feeds her, she might starve to death. Amy thought with a pessimistic face. When did father become so ruthless? Amy took a soft sigh and sat on her bed. She is not sure if it's a good idea to help Loreen. If her father ever catches her, she will be in deep shit. She took a deep breath and rubbed her temples with her fingers, then stood up from the bed and walked to the door. Her eyes glanced around the hallway that has rooms on each side, and she nodded her head. If she is going to help Loreen, she needs to make sure that everyone is asleep. She bit her lip and tiptoed out of her room to the kitchen. Loreen clutched her throbbing head and her eyes gradually opened. She coughed hard from the dust that she breathed in from the cold floor and pressed her numb hands on the floor to aid herself in sitting up. Her eyes glanced around the room, and her face paled when she realized that the room was a
Mr. Adolpho took a deep breath and ignored her. He glanced at one of his men and waved his fingers at them. His men gave a slight bow and walked towards him with something that anyone who sees will know it's a whip. Loreen's eyes creased when she saw the whip, and a deep frown emerged on her face. Was he going to whip her or what? Mr. Adolpho received the whip, and a smirk crept onto his lips. He motioned for two of his men to stand behind Loreen. They bowed and ambled to Loreen's side. One of the two of them abruptly kicked Loreen on the back knee, causing her to fall on her knees. Loreen's hand balled into a fist and she coldly glared at her father. Mr. Adolpho ignored her glare and waved his hand, signaling them to hold her down. He stood up from his seat and placed his hand behind his back, then he began to walk around her. "Such an unfilial daughter. I reckon you need to be taught a little lesson." He abruptly stopped and glanced at her with a half-smile on his face. "Take t
The sun went down and darkness covered the sky. Loreen peeped from the small glass window to the sky that had a bright half-moon and thousands of stars on it. A deep sigh left her lips and a half-smile crept on her brims. They always said that when a person dies, they would become a star and shine down on their loved ones, and right now she's hoping that it's true.The door to the attic creaked open and Loreen turned her head to the door. A deep frown emerged on her face when she saw who it was and her hand tightly balled into a fist. "What are you doing here?" She glared at her sister who was walking towards her with a first aid kit in her hand.Amy ignored her and placed the first aid kit on the floor when she got close to her. She glanced at Loreen and took a deep breath. "Just let me help you. Those wounds need treatment." She stared at her with an intriguing look on her face."Get! out!" Loreen's eyes narrowed and she coldly emphasized her words. These people are so bothersome. W
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
