“Raya, you are such a disobedient little brat. I don’t want you in my house. Leave right now!”
My mom's mean words hurt me a lot. Her angry voice makes me feel scared and small. I can feel how mad she is at me, and it's heavy on my heart.
Across from me, a man in his late forties who is said to be my father sits on the sofa, speaking up, urging my mother to reconsider. "Amanda, don’t just kick her out yet. Who will do the house chores if you kick her out?" I see my mom's anger start to go away, and she looks like she's thinking.
There's a hint of reconsideration in her eyes, but she's still looking at me with a mean look.
Even though things are tense, I hold onto a small hope that this argument might help improve our difficult relationship.
"No, William. She is a thief. She has stolen my diamond earrings!" My mother's accusing words are aimed at my father and me, weighing heavily on me and causing my heart to race as I struggle to understand the betrayal in her tone.
I sit there on the cold floor, on the verge of tears, my voice trembling as I question with a shaky tone, "Why would I do that? Am I not your daughter?" her gaze shifts back to me, her eyes cold and unforgiving. In a moment of brutal honesty, she delivers a blow that cuts deep into my soul, "No! You are not and you never will be."
Her words hit me like a punch, throwing me off balance and leaving me reeling, my emotions in chaos. Tears gather at the corners of my eyes, blurring my vision as they roll down my cheeks, each one a silent expression of the hurt and abandonment I feel.
I knew about my adoption, but I held onto a small hope that my parents would love me no matter where I came from.
As my mother's painful words fill the room, I turn to my father, hoping to find empathy or understanding in his eyes. My heart sinks as I realize that the rejection is mutual, cutting me to the core.
My attention then shifts to the figure standing at the top of the stairs, Sean, my brother. His hands are crossed over his chest, a sly grin playing on his lips. He acts cold and indifferent towards me like he doesn't care.
There is a big gap between us, with no love or warmth. I've always been pushed aside, only getting a little bit of love and attention compared to my sibling.
Sean, the favorite child, enjoys special treatment like a prince, with our parents fulfilling his every wish.
Alone in my small room, I am lying on my stomach, my mother's warnings bearing down on me, stirring up a storm of feelings.
Tears fill my eyes, hot and flowing freely, as I curse my luck and the hardships I have faced in life.
The command from my mother echoes in my head, her strict order to pack up and go ringing in my ears. Panic sets in as I come to terms with the harsh truth that I will soon be without a home.
Where will I go?
What will become of me in this unforgiving world?
How am I going to find my family?
Just when I am lost in my thoughts, the door to my room creaks open, and a figure enters. He leans against the doorframe, his gaze fixed on me. Panic grips me, fear enveloping my entire being.
“What are you doing here?” I ask and he shuts the door behind him, approaching me with a sly grin plastering on his face.
I sit back on the bed, feeling both alarmed and terrified. I prepare myself to run away if he tries to do something. However, he proves to be much stronger than me, swiftly pinning me against the mattress with his weight bearing down on me.
His hand covers my mouth completely, causing my eyes to widen in alarm as my heart pounds frantically in my chest. His grin continues as he leans in close, whispering, "Do you think I would allow you to escape that easily?"
He is monstrous, the very man who is said to be my brother.
"Sean, what are you doing? Please don't!" I plead with him as he releases his grip on my mouth.
I know the rules.
Don’t shout.
Don’t tell anyone.
Don’t complain and just take it.
Sean says that we are not related by blood which means whatever he is doing to me is right.
I might have agreed to it only if my consent was in it. But I hate it…I hate it when his tongue is crawling all over my body.
I hate it when he touches me inappropriately. I hate when he forcefully enters inside me and forces me to take all of it. I hate it when he forces himself into my mouth.
He does strange things to me, and I often wake up with random bruises on my body.
There's a scar on my chest, between my breasts, from a cigarette burn given by him.
“You can never escape me!” his raspy voice comes to my ears and I immediately respond with, “They are sending me away.” his eyes darken, his grip on my throat tightens, and with his teeth gritted he utters, “That won't happen.”
This person purposely left my mother's earrings in my room to upset her and now that she's kicking me out, he's trying to convince her. Apparently, he is the only one who gains benefit out of me. Well, the others too…everyone but in their own ways.
Before I can utter a word, he silences me with a forceful kiss, biting my lower lip in a way that feels inappropriate and violating.
The reason I cannot find the courage to speak about this is because I fear no one will believe me.
RayaWhen I open my eyes, I find myself lying in a hospital bed. Panic starts rising in my chest the moment my mind starts showing images of the events that lead me to the hospital. I am about to get up when a pair of strong arms engulfs me. I look up and my heart is instantly at ease when I look at Carlos' face. I check his whole body, to see if there are any wounds that I might be aware of. “Relax, my love. I am fine. And so are you.” As if he understands why I am so concerned all of a sudden. I look into his eyes. A small smile appears on his face, making him look more handsome than he already is. I can't say if my heart is going crazy because one moment , my heart is at ease for finding him alright, and the next moment, I find my heart pounding against my rib cage as I look at his smile.“Then why are we at the hospital?” I can't help but ask him. “That's because right after the gun went off, you decided to pass out in my arms. I had to rush you to the hospital. You were cold.”
CARLOS The door swings open, Jake steps in with Saraya. Her eyes are puffy and I can see dried tear marks all over her chest. I am angry enough to murder those who laid hands on her. “To torture her, they brought Myers in. I was there right on time.” I nod at the information I get from Jake. Saraya runs into my arms. “It's alright, baby. I know, they hurt you. I will make them pay for that. But you are safe now. Jake will get you out as soon as they are done with the questions they want to ask us. The warrants are fake. I just found out.” I whisper softly in Saraya's ear.Saraya looks at me, blinking innocently. If only she can understand how this cruel world is running. “Your lawyer is here. He is fucking the chiefs of this precinct in the ass for pulling such stunt on Saraya. He is here with her certificate of postpartum.” With that last piece of information, Jake leaves the interrogation room. I know for the sake of Saraya, I can trust Jake will take care of the rest. While my
RAYAIn the morning, when I open my eyes, my gaze meets with a pair of sparkling eyes that are staring at me with such an admiration that makes my heart tremble in my chest. “What are you looking at?” I am stretching my limbs as I ask him.“It has been a while since I watched you sleep so soundly. It has been a while since I heard you snoring peacefully.” His response makes me blush. I want to hide my face but I am stunned by his response, so much that I can't even move. With wide eyes and mouth agape, I stare at him in utter shock.“You were in my room all night?” I can't help but ask him. Although, it's clear to me that he has never really left my room since he had brought me back to his place. “I had to make sure that you are safe and you have slept well. I am glad I was able to see you sleeping peacefully without any nightmares scaring you in the middle.” I can only smile at his response. He is caring for me. He has always cared for me.Sitting up, I look at his face. It's no lon
RAYAMy heart is trembling with fear as I step out of the car. As usual, Sean is busy flashing his teeth for the paparazzi while I get out of the car on my own. I can't remember him ever holding a door open for me. Of course, I can't expect someone like Myers to be gentle and caring. A fraud like him can never care for another soul but his own selfish self.He is making sure he gets to have his pictures in every single newspaper the very next day. “One with your wife, Mr Myers.” One of the reports shouts at Myers. He turns to look at me. Giving me a disgusting look, Myers turns back to the camera. His usual smile is back on his face as he poses for all the cameras while holding me against his chest.I want nothing to do with him. But for the time being, I a
CARLOS“I plan on using this evidence to ruin for good.” My words hit him hard, like a brick. William blinked in confusion at first. “What are you talking about?” He asked in confusion. Either he is too stupid or just too smart when he refuses to take the easiest hint I throw at him.Clicking my tongue, I walk toward the table that is equipped with the tools of torment. I don't plan on using those myself as I am too concerned about the woman that ruled every corner of my heart. But at this point, I am determined. Grabbing a noseplase, I turn around. Biting onto that tool, I am looking into his eyes that are glaring at the plas, I undo my cuffs and wrap my sleeves up so his blood won't stain my perfectly ironed shirt. I watch the blood literally draining from William's face when he looks at me. I am not smiling at all. In fact, I am so mad, I can literally chew him down alive, without thinking much. A chair is placed in front of the fucker without me asking for it. My men don't need
