2026-03-06 11:50:08The car carrying Livia stopped in front of the large Moreau family house.
She looked at the magnificent mansion that had always felt more like a prison than a home. Livia stepped out with weak steps. Her neck still hurt. Her cheek still burned from Claire’s slap. But the most painful thing was not her body. It was Adrian De Luca’s gaze the last time he looked at her. A gaze full of disgust. Livia took a deep breath and stepped inside. The moment her foot crossed the main door— A scream was heard from inside the house. A woman’s scream. Full of pain. Livia’s body immediately froze. That voice… she knew it very well. “Mom!” Livia ran without thinking. The pain in her lower body, she ignored. The sound of whipping echoed loudly from the living room. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! When Livia arrived there, the sight before her made her blood run cold. Robert Moreau stood with a leather whip in his hand. On the floor, a woman had fallen, her body trembling. Rossa. Her mother. The simple dress the woman wore was torn in several places. Her back was covered with red wounds. Thin blood seeped from the torn skin. But Robert did not stop. The whip was raised again. SMACK! Rossa’s scream filled the room. On the living room sofa— Melly sat calmly. Her arms held Claire, who was crying uncontrollably. As if they were the victims. As if they were the ones most hurt at this moment. And not far from there— Adrian De Luca stood silently. Watching everything. Livia did not think anymore. “Mom!” She ran and immediately embraced Rossa’s body lying on the floor. Robert’s whip stopped in the air for a moment. But only for a moment. SMACK! The whip now struck Livia’s back. The girl’s body jerked. But she did not release her embrace. She covered her mother’s body with her own. Robert laughed coldly. “So you’re back?” The whip swung again. SMACK! SMACK! This time all the blows fell on Livia’s back. But the girl made no sound. No scream. No cry. As if her skin had felt this kind of pain too many times before. Rossa cried hysterically in her arms. “Stop! Please stop!” SMACK! Another lash struck Livia’s back. Her body trembled. But she remained silent. “Go away, Livia, let me be the one your father beats,” Rossa cried with a trembling voice. “I’m still strong…” Livia shook her head slowly. She even forced a small smile. “No, Mom.” Her voice was weak, but calm. “I’m very strong.” The whip fell again. SMACK! But Livia still did not scream. “I’m already used to feeling this,” she continued softly. Her eyes looked at her mother gently. “Look at me.” She smiled faintly. “I’m not crying.” “You didn’t even hear me scream.” Those words made Rossa cry even harder. “Forgive me… forgive me…” The woman cried as she looked at her daughter’s face. “I can’t protect you…” Robert snorted harshly. His face was filled with anger. The whip was raised again. “You two are exactly the same!” SMACK! Another harsh lash landed. “Do you think I don’t know what happened today?” He pointed the whip at Livia. “This shameless girl dared to seduce her own sister’s fiancé!” Rossa shook her head in panic. “No! Livia would never do that!” Robert laughed mockingly. “Oh really?” His eyes were full of hatred as he looked at Rossa. “Who taught her if not you?” Those words struck harder than the whip. “Do you think I forgot how you seduced me back then?” His voice was full of contempt. “A cheap village woman pretending to be innocent.” Rossa froze. Her tears fell endlessly. Robert stepped closer. His face was hard. “You destroyed my marriage with your tricks.” He pointed at Livia again. “And now your daughter is doing the same thing!” The whip swung again. SMACK! Livia staggered, but still covered her mother’s body. Robert looked at them with disgust. “Cheap blood never changes.” He spat on the floor. “Women like you only know how to spread your legs to get a better life.” Rossa cried even harder. But Livia remained silent. Her head slowly turned. Her eyes finally met Adrian De Luca’s gaze. The man was still standing in the same place. Watching everything. His gaze was cold. There was no sympathy. No intention to stop it. As if Livia’s suffering was nothing more than an ordinary sight. And at that moment, Livia finally understood something. In their world— she was nothing more than trash.

Rossa looked at her daughter’s face with deep guilt, as if every line on Livia’s face was a reminder of a mistake she could never correct.“If only I had not been so foolish… if only I had known that I was pregnant with you at that time…” her voice trembled, almost unable to continue. “You might never have existed in this world. I would rather you had never been born.”Tears streamed down Rossa’s face as she spoke those words, as if every drop carried the regret she had long kept buried.Livia fell silent.Her chest felt tight, as if something was pressing heavily inside it.“Do you… regret giving birth to me?” her voice was soft, almost inaudible.She had never imagined that her existence could be such a burden to her mother.Without hesitation, Rossa nodded.“If you had not been born from the womb of a woman like me… perhaps you would have had a much better mother. A father who truly loved you. Not like me.” Her voice broke with sobs. “I cannot even protect myself… let alone protect

“Go.”Robert gave the order with a look of disgust, as if their mere presence had contaminated the room.Rossa felt relieved when she heard Robert’s command.Livia stood up first, even though her body was still trembling from the pain.“Come, Mom,” she said while helping Rossa rise slowly.Livia bit her lip as pain spread from her back, squeezing her heart as if it were being crushed. Every breath felt painful. Even her eyes reddened as she struggled to endure the pain that nearly made her lose consciousness.But she remained standing.With her weakened body, Livia walked while supporting her mother.“Livia, I can walk on my own,” Rossa said.Livia did not respond.Rossa looked far more fragile. Her legs trembled with every step, as if her body might collapse at any moment.“Later I will give you some pain medicine. The pain will disappear soon. Don’t be afraid,” Livia said in a very gentle voice.Rossa smiled faintly and nodded.The clothes of the mother and daughter were already soa

No one knew how many times Robert had whipped his daughter’s body. Livia’s body was already soaked with blood. Her lips were pale, yet she still protected Rossa.“Livia, switch with me. Let me be on top. Later, if I can’t endure it anymore, you can take my place again,” Rossa said in a broken voice.“No, Mom, this is nothing. I’ve often experienced worse than this. Do you remember when I was splashed with boiling hot water? At that time it really hurt.”Rossa cried even harder when her daughter told the story of what had happened ten years ago.The whipping finally stopped.Not because Robert was tired.But because something else was more important to him.The scandal.The living room of the Moreau mansion was filled with heavy silence.Livia still lay on the marble floor, her body protecting her mother. The thin dress she wore was torn in many places. Her back was covered with red wounds that were still bleeding.In her arms, Rossa cried endlessly.The woman’s hands trembled as she t

Several hours earlier.The hotel ballroom was filled with crystal light.A giant chandelier reflected its glow across the entire room, making the guests’ expensive gowns sparkle like living jewels.Livia Moreau stood stiffly near the drinks table.She hardly dared to move.The white-silver gown she wore felt too beautiful for her. The soft fabric had been specially made in Paris—something she had never even imagined she could wear.The Moreau family’s diamond necklace hung around her neck.Too expensive.Too conspicuous.Too unlike her.This was the first time in Livia’s life attending a party like this.The guests spoke about stocks, billion-dollar projects, and power in low, calculating voices.Livia felt like a stranger in their world.At the far end of the ballroom stood the man who was the center of attention that night.Adrian De Luca.Tall. Upright. His handsome face with a sharp jawline made him look difficult to approach.Investors surrounded him.Everyone seemed to respect h

The commotion in the suite finally subsided.Adrian’s men moved quickly.Several men in black suits pushed the reporters out without saying much. Cameras were forced down, microphones were pulled from the air, and the tightly packed bodies were shoved toward the door.BANG!The suite door slammed shut.Silence immediately fell.Yet the air in the room felt more suffocating than before.Claire was still standing in the middle of the room. Her shoulders trembled, and her crying had not stopped. Her face was pale, her eyes red. She looked utterly devastated. Completely destroyed by betrayal.A few steps away from her, Livia stood trembling behind the blanket she clutched tightly.“Claire… I didn’t—”SLAP!A harsh slap landed on her cheek.Livia’s head was thrown to the side. A burning pain immediately spread across her face.She had not even finished speaking.“You dare call my name?” Claire’s voice trembled with anger.Livia looked at her with tear-filled eyes.“I don’t know how I ended
