Instead, it had only reinforced how much she had lost—her innocence, her dreams, her sense of self. As Elara stared at her reflection, she realized that she had been so focused on destroying those who had wronged her that she had forgotten to rebuild herself. Who was she now? Was she still Elara Hawthorne, the orphan who had been taken in out of pity, only to be cast aside when she no longer served a purpose? Or was she Elena Grey, the mysterious heiress who had swept into society with a hidden agenda? Neither name seemed to fit anymore.

I looked up at the front wall, not wanting to meet his gaze anymore because he could see my broken soul inside, which I always hide from everyone. "They stole everything from me—my hope, my innocence, and my very sense of self. For those two years, I was deprived of sunlight, the comfort of human touch, and the love that every child deserves at that tender age. My tears seemed to dry up, and a hollow emptiness settled within me as I faced the stark reality of my shattered life and the cruelty of the world when I was supposed to stay in the safe cocoon of my parents." I cried and cried and cried. My whole body was shaking uncontrollably and I knew that Vincenzo was looking at me, listening to

Roderick inquired. one of the shadows stood and started in his direction, Roderick saw a white body on the ground bucking and wreathing and silent pain.

Crash Course Rebellion is returning to school. It's currently 6 am and I'm already dressed for school which doesn't start until 8. I could barely sleep after the events of last evening. I was dreading walking through the beige halls of Greenhall and seeing the disdain on the faces of hundreds of elitist kids. They already despised me, who knows what they'll do to me now? Of course, Jackie will never let anything happen to me but just how can she protect me from the messages I've already begun to receive?

“I was 17. I was doing my my A-Levels. I took on two a part-time jobs so that I wouldn't have to beg, borrow and steal from your father. Started getting income, a small amount that showed the result of my hard work. My life was as smooth as it could get. One night is all it took to ruin my life and fill it with jagged edges of broken glass. One night where I choose to earn bit of an extra money but I came back to a cold house with extra money in my pocket and lost dignity and shame running through my veins. Mother was not there because father thought it would be a good idea to ship his second daughter back to Ibantos and Mother followed her there. I stayed back and took care of both of you.

Nobody could make him fall in love. He had been deceived in a part of his life. Now he found it difficult to trust anyone. Extremely difficult. Far from falling in love, even thinking about it seemed like a bookish thing to him. Maybe love was never written in his life. Two girls came into his life, one was a liar and the other true. One was angry and naive, the other one was innocent and wise. One intruded into his life, then the other was forcefully brought. One broke his trust, while the other started winning. One wanted him boundlessly while the other wanted to be away from him. In such a situation, his wish did not matter to anyone because his wishes were suppressed from the very beginn

He never thought she was that broken to the point of being incapable of trusting anyone but herself. “I’m such a fool… Why am I even hoping she’d still be the same Aubrey I loved for so many years after tearing her heart apart like that five years ago… Of course trusting someone would be hard for her after we betrayed her heartlessly.” Tyler said weakly. He went back to the other room and finished what he was doing to the kids. He’s also cleaning them and treating their bruises, but they seem to be far from waking up no matter how hard he shakes them, the same goes for Shane.

How could they stand coming to work everyday knowing all they did was torture people out of their innocence? To destroy their spirit without another glance, because these men might not be sticking the needle in me, but they had been as much of a part of this as Dr. Jackson. I was yanked from my revolting thoughts as the man in front of me yanked the door open and the men holding me tossed my body in the chamber without so much as a second thought. My limp legs refused to hold my weight and I collapsed to the ground in a heap. The cold, linoleum floor greeted my face as I was slammed to the ground and stars burst from behind my eyelids.

Shattered is a little word. I think I am getting better, or at least that’s what everyone is thinking, because, I was one of the active participants in Lillian’s marriage. Alexander has become a Voldemort in our family. No one raises his name. If the topic comes, they would say, that brute. But this is no joke. I could not sleep if I don’t have the pills. Even when I did, there are always been nightmares.

Chapter 97 – The Book She Wrote The house was quiet again, but this time it was the kind of quiet that hummed with purpose. The kind of quiet that filled the room with possibilities rather than emptiness. I sat at my desk, pen in hand, notebook open, staring at the blank page for a long time before writing the first words. “Shattered Vows,” I whispered to myself. The title alone made my chest tighten, a reminder of everything I had lived through—the love, the lies, the heartbreak, the forgiveness, and the slow, painstaking rebuilding of myself.
