Lareina's POV:
"You know child, you really have no shame! You're such a pig! You're going to ruin your life for that man? Knowing that it's broken, why are you going to ruin our image even more!" Dad yelled at me.
He pushed me so hard that I fell to the floor. I could taste the blood coming from the wound on my lip caused by his strong slap.
"I don't intend to destroy your image, please believe me. All I want is to win Chadwick's heart back then! I loved him very much and I thought our relationship was more meaningful then. Even now I regret it. I'm sorry for what I did," I cried.
He laughed loudly and broke our beloved vases. Mom and my sister Silka are not there. Brother Lorcan, who is always by my side and defends me, is also gone.
"You really have a thick face, Lareina! After the humiliation of your twin, now this!? You motherfucker! Verrotte in der Hölle!" dad screamed in shock.
"Ahh! Dad, that's enough!" I begged to cry.
He pulled my hair as he dragged me up the stairs. I just cried and screamed because of the pain. I suffered too much humiliation, even my family mistreated me. Especially what I've done in the past. I was too blinded and stupid.
Is it bad to love? The type that you loved everything but forgot what you were together because you found someone better than you?
He pushed me into my room and threw a glass at me. It hit my leg and broke on the floor. My leg is completely swollen and very painful. But even though I almost died from physical pain, I suffered even more emotionally.
Dad left for a long time and now that he came back he beat me because of what I did to Chadwick even though it was about five or four years ago. I know I made a mistake in arresting Chadwick and the video back then. But what can I do? I love Chadwick. I knew he loved me too, but that was then.
Only those close to us saw it, including my parents. I got a lot of mistreatment from them.
I just shook my head and tried to stand up from being hit on the floor. My body hurts and I'm tired of the hurtful words. I know what I did was wrong, very wrong. But what can I do? I just fell in love.
I sat on the bed and tried to pull out the bruises on my leg. I'm dizzy from hunger and fatigue. This is how my scene always becomes even when I was a child with my poor parents.
Because of the annoyance that I couldn't get rid of the bruises on my leg, I just lay down. I just smiled while wiping my tears. How am I now? Can I still leave the house because of the shame? Or can I still live now?

"You're poor, dear. You're always beaten by your parents. They don't even feel sorry for you," I heard a weak voice say.
Even though I was getting soft and sleepy, I tried to wake up. Nanna Lina, our assistant, appeared to me. She is close to me especially when my parents beat me like this. I often wake up to find her treating me.
"What time is it?" I asked Nanna Lina.
"It's late, dear. By the way, Ma'am Crish left a letter for you earlier," Nanna Lina said and handed over an envelope.
I saw that my leg was bandaged, I smiled. Nanna Lina is really nice, she treats me like her child. As for my parents, they treat me like a rag. They think the rag is even more useful than me.
"I'll go down, dear. Rest your wound," Nanna Lina said with a smile.
I smiled and nodded at her. When Nanna Lina came out, I adjusted my seat on the bed. My whole body is still a bit sore. Add to that I just got out of the hospital a while ago because Chadwick shot me.
I took the envelope and read the letter inside. It's from Crish. Why didn't she just text me?
"Lareina, come with us to Germany. Nanna Lina told me again what your parents did to you. You don't deserve that, bitch. Meet you at 8:00pm behind your house," I read the letter.
I crumpled up the paper and nervousness began to creep into my system. Shall I go with Crish? What will I do? I am very nervous now because my decision is controversial.
I know that if I stay, dad will kill me because of his anger. And if I leave, he will kill me anyway.
What should I do? Am I going to run away with Crish?
