                            (JK's POV)
It's the end of the year. I have become the badass of the college. I know it's against my will but I don't have any other option to follow my dreams. Today, my foster parents have been called by the principal because of my attitude and slowing down of scores just as planned. I am so happy as it's going according to our plan and it might work. But there's this unsettled feeling in my stomach which is making me anxious.
                     
                        ( After few hours)

Here I am standing in front of the principal who's vigorously complaining about my attitude. Well, My friends are waiting outside for this drama to end and later on insisting my foster parents to accept my dream. From the corner of my eye , I can see my foster father fuming with anger in his eyes and a look of concern on my foster mother's face ........which is a big shock. I've never seen any sort of concern on her face but now it feared me more.

I was so busy with my thoughts that I didn't feel any force on my hand but when I came back to my senses I was shocked. My foster father was dragging me towards our car, followed by my concerned foster mother and friends.

He forced me to sit inside the car and angrily asked my friends to leave. I've never seen this sort of fear in my friends eyes which made me shiver. Throughout the whole journey to our house, my foster mother held my shivering hands by giving some comfort. I wanted to detach our hands but I can't because it was very much needed.

Finally, after reaching to our mansion , I saw my father storming out of the car followed by my mother asking him to calm down. After taking long breathe for few minutes, I went inside the house making my way towards my room . I halted myself at the sobbing noise and I decided to peek inside the room . What i saw shocked me! I saw my foster father forcing himself on my foster mother to get out his frustration, which formed guilt within me.

I slowly took my footstep back and barged towards my room. Slowly closing my door, I slid in my bed facing the ceiling and tears flowed from my eyes. I wasn't able to think straight. My heart was in pain with guilt and my mind filled with negativity.

I was in same position for next 2 hours blaming my own self for bad doings, but a sudden knock on my door brought me out of my trance. I felt so numb at that moment. I slowly stepped towards the door hoping that it wouldn't be my foster father. To my surprise, unexpected person was standing in front of me. Yess! It was my foster mother Ally, her bruises were quite visible because of the torture. I had so many questions but refused to let it out.

I was so in my mind that I forgot that she was asking permission to enter my room with a sad and understanding smile. As if, she knew all the feelings of frustration, anger, guilt within me. I let her to sit on my bed and sat beside her and she began "well... What you saw today, ...don't feel guilty because it wasn't your mistake."

I tried to retort 'but, it ..." she cut me off and said "Let me finish " , I gave her a nod to continue and stayed silent. She continued, ' so, It wasn't because of you. I am used to such torture for 20 years now....' I could sense regret and anger in her voice and stayed silent , nodding her to continue. She began, 'I...I was forced to marry Dan [name of Jk's foster father] as per the partnership contract between the 2 reputed companies.

I tried to refuse because of my pregnancy but it was in vain. They didn't know that I was pregnant . I had to cover that during the time of marriage. I knew that if the truth was revealed, I would have to abort my child which was a symbol of my love and I could have lost both of them . So, for their sake, I married Dan.

On the night of our marriage, he didn't came to our room because he had some important work to complete. I was extremely happy. Then, Next day , I planned my next step. I fake cried in front of him, asking him to let me be with my friend during her pregnancy, as her husband left her alone in such state. He agreed and made sure it was true. Well, the story was partially true and so our plan flowed easily." She was smiling widely and I sensed the way of happiness within her and somehow, I felt happy too. She continued

'Then, after 7 month, I gave birth to a baby boy who was love of my life whom I would never meet because of Dan . Well, I asked Kay [name of Ally's lover] to take care of our child and raise him with lots of love. Then, I came back to Seoul, to my so-called husband. Dan was so sexually frustrated that he used to force himself on me . It was his everyday routine. I hate his touch but I had to compile so he do not have any doubt of my actions.

One day, he came home frustrated and asked me if I was pregnant or not. Well, I said no, because it was true. He decided to take me to the clinic. I was afraid of the truth to be out and I contained myself to be positive. Doctor took a few tests and came with results saying that I won't be able to consume any child due to some weakness and allergy. I was beyond happy but faked cry and Dan was beyond angry. From that day , he used to abuse me in every way. My life was hell till the day... '

She looked towards me and smiled and I knew which day she was talking about but I didn't know "why ? .a smile?. Well, every moment I remember they never loved me and used to be busy in their own life. Just their money provided me my needs ,then why?
