"Sooner or later, it ends in goodbye. We all have to break away. "

From breakaway by Ella Cummings feat Sarah swire.

Melody POV

When I woke up, I could not move as my hands and feet were tied together. I was laying on the ground and when I looked around me, I figured I was in a basement. The room was dark and the only light that penetrated the room was the sun through a small window.

"Hope, " I shouted for my daughter because I couldn't see her anywhere. "Hope," I cried out.

"It no use," I heard a voice say from the opposite room. It was a woman but her back was facing me so I couldn't see her face. Her feet and hands were also tied together but she looked comfortable.

"Where is my daughter?" I shouted.

"She is fine," she replied calmly.

"Who are you?" I asked her.

"You can't tell?" She questioned and I shook my head. "I guessed staying here for days really could change my look." The woman turned to face me and I gasped when I saw her. Her green eyes had lost all life in them.

"Marissa," I shouted in disbelief. I didn't expect her to be in a basement. I expected the opposite. The clothing she wore had torn in the chest part revealing her underwear. Her face had lost the sophisticated complexion. She also had a cut on the left side of her cheek. "What happened to you?"

"I guessed it the price I have to pay for my sins" she smiled but behind that smile, I could see that she wasn't happy.

"Why is he doing this? I thought you loved each other."

"Love?" She scoffed and shook her head. "I don't love that monster. A monster like him has no feelings."

"What about my daughter?" I panicked.

"Don't worry, she is fine." She assured me but I didn't trust her words. "I know you probably hate me for all the pains I've caused you. All I can say is that I am sorry," she apologized.

I couldn't believe my hearings when Marissa apologized. The Almighty Marissa Aderemi was not so bad after all.

"I pretend to be cruel but I'm not. Beneath this facade, there is a broken woman who has to pretend to be happy when she is not." I stared at her as she tells her story. It was sad that she had to experience all of that but still pretends to be happy.

"I was supposed to marry Benjamin. We were in love and when I got pregnant with Giovanni, I couldn't be happier. " she sniffed.

I didn't realize that she was crying and when I did, I wanted to console her but she needed to let it all out.

"George had always envied his brother and when he heard that we were getting married, he threatened to kill Benjamin if I didn't marry him. I was scared for my baby, myself, and Giovanni. I broke my engagement with Benjamin the next day and got married to him. When he found out that I was pregnant, George was happy that he had everything that was supposed to belong to his brother. He told me he couldn't procreate because he had an accident when he was young but I didn't care about him because he was a monster. " Marissa paused and coughed out.

"We lived as a happy family for two years and I also found out that Benjamin had gotten married a year after George and I got married. I was devastated and cried for days. I thought George had changed for those two years we were together but everything turned around when he found out that his father was handling everything over to his brother. He got angry that day and raised his hands on me. As if that wasn't enough, he began to rape me repeatedly for days and while raping me, he made sure to bite my flesh which always result in scars and more scars."
