WARNING! HUSBAND CHEATING, MURDER, NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND  RAPE.

-Mrs. Cornella POV.

I was birthed and raised in an external family of a noble. I was 3 years old when the first time I held a gold coin. It was shiny, strong and beautiful, given by a strong, kind and gentle Count. I already fell in love from the first sight, with the gold coin of course.

Being raised in a noble family is stuffy, boring and detained, and I'm a lady for sure I'll not have a happy ending. I couldn't get what I want since we are from poor noble family.

And like I expected, I became a bride for a wealthier man than we are. I didn't relied on anything like gods or men, because I'll do better than them. I knew thinking  like that is ridiculus, because they are in higher position than women, but they dont give a fuck for any of my problems, I have to solve it all by myself, especially when I got pregnant and my husband got in an affair with a higher noble lady and got executed right away they got caught. I want to thank the guy who killed my ex husband anyway. But still, my and my child's life goes on and each day became harder to live at, but still bearable.

And then a huge crisis happened to me. I was working and got out late, way on my home when a man grabbed me from behind and violated me, there serial killer roaming around killing women after raping them.

I got scared and disgusted everytime he touched me. And for the first time I cried for help from anyone. Gods, men, but nothing appeared. I lost hope. I'm going to die. I felt so weak, helpless and near death. 

If I die who would take care of my child? Who could take a great care like I do to my child? 

My child?! What about my child?! HE'S STILL A BABY! MY CHILD! WHO'LL RAISE MY CHILD?! WHO WILL?! EVERYONE TURNED THEIR BACKS AT ME WHEN I GOT WIDOWED! THEY BETRAYED ME BUT I'M STILL BEING BLAMED! WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!

MY CHILD, MY SWEET CHILD, ARE YOU CRYING RIGHT NOW? ARE YOU HUNGRY? DO YOU FEEL SAFE?

I lost it all, I admit defeat. I am a woman. A weak and fragile creature, created for breeding, obeying men, raising children, forgetting ourselves. 

And then I saw blood on me, flowing from the man on top of me and a shiny tip of blade in his head.

"A bit of late, but on the rescue, on service! Kanya!" a woman thrusted out the blade while introducing herself.

Even though late, she saved me, I admit, I'm very grateful I survived .

Kanya and I became friends, she helped me heal and healed my heart. I didn't know a young woman like her could kill a man way bigger than her. She's strong, charming, beautiful and independent. Living her life on sloth is her favorite phrase and dream, I do wish she could get it. 

And then I found out, I got pregnant. The man is killed and the officers retrieved the body. I already have a child and my life became harder and more hard when I got a trauma, I barely got my job back. How can I raise a child?

"Abort it" the prostitute showed her sympathy to me

HOW COULD I?! THIS CHILD IS INNOCENT! HOW COULD I?! I DONT WANT TO KILL EVEN MY LATE HUSBAND AND THE RAPIST. I CANT KILL! EVEN THIS SMALL CREATURE INSIDE ME.

"YOU DISGUSTING KILLER! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO AN INNOCENT BEING!" I was enraged and beat the hell out of the prostitute.

The aftermath of course, I lost my job. The prostitute filed a compliant against me and got my image ruined.

How do I live in this life? I asked everyday I woke up

Then one day, I was called by my parents.

"Mellissa, you're still young, there is a nobleman who is asking for your hand in marriage"
