"Why is this happening," sabi ni Mom, natatakot, hindi alam kung kailan uli sila aatake.
"I told you not to go to that party!" narinig kong sigaw ni Dad kay Mom "we just got attacked on the night before and then you are going to attend a stupid party of some nobody?!"
"I did it to make an appearance!" sagot ni Mom making me sigh and look at my phone, strangely enough, even though we almost got killed, I am very calm and could look through it logically.
It must be because I no longer feel belong to this family because of what happened three years ago when I was thirteen and got raped by this man, he even got me pregnant but was forced to abort the child.
'Yeah, it must be it,' sabi ko sa isipan 'I wish he died,' dugtong ko sa isipan as I stare at my twin sister, Nicola, crying beside me due to the shock we experienced.
"From now on, everyone cannot leave the house without permission," sabi ng step-father ko.
"What?! What about our studies?" tanong ko.
"There are online classes," sabi niya "don't you value your own life?"
'From the moment you raped me? In fact, I no longer value my life,' sabi ko sa isipan 'I wonder if this will happen if we stayed with Dad, in fact, I wonder how he is now, he stopped messaging us nor calling us after we told him to stop, if I go to him, he must be thrilled, should I run away with Nicola and go back to that mansion? Does he still live there anyway.'
"That's it, from now on, no one leaves the house without permission," sabi ni step-father "now go back to your rooms," sabi niya making me sigh and led my twin to her room before going to mine, starting up my computer, I then surfed the net, checking the news, opening my social media account amd chanced upon a post of someone I lost contact with.
"Friend ko pa pala siya, she rarely post things so I didn't know," sabi ko "hmm... what a handsome man, swerte naman ni Sam, should I contact her and ask about Dad?" tanong ko sa sarili ang decided to message her and waited for her reply.
'Right, she is in a room, they must be having some fun,' sabi ko sa isipan before sighing and went down to get myself a drink before checking my twin.
I was about to knock on her door but I stopped when I heard a familliar voice inside her room, scared at the thought that come in my mind, I placed my ear on the door to eavesdrop, shivering, scared at what I may hear.
"What, you're going to resist? After all the things we did, after getting abortions for five times? Should I go to your twin then?" narinig kong sabi ng step-father.
"N-no, leave Rhian out of this," narinig kong natatakot na sabi ni Nicola making me grind my teeth, for what I feared came true, but I can't act right away, I need to plan so we can escape from this hell hole.

——SAMANTHA FORTUNA SANTOS' POV——
"What a joyful day," sabi ko after going back to my room after breakfast, opening my socmed account, I saw a message from Rhian, my childhood friend, its a simple hey, but I still felt anger on what they did so I blocked her off.
After that, I then went and talked to my other girl friends, I got teased by them with a video clip of me clinging to him which embarrassed me greatly, since I am not drunk that time, just acting, his flustered helpless expression is quite cute though, makes me want to see more of it.
"Should I ask Mom on what to do after?" sabi ko at agad na tumayo to ask my mother.
