Since the moment her mother passed away, he never saw the face of his only child. He was a father who never saw the face of his daughter. He swore to himself he would never look at her even if hell rained down. Her mother's death was very unexpected and no one knew that she would die while in labour. It was a tragic accident. Her father entered hell from heaven in seconds and since then, the centre of his regrets become his daughter. He blamed her for everything. He hated her for existing, for stealing away his beloved wife. He simply hated her guts.
He abandoned her on an island with only a few people living on it. It belonged to him. He had a huge castle-like villa there were only servants and she lived. He send her away the moment he accepted his wife's death and was preparing for her funeral. The first thing he did after getting his senses back was to abandon her.
Such a huge princess castle all empty was scarier than anything else. It wasn't princessy or anything like that but empty, gloomy, lonely and sad.
But this wasn't the whole story. Her tragedy had just begun at that time. Even though her mother died in labour, there weren't any problems with her. She was a very healthy and energetic baby. But when she grew up, from a chubby newborn, she become a skinny 3-month-old child. And when she began to remember things, she was a very weak person.
She was so pitiful that she didn't even know how badly she was being mistreated by servants. Well, when her abandoned father who never looked after her left her in the care of servants without checking it over, it was obvious who would take advantage of it. She was malnutrition.
She was the servant of all. She got beatings and harsh scolding. She was treated like a weak animal who is very annoying for not being useful. She wore torn clothes and she lived in a servant's place. She was living a very bad life without realising it. However, a child is bound to feel empty without their parents. Without a mother.
Then finally, when she was 5 years old, living as poorly as possible, something happened. One day, early in the morning, she was shaken up. There seems to be a rush everywhere. The servants hurriedly took her to her room and roughly ordered her around. They made her take a bath and dress her up in her actual princess clothes which they have given their daughters and dolled her up very beautiful.
Even though she was suffering from malnutrition, even though she was pale and skilly, even though she didn't have the eyes of a sparkling child, she was undeniably and immeasurably beautiful. A god-sent angel. That's what anyone would call her upon seeing her eyes.
And then, at the time of sunset, a loud sound rang in everyone's ears. All the servants went out on the terrace and took her with them as they stood respectively bowing down to the people getting out of the helicopter. The small little girl stood confused but looked in amazement at the helicopter. That man didn't look down or anywhere before walking in. The servants were waiting for him to check out his daughter but he didn't. They were scared shitless that her scars have not yet faded but seeing this they felt a little relieved.
Then at night when it was dinner time, she sat silently as she was ordered. Not doing anything much sitting before the lavish dinner that she saw for the first time. It made her salivate but the fear of pain was stronger than anything. She didn't even dare let her stomach growl out of hunger.
However, she had this locket on her neck since she was young. It look invaluable but was actually worth a billion. It was made very simply with secretive elements which was the best thing about it as no open tried to steal it. It was something very dear to her. It was inseparable from her. It was actually a token of love from her mother. Though she had died, she left it behind for her and it only belonged to her. No one even her father could take it from her.
She suddenly felt like looking over it as she waited. She just felt strangely attached to it and she was feeling the same towards that cold-looking man earlier. So she took it out and wondered about it. In an eerily silent place, she heard the sound of a door opening and that startled her as she dropped the necklace. It rolled down and she ran after it. It stopped at someone's feet and when she looked up, she come eye to eye with that cold man.
As soon as he saw her, a volcano erupted in him. The exact same features as her mother. She looked like a copy of her mother. The only difference was her hair which was of his colour. That didn't make much difference as he was a blonde while his wife had a slightly darker shade of blonde hair.
And that's it. It was a trigger to everything. The little girl subconsciously moved a little closer to him and that's when she felt a strong force hit her. He didn't really hit her but pushed her away which made her fall down and her eyebrow hit the corner of the table.
She bled badly but without ever looking back to check that she had fallen, he left without ever turning back. Along with her dearest possession, her heart, her locket.
She bled so much that she almost died. That man's assistant took her to the hospital and they barely saved her. She was already suffering from malnutrition and didn't have much blood, to begin with. Along with her poor body, she was in a bad condition. But it was still alright. The situation actually got worse when she needed a blood transfusion.
There was no blood collection on that small island. There were already were few people but most of them couldn't give blood for one reason or another. They found one person very difficultly but that person was only able to give a very small amount of blood. In the end, she was really on the verge of dying, and still, her father who was aware of the situation and who shared the same blood as her didn't turn to look at her let alone save her.
But you know what, that was just the beginning of the tragedy in her life...
