On the night of October 23rd, her life shatters.
A seven-year-old girl wakes in silence, her body broken and her spirit trembling.
With nothing but pain and moon to guide her, she escapes into the darkness, bleeding, barefoot, and alone.
Under a pal...
Her father was also overjoyed, and everything seemed perfect until her parents disagreed on something again, and now Nessley was not the same as she was back then; she had changed. She started arguing about everything and giving straightforward answers, but this change did nothing; she still got beaten.
Unfortunately, her father's temper flared up on some nonsense topic, and he started beating Nessley as usual.
Nessley left home to escape the violence that was their every-month routine.
On February 24, 1999, Noah, her little brother, three years younger than her, was born. With his stunning yellow eyes and golden locks, he was rich in health and a very humble boy.
"Thankfully, he was born healthy and strong," his father said after seeing the boy.

Flora also loved him dearly; she was happy to see her younger brother. She played with him all the time, and her father's behaviour towards her changed. He didn't see her, didn't scold or beat her; he started neglecting her existence and played with his boy every evening after work.
Nessley also felt relief after the boy Noah was born.
Harry and Nessley did fight, argue, and debate often; this was the way of their life, and she knew it was never going to change. A year later, she discovered she was getting another brother soon; she was happy.
She sat in front of the window, her crying spot and her only favourite place to hide and cry in the whole house. She had been scolded, and as per routine, she was sitting there to cry, but then she thought now she shouldn't be scolded because now there were two brothers, and her father was busier and ignored her more. She wiped her tears and started staring at the outside world through that window.

On November 06, 2001, her second brother arrived, Solace, which means 'peace'. He was a cute baby boy with cinnamon-coloured skin, black hair, and striking black eyes.
Things went on as their routine, and Flora thought her father was really ignoring her, which was a good thing for her. He beat her often, but he was busier with his boys, and week after week, he didn't even see her once in weeks and sometimes months.
On October 22nd, Nessley took her little brothers with her and went to her parents' house because Harry beat her again, leaving Flora at home.
After Harry saw Nessley leave, he saw Flora. He wanted to beat her badly. He was coming toward her; she started getting scared, but he stopped for a moment and looked at her from head to toe. She knew what was coming, but she knew it was going to change this time.
"What are you doing? Don't worry; she will be back soon," he said in a harsh voice. But yet these were the very first comforting words from that stone heart. She listened for the very first time; she started crying, and he patted her head, saying, "Don't worry; you will go to her and convince her to be here, and I'll never beat her, okay?"
She listened to his words carefully, but unfortunately, she was not at an age to understand the difference between good and bad. All she saw was that her father was telling her to bring back her mom, and to her, he was a good man, and she was happy. She didn't have enough brainpower to process the intentions of humans. She was a kid who was happy with her mom, even though her mom didn't want to be close with her daughter, but Flora never felt she disagreed with her mother. Her tiny mind thought there was something she did wrong and her mother was angry.

She was happy with her father's statement, and she agreed with it. He was leaving the room and suddenly stopped at the door. He looked at her again for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you need anything for your school? We will grab it tomorrow on the way when we go to pick up your mom."
