I wish I knew what to say other than thank you because it doesn't feel even remotely enough... But I don't.....
So thank you so so so so so so so much from the depths of my heart for the reads, comments & votes....
I never imagined MY words would be read by so many people... And I couldn't be more grateful....
I know the book has been on hold for a while.... that's only because there's been a few unforseen life changes I had to adapt to and I still can't promise an update schedule but I do intend to update more consistently so please bear with me....
I'm not sure this chapter makes up for the time passed but I do hope you enjoy.... 💕
The tiny little asain lady put down the tray of food and walked toward me.
She stood there wide eyed staring at me for waaaay to long, looking completely astonished and petrified.
I felt beyond awkward standing in front of her gripping my towel having no idea what was happening.
She took my hands in hers.....
"Pheobe...." , She said softly.
My face got red with annoyance .
Who the hell was pheobe ?
I scoffed and harshly pulled my hands away from hers.
"Look lady. You're confusing me with someone else and I'm just - i'm just not in the mood for all this crazy talk so please just leave me al-"
I almost got to finish before I felt her hand connect with my face.
Blood rushed to my cheeks as my face rung with pain....
I felt dizzy and suddenly my mind was flooded with an unpleasant memory of continuously and brutally being slapped by random different people whom faces I couldn't place.
"Why - why'd you do that?" ,I croaked out still confused.
"I'm sorry pheobe... I just want you remember" , she cried
"Remember what?" I asked screaming at her.
I knew there was something to remember but I couldn't. I wanted so badly to recall whatever it was that was missing but it was hopeless...
Nothing came back.
"I can't... " I croaked out frustrated.
Maya, visibly frustrated too grabbed my hand and led me to the full size mirror in the corner of the room....
I stood there looking at myself ....
The person looking back at me in the mirror was a stranger...
I realised in that moment... I didn't know who I was.
She grabbed my towel and let it drop the the floor.
Instinctively I tried to cover my naked body but as I caught a glimpse of my bruised torso, i froze.
My breath was caught in my throat as I scanned my heavily scarred body.
I closed my eyes and suddenly a series of heartbreaking memories flashed through my mind and I remembered.... I remembered the abuse and the rape.
I gasped for air as my own cries echoed in my head and images of the men on top of me.... violating me.... RAPING me, being dragged down those god awful stairs time and time again flashed though my fragile mind.
The abuse i ebdured. The slaps and kicks.
I was raped and abused in every god damned way possible. Mentally, physically.... emotionally....
They tears in my eyes spilled onto my face and I almost couldn't catch my breath.
My entire world was spinning and my weakened knees was about to give out on me as Maya caught me.
My broken jaw hurt as I cried into her arms.
