SNEEK PEAK MY BOOTY CHEEKIESSSSSSS
'A Trip Down Trauma Lane.'
~~~Sienna's POV~~~
She wasn't there anymore.
Not in Matteo’s office.
Not in her body.
Not in the present.
She was drowning, sinking into a place she never wanted to go back to.
She was thirteen.
Alone.
Vulnerable.
Desperate for love.
Her aunts sat her down in front of that huge, ornate mirror in their dressing room. They looked so perfect. So elegant. They smelled like wealth and power. Their cold hands ran through her tangled curls, pretending to care, pretending to fix her.
"You want to be like your brothers, don’t you?" one cooed, adjusting her diamond bracelet.
"You want them to love you?" another asked, powdering her nose, pinching her cheeks.
"Then you need to be strong. Strong like them."
"You’re overweight, Sienna. Your brothers will never respect a sister who can’t even respect her own body."
Her breath hitched.
"You eat too much."
"You don’t train hard enough."
"No wonder they treat you like a burden."
Sienna’s stomach churned, shame wrapping around her throat like a noose. She wanted to be strong. She wanted them to love her.
"No more breakfast. No more lunch. You train. You work until you collapse. Then you get back up and do it again."
"No one will respect a weak little girl who passes out all the time."
"Suck it up."
Sienna believed them.
She woke up earlier than her brothers, pushed her body until it gave out, forced herself to stay upright when the dizziness hit, ignored the black spots in her vision.
She stopped eating.
Her stomach ached constantly.
But when she looked in the mirror, she didn’t see results.
She only saw failure.
