Chapter 1

I was burning up while preparing dinner, I want the best for him. The best thing i could ever give as his wife even if there is nothing left of me.

Even in the chaotic world I came from, I still learned to love more than I could give.

More than myself.

I heard his car parked in the garage so I quickly went to the living room to greet him with a kiss.

"Seigneur.." I greeted my husband with a smile.

"Babe!" The woman shouted while carrying the expensive paper bags.

It was obviously from the mall and my husband took it for a walk.

"Yes, hurry up." He ignored me and helped the woman carry her things.

I just bowed and went to the kitchen while talking.

"Dinner is ready." I contained my tears, no I shouldn't cry here.

Not in front of him.

He just looked at me coldly and asked Lian to sit down. He still supported it and peeled the meat.

He takes good care of her, something he never did to me.

"Babe, I want juice." Lian asked and my husband quickly took a pitcher and poured it into a glass.

I was about to turn away, I can't contain my tears anymore. The scene is breaking my heart.

"Stay here Cecelia! Suffer! Does it feel good?!" My scornful husband hums like he's overjoyed to see me struggling.

I held tightly to my hand that was burning because of cooking.

I'm used to this, it shouldn't hurt like this anymore. But it seems like every day it gets worse and worse as if I will be swallowed by so much sadness.

I even heard the two of them laughing while happily eating.

I haven't eaten yet.

My stomach hurt but I just endured it. I'll eat bread later.

"Fix our room, you and Lian can sleep there, sleep on the sofa first." He even held Lian's hand while saying this.

I just bowed and went to my husband's room.

As soon as I was at the door, I started to cry but I just wiped it away and started to move away.

"Cecelia, it's me..." I looked at Nana Loling.

He suddenly hugged me and caressed my back so I couldn't control my emotions anymore.

"Stop..." He comforted me so I felt a little better.

"Thank you..." I told him and we started to make arrangements.

She witnessed everything, everything that happened in this house, my husband's belittling and hurting me.

Well, I deserve this. I guess this is the result of all the sacrifices I made.

You can't really cover a mistake with another mistake, the payoff is greater.

Nanny went out and I was the only one left, I was about to walk out when Seigneur and Lian arrived.

I just bowed and was about to leave when Seigneur stopped me.

"Watch." He grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. I groaned at the pain of my scalp but I don't think anything would hurt more than the soft and fragile diamond scene if Seigneur treated his partner more than my wife.

He's making love with her and he never made love with me. If there is, it is only because of lust.

"She's a virgin unlike you! Any man who hits on you has already been used!" The husband's speech while inserting his penis into the woman.

Lian was moan!ng and it ripped my heart into pieces. Gathering all my might, I ran out of the house while crying and crushed.

Despite the fact that he repeatedly bullied me, I still love him. Despite all the pain, I still can't leave him.

I went to the garden and lay down on the grass. My heart sank and I just wanted to cry. It's like this, I'm not used to it.

"Yes, I'm no longer v!rg!n when we first..." I whispered to myself while sobbing.

You don't know anything...you don't know everything..

I thought my life would change when you came, I thought the weight I was carrying would be reduced, I thought you would save me from the nightmare I was trying to escape from.

I bit my lower lip, I feel like I'm going to run out of breath because of that.

It's here again...

My anxiety...

All the memories, all the piggish and hurtful words come back to my mind. I held my chest because of the intense pain I felt, I can no longer take it.

"My God! Cecelia, you're bleeding!" I just heard Nana Loling scream before I passed out.

Flashback

I feel that I have been deprived of happiness in this world. Bitterness and pain always, how long will I be like this.

"D-dad!" Only my moans and cries can be heard in the four corners of the room.

"Ghhmm..." My own father is moaning as he reached his cl!max, maybe he's already satisfied with his anmila to me.

My heart almost broke, I was crushed and disgusted with myself. My tears fell one after the other as I looked at the ceiling of my own room. A place that was supposed to be my refuge and resting place but I can't see any good memories but pain, brokenness and hatred.

He slapped my cheek and I could feel the pain.

Full of hatred I looked at my acknowledged father, the first man who would have protected me and be my support but he was the first to destroy my entire humanity.

He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me so I fell onto my own bed, feeling like my back was broken because of that.

He slapped me again so that the corner of my lips bled.

"I told you, didn't I? Fix it if you don't want your mother to kill you." I closed my eyes when I heard, my tears flowed again. My body is numb because of what he did.

I looked at him, pleading. I don't know if he loved Mommy or me or even considered us family.

"I'm s-sorry D-dad.." He tightened his grip on my hair and choked me.

"You don't have a s!lb¡ ! You're inul! What I'm asking you to do is so easy, just get better at that Leicestershire but you haven't done it yet!" His voice echoed in the four corners of the room and he strangled me even more. I feel like I'm going to suffocate because of that.

Mommy attended me while whimpering and trying to stop Daddy's hands that were choking me.

Daddy elbowed Mommy so she was holding her stomach because of the pain. I got out of Daddy's stranglehold using my remaining strength and I succeeded and attended to Mommy right away, I feel my body is numb but I can't bear to see my mother in pain.

"You're fat! It's useless to be sloppy! Fix it, seduce Seigneur Abreo Leicestershire! Do anything and everything, even if you sell your soul and body to him, I don't care. If I lose the election I'll kill you both! You understand!" His eyes were glazed over, he even stomped on me so that I moaned.

My vision is blurry, my whole body is hurting, but the pain caused by hating the man is more dominant, which is why my mother and I are suffering.

I just felt Mommy caressing my face and the successive drops of her tears accompanied by soft sobs.

"Stay, Mommy, I promise you...I promise that we will also be free from him...that day will come...I promise.." I was crying and hugging Mommy, it seems that there is no more it will hurt even more to see him struggling.

She's been through a lot, the scene has been like this since I was a child.

When I turned 7 years old, I was raped by my own father, repeatedly hurt when I made a mistake. He controls my life, I can't do anything, he is powerful and looked up to so I have nothing against him.

I wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. Putting concealers to hide everything, to hide those bruises especially the marks of his kiss.

I was disgusted with myself, I just wanted to take a knife and if possible, cut the parts that his lips touched.

I was dressed again as if nothing lewd and nothing profanity had happened.

Mommy quietly helped me put on the gown that Daddy was making me wear. I don't know if he still deserves to be called father despite all the things he did to me and Mommy.

My mommy was quiet as if she was deep in thought, but when she looked at me, she tried to smile.

"Everything will be fine Mommy, I promise." I don't know where I got the courage to be positive even though I know there is no hope for our life to be okay.

Mommy just nodded and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

I fixed it quickly because I don't want Daddy to get angry again and he can blame us again. I accept that I am the one he will pity but I can't bear to see my mother in pain.

She's to precious to me, the only person who made me feel loved and accepted in spite of everything and because of so much insult and trauma, mommy could no longer speak and became mute.

She can no longer handle it emotionally and if it wasn't for me, she might have ended her life a long time ago or might not have escaped from my father's mess.

I got into the car and found my personal driver there. Yes, I look very stylish and very rich from the outside. Everyone looks up to me because I was the only daughter of Mayor Amolo Leona and not because I am Cecelia.

Because of my father's name that is attached to me, many respect and have sympathy.

We quickly left the mansion, I was silent and depressed. I don't know how I manage to be so good despite everything, I'm already very good at this field.

Hypocrisy in front of the majority.

When I got there, I went down, I was wearing a black dress that was almost close to my body. It's a tube and my rich breasts are very visible, when I bend down I can see that I'm too short. It exposes my curves, especially my plump butt and my beautiful curves. I'm shrinking myself but there's nothing I can do, I'd rather be like this than get beaten up by Mommy.

I uncomfortably entered. All the cameras were focused on me, the others were there and you could see the obscenity in your eyes. I just sped up to walk even though I almost tripped because my shoes had very high heels.

When I got inside, my eyes looked for Daddy, he was talking to his fellow politicians and others who were famous and big businessmen.

Chapter 2

I went to where he was because I saw the sharpness of his gaze on me. I sat next to him and he immediately made me sit in the empty seat as if he cared for me.

He introduced me to them so as a good son I smiled as if I really wanted to talk to them.

Very flat, everything is a lie.

Acting like a caring father to his only daughter for public image.

"You really love your beautiful unica ija Amolo!" Senator Livico still laughed but he was looking at my breasts.

They are all perverts, acting good in front of everyone but a total demon behind closed doors.

"Of course mate, I'll take care of my son." Daddy smiled before telling me to leave because they had something to talk about.

It's good because their presence is nauseating and repulsive.

I know Daddy didn't send me away because he was just on a trip, he wants to start the plan.

I sighed and gathered all my strength to look around and in the middle of the crowd I found him, he's sitting alone while drinking a glass of wine.

Wearing my flirty aura i managed to walk with grace and when i got the chance i suddenly sat on his lap but i was shocked when he dragged me and uttered something.

"Get off, give yourself a little shame

I woke up shaking and sweating profusely.

Dream!

Is that just a dream?!

Memories of the past are coming back to me.

First of all Seigneur really doesn't like me anymore, I'm just a fool forcing myself.

Ever since we first met, I could see the disgust in his eyes, I can't blame him either.

I leaned over and realized that there was dextrose on me. I just wiped my tears and looked around the room.

I was in the hospital because the white ceiling and those attached to me as well as the smell opened up to me.

"Where is Nana Loling?" I asked myself and slowly sat up, feeling my body hurt and still shaking.

I just went, even in this state Seigneur was still not worried. I'm used to it, even if I die, he doesn't care.

I was about to remove the dextrose stuck to my hand when Nana Loling came.

"Jusko! Cecelia, rest first." He quickly laid me on the bed.

I noticed the bags he was carrying, obviously he passed by the market before heading here.

"I just took your clothes, I also brought you some fruits that I bought at the orchard." Smiling and friendly, Nana Loling peeled an apple for me.

"Nana, isn't the Seigneur worried about a-me?" Yes, I'm very delusional, just taking a chance that even if our marriage is not good, somehow and even as a person he will show sympathy to me.

Why should he worry about me? Actually, even I can't answer it because there is no reason. I just wiped the tears that spontaneously fell from my eyes.

"Right? This is your favorite apple? Here." I knew he was changing the subject so I forced myself to smile at him and accepted the apple he handed to me.

"Thank you Nana Loling.." I just replied and frowned, I don't want to cry in front of him, the old man will surely worry.

Of all the people I met, Nana Loling was the only one who cared about me when I arrived at Seigneur's house.

Nana Loling has been serving Seigneur for a long time since he was young and she is the one who takes care of him. At first, Nana was also nice to me, we only got along when it came to cooking until the two of us got along so well that she treated me like a child.

"I don't know what's going on with that boy, he's not like he used to be." He was telling me stories while he was peeling onions for our lunch. "This is a kind and obedient boy, he is not cruel and not bad to deal with but I don't know what is happening to him, maybe there is a reason why his heart is so hard." It's a litany while I just listen to him.

I was deep in thought while remembering our conversation with Nana when she suddenly spoke so I looked at her.

"By the way, Cecelia, the doctor is taking care of you. You are pregnant." He smiled kindly at me and held my hands.

The tears I had been holding back and trying to hold back started to fall.

The tears I had been holding back and trying to hold back started to fall.

"am I pregnant?" I will ask again.

Nana Loling nodded and spoke. "Yes, you are three weeks pregnant according to the doctor who examined you!" He immediately hugged me and stroked my back.

I cried again, I was happy even though something ran in my heart. All of my thoughts were thrown into disarray and a statue, mixed with emotions. I don't know if I'll be happy or sad because of my situation but I'm happy that my love for him paid off even though he could only give me cruelty and hatred.

Will he be happy when he finds out I'm pregnant? I don't know the answer, just now and I feel like I'm about to swallow my own tongue with excitement.

"We will tell the Seigneur!" Nana Loling's happy attitude.

"Don't worry, Nana, it's just us." Every word I say is weak. "I don't want him to know, I'm afraid for my son."

Maybe he will hate me even more and won't accept our baby, that will hurt more.

Seeing his father disowning my son.

Baby, don't worry, Mommy is here, she won't leave you.

"I understand Cecelia, I'm happy and I'm only here for you two..." Nana hugged me, somehow I felt relieved.

I better keep it from him, I know he won't be happy.

A few days later I was discharged. My condition is fine, so Nana Loling and I went home. I felt sorry for him going back and forth, especially since he was still working at home. Nana is old but her body is still strong, but even so I am still worried about her.

We arrived at the house where Seigneur was in the kitchen and sitting at the table.

"It's time for you to go home! Cook!" He shouted at me and broke the plate on his table.

Nana Loling was startled so I smiled at her to convey that I will take care of it. I quietly went straight to the kitchen and washed my hands. I cooked his favorite pickled dish. I feel like I'm still weak, maybe it's because my body hasn't recovered much, but I can do it.

I just ignored my feelings because I didn't want to make Seigneur angry again. It's better if I just follow him and he might hurt me and harm my child.

I just sat on the side and waited for him to finish eating. I put away what he had eaten without saying a word, I saw that he straightened up and then stood up and spoke.

"Clean my room, wash my clothes too. Stretch a bone, it will be useless for a few days." He ordered coldly then got up and went to the living room.

I just smiled at him and went to wash his food while holding back tears.

I just turned on the faucet so he wouldn't hear my sobs.

After I washed the dishes, I also put away what I put aside earlier, I gently put it in plastic and wrapped it in old clothes before putting it in the trash. It's hard and the garbage picker might get hurt just in case, then I went inside. I sadly arranged the pillow on the sofa, it was a bit cold so I just snuggled up to myself.

I'm okay now that I'm out here, away from Seigneur, away from someone who can hurt me and my baby.

I looked at the ceiling of the room while listening to the noise outside, many farting. They are very happy, the family is together and whole and will welcome the new year together.

Like at Christmas we were the only quiet house in this village. Always, even last Christmas. I decided to stand up and went to the fridge, I took the small cupcake that was there.

"11:30." I smiled and rubbed my stomach. "I promise my son, I will give you a beautiful and happy life, we will experience a happy Christmas even if it's just the two of us." I whispered to myself.

"Cecelia..." I turned around to see nana Loling, she was carrying a gift.

"I'm sorry I just gave it now." He was smiling at me and stroking my hair.

"it's my first time to receive a gift...m-thank you so much..." I admitted to him.

We never celebrated things like this, it's just that daddy is always busy at work and when he comes home, it's just pain and abuse.

Christmas is just a nightmare for me.

"Hey, don't be sad, it's bad for the baby." He comforted me.

Somehow I felt better when nana Loling started telling stories about her experiences since she was a child and how they used to celebrate Christmas.

"W-why is Christmas celebrated?" All my life I was curious why, I also don't know why I didn't have the chance to experience this in my youth.

Nana Loling smiled at me and gently caressed my hand that was resting on the table.

"You know, ija, the most important reason why Christmas is celebrated is that it is the day of the birth of our Savior Jesus. It is only appropriate to take time and fully appreciate Christmas day, it is also the day that unites everyone, helping each other, giving, getting together and eating together while looking back on the happy moments of their lives."

She explained it carefully in a way I could understand but there's one thing that struck me.

"Is Jesus real?" I just asked.

I didn't believe in God and his existence, because if he is real why is my life like this? Why is this difficult and painful? If he is true and loving why did he let me get hurt and end up in this situation?

You thought nana Loling would be angry with me but she just hugged me.

"Despite everything, he loves you very much and I'm sure you'll find him in your heart too." Words he said before he left me in the kitchen.

I don't know why my chest just got tight.

I'm very dirty, I've done inappropriate things, the people I love don't even love me and just abuse me.

Can God still love me despite everything?

To Be Continued...

Chapter 3

If he is true, I only ask him for one thing, that he protect my son and don't let him lose me because this is the only reason why I will continue.

"Cecelia! Bring me water to my room!" I heard the Seigneur's stern voice calling me.

I just closed my eyes and sincerely prayed that he would not hurt me...my son and I.

I was about to turn away when he suddenly grabbed my hand tightly.

"S-Seigneur..." I stammered because of his earnest eyes.

"I don't want to jerk, swallow my dick." He spoke so authoritatively that I bit my lip and tried not to cry. I shrunk myself, i was violated again by the man i love.

"B-but..." I protested, containing myself not to breakdown.

"You have no right to say no, this is what you want, right? You are good at this, show me what you got!" He grabbed my hair and touched my face.

"W-why are you doing this to me?" I don't wanna cry, if I cry he will only hurt me more so I stop myself.

My anxiety is attacking me again, this is the feeling I had when my own father was hurting and beating me. Feel like you're drowning in a deadly emotion that you can't resist.

"You don't deserve to be happy so now I'm going to make you feel what you should feel. You want hell, then I'll give it to you!" He spoke and crushed my face as he stood.

He was forcing me to do it so I had no choice, I had no other choice.

I don't want him to hurt me, my son... I have to do everything for him.

I followed what he told me, i give him what he wants and when he's satisfied he also let me out of the room. I just leaned against the back of the door after I closed it, disgusted with myself and full of pout in my heart.

I went to the bathroom to clean myself. There I poured out my tears that I had been holding back, shaking and cleaning myself.

I was molested and treated like trash again, but this time it's no longer my father it's the father of the baby inside my womb.

I spend the night anxious, I feel like my heart is being broken over and over again.

In the morning I still couldn't sleep, even though I was weak I chose to go to the market. There were only a few groceries at home, I also felt sorry for nana Loling so I just volunteered.

Even though he didn't want to agree, he didn't do anything because I insisted, I still didn't have the courage to see Seigneur after what happened. I don't know where I will find the courage to not be hurt by whatever hurtful words he throws at me or the things he makes me do that are against my heart. Yes, and we're married, it's my duty to fulfill his needs in bed but not in a way that's against me, especially what he did to me last night. I just shrink from myself when I remember that. I need to calm down so he doesn't hurt me because I have nowhere to go if he kicks me out for good.

"Ma'am Cecelia, where are you?" Manong Edo asked me.

I just smiled at him, I didn't want Seigneur to scold him.

"Don't drive me, I'll just take a jeep." I fixed my bag then waved at him.

He didn't do anything either, he knew Seigneur would scold him, he did it once and I don't want manong Edo to be fired from his job especially since he has a family to support. Just because he took me to the market, the man almost lost his job, Seigneur didn't want me to be struggling so he would be angry with the things that would make my life easier.

I arrived at the market safely. Wearing my favorite blue dress, I entered the grocery store that I always go to. I looked at the couple happily shopping together. I put that out of my mind and continued shopping.

"Isn't it? That's him? The Mayor's naughty son?" I heard whispers on my side so I bowed and left that section.

I just went to the canned goods and noodles stall. Everywhere their eyes are really warm to me.

"You're here..." I was shocked when someone spoke beside me. He's holding a bag of marshmallows.

Marshmallows again?

He was smiling at me as if I was so funny in his eyes that he couldn't take his eyes off.

"Come on, Acadia." He smiled showing his perfect set of teeth and handed me a bag of gummy worms.

"Shut up, Roltaier!" I just winced, De Guiea and his childish acts.

"Ice Cream? I'm free." He raised his eyebrows at me.

It was like there were so many stars around him and I quickly said yes. I just saw myself sitting while smiling and waiting for the fresh man.

I just stared at him in the distance, Crescent Roltaier De Guiea. The girl who will fall in love with this guy is very lucky, but because of politics, her world is also surrounded by violence and dirt.

"Oh you're stupid again Acadia, it's a good thing I know what's in your brain..." I bit my lip and seemed to be deaf to what he was saying.

"When did you come from Korea?" I asked him.

"Just last month, I had a condo near here. Do you come here often?" he asked back to me.

"Yes, when I go shopping here I'm lazy." I quickly scooped up and took a bite.

Hey, it's delicious!

"How are you and Seigneur?" He asked teasingly even though he was worried.

"It's fine..." I answered weakly and I just focused on taking a bite.

"Is it really okay?" He meaningfully asked me again before smiling. He must have felt that I didn't want to talk about it so he changed the subject and started talking.

This one feels good, right? I guess my hormones are playing gracefully because I feel like I'm going crazy if I don't taste the ice cream on the table so I didn't even pay attention to the Roltaier grass.

"That's Magnum classic, I know it's your favorite." He had no appetite and began to take a bite. I tearfully felt every bite of it as if I was being cradled in a cloud.

I just ate quietly and it was obvious that he was enjoying watching me. We also talked about his antics in Korea, as usual he will show me his expertise in the field of women after that he accompanied me to the counter and he was the one who lifted my heavy purchases while still babbling chattering as if never getting tired.

He offered to take me so I agreed. I don't want to commute because it will be difficult for me to carry all this and be crowded in the jeep.

I just drove a few feet to the mansion, he insisted but I refused. I don't want Seigneur to think anything bad about my youth, it's hard to have him involved in my chaotic life.

"Take care of yourself, you look like a stick Acadia. You can avoid it." He even laughed at me while waving with a teasing look.

I smiled as I watched his car leave, I missed him too except for his antics and his malfunctioning brain. We also didn't see each other for a long time after he migrated to another country.

I just took a deep breath and decided to go inside the house carrying my purchases, even though I was struggling I was able to carry everything. I keep stopping when I feel like my hands are shaking, I'm also a little short of air, I don't know, I'm not like this so I don't push anymore.

I was about to enter the house when someone slapped me hard so all my belongings fell.

"How dare you stay in this house?" She's in rage, her face also darkens.

"Madam M-Maurine..." I was holding my face because of that, it was painful because of his slap. I looked at him, I was in shock because of what he did.

"Stop it mom." I looked at Seigneur who was approaching us.

He grabbed both of Madam Maurine's arms who were now seething with anger.

"How dare you let your father's equipment live in your house?!" He spoke trembling and tears gradually fell.

I was shocked to hear, Madam Maurine pushed me so that I fell down, then she tweaked and slapped me.

My face was numb and bleeding from the scratches but the hatred in my heart prevailed and the fact that Seigneur was only looking at me while his mother insulted me.

He didn't even defend me, I smiled bitterly and wiped my bleeding lips.

It's okay, I know they wouldn't understand me though, even if I defend myself, they don't know what's really going on.

"M-Madam that's right!" I heard Nana Loling's scream, I just felt her scratches, kicks and punches but I was protecting my stomach. I don't care if my head hurts or anywhere else as long as he doesn't hit my stomach.

My vision is getting blurry, I feel like I'm spinning around. Rubbing my whole body, I felt Madam Maurine's step on my side which I did not expect.

"You bitch! Fight! You are a put@ and you never have the right to live! You are wrong! Snake! Butterfly!" All the words that I never wanted to hear he said to me like I was a dog.

I wailed, pleading and begging even in a low voice.

"You have no shame! You are such a pig!" He slapped me more and tweaked me.

I don't want to fight, Seigneur will be angry with me. I don't want her to get angry and hurt Madam Maurine, she won't be able to forgive me.

I heard Nana Loling's whining in the back and her running towards me. Madam Maurine was stunned and turned pale.

"Oh my God!" Nana shouted and attended me.

"N-Nana...my stomach hurts...." I stammered shakily, as if my heart was being crushed and my tears began to fall.
