Loreen furiously shook her head at the doctor standing in front of her, "Yo-you're lying," Little bubbles of tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled in agitation. "Tell me you're lying to me," Her watery eyes stared at him, clearly unwilling to believe that her mother was dead.
"I am sorry, miss Loreen. We did try our-"
"No, you didn't!!" Loreen yelled, with her finger pointing at the doctor. "The only thing you did was to let her die!" Her body quivered uncontrollably, and she shoved the vase on the receptionist's counter to the floor, shattering it to pieces.

"Miss Loreen, we need you to-"
"I want to see my mother," She turned to the doctor, and her hand balled into a fist. Her breathing became heavy and her eyes became a few shades of red.
"Miss Loreen, You're not in a good state of mind to see-"
"I said I want to see my mother!" She screamed and grabbed the doctor by the collar. Her red eyes dangerously stared at him and her hot breath fanned his face. "Take me to my mother!"
The doctor pinched between his brows and proceeded to free himself from her grip. However, he was furiously thrown to the floor by her.
Loreen glanced at him and walked past him with her hand tightly clenched into a fist. She wandered past different rooms, stomping every step she took in annoyance, and her eyes darted from side to side. She finally halted in front of a door with "A10" written on top of it, and her eyes narrowed into a thin line.
She took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Her slender body slipped inside and her eyes peeked at the table that had someone covered in white clothing lying on it.
Her fist clenched tightly, and she slowly made her way towards the table. The closer she got to the table, the more her body trembled nervously. She stood beside the slab and stared at the body covered in white clothing. Loreen reached out her twitching hand and slowly pulled the clothing down to view the face of the corpse.
Her eyes blinked in agitation and bubbles of tears filled her large eyes. "Mu-mum," Her knees became vulnerable and she fell to the floor. Her trembling hand caressed her mother's face, and she felt deep rage burn within her. "Mother," she whispered once again.
Loreen clutched her heart tightly and hatefully stared at her dead mother. "You promised... you wouldn't leave." She grasped her mother, and her face grimaced in rage. "You lied to me! You fucking lied to me!" She released her grip and slipped to the floor. Her knees curled up to her chest and her head shook in disbelief. "You left me alone in this world."
A pessimistic chuckle escaped her mouth, and her gaze became distant and lost. The lines of tears on her face gradually dried from the gentle breeze that brushed against her face.
He let her die! He let her die! Her head bobbed in annoyance and her hand balled into a tight fist. Loreen stood up and glanced at her mother's dead body one last time. She let out a soft sigh with closed eyes and left the room. With an indifferent face, she walked past the doctors and nurses who were staring at her with pitiful eyes and grabbed a bat stick lying beside the exit door, then made her way out of the hospital.
She wandered to a shop that sold alcoholic beers and bought one. Her lips curled into a grin and her grip on the bat stick in her hand tightened as deep rage burned strongly within her. Her next destination is home.
The gate to a beautiful mansion opened, revealing a young girl standing in the heavy rain with a bat stick in her right hand and a bottle of beer in her left hand.
From inside the mansion, the maids dilated their eyes when they saw the young girl and hurriedly ambled outside. Their intent gaze sized her up, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Is she okay?"...
"She doesn't look okay to me," some muttered, feeling a bit at a loss.
With folded arms, two beautiful young girls, who seemed to be sisters, walked out of the mansion and seized the young girl with their intent stare. One of the two of them raised her brow with a leisurely expression.
comment
"Jenny, what is wrong with her? " The one that looked more slender asked her sister with a bizarre expression on her face.
"Amy-" She turned around to stare at her sister, "-How am I supposed to know?" Jenny glared in annoyance and returned her stare to the young girl in the rain.
The young girl, who was Loreen, chuckled softly when she saw the two sisters who were her beloved stepsisters. She raised the bear to her mouth and gulped down a mouthful of alcohol, then turned around and threw the bottle away. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she began to saunter into the compound, dragging the bat in her hand along with her.
She staggered from one side to another as insane laughter escaped her mouth and she shook her head furiously, causing her short hair to flutter. She let out a sigh with a pessimistic look on her face, and her fingers caressed the bat.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the mansion with hatred. "Mr.Adolpho!" Loreen yelled, crazily laughing afterward. She swung the bat in her hand and her eyes glanced at the cars packed inside the compound. The bat in her hand swirled as a wicked smile formed on her lips. She halted her pitch-black eyes on a white Rolls Royce, which was Mr.Adolpho, her father's treasured car.

She stood still and tapped her fingers on her thigh. Her eyes narrowed into a thin line as she monitored everyone. A soft chuckle escaped her mouth, and she shook her head when she saw that they were also monitoring her.
Loreen's eyes abruptly widened, and in the next moment, before they could think or react, an ear-piercing scream escaped her mouth, and with the bat in her hand, she rushed towards the Rolls Royce and furiously smashed the front window, creating lines of crack on the glass.
"Ssss..." Dilating their eyes, the maids covered their mouths, and their bodies trembled fearfully. What has this girl done? Their faces grimaced in fear and pity, and they couldn't help but swallow hard. Just the imagination of what Mr.Adolpho's reaction would be when he arrives back home already left them peeing in their pants.
"You let her die, didn't you?" Loreen, whose body was trembling in rage, continuously smashed the front window and finally shattered it to pieces. She nodded her head in satisfaction and moved to the side windows. Crazily yelling, she raised the bat and also smashed them to pieces.
Jenny and Army glanced at each other, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes. "Stop her," Jenny turned to the maids and yelled, with apprehension visible in her eyes.
Nodding their heads anxiously, they rushed to Loreen and besieged her. They proceeded to hold her down, but she swung the bat in a rage and hit the maid closest to her on the head. The maid clutched her head and slumped to the ground, unconscious.
"Stay the hell away from me, you bastards!" She pointed the bat stick at them and insane laughter escaped her mouth. With her head slowly tilting to one side, she glanced at her stepsisters, whose faces were ghastly white, and she smashed the window with her eyes still fixated on them. She wiggled her eyebrows at them, indirectly asking them, 'I have smashed it. What are you going to do now?'
"She's gone insane, Jenny," Amy said nervously as she turned to face her sister.
"What do you want me to do?" Jenny glared at her sister as cold sweat dripped from her forehead. "Father is not home yet and the men are with him. We just have to wait for them to come back," She turned her head to stare at the crazy girl who was laughing insanely and swinging her bat at the maids.
The gate to the compound opened once again and two cars smoothly rode into the mansion. A middle-aged man who looked 50 stepped down from the car with his hands shoved into his pocket, and his face instantly turned a few shades darker when he saw the commotion taking place in his compound.
He raised his hand, signaling to his men, who were about to rush in and hold Loreen down, to stop. They glanced at him and obediently stepped back.
Mr.Adolpho closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh, clearly annoyed by the commotion unfolding in his mansion. Opening his eyes, he glanced at Loreen and began to walk towards her.
Loreen, who was swinging the bat stick at the maids, halted and slowly turned to see her father walking towards her with a darkened face. Her face instantly turned ashen and her grip on the bat became stronger.
A wicked smile formed on her lips, and her eyes narrowed into a thin line. She positioned the bat near the window of the Lamborghini packed on her right side and her smile switched to a warm one. "Dear father, I've been waiting for you."
Mr. Adolpho's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he intently watched Loreen. "What is your problem?" A deep frown emerged on his face.
"You want to know my problem?" Loreen blinked her eyes, pretending to be surprised. "Well, you see, I just want to ask you why you killed my mother." Her lips curled into a smile, and she intently watched Mr. Adolpho, just like he watched her.
"I told you, your mother died of-"
"Liar!!!" Loreen's eyes dilated, and her chest rose and fell in anger. This was what he always said. She died from this! She died from that! "You killed her!" She raised the bat, ready to smash it into the car window.
"You don't dare!" His cold and husky voice resounded, sending shivers through everyone's bodies. His steady breathing became heavy, clearly showing he was angry.
"Haha... You think I don't dare," Loreen halted the bat and turned her head to look at her father with an amused face. She clicked her tongue and shook her head as though someone was looking at a stupid person. "I am not afraid of you." She pouted with a puppy face.
"Let me see you try it then," Mr. Adolpho said, narrowing his eyes and forming a dangerous smile on his lips.
Loreen chuckled softly and revealed her jade-white teeth. "Father, you're looking down on me."
Mr. Adolpho ignored her and placed his hands behind his back. "You're just as foolish as your mother," he said, his eyes dwindling and a half-smile creeping across his lips. He threw a disdained look at her.
Loreen's amused face vanished, and it turned completely dark the moment she heard those words. One thing she will never condone is someone insulting her mother, and right now, Mr. Adolpho just did. She raised her eyes and dangerously stared at Mr. Adolpho.
A wicked smile crept up her lips, and in the next moment, she furiously smashed the front window of the car while crazily laughing. "Didn't you say I don't dare? Well, here you go!" She threw a vicious look at her father and proceeded to do more than just shatter the glasses.
Mr. Adolpho's eyes narrowed malevolently and his face turned ashen. He walked over to Loreen and harshly grabbed her by the arm, tossing away the bat she held in her hand.
He violently punched her, causing her to fall to the ground with a little blood on her nose. He walked to her and sent kicks after kicks to her stomach, kicking her till she began to spurt blood. He grabbed her by the collar and angrily slapped her across the face, causing Loreen's nose to bleed. "Useless child! Do you think it's easy to earn money? " He raised his hand and sent another hit to her face, and a slight groan escaped her mouth.
Loreen coughed and spurted out the blood in her mouth. She turned her head to stare at her father, and with a smirk on her face, she gave him her middle finger. "Fuck you, old man." She crazily chuckled and threw her head back.

Mr. Adolpho's hand tightened on the neckband of her clothes, and he fiercely banged her head on the concrete ground, releasing his grip on her collar afterward. He stood up and kicked her on the stomach, causing her to fly back and hit her back on the car tire. Loreen groaned in pain and spurted a mouthful of blood. She lifted her head and smiled at Mr. Adolpho, revealing her bloody teeth to him.
This was a painful experience for her, but it was worth it. She had always wanted to infuriate this man, to confront him and do something crazy. She had always wanted to stand up for herself and tell him to his face, 'Fuck you old man,' and she finally did it, and she is proud of herself.
Loreen felt her vision become blurry and a half-smile formed on her face before she lost consciousness in the next moment.
"Take this trash out of my house," Mr. Adolpho glanced at his unconscious daughter and clapped his hands together. He took a deep breath and adjusted his suit, then walked away. He ambled past the maids who had their mouths covered with their hands and halted in front of his two daughters, "You two, get inside." His eyes glanced at the maids and viciously stared at them, indirectly telling them that if a word about this gets out, they know the consequences that will follow.
The maids blinked nervously and swallowed hard. Jenny and Amy glanced at Loreen with a little concern in their eyes and followed their father into the mansion.
Men dressed in a black suit carried Loreen up from the ground and walked towards the car. They laid her on the back seat and drove out of the mansion.
They rode for nearly an hour and finally slowed down in front of a building that anyone who saw it knew was a building for insane people.
A few nurses hurried out with a wheelchair, and the black-dressed man sat Loreen on it. They took her to the psychiatric hospital, and after exchanging words with the doctor, they left.
A young nurse pushed Loreen, who was unconscious in the wheelchair, into a private room and laid her on an iron bunk with a small bed on it. She injected something into her body and stepped outside after she was done, then locked the door and left.
The light bulb hanging on the ceiling of the empty room glitched continuously.
comment
Loreen's fingers twitched, and her whole body did the same afterward. Her mouth erupted into a painful howl, and she clutched her aching stomach. She opened her blurry eyes and tried to perceive her surroundings.
She brought her legs down from the small bed and raised her eyes to glance around the room. Her face instantly turned a few shades darker and her hand balled into a tight fist. "Where in the fucking world am I?" She glanced at the ceiling and the diminutive window in the room, and she couldn't help but feel disturbed.
She stood up from the bed and proceeded to walk to the door. However, something held her back, preventing her from moving any further. She glanced at her hands only to realize that her wrists were chained. Her eyes narrowed viciously when it trailed from the chain and stopped on the iron bunk bed. This chain was attached to the iron bunk, preventing her from moving.
"You bastards!" Her eyes widened, and she screamed in outrage. She pulled the chain, but it didn't break; rather, it hurt her wrist, turning it a few shades of red. "Ahh!!!" Loreen roared in annoyance and fury. Her body trembled in rage, and she pulled the chain furiously.
comment
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and she sat back on the bed. She stared at the chains on her wrist and a deep hostility flashed in her eyes.
The door to the room opened, causing her to raise her head and see a young nurse walking towards her with a steel tray in her hands. The young nurse placed the tray with a syringe and a bottle of drugs on the table and beamed at Loreen.
Loreen sat still with her hand balled into a fist and watched the nurse fill up the syringe with drugs. "What is that?" She asked the nurse who was already preparing to inject her.
"Oh, this is just to help you relax." The nurse smiled at her and reached out for her arm. "Don't worry, it won't hurt," She positioned the syringe on Loreen's arm and injected the drug into her body.
Loreen narrowed her eyes and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. She knew this nurse was lying. This was not a relaxing drug, but something else. Her eyes peeked at the bottle and creased when she saw it had no name or label on it.
She suddenly felt lightheaded and clutched her head in her hands. What in the world did this woman inject into her body? She raised her eyes and viciously glared at the nurse, "What did you inject into my body?"
The nurse smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's just a sleeping drug. You will be fine once you take a nice nap." Loreen stared at the nurse and rubbed her eyes, which were becoming blurry. Her head went into turmoil and she knocked the steel tray down before losing consciousness.
The young nurse stared at her with pity in her eyes and shook her head. She took the tray without bothering to pick up the syringe that had fallen off and exited the room, closing the door behind her.
Loreen woke up from her unconscious state after a maximum of thirty minutes. She sat up and shook her throbbing head with a grimaced face. Her eyes glanced around, and a deep breath escaped her mouth.
She bent down and peeked under the bunk, and a wide smile formed on her lips when she saw the syringe she knocked from the tray. She picked it up and stared at it. This pin is her only way to escape.
She pulled out the pin from the syringe and carefully examined it. Her eyes glanced at the door and around the room to make sure there was nothing like a CCTV camera around. A smile formed on her lips when she saw there wasn't any.
She inserted the pin into the lock and began to twist it in different ways. She placed the lock close to her ear and attentively listened to the sound the pin produced inside of it. She did this for almost an hour before she tiredly brought her aching hand down. That was harder than she thought.
The sun gradually set and another day began. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she peeked through the diminutive window in the room. Her mother's funeral will be taking place tomorrow, and her father gave a strict order to the hospital to prevent her from showing up at the funeral.
A soft chuckle left her mouth, and with a click of her tongue, she shook her head. What makes them think that they can prevent her from attending her mother's funeral? Nothing and no one will stop her from attending that funeral tomorrow. Her hand balled into a tight fist and she averted her gaze from the window.
She raised her hand and stared at the chain on her wrist for a while, then at the pin beside her on the bonk. Today she has to unlock these chains and escape, or she might never get to see her mother.
She picked up the pin and inserted it into the lock. Just like before, she placed it near her ear and began to twist it.
The pin wriggled inside the lock, showing signs of being unlocked but not yet. Loreen twisted the pin inside the lock for minutes, and a cold sweat began to drip down her back. This has to work, she kept telling herself as her fingers controlled the pin inside the lock.
An hour passed, and still, nothing happened. She dropped her hand, which was already sore and aching, and a deep breath left her mouth. Her face grimaced as her eyes stared at her wrist, which had turned a shade of red as a result of the chain latching on it.
She took a little rest and then proceeded to try again. She did this for four hours, resting when needed and continuing afterward.
At the last minute of the fifth hour, a cracking sound suddenly reverberated from within the lock, and Loreen's eyes dilated. Did she successfully unlock it?
She hurriedly dropped the pin and proceeded to remove the chain from her wrist. A victory smile formed on her brims when the chain fell off, setting her wrist free. She rubbed her sore wrist and her eyes viciously gazed at the door. Tonight she will escape.
She latched the chain back on her wrist and quietly laid down on the bed, patiently waiting for the nurse who injects her every day to arrive.

The clock ticked and minutes were enacted. The sun went down and the sky turned shades of dark. Loreen's eyes gazed at the door from which the nurse would come in through any minute from now.
"10-9-8-7-6-5-" Her hand balled into a fist and her heart thumped nervously." --3-2-1," The doorknob turned and the door slowly opened.
A nurse with a friendly smile plastered on her face walked in and ambled towards Loreen with a tray that had a syringe and a bottle of drugs in it. The nurse dropped it on the small table and squatted down with her back facing Loreen.
She picked up the syringe and prepared to fill it up.
Loreen's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she slowly removed the chains from her wrist. She stood up without making any noise and silently walked to the nurse.
The nurse felt someone behind her and she turned her head around. However, a furious kick landed on her face and sent her crashing heavily to the floor.
comment
"You!..." A groan escaped her mouth, and she hatefully glared at Loreen. She tried to get up, but another kick from Loreen landed on her face, causing her to fall and lay flat on the floor. Loreen walked up to her and grabbed her by the collar. She began to send punches after punches to the nurse's face, and when her hand became bloody from all the punching, she banged the nurse's head on the floor and released her grip.
Her eyes stared at the nurse, and she blinked nervously. Her heart thumped anxiously, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She had never done so before, so it was normal for her to react this way.
She grabbed the nurse by the leg and dragged her to the bunk. She pulled out the phone from inside the nurse's clothing and undressed her.
Loreen outfitted herself in the nurse's uniform and readjusted her hair just like the nurse did. She glanced at the nurse one last time and picked up the tray. She left the room and locked the door.
Her eyes darted around the hallway, and she proceeded to walk forward. She bent her head and walked a little hurriedly to avoid suspicion.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the exit door out of the hospital, and without delay, she proceeded to walk towards it. She had just gotten halfway to the door when she suddenly bumped into someone, who glared at her, "Hey! Watch where you're going! "
"Sorry," Loreen hurriedly stood up and scurried out of the hospital, not even looking at the man she had run into. The moment she made it out, she unhesitantly took to her heels and made sure to run very far from the hospital.
She stopped running when she got to a bridge, and her eyes gazed down at the water under it. She stared at the reflection of the stars in the water and chuckled at herself. A 20-year-old likes her suffering as if she were a big adult.
Her agemates are having fun and making boyfriends and all, but here she is living a bitter life. She turned around to gaze at the cars passing on the road, and the breeze brushed past her, causing her hair to flutter.
She pulled out the scissors she stole from the tray and grabbed a handful of her hair. She proceeded to cut her hair so short it didn't even reach the neck length it was before.
Strands of her hair fell into the water, and a soft laugh escaped her mouth. She spread her hands and allowed the breeze to gracefully brush past her". Mr. Adolpho!!!!-" She screamed, crazily laughing afterward. "-Let's see how you stop me now!"
