Chapter 40 - The dead end in her maze (2/2)

She spits some blood and instead of thinking about losing her job due to her face, she thought about hiding Adam in just a room, locking him up.

She grabs his arms tightly as her jaw clenched, the man struggled but with no avail, has been beaten up by Ashley.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, she, Ashley, tying Adam in a rope, and Celestia, finally breaking free, Adam brought her the time to do so. Even though her hands are now in a more serious state, she could care less.

Grabbing the vase beside her. she's ready to aim at Ashley, 'Please Ted forgive me' she begs in her mind, she's got no other choice, the girl is crazy!

She's about to throw it when the doorknob suddenly moved. and the man in the early 30s suddenly came out.

The time seems to stop as Ashley's eyes went wide and Celestia halted mid-air.

"B-brother" Ashley choked on her own words.

What will she do now?

Sensing another person behind her, she immediately thought of something. Her eyes began to water, taking acting skills, after all, is not a waste of time.

"E-E-Eve's a dang--"

*SLAP*

Ashley's hand on her left cheek, her face is now completely destroyed.

The once kind eyes of her brother were now cold and full of disgust.

"I can't believe you're my sister" he spat in anger.

Like a splash of cold water, Ted's words woke Ashley, out of all her relatives, Ted is the only kind enough to accept her, he's the only one who cared for her, and he is the only one who loved her...

Her brother let her stay in his house yet this is how she returned that kindness.

'When can I do anything right?' she smiles, sadly.

This is game over for her. A dead-end in her maze.

A tear fell on her cheeks as she fell on her knees, what she did flashbacks again and again, when did she become like this?

Ah, right, when she was sexually assaulted at the age of 15 but her father and mother did not believe her, instead they accused her of just lying to get through...their exact words, "You only causes us trouble, if you're going to spend your night with your friends, just say so! Stop making excuses"

That night, not only did she lost her virginity to a stranger but also her trust to the people she thought will be there for her.

Whether she drinks, used drugs, the Perez family could care less, after all, she is the black sheep in their prosperous clan. The dirt in a perfectly white shirt...

Ted contacted Zhang Yong by chatting him online, his little sister needs to go to rehabilitation and it may take years before she will become fully recovered.

He cannot believe that his sister can do that, but time really changes a person.

His little sister who used to follow him around when they were still toddlers, the same sister who made him a hand-made handkerchief with his name on at the age of 7, his sister who has so much potential yet ended up broken.

She's talented not only in the way his family wants her to be.
