"Huff.. huff.."
A woman in a blue dress ran as fast as she could. But was still caught by two buffy men.
When she got caught, she stopped struggling. She looked at the person behind them instead.
Behind them is a woman who's pretty as an angel who wore a white fluffy dress.
"Don't you get tired? You know it's over, right? Why are you still fighting? You lost everything, Carla." The woman in white asked.
"W-why? Why did you do this? You can just get everything, why do you have to kill us? What did we do to you, Alicia!" The woman in blue shouted with contempt in her eyes.
Alicia giggled.
"Who knows. Maybe for fun?" Alicia looked at her with disdain. "You know, I hate your face. I should be the one who they should adore, yet because of you, nobody looked at me! They always compare me to you!" She shouted.
Carla couldn't understand. Just because of my face? How low is that? And who adored who?
"People at school was amazed by your beauty, I wonder what would they think now?" Alicia smirked.
Carla glared at her.
"Ricky said you're the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. I couldn't allow that! He is mine and mine alone. He can only look at me and nobody else!" Alicia shouted.
"So? So what if he said that? I won't steal him away from you, he is just an ugly jerk! You two suit each other!" Carla retorted.
"You.." Before Alicia could finish her sentence, someone came.
"Sweety, how long are you gonna fetch her? Your father is looking for her." A woman from a few distances said. She's Alicia's mother.
"Mother! She... She said Ricky is ugly! Let me punish her first!" Alicia complained.
"Oh sweety, your father is getting mad. You don't have to waste your energy on her, she'll be doom soon." The mother said.
Alicia put a smile on her face and agreed. She told his men to bring Carla back.
Before they went back, the mother stopped in front of her and whispered. "Well, at least you saw your mother's lost pieces before your turn right? No worries, we'll make your death not too much pain, for your father's sake." And then she smiled and walked away.
Carla remembered everything about her mother's death and how her brother fell into their trap like it was only yesterday.
And, she can only glare at them.
...
In the mansion, a man who was in the '50s sat down on an office chair while waiting.
"Father! Sister is back!" Alicia greeted him with a smile while her mother hugged him.
"Good! Good!" He said.
He looked at Carla with disdain.
"You.. you shouldn't have escaped! Because of you, I wasted so much time! If you weren't her daughter I would let you go. But because you are, you can only be obedient!" He scoffed.
"I am also your daughter! Besides, you already got a family, why bother letting me, my brother, and my mother stayed back then! You even do such a thing! I wish you weren't my father!" Carla complained.
Slap!
That man slapped her so hard which made Alicia and her mother happy. But the man was focused on Carla he didn't see their smile.
"I didn't want her back then, but she refused to give me the key! Now, not only she left you two, your brother even put shame to our family!" He said.
He didn't know that Carla's mother died and didn't leave. He also didn't know that the one who put her brother in prostitution is Alicia and not her brother himself.
She tried to explain before but because of lack of evidence, and also because he favored Alicia, he didn't believe in her.
And so she can only loathe in this father of hers.
"Now that your brother is gone, you're the only left for your mother. Tell your mother she should just give the key to me and I will let you go!" He said.
'That key! Always with that key! ' Carla thought.
"Mother is dead! And that key is not in hers!"
Carla wanted to say that the key was already in their hands, in her stepmother's hands but could only swallow it back. If she does, they will also kill her brother.
"Oh, darling! Even now she still defended her." Alicia's mother said while giving Alicia a look. Alicia understood.
"Father! She said earlier that she would rather die than give you the key! She even said she broke it and scattered it while she was running away!" Alicia said.
"What?!" The father was shocked.
"I didn't! You liar!" Carla struggled.
"Oh, even now you still lie, Carla. And even framed my daughter?" Alicia's mother wiped a teardrop from her face with a worried look. "Darling, what should we do?" She said with worried.
The father gritted her teeth and slap Carla again out of anger.
"Beat her to death! Since there is no key, there is no reason for her to live!" He said with an angry look, "..also, kill her slut brother too!" He added.
"Darling! This is too much! They are just kids!" Alicia's mother defended her and cover her mouth with a handkerchief to cover her smile.
"She is useless!" The father said.
"No!! Please no!" Carla begged him but he wasn't listening and just walked away.
' Why? Why?! Why couldn't he believe me?! I'm also his daughter! '
' What? What are these two people want from us? '
'They already got everything! Is it not enough? '
' No! No! I don't want this life! I had enough! '
' If I'm gonna die anyway, why not bring them with me?! '
'That's right! I will kill them! '
Carla had a desire to kill them. Unfortunately, before she could even lift a finger, she got dragged away by the two buffy men and brought her to the basement.
Annalisa followed them. When they got there, she locked the door and told her the truth, "Did you know, your brother died 3 years ago?"
Carla was stunned, "What-- what do you mean?"
"Your brother's costumer that time was a beginner, and accidentally killed him in the bed. Pft, how shameful that was! Hahaha!" Annalisa became hysterical.
Carla couldn't utter a word, she didn't want to believe it. All this time, the only person she cared about was already gone. What was the point of her still being alive?
"Ah, I did this for the key you know, our family was brought back to our rightful place. Also, I'm a millionaire thanks to your mother's hard work on the company." Annalisa smirked.
Carla glared at her, "Bitch! I'll kill you!" She struggled but the men held her tightly.
Carla hated her more than ever. Not only she destroyed their family, but she also killed her mother and stole her mother's properties.
Her brother also died because of them!
But she hated herself more because she couldn't do anything and part of what happened also her fault!
Annalisa laughed hysterically then stopped for a moment, "I'll leave you all alone. You know what to do. Enjoy."
Annalisa gave a meaningful look before locking them in the basement.
There, they 'sexually' beat her to death.
This is what Alicia's mother meant about her death not too much pain. Considering how her mother died.
She struggled for a moment but couldn't utter a word from pain. She could only silently cry.
They beat her 'till she passed away.
...
A buzzing sound awoke a sleeping puny human.
'What's going on?' Carla thought.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling... With toys hanging?
' Where am I? Am I in the hospital? But they said they'll beat me to death? Who saved me? '
Remembering what happened, she cried. It was painful for her.
But while she cried, she heard her voice.
' What's wrong with my voice?! '
She covered her mouth but, felt something squishy.
She looked at her hands.
' It's... so small. '
"Ahhhhh! Uwaahh!!" She shouted and cried like an infant.
' I became a baby?! '
While crying and shouting from shocked, someone came running from the door.
"Oh my, hush my baby. Mommy is here!" The woman comforted her.
Carla was stunned by what she sees...
Mama?!
