Cherry was tied on the chair in the basement, her face was pale, lips dried and her breathing was unstable, her face was covered with sweat and was stuck on her face, there were a lot of bruises around her wrist and ankles, she was starving as she didn't eat anything from last three days and her throat was burning because of continuous screaming, she was having throbbing pain in her head because of the drug Mr. X had given her, she was looking weaker than earlier, Cheery looked at the door for the last time and then closed her eyes and started remembering her past. A tear rolled down her cheek as she recalled all her memories.
I used to live in a bungalow in the outskirts of H city with my father and mother. We had a loving family, my mother was a homemaker whereas my father worked for an agency. Most of the time he was not at home and I used to stay with my mother, My father name was Eden Franklin as he was from Russia and my mother was Ella Choi, she was from H city, My father met my mother during a mission and fell in love with her, we had everything until the day everything demolished in front of my eyes.
I was Seven at that time and was coming back from school when I saw a pool of blood in our living room, someone has slaughtered my mother's throat and she was lying there on the floor blood were gushing out of the wound, I rushed towards her, tears were streaming down my cheeks, my mother held my hand in hers and said slowly, "runaway from here laura and never look back, run as far as you can and save you life, my little angel, always remember that your parents loved you so much and we were always standing beside you " with that, she gave me a piece of paper and looked into my eyes with a lot of love and compassion but more than that there was fear visible in her eyes.
I heard some sounds and got up from the floor and ran towards a cupboard, I saw three men coming towards my mom and hitting her hard in her stomach, she was groaning in pain and finally, one of them shot her with the gun and took out his phone and said, "we have killed his wife and we had killed him also and about their daughter, we will find her soon and kill her" with that he hung up the call and dashed out of the room, I got out of the cupboard and rushed towards my mother and held her hand tightly in my hand she was lying there lifeless, I touched her tummy, she was seven months pregnant at that time. I burst into tears after looking at my mother for the last time.
I got up from the floor and ran towards my mother's room and searched for some money while searching in her wardrobe, I found a file on which MR X was written in bold letters.
I realized instantly that he was responsible for the death of my parents, I took some money, my mother's pendant, and that file from there and left.
I met Catherine and hid my true identity, only Catherine and her only son Klaus knew my true identity. After knowing the whole truth, I joined the agency and started working on the same project as my father.
I had been through a lot of thicks and thins throughout my life and was never felt this disappointed. Only once in my life, I thought that I can leave behind my past and move on with the love of my life, Charles but he also left me.
I fight harder for my survival, even though it was harder, I married Ryan because I got to know that he was somehow related to Mr. X and I was right, he is Mr. X.
I got stuck because of my rising feelings for Ryan but now I'm sure about my decision. I will never forgive him for all the miseries I had been through. I will never forgive him not in this lifetime.
I didn't understand why I'm the one who suffers, at last, why I had to endure it, why I had to hold it to the last, sometimes I wanted to give up especially after the death of Catherine. I cried until my heart become numb and I felt that all warmth inside me died.
Klaus always told me not to get involved, but I didn't want to give up. I just wanted to kill him and then wanted to leave this place without coming back as there is nothing left for me here, I wanted to go back to H City and start a new life there.
I don't want to lose hope, I know Klaus will find and take me out of this hell, and then I'll ruin his life and put him behind the bars for killing my parents. I just need to endure it a little longer until Klaus finds me.
