AUTHOR P.O.V....
Y/n was tied from behind and her mouth was stuffed with a clothes to stop her from speaking. She struggled to free herself but it got into vein. She can't even cry to her poor fate.
Suddenly she heard footsteps. She looked up and found the reason of her state that she is in right now.
"How does it feel to be like this sis." said her cruel cousin. Y/n tried to speak but couldn't because of the cloth in her mouth.
"Awww poor you can't talk now. Tsk tsk tsk. But you know bitch you deserve this. You have always been a slut. Who told you to come in front of the guest." barked her sister.
Y/n again tried to make any sound but it was all waste.
"Today I'm gonna show you; your real place." With that she went near to Y/n and showed her a bucket that she was carrying with her.
"You see this bucket full of water. I have acid in it which will destroy your face and nobody will look at you ever again." Y/n looked at her with terror full eyes. She can't believe that her own cousin will do this to her. She always loved her like a little sister but here she loathe her with full heart.
She put the bucket on the ground and grabbed Y/n's hair from back. She forwarded her head towards the bucket. Y/n started struggling but it wasn't enough cause her hands and legs were tied.
Her sister was about to put her head in the bucket but suddenly that bucket was abruptly throwed from there.
"What are you doing Unnie?" asked Y/n's smaller brother. He was barely 8. He was shocked to see her sister in that dreadful condition. Surely he was a child but he could understand the evilness behind his cousin.
"You little devil." barked his cousin. But he ignored her words and ran towards Y/n. He helped her untie her.
"Today you were lucky but I won't let you live peacefully." shouted her cousin. She abruptly turned her heel and stomped away from there.
"Are you ok unnie?" asked Taegi. Y/n's brother.
"I'm fine Taegi."Said Y/n while wiping her tears. She hugged him and patted his back. She was proud of him for being so strong for himself and for his sister.
They both broke the hug and went out of the basement. They both entered inside the house.
The moment Y/n entered inside the living room a hard slap landed on her cheeks. She feel on the ground due to the impact. She grabbed her cheeks and looked up with teary eyes.
"You bitch!!! I already warned you not to come in front of guest but you slut have to whore around. Because of you witch they changed their mind and asked your hand instead of you sister." spitted her aunt with pure acid in her voice.
Was it Y/n's fault that Taegi hurt himself and she had to run to the garden??? Was it her fault that guests saw her??? Was it her fault that they asked for her hand for marriage instead of her cousin???
Was it her fault that she was beautiful???
"B-But aunt Taegi hurt himself and I had to go look for him." said Y/n while standing, still holding and her pressing her cheeks to ease the stinging pain.
"Then you would had let him be. It wasn't that he was going to die." spated her aunt with venom in her voice. She really didn't had any heart for that poor child who lost his parents in such a young age.
Y/n looked at him with wide eyes as she couldn't believe her words.
How can she be this much cruel; this much heartless????
She grabbed Taegi's hand and pulled him towards her. She didn't had anyone with her after her parents death. She was now left with only one family and that is Taegi. And she can't risk to loose him.
Her aunt glared at her for the last time and went away from there but not before ordering her to prepare dinner.
Y/n grabbed Taegi and put him to their small yet comfy bed and told him to rest for a while. As his knee was still swollen and had turn black and purple.
Taegi nodded his head like a cute puppy and closed his eyes. Y/n kissed his temper.
She closed the door and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Whereas on the other side her aunt and cousin were sitting in garden and were relaxing. They never helped Y/n in household chores and treated her like a servant.
Y/n being a pure hearted girl ignored their bad behaviour and obeyed all their orders like a obedient child.
Y/n really whished for nothing. She only want to live a peaceful life with her brother and her long lost love.
He promised her that he will come back and take her with him to live happily ever after.
