I sat back down unbothered by their mocking behavior. Matter of fact is kind of made me happy.

"Take the rest of the time to explore the school and meet the rest of the team," added the headmistress before suddenly leaving once again.

I looked around at the quiet room waiting for someone to say a word.

"Hey new girl you should really watch out," suddenly said Hye brushing her brown bangs out of her right showing her red eyes.

"What are you worried about? Don't worry I can manage," I answered looking her in the eyes.

"You really are something," added Song bora chuckling.

"What else could you except the Lee family," continued Young-soo making everyone in the room leave from his sudden hand gestures.

I stood up leaving when someone suddenly stopped me.

"Where are you going," asked Haw-young gently pushing me back to my seat.

"It would be a waste for you to leave since you started this meeting. So seat your pretty ass back down," stated Song bora pulling grabbed a paper from the binder that she was holding.

"Here you mission looking it over. Be ready by tomorrow morning," said Haw-young handing me the paper.

"Okay," I answered grabbing the paper before leaving.

I exited the room to find Ae-ri leaning on the wall as if she was waiting for me.

"Finally," she said grabbing my arm dragging me before I could reply.

We stopped at the main hall where a group of people was standing.

We drifted through the crowd finding ourselves at the center. Right in front of my eyes was Jimin.

He was standing next to Seon-Jung. In front of them were stand the father, stepmother, and Yu-jun.

I observed everything when someone suddenly utter my ane making the crowd go silent. Everyone's attention turned to me.

Everything was so fast that I couldn't even process what happened and in the next second. A hard slap came landing down my cheeks turning them bright red.

My head abruptly turned to the left. I knew who it was. To me, it felt as if it was a hello.

"Honey," whispered a female voice making them lift my head.

I brushed my long black hair from my face giving me a clearer look at the figure standing in front of me.

"How are your father," I asked while licking the corner of my lips checking for any blood.

Before I knew it another hard slap came landing down my cheeks this time from Yu-jun. AS she went for a second one I firmly grabbed her hand making her pull her hand out of my grip.

She grabbed her phone showing a picture. I smiled then sighed.

"What a nosy world," I started taking a closer look at the picture.

It was a picture of her practically naked. It showed her kissing a random guy.

"What is this," she asked making me look at the ground.

"You think that I did that," I replied every one making her blood boil.

"Yah Seonyoung I know you hate me but you didn't have to be that harsh," she screamed pushing me.

"If you want Sung-ho you can have him back," she continued as a pair of big arms patted her shoulders.

"Grab her," said a deep voice as men dressed in black escorted me out of the building.

Tell me why is it that something that brings you delight can also bring abhorrence, dismay, and sadness.

I closed my eyes resorting to my faith.

I was awakened by whisperings coming from near. I found myself in a dark room with only a little widow as a source of light.

"Madam," murmured a soft voice entering the room.

It was one of the maids. She was followed by another maid who was holding candles and a plate of food.

They placed the items before exiting the room. I took a look at the food not taking a bite. I pushed myself to the far corner of the room curling up. Letting the tears slowly exit my eyes.

I quietly cried myself to sleep. I woke up yet a gain to a bunch of whispers but this time they were loud and clear.

"I feel so sorry for the young madam. Her mother died when she was just a child and her father remarried into such an evil family," said one of the maids with a sad tone accompanying her words

"I fell sad for her. Anyway, the master is going to be coming at any time," said the other maid opening the door.

She looked at the tray with was untouched. The maid walked over to me crouching down. She took a second to look at me. My eyes were swollen. This was the first time I had ever cried when I was in here.

Most of the time I would kick and yell to get them to open the door but this time none of that happened. The maid subconsciously caressed my hair making my eyes slightly twitch.

"madam," she whispered waking me up handing me a glass of water.

"Drink this," she said helping me drink the water.

After she finished she left the room. I curled up again staring at the wall when the door flew opened revealing a group of men dressed in black They dragged me out of the room bringing me to another one.

They strapped me down to a bench. Silently waiting for their boss to come.

When he finally entered closed my eyes. knowing what was going to happen. Most of my punishments for misbehaving have usually been starvation for a couple of days. This was the farthest father had gone.

I grabbed a paddle smacking me without warning. I slightly moaned in pain closing my eyes even tighter.

***

"One hundred and forty-nine," stated someone.

"One hundred and fifty," he continued before a loud clang echoed through the room.

Tears were slowly falling from my eyes. I was bleeding.

"Make sure not to give her any food," he added leaving the room.
