Jennifer Adam, 21 year-old, BA literature graduate, a breathtaking beauty with an hourglass figure that embodies perfection. Her eyes, like pools of liquid crystal, hold a mysterious depth that captivates all who gaze into them. In the midst of her stunning appearance, Jennie's eyes, though physically perfect, held a haunting emptiness, devoid of the spark of life. Perhaps stemming from the loss of her mother to cancer when she was just 12 years old. This tragic event marked a turning point in her life, leaving behind a void that no amount of external charm could fill. Her sorrow worsen as her father remarried to a wicked woman, turning her father against her and enveloping her world in a shroud of darkness and betrayal. Jennie's struggles continued as she faced yet another heartbreaking situation, enduring the trauma of a harrowing experience where she was molester , harshly. Despite the hardships she faced, Jennie clung to a glimmer of hope, waiting for a ray of light to pierce through the darkness that surrounded her.

Jennie came down...

She can already feel the strong gaze of her stepmom.

She saw her father sitting in the dinning area along with your step sister

J/M-: Oh you finally came down honey... hope your sleep was good… Here have some breakfast

She flinched as her stepmom suddenly spoke

Jennie -: Am sorry mom...She said while looking down… I wa- was

She was stopped as she felt strong pain on her cheek... Her eyes got teary

Everyone was still silent doing their own business as this was a usual thing.

J/M -: Look at me... she raised her voice

Jennie trying not to cry

J/M -: i said look at me... Oh! you don't...Its fine... its alright... go back to your room

Jennie -: But mom I am starving... i did- didn't eat yesterday… Please let me - me have some... she strutted as she spoke

J/M -: So what should I do huh... do you want me to feed you…. She was starring at her soul So now you are blaming for your mistakes...

J/D -: GO TO YOUR ROOM JENNIFER

Jennie flinched hard as her father spoke. She couldn't control her tears anymore. She broke down into tears and ran back to her room as she knows what will happen if she disobeyed her father. She cried as she pressed her head in the pillow not letting any sound out. Jennie recollects the picture of the dreadful events from the previous night, where she was harshly beaten for accidentally breaking a plate. She slipped into a deep sleep...

She woke up hearing knocks on her door...She opened her heavy eyes... as someone was still knocking

Jennie -: Yess coming... she spoke softly..

She opened her door revealing Andrea, her step-sister...

Andrea -: Mom and dad want you downstairs.

Jennie -: Coming

With that she followed Andrea... She saw her father and stepmom seriously talking about something. Her heart was raising as she was afraid on getting beaten up again...

J/D -: Sit down... He spoke as he saw Jennie

Jennie looked surprised as it's the first time her father spoke softly to her after his remarriage.

J/D -: We want to discuss a very serious matter with you

Jennie -: Yes dad... She smiled at him

J/D -: You are getting married on coming month he spoke ignoring her warm smile

Jennie -: WHAT.... Her smile vanished…. She stood up looking directly at her father.

J/D -: Do you want me to repeat

Jennie -: But dad... how can you... I can't marry, and I won't... I am not ready… You know everything that happened. I need time.

She burst out

J/M -: Soo you are gonna disobey you dad

Jennie -: Dad that not what I meant... She spoke ignoring her stepmom...

I am afraid of facing another man what if he force himself on me... Dad please consider it again

J/D -: There is no change in my decision… They liked you and this marriage going to help our business.

Jennie -: Dad... please... for the sake of me... I can't…

J/D stood up grabbing Jennie's hair harshly making her look at him...

Listen YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. I DON'T GIVE A SH*T...

Jennie -: Dad but...

J/D -: If you open your mouth again you will know how devil I can be...

With that her pushed her on the floor and walked past her to his room which her stepmom followed…

Andrea -: Hey get up and…go to your room.. Its so fu*king annoying to see your face

Jennie stood up slowly holding herself and made her way to her room... She sat down on the floor hiding herself in her knees getting flashback on how those people forced themselves on her... how disgusted she were ... how helpless she were...

I don't want to get marrIed i don't…. what if he is same as my father what if torture me.. What if he... *Sobbing*

J/M -: Come now wear this gown. It will be perfect for you.

She walked down the aisle with her father..

Everyone was stunned by her beauty… How can anyone be this much beautiful…

Jennie's father gave your hand to her soon-to-be husband... she didn't dare to look up. She eyes were forming tears as the traumatic incidents give her a wave of flashbacks.

Kevin (Soon to be husband)POV -:

Jennie looked back at her father who was busy talking to others. Her eyes become watery. She looked up in the sky asking permission and blessing from her mother and get on the car.
