"M-Mommy please! Take me with you..." I begged while hugging her waist tightly.

Mommy sighed, “Lara I can’t, I'm going to work and you’re not allowed there.” mom replied.

My heart aches hearing her reason. I know that already, I just want to try again if she can take me with her.

"O-Okay mom." I answered nonchalantly.

“Why do you always want to come with me? Don't you want to stay here at home?” mom asked.

I immediately averted my gaze from her.

"I-It's not like that mom--"

"Oh lina you still here? you should go or else you may be late to your work again." He said while looking at me.

“Alright, I'm leaving. ” Mom said, and she looked at me. 

"Listen to your uncle and don't be so naughty okay?" 

I suddenly bowed my head down. Because of what my mom said.

"Yes I will take care of her lina, don’t worry." tito henry replied, my stepfather.

After my mom left, I immediately ran to my room but before I could enter he pulled my hair.

"Where do you think you’re going?!" he said angrily while tweaking my hair.

"T-Tito… I-I still have work to do because I have an assignment, I'll just finish it." I replied while trembling.

"No! You will stay here."

And he dragged me to the living room and he suddenly laid me down on the sofa while slowly laying on top of me.

"T-Tito--"

"You still have plans to tell it to your mother. Do you think she will believe you?" he suddenly smirked.

"N-No tito… I-I just want to go out."

“Do you think you can fool me? Oh maybe you really want me to kill your mom!? ” he threatened

"N-No! D-Don't hurt my mom..." I begged

“Alright, but you have to obey me.”

I just nodded, and he just laughs like a demon.

Then he started undressing me, To use me again to fulfill his needs.

I was 12 years old back then, when he and my mom were living together. I thought at first that he was kind because he always gave me what I wanted, but I was wrong. 

Because he raped me the day that my mom didn’t come home because of work. I reported it to mom but she just scolded me, and no one believed what I told them even my cousins. Until tito found out about it, from then he threatened me that he would kill my mom if I did it again.

And now I am already 17 years old, and still obeying him for the sake of my mom.

Maybe I was just born to protect my mom, in exchange for my body.
