... The sound of the TV filled the wedding dress shop, where rows of elegant gowns hung silently, as the news anchor's voice recited the latest updates,...

... "A gruesome discovery has been made in Sector 25, where the body of an adult male has been found with severe injuries. The victim's face is unrecognizable, and limbs have been severed, making identification nearly impossible. ...

...The police are investigating what appears to be a brutal and deliberate act of violence. The possibility of a serial killer on the loose cannot be ruled out, considering the previous cases. We urge all citizens to exercise extreme caution and stay indoors at night to ensure their safety."...

"Oh my god, this is the third body to be discovered," saleswoman spoke out, terrified, while adjusting the dress on a customer.

"It's getting scary to live in this world."

"What kind of inhuman man is he to kill people like that?" another replied.

Man? Oh, how I wish they knew.

Setting their attention back on the customer, "Ma'am, you can take a look at yourself in the mirror," turning her around and showing her reflection in a full-size mirror. "You look stunning in white! Like an angel who has come to earth."

Angel? Only if they knew the reality. They wouldn't say the same. Absolutely, she looked good in her white wedding dress, but she was more interested in knowing how fun it would be to taint this beautiful white with the pure red blood of a terrified human. That would make her happier than this dress.

 But for the power, status, and money, she could suppress her urge for now.

 Or maybe for love in those almond eyes.

And tomorrow is her wedding with that same almond eyes man . Never in her whole life she thought that she could fall in love with someone but here she is 'life is unpredictable'  .   How fast time flies from having nothing to a having a person she can call her home. Little malicia would be happy to see her own family .

Darkness it  scares me the most  but also gives me peace . It is only darkness where i  stay away from all pain . It engulf my sorrow within her .

Even in December  cold night , darkness is the only that stay beside me in this small room . i curl up into ball , seeking warmth but the cold air seeping from the window only makes me shiver more . The chill seems to emanate  from every surface - the window , the floor , even my own skin . My body aches , still tender from the beating i endured last night . I try to relax , but my muscles remain tenses , anticipating another blow . It was all because i accidentally broke Aurelia's - my step sister's -favourite toy . she has always been precious about her belongings, especially the golden music box Father gave her . I remember the way it sparkled , like the gold it was named after . Now i am the one broke , like the toy .

Letting my thoughts take over my mind i started to slip into sleep but today luck was not on my side it never was when i feel myself getting drench from cold water . i snapped my eyes opened to see my stepmother standing with the bucket in her hand and anger on her face .

"we are not feeding you , for you to sleep like this . It is already morning where is my fu-king tea . didn't i warn you thousand time " she grabbed my hair harshly  "huh, was i not clear enough . or along with your brain you ears stopped working too "

"should i help you with that " she utter with a sly smile on her face which was followed by a slap on my ear .

ouch that hurt . It stings and my brain cannot comprehend what is happening around . I feel so dizzy , weak , hurt and tired . I just want to close my eyes  and fall into darkness ......................

And there she fainted into darkness where she love the most .

"bitch , just like her mother . can't even handle a slap " she murmured angrily and went outside the room .

Malicia , a 14 year old girl , lived in a grand mansion with her so called father , stepmother , and stepsister . she bore  the punishment for the sins her parents committed , suffering torture and mistreatment . As a illegitimate child , she faced constant disgust and ridicule from around her . Isn't it absurd that grown adult are holding Malicia responsible for circumstances beyond her control ? they blame her for the family"s breakdown , claiming she"s the reason for their tarnished reputation . They label her a "home wrecker" a title that weighs heavily on her shoulder . 

Her own father , the one who should be shielding her from harm , tells Malicia that she shouldn't have been born . The irony - he is the one at fault , yet his power and influence render him untouchable . No one dares point a finger at him , while Malicia bears the pain . 

she living a worse life than Cinderella still there is no one to help her . Her prince charming doesn't exist and her godmother who was suppose to be her mother , she is the reason for her misery .
