'I don't know whether am doing the right thing or not...I don't know if am running towards danger or safety..I really don't know.. if where am going to,... my life will be worse than it already is..I just hope that ..the heavens will give me a chance to rewrite my destiny..at least before I die, I'll get a chance to get my revenge'

One hour before

"Mom, this is the right time to finish this bit*h once and for all, Dad has gone on a business trip, we won't get another good opportunity than this one" the girl in a green dress uttered

"Don't worry, I know what to do" the woman in her forties said, with a mischievous smile on her, and soon they opened the door, and got in

Inside the room, was a girl in her early twenties, her long black hair messy, curled up her legs and hugged them tightly, at the corner of the room, the room was so dark and untidy

As soon as she realised their presence, she started to tremble, fear overwhelmed her

"look who's afraid?"

"Celine, don't scare your sister like that" hypocritical

"Mom, am not scaring her we're just having some fun" squating down holding her chin, she scoffed

"wh..what do you want from me?" the girl uttered, her voice trembling, showing how frightened she was, but she tried as much as she could to calm herself down

but she got a heavy slap, landing on her bruised left cheek, which was already purple, from the previous beating

she didn't react at all, as she was already used to it

 it's been ten years now since it all started, her own mother who was a legal wife of Edward Clarks, got killed by her father's mistress, Maria, who conspired with her illegitimate daughter Celine, after killing her mother, her father's mistress along with her illegitimate daughter, locked her in her room, for over ten years, saying that she was mentally unstable, and would cause a disgrace to the Clarks family

sadly enough, her father believed their lies, and agreed to it, under the pretence that they're doing this for her own good

since that day, life has been a living hell for her, getting beaten up by her step mother and step sister, locked inside her room, not allowed to go out for over ten years, her father whom she thought would be her only hope, ended up disappointing her

apart from her childhood friend Dylan, who helped her secretly

she had no one else to rely on, except for herself

"how dare you glare at me like that?" Celine uttered, while her mother sat on the bed elegantly

taking a whip, she started hitting her with it, with every whip she gave her, came out with flesh

her white gown, was reaped with every whip, now it was hard to tell if her gown was white or red

the pain was so much that she couldn't cry, only tears streamed down from her face

"today I'll kill you myself, go and say hi to your worthless mother" Celine wasn't planning on stopping, well not until she dies

but as she kept whipping her, there was a knock on the door

She stopped reluctantly, and went to open the door

"what is it?" she asked the maid

"Ma..Ma'am th..there "

"speak up already" she shouted

"there are thieves..they broke in" The maid said while trembling in fear

"what do you mean?"

"they've entered the house ..and our men are out numbered by them"

"what?, how can this be?!" Maria uttered

"they are outside, fighting with our men"

Hearing this shocking news, Celine along with her mother, rushed out in a hurry

The girl laying on the floor, barely struggled to get up, her white dress which was now red from the blood, barely covered her body

But all that didn't matter to her, now all her eyes were on the door, which was left open

A flash of hope crossed her eyes, she didn't believe it

Today the door was left open, for all these years, not even for a second has the door ever left open

but today, it was like God is giving her a chance, a chance to get out of this hell hole

the hole that, she has been putting up with, a hole she couldn't escape from, though she wanted so badly, but today that chance, was right in front of her

dragging her legs, she held herself with the remaining strength she had on her

with the help of the walls,

and finally, she got out of the room
