Chapter 1

Peace Adam is a 27-year-old woman who has always longed for love from her family. Since childhood, she had no one to support or care for her.

This led to struggles with anger, making it hard for her to connect with others. Believing that staying alone would bring peace, she spends most of her time at home, avoiding social interactions.

Her father, David Adam, works in the government council, while her mother, Mercy Adam, manages the household. She has two sisters: Machiel Adam is a year older than Peace Adam, and Camile Adam, who is 4 years younger than Peace Adam.

This is the story of a woman who, as a girl, only wanted love from her family.

<<<<<<--------‐------------------------------------------->>>>>>>>

It was a bright morning, and Peace Adam, just five years old, had just woken up from her sleep. The house she shared with her family was small for five people, but the Adam family managed to live there. Peace and her elder sister attended the well-known King School.

Peace was the mischievous one in the family—always playful and never listening to her parents when they asked her to do things. Unlike her sisters, she loved going outside to play with the other children in her neighborhood. She spent most of her time roaming around with her cute little friends, laughing and having fun. However, whenever she came home after her playtime, she would be scolded by her parents.

Sometimes, she will be misled by the adults in that area, and they will touch her and do things with her in an improper way. She doesn't know that they are doing something improper, because they will say that this was a game. At some point a neighborhood child and a very long-distance relative suggested playing a game with her, and he led her to his terrace. There he suggested playing a game that leads to a sexual game. Where he raped her. This game continues, and he repeated the things twice in the name of the game. 

At one point, due to some misunderstandings and other reasons, her father had a disagreement with the family. Eventually, the Adam family decided to move to a new place closer to Peace's school.

After moving to their new home, Peace Adam continued her studies. However, her father had to shift to a new job, which caused financial struggles for the family. The pressure of meeting basic needs was overwhelming, and even paying for school fees became a challenge.

Peace completed her elementary school and started middle school, while her younger sister had not yet begun her education. Every day brought new challenges, but they tried to make it work.

One day, Peace went to school as usual, but in the middle of the day, she received an unexpected call from the principal. The principal told her she couldn't continue her education unless the school fees were paid. Shocked and upset, Peace stayed in the office room the entire day, crying and hoping her father would come to take her home.

But her father was too busy with work to check on her. Despite her distress, every person who came by comforted her, saying that her father would surely come soon. Meanwhile, her elder sister, unaware of the situation, had her full academic year’s fees paid, and was happily enjoying her studies.

As the day came to an end and other students began to leave, Peace was still waiting for her father. But he never showed up.
