“Sienna, you must be absurd if you think we are just going to let you move out like this, you and Mr Arcin are not even officially engaged, what are you trying to put the family name in the ground?” my mother yells in my face as I hold back the urge to retaliate a response that will surely leave her in tears.

“We are to be married, whether you like it or not mother, I am bound to leave this house sooner or later, so if my fiancée wants me to be by his side until the wedding is due, I don’t see what the problem is, I am not a little girl anymore, I can make my own decisions.”

“I said what I said, Sienna, don’t you dare defy me” she glares daggers into my soul, interrupting this lovely once in a while family dinner.

Speaking of family dinner, I have no idea why Adonis is seated among us, he isn’t part of the family and yet he is always hauled up in Aisha’s room, spending countless nights here, and in response, my mother turns a blind eye as if she doesn’t see what it is they’re doing, Aisha will be 19 soon, with no ambitions, no goals and just existing to kiss all their asses, it is honestly a shame that we’re related.

“Mother, in case you have forgotten, I belong to Mr Arcin now, every fibre of my being is his possession, due to how all of you auctioned me off the other day as if I was nothing but a mere object” I eye her as both her and my father avoid my gaze, a pained expression visible on his features. “Anyways...” I continue “Eros was infatuated with me and I got lucky I guess, so if you think it’s a good idea to deny him his right to take what belongs to him, you are probably risking the good ties you have with the Arcin legacy and you especially, don’t get to tell me what to do”

She glares at me infuriated as she breaks into tears.
“Sienna, I am your mother, how dare you speak to me like that? just because you got all you wanted all your life, defying the ancient rules and protocols of our town, doesn’t mean you’re any better than any of us” she cries into her hands.

I watch, with no regrets for my words as Adonis stands to his feet, his eyes locking with mine as he shakes his head, disappointed, “Sienna, this is your mother, you should be ashamed of yourself for speaking to her like that” he says, crouching down beside her as he brings his handkerchief to wipe away her fake tears.

“I-”

“Enough! can’t we just have peace and quiet for the rest of the evening?” my father interjects, suddenly sounding annoyed.

“All of you are constantly complaining about how I never join any family dinners but when I do, its always a catfight between the two of you, Natalia, can you not pressure her to do what she doesn’t want to, Arcin is a powerful man, he’s got connections, even more than me, we can’t deny him” he gazes at her before turning to me.

“And you, Sienna, no matter how angry you are, she remains your mother, you cannot speak to her like that” he sighs heavily, clicking his tongue before excusing himself and leaving the table.

“Honey, honey I’m sorry, please come back, at least finish your food” my mother chases after him as he exits the room, rubbing his temple stressfully.

“Happy now?” Aisha butts in, glaring at me as she locks her hand around Adonis’ arm, helping him to his feet.
“Why can’t you do all of us a favour and just off yourself, literally nobody wants you here” she yells in my face as he holds her back from stepping any closer than she already is.

“You’re ruining this family, father is always stressed because of you, you keep on making mother’s life miserable and you’re so jealous about my relationship with your betrothed that you think it’s necessary to destroy this bond me and him have established, Sienna literally fall and die, nobody wants you, even that Arcin took you out of pity, don’t tell me you believed that he would actually want someone as nauseating as you-”

“Come on Aisha, that’s enough-” Adonis tries to butt in, pulling her away from me.
“Don’t interrupt me when I’m speaking with my sister, Adonis” she yells in his face as he lifts his hands in defeat, taking a few steps back.

“If you have even the smallest amount of sympathy for your father, for how much you make the both of them regret having you, then...” she slips her hand into the back pocket of Adonis’ jeans, pulling out his pistol.

“Then do us all a favour and end your existence right now, shove the barrel down your throat and free us from your torturing existence, you don’t understand how much I hate you, sister, how much all of us do” she eyes me, a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips “go on, do it, you might enjoy it too” she shoves it into my hands as I push away my tears.

“Stop it” my voice breaks out in a whisper.

“Aisha, stop it, this isn’t funny anymore” he attempts to take the gun from my hands, but she pushes him back.

“Hush baby, don’t you hate her as well?, how she overpassed you in all academic fields, how she humiliated you the day of the auction, how she challenges you for simply being perfect” I watch as she brainwashes him, cupping his face between her hands as he falters in his step.

“Do it, sis, what is holding you back? is it Eros? do you think that Eros really likes you, that he is going to support your delusional plans for the future? you humour me” she chuckles bringing her hand to tilt my chin up, locking my gaze with hers.

I choke back a sob as the tears break through the barrier, blurring my vision as they run loose.

“Oh, look at how pathetic you are...he is going to break you” she hisses.

“S-stop it” I cry, pushing her away as she giggles maniacally.

“Do it, big sis, what are you so afraid of?, are you scared that someone might miss you?, well I can assure you nobody is going to, well...maybe except for Mr Arcin, since he spent such a big fortune on you’re useless being, the man must have been really desperate to get a taste of you before he tosses you away, that is” she laughs, throwing her head back as her evilness echoes throughout the room.

“Nobody wants you, with or without father’s influence, they all want your body, all of father’s friends, the whole town, even Eros, they want a woman with a beautiful body who can sit quietly and take all the built-up frustration they can remove on them at the end of a tough day at work.

In our world, you lose your purity at a young age, but look at you, all grown up and you haven’t even become a woman yet, I’m younger than you and yet I know how to have my way with men way better than you do, it’s almost ridiculous” she scoffs before returning her attention to Adonis.

“Baby, remember that blonde blue-eyed guy in your former class? the one you were always hanging with? oh yeah, he’s a horrible person” she laughs, making my nerves stand on end as my eyes widen.

“It’s funny how the only person who wanted you and was bold enough to act on it was that Trevor foyers who had to resort to force to take advantage of your depressing excuse of a life.” she laughs in my face.

“Do you remember it?, how I found him doing all those horrible things to you in the storage room at father’s annual new year’s party?” she smirks as I cry into my hands, my breaths coming out short and restricted.

“Do you remember it, sis? how you were trying to scream, trying to escape his hold?
How he took away your purity as I watched helplessly?
wanna know why I didn’t help you?” she grits her teeth, spitting her words in my face.

“Because I fücking hate you so much, I hate you for existing, I hate you with all of my heart and I loved every moment, watching as you called to me for help when he wouldn’t let you go.

How you threw up for days after the incident and how mother and father had no clue about it, I hope it happens to you, again and again until-”

“Aisha, what the fück is wrong with you?” Adonis shouts at her, anger is present on his face as he clenches his jaw.

“How could you do and say something so...inhumane, is there something wrong with you ?” he yells, grabbing her by the shoulders as the disgusting memories slip into my brain, reminding me of that horrible night.

I know I shouldn’t let her meaningless words get to me, but regardless of that, it hurts so much, it hurts that my own blood sister hates me so much.
It hurts that I managed to forgive her even after all she’s done to me.

I’m crying into my hands when the noise of faltering footsteps sound behind me, I watch as Aisha’s laughter comes to a pause, a terrified expression taking over her face, Adonis is glaring at her, bewildered before his gaze falls on the door as well, his eyes slightly widening.

I follow their terrified looks, glancing at the door to be met with an ice-cold stare, he is standing there, Eros’ terrifying gaze sending shivers down my spine.

He drops the suitcases in his hands, his gaze travelling from me to Aisha, to the gun in my shaking hands.
Me, Aisha, the gun between my hands.

Over and over before they settle on me, his gaze following the tears running down my face.

And then he turns to Aisha, his eyes filled with the intent to kill.
