Damaged

It's been a week since Layla has been expecting the school letter but she hasn't gotten it. And she was starting to get worried because saphira already got hers.

So one afternoon when she passed by the study she heard words that shocked her entire existence.

In the study, Alice sat on the couch facing Ben as she said I just got a mail, seems like that b*tch got some scholarship to phantom high school.

She is trying to leave this house, and don't think I don't know the tricks you and Matthew have been pulling.

Even if she is not my daughter, you've got no right to make her your wh*re.

Shut it Alice before I make you do, when I do things you've got no right to question me said Ben sternly.

And about her going to school act like as if you didn't get the mail just as Ben continued talking he had something crashing on the flower vase.

He went to the door and noticed Layla eavesdropping he said I just wanted you to be a little canary with some freedom but it seems like you'd need a cage.

Hearing Ben say the word cage brought a certain memory that she never wants to remember. A memory that she locked somewhere at the back of her mind. A memory that started the damages.

~four years ago~

An eleven years old Layla can be seen in a cagein a dark room, her lips are chapped showing lack of water. Ben entered the room and started touching her young body as he tortured her with some equipment.

As she screamed from the severe pain being inflicted to her body, he was laughing.

Will you ever try to run away again he asked and she said no but he didn't stop, he kept on torturing and telling her that she belonged to him and no one can save her . After several hours he left an unconscious Layla in the dark room.

For a week she got no food and just little amount of water. They had to call the family doctor after Alice found her almost dead.

So immediately she heard him talking about a cage she ran, not looking back trying to escape from this hellish place and family.

She ran without a certain direction until she was fell unconscious due to a collision with a car.

Luke was shocked to see the girl that he had been investigating about due to her complete resemblance to his mum.

He rushed her to the hospital where a group of doctors were already waiting. He told them to save her life by all cost and means.

In an elegant office, a man who has a shocking resemblance to Layla can be seen checking some files when he suddenly stopped at the picture of a girl.

Luke was shocked to see the picture of Layla in the list of student seeking scholarship in his school, reminding him of his long lost sister.

So he immediately called his assistant to investigate everything about her mostly her parents and how she was doing.

The results he got was depressing and he was more sure that she was his long lost sister.

He didn't tell his parent especially his mum who depression has taken a toll on her body.

After the investigation he approved her for the scholarship but never got any news from her even after sending a mail. For the past week Luke has been cranky due to Layla not showing up at school. On his way to check on a project, a girl collided with his and was knocked unconscious. Seeing it was Layla

he immediately took her to the family group hospital and he was sure his parents were notified already. So after a DNA test showing the blood relation he told his parents and grandparents who came running to check up on her.

Sarah Layla's biological mum was very happy that she fainted due to over excitement.
