Kidnapped/forced. 1

### **Araya's POV**

A sharp pain pierced my heart as tears streamed down my face like an unstoppable waterfall.

I never expected Yang to treat me this way. It was too harsh to believe. Life is cruel and wicked.

I felt helpless...

I felt weak...

Pathetic and exhausted, my legs stiffened as I pushed Asher's stroller forward. A part of me wanted to collapse on the ground and let it swallow me whole, but I couldn't. I had Asher.

Harshly wiping my tears, I looked up and spotted Ash among her friends, their voices filling the air with cheerful chatter. She looked so happy, her excitement radiating from her smile.

I swallowed hard, quickly wiping my tears as her black eyes met mine.

**"Sister!"**

She bid her friends goodbye and hurried toward me. I forced a weak smile.

**"What are you doing here? We just finished dance practice. I didn't expect to see you."** She picked up Asher, who immediately woke up with a soft whimper.
