Chapter 370: The urge to fight back
Elliana gasped.
Her mind was going in denial. This couldn’t happen to her.
So many bad things happened to her. She has taken the physical abuse to a level where the thought of dying looked like a better option, and she would’ve done so if not for her will to live and find her mother, and ask why she left her in this cursed world all alone.
Why did she give birth to her if she didn’t want her either and why the hell has she not tried to check on her even once after she practically threw her out of her life? Why didn’t she abort her the moment she found out about her?
Elliana has suffered many things.
However, what her stepmother was trying to do topped it all today.
’We can’t take it anymore. This is inhumane. You don’t need to suffer all this, Princess. We don’t need your orders to do something. Let us crush this woman and show her who she is messing with,’ Circe growled as they saw their human struggling under Marla’s hold, trying her best to flail her legs.
Elliana sobbed even more helplessly.
’No. You won’t do anything. I can’t have her find out about my identity. If she did, the peace treaty would be out of the question. Only 23 days are left. I can only have his love and care for 23 more days before he leaves me for good,’ Elliana thought, her heart aching even more.
’I can’t let anything happen that will take away my only chance at love and happiness, that will snatch him away from me earlier than the decided time. Please I beg you, Circe. Please don’t do anything that will snatch him away from me,’ Elliana shed more tears, her eyes widening when Marla moved the stick.
"Mmmmhhhhh!" Elliana tried to scream, but the drop of blood rolled down her thighs, making her wince and cry in pain.
