For what reason did she suffer?

Ariel was silent. She couldn't say that that wasn't one of her speculations but she just decided to bring out the most unrealistic tale. Her heart was trying to censor the truth.

An illegitimate child. In other words, that man who always threw a blind eye at what his wife and kids did to her on a daily basis and even glared at her in disdain, was actually her real father.

Her back, which had stayed straightened the whole time, suddenly felt weak and painful and so she slumped back in the chair.

And just because she was an Illegitimate child, they treated her like she was a disgusting mutant species.

She always knew it didn't make sense that she was merely adopted and treated that way. They already had a daughter who was four years old before taking her in, so it didn't make sense.

"It's true that you have the blood of that family flowing through your veins." Raymond suddenly said and she looked up.
