146 Her Trauma

Lana again heard the screaming voice of that man, threatening her biological mother.

"Bi*ch come here! I said give me more money!" The recollection of that voice made Lana tremble. She again saw that little girl, trembling just like her, sitting in the closet and peeping from a small opening of the closet. She witnessed that monstrous man hit her mother left and right, barbarically, not minding where she fell and how she got hurt.

''Run!'' Lana, who was sitting on the floor of the elevator, shouted to her mother, wanting her to run away and save her life... but she stayed there like a moron. Not fighting back… Giving everything she got to that man, whom she loved unconditionally.

"Why don't you run away? He will kill you… run! run… run!" Lana's sobs started turning into wails and she kept on repeating her words.

And suddenly, she saw her mother's body slumped on the floor and blood flooding out from her head.
