"What the hell do you want me to do this time, Pa? Everything I do disappoints you. Even if I do something now, it will still be useless to you. Will I ever be able to make you proud?" By the sound of her voice, Pearl could tell that Venus was at the edge of crying. Her throat became dry hearing those words that were filled with pain.

If Pearl could get these chains off, then she would've shielded Venus from every slap. She didn't mind taking all the pain only to protect her. Venus already had enough.

The shouting between father and daughter continued for a while before the door of the living room was slam shut again, indicating that the leader of the minor family had finally left.

Venus couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a loud growl. She began to destroy everything that was around her, hoping to lent out her anger this way. But not matter how many items she crashed onto the floor, the seething affliction didn't seem to cease at all.

Pearl was still standing by the door, hearing the disaster that was happening downstairs. It was like an earthquake but without the ground shuddering. It went on like this for like a minute before the dead silence kicked in.

It was too quiet for a moment until the noise of the microwave sounded abruptly in the distance. Pearl took a few deep breaths, trying to settle back down from the shock and then sat back down on the bed, waiting for Venus to come to her like she always did.

Pearl immediately looked up with concern as soon as Venus entered the bedroom without uttering a single word. She sat down beside her on the bed, holding a bowl of pre-heated chicken soup from the other day. She couldn't give Pearl her favorite dish anymore because it was all ruined, and this was all that was left on the fridge for lunch.

Venus turned her head to meet eyes with Pearl before she broke the silence first, "What are you looking at? Just eat it. This is all I have for today."

Pearl glanced at the bowl for a moment and then back at Venus, whose face was all bruised again from the beating she had received earlier. "Are you okay? If it hurts, then I can help you put the ointment on-"

"Are you going to eat or not?" Venus cut her off, not wanting to bring the subject back up. She didn't want to think about her father right now.

"Venus..." Pearl mumbled as she reached out with a hand to hold the side of Venus' face. It broke her heart seeing her like this. It hurt so fucking much. "You can talk to me, you know?"

Venus shook her head, pulling Pearl's hand away from her cheek. "Just leave me alone. I don't want to talk about it." Tears formed in her soft emerald eyes, and her voice began to quiver slightly.

"Is this the way you're going to live for the rest of your life? Are you going to tolerate this until you die of depression? This is unfair, Venus. You're being abused." Pearl was speaking in a serious tone of voice. "Give yourself to the major family. Your uncle is not cruel like your father. You're going to be better off with them."

Venus tightened her grip on the bowl that she was still holding towards Pearl. Her patience was running out of the limit. "Isn't my fucking life like this because of them?" She raised her voice louder this time. "Can't you see that this is all the main family's fault?!"

There was complete silence for a few seconds before Pearl spoke up again, "It's up to you, Venus. This is your choice. You decide whatever you want to do with your life. I'm just trying to give you some advice."

A deep sigh escaped from Venus' mouth as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Her gaze was filled with killing intent as she lowered her head down. Strands of hairs covering her face in a sinister way, causing the atmosphere to become gloomy between them.
