As I aimed the gun at the shooting targets, my hands trembled under the weight of my father's disdainful gaze, piercing me with disgust.
With a disapproving "tsk," he approached, seizing my jaw tightly before delivering a stinging slap across my face.
As I crumpled to the ground from the force of the blow, he uttered with venom, "A daughter like you is nothing but a shameful stain on our family's name."
As he picked up the fallen gun, surrounded by the silent, stoic figures of the bodyguards, their disapproving glares bore into me, a constant reminder of my perceived weakness and inadequacy.
"Your foolishness knows no bounds," my father sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "To think that a girl as feeble-minded as you could ever aspire to teach anyone anything."

Light filtered in through the closed window, casting eerie shadows around the room, and I realized with relief that it was just a nightmare-a terrifyingly vivid one that left me shaken to the core.
I collapsed back onto my bed, the events of that fateful day replaying in my mind like a cruel film.
I remembered the terror of his actions on that day, the gunshot ringing in my ears, but also the relief of feeling only a graze on my leg and bruises as the bullet missed its mark. Yet, even though I survived physically,
