Chapter 3 Her father - a man in his fifties with graying hair, was being forced to his knees by a group of bodyguards . And on his back sat Milena , cracking a whip against him as if training a dog . " C'mon , old man , crawl ! You can't even crawl , then what good are you ? " Hazel's blood boiled . Without hesitation , she rushed over and pulled Milena down . Then she slapped her hard . " How dare you hit me ? Do you know what you're doing ? " Milena was stunned , staring at Hazel in disbelief . But Hazel ignored her and distressed , helped her father to his feet , " I'm sorry , Dad . I should've come sooner . " Just then , the door opened . Vincent walked in , carrying breakfast he'd personally made for Milena . The moment Milena saw him , she ran to him like a wounded child . " Vincent ! Look what that horrible woman did to me ! My face hurts so much . " - Milena's skin was fair too fair . The slap Hazel had given her wasn't even that hard , yet it was still extremely red and swollen . Vincent's face darkened instantly . He ordered someone to hold Hazel down , then turned and had Milena return the slap herself . He ignored Hazel's explanations and said coldly , " No one can bully Milena in my territory . " Hearing this , Milena approached Hazel with even greater pride . One slap , two slaps ... She slapped her ten times before finally stopping , satisfied . Hazel who had initially struggled , finally became numb . Her entire face was red and swollen and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth . But Vincent didn't even flinch . Instead , he took Milena's hand and gently massaged it . " You hit her so hard , " he murmured . " Don't you feel any pain ? " Seeing this , Hazel's already broken heart began to ache uncontrollably again . So did her father . He struggled against the guards , desperate to reach her , but it was useless .

But Vincent was unable to persuade her , so he had no choice but to cruelly order Hazel to be thrown into the basement . " If she wants to be Mrs. Clarke , she'd better learn to act like one . Keep her there for two days so she can reflect on her behavior . " Hazel was thrown like she was trash into the cold , damp basement . For an entire day , no one brought her food or water . When she thought she might actually starve to death , the door creaked open . Milena stepped inside , crouching down with a tray of spoiled leftovers . " Hi , Hazel , I brought you dinner . You must be starving , " Milena said in a sing - song tone . " Want me to feed you ? " Humiliation flooded Hazel's chest . She used her last bit of strength to refuse . " I'd rather die than eat garbage . " Milena's expression twisted into something cruel . She grabbed Hazel's chin , pried her mouth open by force and shoved the rotten food in . Hazel who was furious , pushed Milena away . Then she grabbed the plate and smashed it over that woman's head . Not only that , she also picked up a shard of glass and stepped toward her . - Blood trickled down Milena's forehead . Terrified , she screamed staring at Hazel like she had seen a devil . Vincent rushed over once he heard the noise . By the time he burst into the room , he saw Hazel dragging the shard of glass toward Milena's face . His expression darkened instantly . Without hesitation , he kicked Hazel hard in the gut , sending her flying across the room . " Call the hospital . Tell them to stop all treatment for her sister . " " While for Hazel , keep locking her down here . No food . No water . No one opens that door unless I say so ." Hazel froze . " No - Vincent , please ! " she cried weakly . " You can punish me however you want , but don't stop my sister's treatment ! Please ! " He didn't even look at her . Still holding Milena , he turned and walked out , slamming the door behind him . The heavy door slammed shut , cutting off all light. In the darkness , Hazel felt the warm blood spreading beneath her . Her vision blurred , her strength fading away - until everything went black .
