But when she was finally rescued, she found out that her mother had died from shock and grief after hearing about her kidnapping. Since then, she had suffered from depression. At her worst, she had even hurt herself. Even now, she still couldn’t stand being alone in the dark.
Luna gasped for air and ran toward the door, shouting for help as loudly as she could.
She screamed until her voice cracked, but no one came to save her.
The faces of the kidnappers began flashing before her eyes again and everything seemed so dark inside. She screamed and fought wildly just like back then, until a sharp slap hit her face.
When she finally came back to her senses, she was holding a wine bottle, about to throw it at Violet’s head. A crowd had gathered, watching in shock.
The one who slapped her was Morgan.
Seeing her dazed expression, he bit his lip with guilt flashing in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Luna. You were having another episode. I just wanted to calm you down.”
Luna stared at his raised hand in silence, her heart aching.
He had seen her episodes before. In the past, he would hold her tightly and comfort her gently. But now, he used violence instead.
