The backyard was covered in orange and pinkish light as the sun dipped low at 5:30 pm
A beautiful happy family. daughter, mom and dad Living happily together. Their family was kindest and sweetest family ever to exist. Nothing missing in life food , love, money nothing.
Nine-year-old Ella giggled, twirling in circles with her beloved doll, 'Princess Sparkles,' clutched tightly in her arms'.
Dad was still at office doing work.
Nearby, Maria smiled softly, watering the blooming flowers with a gentle touch, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the gate.
Ella asked – "where is daddy ?"
'dad will be home soon, Ella,' Maria said, her voice warm as honey.
Ella's eyes sparkled – she smiled' and got back to play with her doll.
*Enters the gate *
"Daddy came, daddy came'' Ella shouted.
"You're here leo... Welcome home" Maria welcomed him sweetly while watering plants.
"Uh... yeah...Maria.,, yeah I came but I wanted say.. I'm sorry....." Leo said in hesitation.
"For what ?" Maria asked confusingly.
"I got betrayed by our partners MATTEOs and even the main boss of this partnership who is not matteo and is a main shareholder didn't do anything" he said with a long face looking down.
"Betrayed ??" She asked. In shock she dropped her spray bottle.
"How could they do that ? You did such a hard work just for them to leave and betray you ?" She accused looking very sad and angry.
"I'm so sorry" he said while taking a step back.
"It's fine , although it's not your fault" she assured giving a forced smile.
"Well....." He hesitated.
"I am cheating on you , I love someone else" he confesed and closed his eyes.
*Maria shocked*
She collapsed on the floor , crying.
Ella watching everything , confused and worried for her mom.
Then suddenly , Maria collapsed on the floor and started crying like crazy. Banging her head on the walls. Her head started to bleed and her hands were shaking. Her whole body was trembling.
Suddenly she stood up and wiped her tears and said " you are joking right ? Haa ? Please tell me you are joking please !!" In a psycho tone while holding his collar.
"No I'm not , look at yourself , no one would've married you , I was with you for money but your dad gave nothing , forget dowry not even a gift. You are not even pretty." He and threw her in floor .
She sat up and started crying
"you took our peace , dignity, money and now you took ella's childhood happiness,Who the hell is that bitch who became your mistress ??"
*Slap*
"Maria mind your language, how dare you curse her like that. she is not a mistress, she is the love of my life. You and your daughter are just burden to me ! "
Wounds all over Maria's body looked so terrifying.
Ella started crying so hard after watching her mom like this.
"Bitch , you took my husband , my peace and ruined a happy family , go to the hell , may god give you terrifying death!" Maria cursed leo's mistress.
Leo got insanely mad and took a steel rod and started beating her so hard that she got numb and couldn't get up anymore. She fainted.
( Author cried writing this scene , it's so ruthless , poor lady 🥺)
*Leo left tapping his legs madly on the floor*
Ella ran to her uncle's house next street..crying so hard.
"Uncle open the door mom is hurt... Uncle !!!"
She shouted infront of uncle's door.
"OMG what happened child ??" Uncle asked worriedly.
"Dad hurted mom he threw her in floor , slapped her and then he beaten her with a rod" saying she started crying.
"Shh... It's fine , it's fine , uncle is here let's go take your mom to the hospital okay ?" Uncle said in soft tone.
She nodded while wiping her tears.
Then Richard ( ella's uncle) came running and took Maria to the hospital.
*In the hospital room*
Maria was lying in bed.
*Nurse - her wounds are very deep, her heart was also very damaged , there are many changes that she can have a heart attack because of only a small noise or any kind of pressure emotional, psycological or physical, we need to do surgery as soon as possible.*
"Okay ,nurse." Richard said with blank face.
"What happened to mom ?" Ella said while sitting beside her mom in the hospital bed and looking sadly at her mom.
"Nothing kidoo... It's just some wounds that's it She'll be fine soon." He said while smilling.
"Uncle... Where did daddy go ?" Ella asked innocently.
"Hey listen kid... Your dad is a bad guy, you have to avoid him , he Hates your mom , even beats her." He warned her while taking her hands.
"But I love daddy ?" She asked sadly.
"I know but he doesn't love you !" He said warning her softly.
"Okay uncle as you say just keep my mom safe" she demanded innocently.
"Sure boss". He said.
*Her mom woke up*
"Ella ?" Maria called out for Ella.
"Mummy you woke up !" She hugged her mom
"I'm fine baby , how are you ? Did that man hurt you ?" She asked worriedly looking at her body for wounds.
"No he didn't mom , I'm fine. But mom is it true what he said , does he really have a stepmom? She asked sadly with innocent big and sad eyes .

"PROMISE ?" leo asked pointing his knife towards Maria.
"PROMISE PROMISE ! , we'll leave as soon as I get discharged." Maria said terrified.
"Fine then I'll go , but you better keep your promise !" Leo said while heading outside the hospital room.
Ella hugged her mom so tightly and started crying. Her mom claimed her down.
Ella slept after some time.
*Richard came with food after few minutes."
"Did something happened? You look pale " he asked giving Maria water.
"Leo came with a KNIFE and said he wanna kill us so we won't become obstacles in his life" she said blankly.
"Wtf ? , let's just go to the police station it's too much we can give cctv footage as proof!" Richard suggested while pointing towards cctv in a corner.
"Leave it , I don't want Ella to face more problems in such a young age , he said if u leave this city, he'll leave us alone." Maria said looking concerned for Ella.
*A year passed just like that, her mom is getting weak days by days*
She don't even celebrate any festivals not her birthday and eats the food her uncle give daily.
One day.....
At home, Her mom is sleeping on the bed and she is playing near her mom in the floor.
*Knock knock*
"Mom , someone is at the door." She told her mom after waking her up.
"Wait in the room , let me see and don't come before I call you !. " Her mom stood up and spoke weakly.
Ella on the door of her room eavesdropping.
She hearted someone shouting and arguing with her mom.
She opened the door and tried to peek and saw someone with a black mask, many scars on hand and wearing black suit like a bodygaurd with a knife threatning her mom, and arguing.
Suddenly his knife head towards Maria and he started laughing like a devil.
She ran towards that man with her doll and threw it on that man's face.
It was so sudden , so he was shocked and dropped the knife.
Ella's heart is racing because of that scary mans appearance....
- Little Ella, 9 years old, standing with her weak mom , scared.
- The unknown scary man who wants something from both of them.
The man takes a step closer, and Maria tries to push Ella behind her, but she's too weak...
"Who are you? What do you want with my mom ?" Ella looks up at the man with big scared eyes and asks in a tiny voice.
"So you are that tiny bastard boss told to kidnapp." He said with a scary tone.
"See child... My boss wants you but your mom was just saying you are not here so I threatened her." He claimed.
"Wh..who...who wants me ?" She asked terrified.
"It's a surprise , now come with me." He said while holding her hand and taking her in the car forcefully.
*He tied a black cloth on her eyes*
He drove for hours and then suddenly stopped the car and took ella out for forcefully.

LUNA's POV :-
~ A nine year old kid with beautiful face and sweet personality - luna.
That kid's innocence lost the day she witnessed her mom , dad and half sibling's death in front of her eyes.
On a beautiful evening, 6:40 pm , sun was setting down.
Luna was in her room waiting for her mom to come back from work .
She hasn't came home for 10 whole months. She made an excuse that she is going to live with her parents for some days so that no one question her.
Her dad was in the lobby downstairs watching television.
She suddenly heard door Bell ringing , she ran to the door to see her mom.
Her mom came with a pregnant belly. Her dad was so clueless.
"What's this Janice ? .... Is it a prank or something ?" Her dad asked casually.
"No it's not. I really am 5 months pregnant." Her mom answered.
" What !? So you cheated on me ?" Her dad asked worriedly.
"Ummm... Yes." She said.
"Very nice.... So what about us then huh ? You daughter take her with you too, I don't want you both in my house !" He shouted, every words showed how angry he was.
"Why ? She is your daughter, don't send her off with me and increase my responsibility" she said angrily.
Luna started crying while watching her parents argue.
*Slap*
Her mom slapped her.
"If you don't want to have her just send her off to an orphanage." She said rolling her eyes and stepping out of the door.
"If you wanna live with me , you have to do as I say" he said heading towards his room.
Luna went to her room crying , and cried all night.
Her innocence disappeared that day.
She decided She'll take revenge on who cheated with her mom , mother and father.
~ "Your happiness was my family's grave now your tears will be my revenge"
_________________________________________
ELLA'S POV :-
~ I couldn't see anything because of that cloth on my eyes, then someone forcefully made me enter a room.
I could hear only one person. His voice was terrifying it gave me chills.
Someone untied that cloth. And I saw that man..... He was uncle george , dad's friend and buisness partner.
"Uncle... Save me !" I shouted.
"Save you ..... Haha funny" he said laughing bitterly.
"What do you mean uncle ?" I asked innocently.
"Your dad has our important information, he is threatning us after we took everything from him. Now you are then one who can help us getting that information". He said.
"Me ?" I asked.
"Yes , you are his daughter, and he'll come to save you at any cost . And we'll demand that information in exchange of you". He said.
"He won't come..uncle said he Hates us and cheated on mom with a stepmom and left us." I said.
I didn't wanted to cry but tears falled down on its own after telling what dad did.
I loved him so much but my love was useless for him. My mom is now weak and powerless just because of him. She did everything she could just for him to cheat on her.
I fucking hate liars & cheaters.
"Now you just have to wait... you'll be released after your dad arrives." He said smiling a bit.
"Okay." She said blankly.
He dialed a number.
" Leo you have the information that belongs to me, now something of yours is with me.... Your daughter." He said mischievously.
"Well... I don't care dude just do whatever you want but I won't let you have that information after what you did to me , and for your kind information I left that family !" He said madly.
Although I decided I won't cry for that fucking liar but my tears were just falling on its own.
And suddenly george got a phone call , he was scared. "I'm sorry boss , I won't do that again, I thought It would be easy, okay then I'll kill." He said.
Dude wtf seriously???? , noo !!! I don't wanna die , I didn't even got a chance to take my revenge!!.
