Bab 7: Chapter 6

Katherina Blackwood's POV

I cried silently at the image of my dead parents and sister. I've felt pain before, but nothing like this. An irreparable void took its place in my heart and the pain became a barrier as my mind raced up to the guilt trip instead of stabilizing me to escape from this place the man dragged me in and locked behind before I got get out. The windows had railings, and my effort of trying to break the thick timber door resulted futile. Pain and fear were both treacherous and I just wrapped my arms around my knees, sitting on the cold floor and crying silently in the empty room.

The loneliness was seeping into me, the loneliness of not having a family anymore and that I am alone in this world, thrown at the feet of a devil.
