บท 79: ruined self-esteem

"Don't you want to taste love? Form a family of your own and have children?" Adam said standing beside her but while maintaining a good distance.

"No, I don't want to ruin someone else's life. I know that I am not mentally sane. What if I end up treating my future husband and babies just like how I was treated? What if I lose control one day and say something that might ruin their self-esteem?"

Her doubts told a story itself.

"Who ruined your self-esteem? Who snatched away your precious childhood?" Adam asked.

"Her," one word left her mouth yet she didn't tell what happened, making him curious.

A chuckle left her mouth as if thinking about that same situation that got her here today.

Flashback:

One day the king called his entire family to eat together.

Everyone arrived there nervously.

The crown prince was selected by then. Hence, the king has now stopped beating him as he has to keep him alive.
