Prologue

                                    

                                          
The darkened room was shown as it was a glimpse of the aftermath of a disaster. 
A young woman was lying sprawled on the bed, now bleeding and with visible scars that would take weeks to heal. 
Her body was exhausted as her husband came home and started beating her up once again, drunk. 
She attempted to sit up and get herself clean failed a couple of times before gathering all her strength. 
The protruding belly was seen from the tattered nightgown she manage to grab. It was her favorite, but now it will be yet another item of clothing that will end up in the bin. 
She went to take a warm bath, winching in pain as the cuts and bruises touched the warm water making it sting. 
As she saw her reddened skin, her hand  started to rub the protruding belly. 
She is three and reaching her fourth month of pregnancy. She let out a soft sigh and whispered "You are all I have baby. I'm sorry for being a lousy mother" 
She stayed in the tub for a while before going back to bed after dressing in a simple dress. 
She looked at the clock and saw that it's half past 3AM. She let out a soft sigh and finally laid in bed. 
A single tear fell down from her eyes until it started to falls more and more until she fell asleep peacefully. 
She dreamt of a little boy walking hand in hand with her husband. But she was left behind. She tried to call out to them but to her avail it was left on deaf ears. 
She woke up from the alarm that says 7AM. 
She got up, and went to freshen up and headed to the kitchen. She now stays in the servants room while her husband and her new wife stays upstairs in the master bedroom. 
As she went to start on breakfast, making sure the coffee was ready before her husband comes downstairs to head to work,
As she begun making breakfast, her husband came down with Karina, his second wife as they were acting lovingly in front of her. 
She turned away from the couple and hid the tears and placed the plates of food on the table. 
Not until the woman started to choke on her food and pointed her fingers at her. 
Her husband started glaring and accusing her "What did you put in her food?" 
He let the woman go and marched towards her and grabbed her by the wrist "Tell me?" He shouted "Is this how you treat her?" 
She wince in pain as he continue tugging onto her wrist making it blue black
"I didn't" she pleaded "Please let me go. You are hurting me" her husband threw her to the floor and went back to the other woman who she turned to see a devious smile upon her face. 
They heard a grumble as the husband looked at his watch "I'm late" and he grabbed his briefcase and kissed the other woman on her lips and giving her a glare. 
"Don't do anything to her or else you will be punished, understand?" He ask in a forceful manner. 
"Y-yes" Jenny said and the husband, Kevin grunted and left. 
The woman, Karina smiled deviously "Well, get up and make me Pho"
Jenny just obliged and got up and soon made the Vietnamese food being careful. But as she was placing the hot soup to the dining table, Karina purposely tripped her making the scalding soup pour onto her and Karina. 
"Ah. You bitch!" Karina grabbed Jenny by her hair and slammed her to the wooden table. "you just cannot do a simple job. I wish you would die faster. Your presence is a nuisance to me" she hit Jenny over and over again until she started bleeding. 
"I'm sorry. I was clumsy" Jenny pleaded until Karina stopped and pulled her to herself "Good, now go and clean up fast" pushing her to the marble floor.
Jenny obliged as she got up and  started to clean up but the dirty water was kicked by Karina making more mess. 
"Clean that up before MY husband comes back. You don't want to be punished again, right?" 
Jenny continued mopping as she nodded and Karina walked to the living room and started watching TV. 
Jenny continued cleaning up, and was abused by Karina. All day Jenny was patient until it was almost time that Kevin, their husband would be back soon. 
Karina heard the car door opened and shut and quickly went towards Jenny who was cutting some vegetables when Karina took the opportunity to bumped onto Jenny and made herself fall to the floor. 
Jenny who was confused turned towards Karina, forgetting about the knife in her right hand, ask "Oh are you alright?"
And at that exact moment Kevin came in and witness Karina on the floor and Jenny holding the knife 
"What the hell is going on right now? Are you crazy?" He rushed towards Karina helping her up and saw the knife, "Oh now you are rebelling? Okay then" she was then pulled to the bedroom and was abused once again by her husband. 
Jenny laid in bed, in pain as her aching body now couldn't even sit up. She cried herself to sleep knowing tomorrow will be another day. 
But she knew she have to end this. Once and for all. 
For her baby boy.
