Chapter 70: Her past (3)
“This went on for three years. Until one night. I was ten that year.”, she clenched her dress. This was the most traumatic part of her life she was going to share.
She trembled. Liu Jinhai clenched his hands into fists.
Flashback
Nana was sleeping in her room when the door opened. It was one in the morning. The footsteps woke her up and she was surprised to see her dad.
He slowly came to her and sat by her side. He had a dead look in his eyes. Like he was tired of running away from something. She got worried but before she could ask, he started caressing her face.
“Dad…are you okay?”, a ten-year-old Nana asked in concern. But she was feeling uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her and now touching her. She felt something was wrong.
He was smiling. He then suddenly traced his finger across her lower lip.
She jolted.
“D-dad, what’s wrong?”, she gulped. For the first time in her whole seven years of living with him, she sensed an air of danger now.
He didn’t seem to hear her and he traced his finger down her neckline.
Nana was now genuinely petrified. Why is he suddenly doing this? What happened? She was on the verge of crying. This man before her who she loved him as her father all this time now scared her. She felt like she didn’t know him at all.
Yu Tengfei then suddenly pushed her on the bed. He trapped her in between his arms.
“Dad!”, she screamed but he muffled her mouth.
“Mmph Mmph!”, she tried to struggle. She was frantically flailing her arms and legs to push him off her but he tightly held her in his grip. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She was not that young to not know what was happening with her. She was terrified of what going to come next.
Slowly, he lifted her shirt and started moving his hand along her waist up to her back.
Nana felt disgusted. She wanted to shout and scream but he had so tightly blocked her mouth with his hand that not even a whimper came out.
No..no..please. Don’t do this. I beg you, she cried silently.
He bent down towards her face but she quickly turned to another side. He gripped her jaw and forced her to look at him. He bent and kissed her cheek.
She tightly shut her eyes. Words weren’t enough to describe her pain and disgust. This man who gave her an identity, a place to call home and who laughed with her while telling stories to her when she sat on his lap was sexually abusing her. What went wrong? Why did everything change so drastically?
Her whole body started trembling. She was having a panic attack.
“Nee-chan..”, the twins pushed the door and called in unison rubbing their eyes.
“We want to sleep with Nee-chan.”
They went inside and saw the horrific scene in front of them. Their father on top of their sister. Even though they were only five, they were intelligent. They instantly knew he was doing something very wrong to Nana. It was such a compromising position. They saw her crying and struggling.
Nana was shocked seeing the twins. They were so young. What will they think?
Both of them ran towards Yu Tengfei and started pushing him.
“Bad daddy! Bad daddy! Leave our sister now!”, Yukito started to cry.
Yukira also pushed him with his tiny hands. “Get off her! Can’t you see you are making her cry!? And fathers never make their daughters cry.”
“Weren’t you the one who said how every father treats his girl as a princess. Then why are you doing this now?”, Yukito wailed.
“Bad daddy. We will protect our Nee-chan from you.”
But he did not budge.
“Go away!!”, they both shouted and gave him a hard push.
Yu Tengfei lost his balance and fell down.
Nana gasped and took a mouthful of air. She was finally free. She got up and started panting heavily. All this time she was feeling suffocated.
The twins came crying to her.
Yukira sniffled, “Nee-chan…Why did daddy become the villian?”
Yukito rubbed his eyes, “He was our hero right? What was he doing? You were crying so much.”
“We felt scared of him.”
Nana immediately took them in her arms and tightly hugged them. Finally, she cried the tears she was holding back for so long while also trying to pacify them.
Yu Ichika came hearing all the crying and yelling.
“What’s wrong? Why are you making so much noise?”, she saw the state they were all in and froze. Nana’s clothes were disheveled and her husband was on the floor. The twins were crying in her arms.
“W-what happened? Why are you all in this condition?”
Yu Tengfei seemed to snap back to his senses. He realized what he had done. But, he didn’t try to defend himself.
As a woman how could she not understand what just took place there? But she refused to believe. She had known her husband for so long. It just wasn’t possible for him to do that.
No…no-no…it’s not what I’m thinking. How can it be? Nana is our daughter and he loves her as a daughter only. How can there be any other feelings?
She was finally living a happy life with her husband and children after going through that horrible phase. Everything was perfect in her life now. She didn’t want anything to jeopardize it at any cost.
