The kid was kicking and screaming, making it impossible for Ellinor to control him. She had no choice
but to put him down again, “Fine, we’ll stay put for now. Chill here for a bit longer”
Baber was back on the ground, retreating to a corner like he’d seen a ghost, curling up into a ball, and
hugging his knees tightly.
Ellinor looked at his pathetic state, and her brow furrowed, “I’ll be out of here soon. How long do you
think you can hide here by yourself? What will you do if you get hungry or thirsty? The Howards will find
you sooner or later.”
The word find sent shivers down Baber’s spine, scaring the hell out of him.
Ellinor couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. She’d been in his shoes, alone and helpless.
Her unreliable mother had entrusted her to Arnold Mendoza out of desperation. However, Arnold
dumped her with country relatives instead.
At the Mendozas’ country relatives’ house, she was even more of an outsider. They only took her in to
get Arnold’s monthly child support.
It turned out that Arnold only paid for two months and never did so again.
From then on, the relatives treated her even worse, not even letting her share meals.
The village kids knew she was an unwanted child and made a game of picking on her.
She was often bullied by older kids because no one cared about her and no one would stand up for
her, not even to call the cops.
Once, she was pranked by the relatives’ kids and pushed into a dried-up well at the edge of the village.
She was stuck there for three days and nights, and her cries for help went unheard.
She still felt sick thinking about that fear, desperation, and helplessness.
She was gone for three full days and nights, and not a single relative came looking for her. They were
glad to have her gone; at least they could save some food.
In the end, a passing photographer found her and pulled her out of the well. He publicized her ordeal,
sparking a public outcry.
The relatives were condemned online and accused by their neighbors. They hated her even more but
couldn’t do anything because of the public pressure. Once the fuss died down, they sent her off to a
convent.
The convent was a quiet place. The meals were bland but better than the scraps her relatives gave her.
No one bullied her there.
Karan from the convent was nice, and she cared a lot about her.
She taught her self-defense and borrowed money for Ellinor’s schooling, giving her a chance to thrive.
After high school, she started winning scholarships and secretly running her own small business.
Once she made money, she repaid Karan, renovated the convent, and made sure those who bullied
her got their just desserts.
Looking back, she’d suffered, but she was also lucky.
A righteous photographer saved her when she was near death.
Someone gave her a home and even borrowed money for her education when she was rejected by her
relatives.
But now, this kid called Baber, younger than she was back then, was completely helpless.
He was trapped in the Howard family, an upper-crust household where his treatment wouldn’t draw any
public attention.
He couldn’t even speak clearly to express his ordeal and was left at Patricia’s mercy.
He couldn’t escape.
How could a kid escape the Howards and escape Patricia?
If this kid couldn’t find a savior, then she was willing to be his savior
