Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Bianca smiled and said, “I don’t know how many years it has been since I last flew a kite. It seems that I haven’t flown a kite since I grew up, but I used to fly them often when I was a child. Thanks to you, I can relive the joy of my childhood today.”

Camryn handed her a kite and said, “I rarely fly kites. When I was a child, my brothers and sisters all had kites, but I didn’t. Even though kites weren’t expensive, my uncle and mother wouldn’t buy one for me. The nanny, who was the kindest to me, made me a kite, but it didn’t fly very high. I treasured it, but Carrie destroyed it after I had only played with it a few times. When I complained to my mother, she scolded both me and my aunt, forbidding her from ever making me another kite.”

“I didn’t have many toys. I only had the ones from before I was two years old. My father bought me a lot of fun toys and many beautiful dolls. My aunt said I loved dolls very much. After my father left, my mother gave all my toys away.”

“When Carrie was born, she got everything she wanted. I envied her so much. Sometimes I would secretly play with her toys. When she found out, she would cry and tell my mother that I had stolen them. My mother wouldn’t listen to my explanation and would just beat me.”

“She beat me very hard. After each beating, I would feel pain for several days. Sometimes the scars on my body took a long time to heal completely. I was so afraid of being beaten that I never touched Carrie’s toys again.”

“Trenton would give me his toys to play with, but I didn’t dare take them because I was afraid of being beaten by my mother. When my aunt was still around, she would save me. After my mother drove her away, no one saved me anymore. Everyone just listened to my mother. Trenton tried to protect me when he was very young, but he was just a child.”
