Sir Ares, Goodnight

"As I was making my escape, I became a man's target. When he was assaulting me, Ken came chasing after me and killed him. Although it was done in self-defense, Ken was suspected of using excessive force, hence he was sent to prison."

Marilyn sobbed. "I know I don't deserve you because of my horrible past. Like an insect in hell, I tried so hard to struggle and free myself from this terrifying hell, but no one is willing to help me."

Jay closed his eyes, shutting out his sympathy for her and keeping it in the depths of his eyes. Even though she deserved pity, he found her detestable at the same time.

Marilyn murmured, "When I finally met you, I thought that luck had come to me after all the hardships I've suffered. Though who would've thought? Ken is now released from prison and is even forcing me to go back with him..."

At this point, Marilyn lost all control and tears started streaming down her face. "Do you think I want to leave with him after what happened? Just look at the scars on my body, Ben. These are all the scars he left behind!"

Marilyn rolled up her skirt. The ghastly scars on her
