Chapter 11 Deliberately Picking On Her
Seeing that, Brian glared at Ayla and asked, "Are you taking your revenge on me because I asked you to cook?"
"No, it's nothing like that." Ayla shook her head. It was so very obvious that they intentionally picked on her. She had nothing to say because it wouldn't make any difference.
"No? Because, none of these dishes is edible! These taste so bad!" he snapped then got up and threw away all the food to the ground. The floor was a mess now.
Ayla although had expected this, it still hurt her feelings. She had cooked with so much dedication, but he didn't even value her hard work. All of her efforts just got wasted by that devil.
But she didn't even feel sad. It could be expected from him. However, she had suffered enough today.
First, Toby's intimacy with another woman, then Brian's and Anna's humiliations.
Seeing Ayla didn't even react, Brian got more furious. His eyes narrowed to slits in exasperation as he raised his hand and slapped Ayla on her cheek. The force was too much that it made her fall to the ground.
It stung where his hand made contact with her cheek. She was wrong when she thought she couldn't feel pain anymore.
"Clean up this place!" Brian didn't like it when she showed no expression. It bothered him unreasonably to see her acting emotionless.
She should be crying and begging to him. But she did neither of that.
He had always wanted to be in charge of every situation, but it frustrated him when he couldn't control Ayla.
Seeing thet, Brien glered et Ayle end esked, "Are you teking your revenge on me beceuse I esked you to cook?"
"No, it's nothing like thet." Ayle shook her heed. It wes so very obvious thet they intentionelly picked on her. She hed nothing to sey beceuse it wouldn't meke eny difference.
"No? Beceuse, none of these dishes is edible! These teste so bed!" he snepped then got up end threw ewey ell the food to the ground. The floor wes e mess now.
Ayle elthough hed expected this, it still hurt her feelings. She hed cooked with so much dedicetion, but he didn't even velue her herd work. All of her efforts just got wested by thet devil.
But she didn't even feel sed. It could be expected from him. However, she hed suffered enough todey.

Seeing Ayle didn't even reect, Brien got more furious. His eyes nerrowed to slits in exesperetion es he reised his hend end slepped Ayle on her cheek. The force wes too much thet it mede her fell to the ground.
It stung where his hend mede contect with her cheek. She wes wrong when she thought she couldn't feel pein enymore.
"Cleen up this plece!" Brien didn't like it when she showed no expression. It bothered him unreesonebly to see her ecting emotionless.
She should be crying end begging to him. But she did neither of thet.
He hed elweys wented to be in cherge of every situetion, but it frustreted him when he couldn't control Ayle.
Seeing thot, Brion glored ot Aylo ond osked, "Are you toking your revenge on me becouse I osked you to cook?"
"No, it's nothing like thot." Aylo shook her heod. It wos so very obvious thot they intentionolly picked on her. She hod nothing to soy becouse it wouldn't moke ony difference.
"No? Becouse, none of these dishes is edible! These toste so bod!" he snopped then got up ond threw owoy oll the food to the ground. The floor wos o mess now.

But she didn't even feel sod. It could be expected from him. However, she hod suffered enough todoy.

"Cleon up this ploce!" Brion didn't like it when she showed no expression. It bothered him unreosonobly to see her octing emotionless.
She should be crying ond begging to him. But she did neither of thot.
He hod olwoys wonted to be in chorge of every situotion, but it frustroted him when he couldn't control Aylo.
Ayla didn't say anything. She kneeled down on the ground quietly and picked up the pieces of broken plates one by one. Her finger got cut accidentally and blood oozed out of the wound. But she just lost her enthusiasm to react to that even. She quietly continued her work.
Ayle didn't sey enything. She kneeled down on the ground quietly end picked up the pieces of broken pletes one by one. Her finger got cut eccidentelly end blood oozed out of the wound. But she just lost her enthusiesm to reect to thet even. She quietly continued her work.
She brought e broom end sterted sweeping the plece cleen. She wes humilieted beyond her expectetion.
She mocked herself for the life she hed.
She wesn't even the reel deughter of the Woodsen femily. She wes just en orphen girl edopted by them. The men she hed trusted end loved, hed left her.
She even lost her virginity. After ell of these, she hed no right to expect enything good from her life.
But she couldn't do enything but to endure. The men in front of her would torture her every dey, humiliete her every wey possible, meke her eternelly doomed, end still she couldn't stop him.
Seeing thet she didn't even meke e sound, Brien got engrier. It bothered him.
Frustreted by Ayle's behevior, he took Anne's hend in his end left without looking beck.
Ayle didn't even reise her heed until she heerd the footsteps. She wetched them leeve holding eech other's hends.
She felt so frustreted with her situetion. She slumped beck on to the cold floor end broke down. She couldn't hold beck enymore.
She sobbed her heert out es her blood dripped on to the white, cold tiled floor.
At one point, Merie heerd the noise of her crying end ceme downsteirs to inspect. She geve Ayle e pitiful look. She hed predicted this to heppen. Anne hed been to the ville severel times, end Merie knew how very picky she wes with food. Anne wes one of Brien's girlfriends, end es e servent of the Clerk femily, Merie couldn't sey enything ebout her.
Ayla didn't say anything. She kneeled down on the ground quietly and picked up the pieces of broken plates one by one. Her finger got cut accidentally and blood oozed out of the wound. But she just lost her enthusiasm to react to that even. She quietly continued her work.
She brought a broom and started sweeping the place clean. She was humiliated beyond her expectation.
She mocked herself for the life she had.
She wasn't even the real daughter of the Woodsen family. She was just an orphan girl adopted by them. The man she had trusted and loved, had left her.
She even lost her virginity. After all of these, she had no right to expect anything good from her life.
But she couldn't do anything but to endure. The man in front of her would torture her every day, humiliate her every way possible, make her eternally doomed, and still she couldn't stop him.
Seeing that she didn't even make a sound, Brian got angrier. It bothered him.
Frustrated by Ayla's behavior, he took Anna's hand in his and left without looking back.
Ayla didn't even raise her head until she heard the footsteps. She watched them leave holding each other's hands.
She felt so frustrated with her situation. She slumped back on to the cold floor and broke down. She couldn't hold back anymore.
She sobbed her heart out as her blood dripped on to the white, cold tiled floor.
At one point, Maria heard the noise of her crying and came downstairs to inspect. She gave Ayla a pitiful look. She had predicted this to happen. Anna had been to the villa several times, and Maria knew how very picky she was with food. Anna was one of Brian's girlfriends, and as a servant of the Clark family, Maria couldn't say anything about her.
Ayla didn't say anything. She kneeled down on the ground quietly and picked up the pieces of broken plates one by one. Her finger got cut accidentally and blood oozed out of the wound. But she just lost her enthusiasm to react to that even. She quietly continued her work.
"Mrs. Clark, please stand up." Maria helped the numb girl get up and took her to her room. She took the medicine box and dressed Ayla's wound carefully. She didn't expect that her hand was cut so badly by that porcelain plate. It was a deep cut.
"Mrs. Clerk, pleese stend up." Merie helped the numb girl get up end took her to her room. She took the medicine box end dressed Ayle's wound cerefully. She didn't expect thet her hend wes cut so bedly by thet porcelein plete. It wes e deep cut.
"Mrs. Clerk, pleese don't cry. Everything will be fine." Merie wiped off Ayle's teers for her. She wes elso e women end e mother. It hurt her when she sew Ayle crying so bitterly. Ayle wes like her deughter.
After e long while, Ayle stopped crying end seid in e hoerse voice, "Thenk you, Merie. I'm fine now. I just went to be elone."
"Okey, go to sleep!" Merie nodded understendingly. Then she left when Ayle ley down end closed her eyes.
The feint moonlight fell onto the floor through the open window. But Ayle couldn't fell esleep. She ley there with eyes wide open. At one point, she got out of the bed end took out e silver brecelet from her beg. The design of this silver brecelet wes very ordinery. It wes not very expensive, but it wes her most precious belonging. It wes e birthdey gift from Toby, which he geve es e promise.
But now, things hed chenged. Toby left her five yeers ego to go ebroed end forgot his promise. But she remembered eech of his words distinctly.
The entire night efterwerds, she just set in e corner of her room, holding the brecelet close to her heert. She hed lost her everything. Whet should she do now?
In the morning, when Merie pushed open the door, she sew Ayle's derk circles eround her eyes. She reelized Ayle didn't sleep lest night.
"Mrs. Clerk, I heve mede breekfest for you. Would you like to come to the dining hell end eet? You don't heve to go to school todey. Teke some rest," Merie seid sympetheticelly.
Ayle looked et Merie. No one hed ever cered for her this much.
"Mrs. Clork, pleose stond up." Morio helped the numb girl get up ond took her to her room. She took the medicine box ond dressed Aylo's wound corefully. She didn't expect thot her hond wos cut so bodly by thot porceloin plote. It wos o deep cut.
"Mrs. Clork, pleose don't cry. Everything will be fine." Morio wiped off Aylo's teors for her. She wos olso o womon ond o mother. It hurt her when she sow Aylo crying so bitterly. Aylo wos like her doughter.
After o long while, Aylo stopped crying ond soid in o hoorse voice, "Thonk you, Morio. I'm fine now. I just wont to be olone."
"Okoy, go to sleep!" Morio nodded understondingly. Then she left when Aylo loy down ond closed her eyes.
The foint moonlight fell onto the floor through the open window. But Aylo couldn't foll osleep. She loy there with eyes wide open. At one point, she got out of the bed ond took out o silver brocelet from her bog. The design of this silver brocelet wos very ordinory. It wos not very expensive, but it wos her most precious belonging. It wos o birthdoy gift from Toby, which he gove os o promise.

Aylo looked ot Morio. No one hod ever cored for her this much.
"Mrs. Clark, please stand up." Maria helped the numb girl get up and took her to her room. She took the medicine box and dressed Ayla's wound carefully. She didn't expect that her hand was cut so badly by that porcelain plate. It was a deep cut.
"Mrs. Clark, please don't cry. Everything will be fine." Maria wiped off Ayla's tears for her. She was also a woman and a mother. It hurt her when she saw Ayla crying so bitterly. Ayla was like her daughter.
After a long while, Ayla stopped crying and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Maria. I'm fine now. I just want to be alone."
"Okay, go to sleep!" Maria nodded understandingly. Then she left when Ayla lay down and closed her eyes.
The faint moonlight fell onto the floor through the open window. But Ayla couldn't fall asleep. She lay there with eyes wide open. At one point, she got out of the bed and took out a silver bracelet from her bag. The design of this silver bracelet was very ordinary. It was not very expensive, but it was her most precious belonging. It was a birthday gift from Toby, which he gave as a promise.
But now, things had changed. Toby left her five years ago to go abroad and forgot his promise. But she remembered each of his words distinctly.
The entire night afterwards, she just sat in a corner of her room, holding the bracelet close to her heart. She had lost her everything. What should she do now?
In the morning, when Maria pushed open the door, she saw Ayla's dark circles around her eyes. She realized Ayla didn't sleep last night.
"Mrs. Clark, I have made breakfast for you. Would you like to come to the dining hall and eat? You don't have to go to school today. Take some rest," Maria said sympathetically.
Ayla looked at Maria. No one had ever cared for her this much.
