Ana Maria POV I didn't know what day it was anymore, time went by so fast. Everything felt completely surreal. And scary. More often than not, I kept losing awareness, of never-ending fevers, and the temperature just didn't go down. During those periods, I kept seeing all these vivid awful dreams. It seemed that even in my sleep, I couldn't find peace. Sometimes, I could tell that he was close to me, even at night. I dread his presence, more than anything. But I didn't have any energy left in my body, even more, let alone try to protect myself. He keeps repeating to me that I belong to him. As he needs to remind me, my own father sold me to him and threw me out when I needed my family the most. When I was awake, I couldn't help but cry. What has my life become? What did I ever do
