“Dad, stop! My childhood is filled with pain because of them! Do you really have no idea what I went through at their hands?" Tilda said furiously as she interrupted Wilton.

She furrowed her brows in anger and continued, "You see Renata as an angel because she acts delicately around you. If only you could see her for who she is. To her, Ivy was her precious little daughter, while I was just a liability that needed to be kept under control.

While Ivy had access to classes she was interested in, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I was never permitted to attend classes that I was interested in. I was denied a normal childhood.

Apart from going to school, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere else.

After coming back home from school and during school-free days, she would Lock me indoors. I couldn't visit anybody and nobody, not even my classmates, was allowed to visit me. She would turn my classmates back at the gate whenever they came to play with me. Do you have any idea how evil someone has to be to do all of these to a child?"
