His soul-Chapter 69: One Blood

Gina ran with feet that were already soaked with blood, she ignored the pain that pierced her soles in order to avoid the crazy man who had made her powerless. There was no one in the dark alley, only Gina herself who kept trying to save her pride by continuing to run as her final defense.

In the pitch darkness Gina kept running trying to keep as much distance as possible from the savage predators chasing her behind, her throat hurting right now from screaming too much.

Gina’s steps fell when suddenly her feet tripped over a hard object across the road, Gina’s body hit the hard floor very hard. It was very difficult for her to wake up at this time, her whole body ached from the lashes that oozed blood all over her body. The only thing she could hope for right now was to die, dying was her last hope rather than having to lose her pride as a woman.

"You can’t run away from me, Gina. you are mine..."

"No!!!"

Gina opened her eyes wide when she managed to wake up from her terrible dream, she even had time to feel her body which was still fully clothed, the clothes she used when she went to work this morning.

Because she was too tired from all the activities she went through today, thirty minutes ago Gina fell asleep while leaning her body on the sofa for a moment to dry the sweat off her body. Sleeping in a dirty body makes Gina have nightmares, dreams she never imagined before. The most terrible dream he had in the 18 years he lived.

Knock..

Knock...

A knock on her bedroom door from outside made Gina wake up.

"Miss, you are waiting for dinner," said a waiter from behind the door.

"Ok, I’ll be down soon!" Gina replied loudly.

"Okay Miss."

The next second Gina immediately ran to her bathroom which was two meters from where she was now, when she got to the bathroom Gina immediately took off all her clothes under the shower because she was in too much of a hurry.

After doing the most important things from bathing starting from brushing teeth, washing young, cleaning the body with Gina’s soap then ending the very rushed night’s shower. From taking a shower, getting dressed and getting ready, Gina only takes about 10 minutes. Really a very not optimal shower.

Using perfume as the final touch, Gina left her room and rushed to the first floor to the dining table where everyone was waiting for her arrival, only Gina was the only person who hadn’t sat in a chair when dinner time arrived. And according to the rules of the Sanders family, everyone who was sitting at the dining table had to wait for the last person to come to be able to start eating because that’s why a waiter had gone up to Gina’s room.

"S-sorry..."

Gina’s words stopped when everyone at the dinner table gave her cold stares, especially Selena, Rosa and Diego. The three stepsisters really disliked her.

"Gina." Vanessa broke the silence. "Come here honey, take your seat so we can start dinner."

Gina silently walked towards the chair that Vanessa had pulled earlier, Gina then sat up straight looking ahead trying to avoid eye contact with Rosa who was sitting right in front of her.

"Waiter, quickly serve the food," said Yohanes Sanders loudly.

The waiters who had previously lined up neatly around the dining table then went about their work as soon as they received orders from the master, the waiters began to busy serving a luxurious dinner whose menu had only been seen by Gina on television. The smell of the expensive food managed to make the worms in Gina’s stomach wake up from their suspended animation, the noise in Gina’s stomach managed to make a very loud sound and of course everyone who was sitting at the dining table could hear it.

"Disgusting, you barbaric girl!" Rosa cursed quickly after she heard Gina’s stomach growl.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to," Gina said quietly.

Barbara smiled. "You don’t need to apologize dear, it’s also very natural for someone who has started work again today."

"Grandma, come on... don’t keep defending her like that." Diego replied to his grandmother’s words with annoyance.

"What Grandma said is true, today Gina has started work again so it’s only natural that she is a little hungry. Grandma is sure that before she came home she didn’t eat, didn’t she, dear?"

"Yeah, I’m not used to eating anymore after work," Gina answered slowly.

"Tsk, just being a waiter at the chicken shop is pretentious!" Rosa’s mocking voice sounded clear and painful to Gina’s ears again.

"Rosa!"

Rosa who was playing with her knife immediately turned to her father who had just called her name warningly.

"What? Isn’t what I said true?" said Rosa without guilt. "You work at a small fried chicken shop, right?" Rosa asked Gina a curt question.

Gina pursed her lips. "Yeah and I’m proud of my job, because at least I can earn money from my own sweat without bothering others, even though I’m just an ordinary high school graduate."

Damn, Gina’s sarcastic answer immediately made Diego turn to him with emotion. The veins on Diego’s head were even showing because of how angry he was at the moment. But not with Julian, the man smiled. Smile at Gina’s smart answer and Vanessa sees Julian’s smile! Shit. The two women’s hands were currently clenched into fists under the table, trying to stop herself from exploding right now. He still has to hide his true feelings so that all the plans he made are not destroyed.

"Come on, this is the dining table, not a place to argue," said Yohanes Sanders again, trying to end the conversation that was considered unimportant.

After Yohanes spoke, all the parents began to enjoy their respective meals. Likewise with Gina, who was once amazed by the food on her plate, even though Gina had never eaten luxurious food before but she was very graceful when she enjoyed the expensive food on her plate and this irritated Selena and Rosa. Whereas previously the two brothers had planned to mock Gina’s way of eating.

The only person who didn’t seem to be enjoying dinner well was Diego, Gina’s words really bothered him. Especially since earlier this afternoon Gina saw him fondling a waiter, Diego’s hatred for Gina is even greater now.

Because she is not used to eating too much, Gina refuses the desserts that the waitress serves for her, this of course makes everyone at the dinner table confused because no one doesn’t like desserts, especially for a girl like Gina who actually likes sweet foods like desserts. This is being served by the waiter.

Seeing Gina not touching her desserts, Julian frowned. "Why don’t you eat dessert, baby?"

"I don’t like sweets," Gina answered honestly.

"Imposible!"

"You poor Girl!"

Rosa and Selena immediately replied to Gina’s words at the same time, but the words of the two girls meant nothing to Gina.

"Then we can change to other desserts if you want, dear," said Vanessa quickly.

Gina shook her head quickly. "No need, I’m full. Can I leave the table already?"

"Sure," Barbara answered quickly. "When you feel full you can leave the table, Gina."

Gina’s smile grew wider. "Thank you, Mad-eh Grandma."

Prank...

The fork Barbara was holding suddenly slipped out of her hand and fell on the plate making a very loud noise.

"W-what did you call me, Gina?" Barbara stammered.

"Grandma," Gina answered simply. "Why, is there anything wrong?"

Instead of answering Gina’s question, Barbara suddenly got up from her chair and immediately approached Gina before she finally hugged Gina tightly.

"Thanks God, thank you for making my granddaughter call me the right name," Barbara said hoarsely as she hugged Gina tightly.

Gina just smiled when her grandmother hugged her in front of everyone.

Brak

Suddenly Selena pounded the dining table so hard that Barbara immediately let go of Gina’s arms.

"Selena Flor Sandres!! What are you doing," Yohanes snapped loudly saying Selena’s full name, usually he would only call his granddaughter’s full name when he was really angry.

Not only Selena who froze, everyone at the dining table including Gina and Barbara immediately fell silent when they heard a loud shout from Yohanes.

"Have you forgotten the rules in this house?" John asked loudly again.

Selena, who was already shrunken, sat back in her chair with her head bowed, realizing that her daughter was in danger. Vanessa immediately turned to her father-in-law and prepared to open her mouth to speak, but that had not happened.

"Dad!"

"Grandpa."

"Jesus."

Julian, Diego, Rosa and Barbara spoke in unison, protesting what the old man had done to Vanessa. Gina was the only person in the dining room who didn’t react to what Yohanes had done.

Yohanes Sanders who was angry then slammed the handkerchief violently on his plate. "I warned you to teach your daughter some manners, how many more times do I have to tell you about it, Vanessa?! "If you are no longer able to carry out your duties, it is better to leave the house immediately because I can easily find a new wife for my son."

"Are you crazy, Yohanes Sandres?!" Without any fear, Gina immediately answered her grandfather’s words loudly, her blue beads were perfectly rounded at this time. "What can you do, huh? Throw away your daughter-in-law and find a new wife for your son? After what happened to my mother, do you want to repeat this woman again? other people, I really can’t believe that in my blood flows the blood of a loser like you!"

"Georgina...

"Yes, I am Georgina Garcia. The daughter of a poor woman who you hate so much,"said Gina quickly interrupted his grandfather.
