The Passion Of My Enemy
** the Past **

The shadow of the past rotates back in Lucius' brain. When curiosity wracked his little heart. Why does his mother always go down to the cellar, the bodyguards even bring water and a little bread to it. It was as if there was someone in that damp basement.

His little feet were treading on the cold basement floor. Passing through the fast asleep guards. He tried to imagine that he was in a hide-and-seek game.

Lucius stopped when a shrill sound of crying was heard by him. Very small, as if the crying person already had no energy to make a sound.

He approached, seeing that there were three small rooms lined up. In the middle of the room was a woman leaning against the wall. Beside him, a very thin little girl hugged the woman while crying.

Lucius stood looking at the little girl. The little girl's hair and eyes even her face was somewhat similar to her own.

Feeling that someone was approaching the girl looked up, frightened to see Lucius who had been standing outside the door of the bars .

"Mom ..." The little girl woke up her mother.

"Mom ... wake up .. There is someone."

The woman who was closing her eyes was shocked, immediately pulling the little girl into his arms. Nanar he stared out the bars, past Lucius, as if looking for a terrible figure who came to them.

"You who?" the little girl finally made a sound.

"A ... a.k .. I'm Lucius ...." Lucius stammered, surprised to see the state of the woman's face. After the woman called 'Mom' by the little girl had sighed her hair so as not to cover her face, Lucius looked at the face full of bruises, all over a body full of bluish bruises.

"Lucius ..." the woman repeated her name, then released the little girl in her arms and crawled closer to Lucius.

"You're Lucius .. Sanchez's son?"

Lucius nodded as the woman mentioned her father's name. Then his bruised lips tried to smile, Lucius frowned .. It must have hurt as the woman tried to pull her lips to smile.

"Lucius .. You're so handsome, would you help me, honey?"

"Did you see that little girl?"

the woman pointed into the room. Lucius nodded again.

"She's my daughter .. She's very hungry, also very thirsty. Will you help us? Would you like to bring us some food secretly?"

Lucius was long-sighted with the woman's eyes. Pity came to his heart . and finally a nod he gave, before he returned, left the cold cellar and dungeon.

Lucius's days went on as normal during the day. Activities that had been arranged by his cold mother, there was no word to refuse, or he would feel the consequences. Learning with teachers who have been appointed by his mother. Until the evening came, the time that Lucius was waiting for when he would descend into the cellar below. Bring a little food that he managed to save that day, to be given to a woman named Marinna and her daughter.

Lucius also brought blankets, even used clothes that he managed to steal, so that Marinna and her daughter did not feel cold at night. Even more enjoyable at night, Marinna's daughter became her playmate, her life confined to the mansion without being allowed to go out, her playing hours restricted and the people she could meet were determined by her mother. Under the pretext he is Sanchez's heir. Have to master everything, no lack in the least.

Lucius knew then. .. that every wound and bruise obtained by Marinna was the result of his mother's actions. When he asked Marinna why her mother had done this to him, Marinna's answer made her shudder.

"Don't make the slightest mistake Lucius! Follow your mother .. and keep well our secret, our meeting every night. You must be careful .. lest your mother find out, or you accept torture as I feel."

The two captives in the dungeon became the source of Lucius' happiness, the affection of Marinna and her daughter overflowing her dry and arid heart. The desire to help them made Lucius forget that the two men wanted freedom, they were prisoners who were looking for a way to free themselves.

Then it happened that horrible thing. When he makes a mistake, Marinna tells him to steal the key then tries to go on the run. But of course the woman did not take him. They left Lucius to receive punishment from his mother who was furious.

Her mother's insanity was obvious. When giving punishment to her frightened biological child. It did not matter when Lucius whimpered, cried, begged his mother to stop. One of the reasons why he was phobic of scissors, one of the tools his mother used to torture him was to stab the tip of the object in his body. His mother also threatened to cut off parts of his body with it.

Torture after torture he received for being betrayed by Marinna and her daughter, until senior Sanchez later visited the mansion, feeling the need to see his son and find out later what happened in the mansion. Lucius had just been transferred .but too late, that past trauma had wrapped around him so deeply.
