CHAPTER 1 ~ Deep Wounds
Glory was sitting on the bus to New York. Thoughtfully she took out her diary, and wrote something in it:
'The mouth only describes a little amount of pain, but deep pains are speechless.
I am also speechless since you left me, dad.
You wanted so. I'm leaving for you both to live peaceful in heaven.
I packed up everything I have, to go to New York... to be quiet.'
--- Kozan Farm
"Ah, Thomas, why didn't you go to the terminal? How is she supposed to find our home all the way from Los Angeles?", Haley - Glory's Aunt - asked her husband, keeping her eyes on the window.
"We already opened our doors for her, she should be thankful. I'm not going to welcome someone that I don't want to stay in my home. She should've come with us long time ago!", said Thomas angrily while reading the newspaper.
"Listen, all she has now is us. Being unwilling is not nice." Haley tried to convince her husband while getting back to work.
"Look at me!", Thomas screamed at her.
"I don't want you to give someone like her indulgence!"
"Why are you talking like she is just someone to us? She is my niece.", Haley replied while boiling water to make soup.
"Don't even start with that niece crap!", he screamed at her again, drinking his tea.
Haley angrily left the kitchen, walking into the living room, where her daughter was, applying make-up.
"Her father passed away, why does he keep hating on him. I just don't understand!", she talked to herself as she cleaned up the table.
"Oh! My dear, I'm cleaning the table, you ate already, didn't you?", she asked her daughter.
"I did, I did.", Madison replied while she applied perfume.
"Mom, I have a very important meeting with my boss Adrian - I still have to organize files, so please don't keep my busy.", she declared while going over lots of papers and organizing said files.
---
Glory was on her way to where her aunt lived, known as the Kozan Farm. As she walked on the side of the road, a blue car stopped by. Two men were sitting in it.
"Bro, are we dreaming? An angel without wings in the middle of the forest!", one of the men yelled loudly while looking at Glory.
"Hey, did ya get lost?", the other one asked her provocatively.
Glory looked at them. She was both frightened and angry.
"Did ya swallow your tongue?"
Glory didn't reply.
"Let us give ya a ride."
"Don't ya like us?"-
"Piss off!!", Glory finally replied angrily. She began to walk faster.
"Bro, that chick is aggressive."
"I told you guys to piss off!"-
"What if we won't?!"
Suddenly, one of the men got out of the car.
"Keep driving!", he told the other one.
He ran towards Glory, screaming:
"Come on, don't be scared, chick!"
Glory ran as fast as she could, but it had no use. They had surrounded the poor girl.
"Where are ya going now, chick?", the other man stepped out of his car. Both were running towards her, pulling her into the woods.
"HELP ME!!", Glory screamed frightened while trying to release herself.
A man drove by and saw what happened. He got out of the car and ran into the woods.
"Don't get close!", Glory screamed at the two idiots, gesturing with a stone.
"Come on, stop doing affectation.", one of them declared with a big grin.
The man that saw everything came from the back, asking: "What's going on here?"
"None of your business!", the shorter one of the two men replied while the other one nudged him.
"Bro, that's Mr. Kozan!", he whispered. They quickly ran away, not even looking back.
"Th-they are running away! Do something about it!!
L-let's call the police!", she yelled at the man.
He didn't say a word.
"Oh, so your hero game is till here, huh?! You let them run away!", she yelled again, as she looked through the woods.
"What kind of place is this, anyway?! What kind of sick people are--?!"
"Is this how you say 'thank you'?", he interrupted her with an uninterested expression.
"You want me to thank you for the game you played with your friends?!", she asked.
"My friends?? You're paranoiac, aren't you?", he asked while coming a bit closer.
"Paranoiac? Two minutes ago I was attacked by those bandits! And now the king of fools let them run away! But after all, I am still paranoiac, right?!", she asked while gesturing with the stone she held in her hands.
"King of fools? These idiots are supposed to be my friends? I thought I helped you out.", he declared while he crossed his arms.
"Yeah right. You New Yorkers are so helpful anyway.", she said with a sarcastic undertone.
"Do whatever you want, then.", Adrian replied to her, going back to his car.
Glory looked at the area and sighed with relief. She stepped out of the forest.
"Seems like you're lost. Where do you have to go to?", Adrian asked her, trying to help out.
"Not your business." , she sighed again while she picked up her luggage that she had lost while running away.
"Stop dragging this. Look, this is the forest--"
"Don't approach!", she screamed, gesturing with the stone again.
Adrian sighed. "Look! Here's no car, taxi or bus passing by on this road! If you are lucky, you can probably find drunk people partying tomorrow morning.", he started to explain, trying to convince her.
"Can't you ever stop talking?", Glory asked annoyed.
"Can't you ever listen to me?!
Look. Last call. Where are you going to?", he asked angrily.
"I am going to goddamn Kozan's Farm, okay?!", she told him with a relief. She turned back and ran way.
Adrian was surprised.
With an uncertain expression, he got back into his car.
Some minutes had passed, and Adrian had arrived at where Glory was.
She looked at him with an annoyed expression, rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You're going the wrong way.", Adrian told her.
"Did I ask you to navigate me?!", Glory asked him spitefully.
"Please stop arguing. I will take you there."
"I don't want your help, how many times do I have to repeat myself?!"
Glory walked faster.
"Hop in. You'll never find it like this."
Glory stopped. She looked at him, going nearer to his car.
"Are you a maniac? Crazy?! I DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP."
Adrian sighed. He suddenly pulled her into the car and drove as fast as possible, so that she wouldn't think of getting out.
"HELP! GET GE OUT!!", she yelled, hoping someone would hear her.
"Now what? We are going to goddamn Kozan's Farm.", he told her provokingly.
Some minutes had passed and they finally arrived at the Kozan Farm.
Haley looked out of the window, seeing Mr. Adrian.
"Mr. Adrian is coming, but he has someone besides him. I-it.... it's Glory!"
She immediately ran out, wanting to welcome her nephew.
The whole family got out because of all the screaming.
As they parked Glory got out of the car as fast as possible.
Everyone just stared at them.
Haley, Thomas, and Madison were shocked that she already had arrived.
Adrian's Aunt, sister and his brother's wife didn't know what to say.
Glory saw her aunt and was in shock as well.
"Aunt?"
"Madison?"
"How did you get here?", Haley asked her, walking towards Glory.
"Adrian. What is going on?", Ashley, Adrian's aunt, asked sorrowfully.
"Madison, your cousin has arrived. You are off today.", he told Madison with a smile.
"But today's the big meeting, Mr. Adrian. I can see Glory in the evening.", she told her boss.
"Glory?", he finally knew her name.
"Alright. You are off.", he told her again, going into his big house.
As some time passed, the Kozan family members were talking about the girl.
"She talks a lot.", Natalie declared.
"But she is beautiful.", she added while sipping her tea.
Natalie was the wife of Aaron, Adrian's older brother.
Her Hair is curly and brown, just like her eyes. She is 24 years old.
"By the way, what was it she screamed? Goddamn Kozan's Farm?", Selena asked her aunt. Selena was Adrian's little sister, 19 years old. She has blonde hair and brown eyes.
"This is the Kozan Farm. Everyone should know their level.", Adrian's Aunt - Amber - declared while she watched the news.
Glory and Haley got into the house of the Kozan's to meet Ms. Amber. Haley told Glory to be 'very nice and polite' to her, since she is the boss of the house.
"Not only that, she is also Adrian's aunt and the mother of his wi---...", Haley wanted to explain. Glory didn't know why she stopped out of the sudden, asking:
"And the mother of whom?", with an inquiring look.
Haley shook her head and turned around to see if Ashley heard them.
"Um, that's all! Just be nice to her."
She grabbed Glory at her arm. Together they went on to Amber.
"Ms. Amber, my niece Glory. We are sorry that she has arrived here with such a big noise, but..", Haley tried to explain while gesturing with her hands.
"That's fine. Welcome.", Ashley said, without even looking at them. She stood up and told Haley to give Glory some clothes so that she doesn't walk around with her chest open. As she wanted to leave, Glory tried to defend herself:
"I apologize. My buttons broke when I was trying to escape from your nephew.", she declared with an annoyed undertone.
Upstairs, Adrian's child kept calling his dad.
As Adrian entered the child's room, he saw what Max had done; He broke all of his toys.
"I am doing it to make my mom mad. If she sees that I am being a bad boy she will come and get mad at me, I am sure!", the 5-year old explained while hiding behind his bed.
Adrian sighed, asking him why he said that.
"Look. No pranking in the house, okay?", while stroking the child.
"And next time, don't say stuff like this about your mom. Give me a Man Word."
"Man Word.", Max said with a smile, holding his thumbs up.
Adrian gave his child a kiss on the forehead.
---
Outside, Glory and Madison were talking about Adrian.
"What an aggressive man.", Glory declared with an uninterested face.
"I feel bad for you. It must be tough for you to work with this guy", she added.
"You see, I can't really say that Mr. Adrian is the easiest person in the world..", Madison began to explain.
"..but he is the biggest chance in my life.
You shouldn't think that he was born with the money. He created his own luck... ripped off his luck by himself. He never surrendered to anyone. He was grown without mother and father in the huge New York. Who knows... the money he has is probably nothing compared to the sweat back then.
He is tough. A macho. And like you said, sometimes even unpolite. But his inside is very different. With his son, he is a completely different person.", she told Glory while looking at the sky.
"He has a son?"
Madison nodded.
"I wish his wife patience, then. Is his wife the one with curly hair?", Glory asked.
"Nah. That witch is the wife of his brother, Aaron.", Madison told her with an annoyed undertone.
---
Some hours went by. Glory, Madison, Haley, and Thomas ate for dinner.
Thomas was - as always - pretty angry at Glory's dad.
'You see what happened to your officer income father?! He became dirt! And his daughter became a shelter of Thomas' home though she never liked me..', he angrily stated to Glory.
Glory's Tears were building up. A tear rolled down her cheek. She left the others and put her west on, to get out of the little house.
Outside, she sat on the ground and cried for endless hours. She played with her heart-shaped necklace, which her mother gave to her when she was 8 years old.
Adrian finally arrived. He got out of the car and saw Glory sitting on the ground, crying.
He walked towards her, saying:
"You will catch a cold. Come on."
He grabbed her by her hand and helped her to get up.
Glory ran into the house of Thomas, without saying a single word.
---
Upstairs, Adrian looked for his son.
He searched everywhere but was unable to find Max.
No one knew where he was.
Max had climbed up on a tree.
"Mommy, I am here. Come to me, mom..", he shouted at the sky, while stretching out his hand at the sky.
Glory looked out of the window and saw the little boy. She fastly ran out of the house to save Max.
"Max, how did you get up there? Don't be scared, I'm coming!", she whispered to him, while climbing up.
"I am not scared, my mom will come!", the boy declared.
As the Kozan family saw that he climbed up a tree, they ran there as fast as they could.
Glory tried to grasp Max, but she nearly fell down.
"Okay...okay...", she mumbled to herself with a relief.
"Come to me. Hug me tight now."
"MAX!", Adrian shouted while running towards the big tree.
"Hold on, we are coming down.", Glory told Adrian.
As Adrian grabbed his son, he pulled him to the side, shouting at him;
"What do you think you are doing, huh? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? You won't EVER do this again, understand me?!"
"I will until my mother comes back!! You told me she'd come back from the clouds, stars, and heaven!!", Max replied to his father
"NO, she won't!-", Adrian replied, pulling him aside. He told his aunt to lock him up.
"Stop it! Stop yelling at him!", Glory shouted towards Adrian.
"Seems like he is missing his mother so much - why are you not being understanding?", she angrily asked him.
While she was still talking, Adrian got himself a saw. He wanted to saw off the tree.
"What are you doing, are you crazy?!", Glory shouted while quickly taking the saw and tossing it aside.
"You already punished your son, now you want to punish the tree, too?
If you keep punishing your son instead of understanding him, you will be scared forever.", she explained while gesturing with her hands.
Adrian walked away. He got into his car and drove to the hospital where his wife was.
---
As he entered the room, he remembered the terrible accident. The voices were echoing in his head.
"Why won't you understand, Cyan?! It doesn't work out and it won't work out!"
~~~
Adrian and Cyan were arguing in the car.
"You know that we started with a mistake! Everything was set by my aunt!"
"Why do we always wake up with a fight, huh?!"
"Look, Adrian. I love you.", Cyan tried to soothe Adrian.
"THEN WHY IS OUR LIFE HELL FOR US, WHY?!"
...
"Look, Cyan. I want a divorce."
...
"So you want a divorce?!", Cyan yelled at him.
Adrian answered with a 'yes'.
"You want a life without me?", she provoked.
"I do!"
"But for me, there is no life without you, Adrian!", Cyan yelled, detaching her seatbelt.
"IF YOU ARE NOT THE ONE FOR ME, THERE WILL BE NO LIFE FOR ME!!"
She grabbed the steering wheel.
They crashed into a huge wall...
~~~
---
At the Kozan Farm, Glory wrote something into her diary before sleeping.
'We all get wounds while living.. big, small, deep..
We all have many wounds in our life.
Time makes some of the wounds become a sort of shell.
Some of them hard to see, or unable to feel.
But some of them, even though only a scar is left, can still be bleeding.
On some wounds, time can't be a medicine.
They will be hidden from the eyes.. but not from the heart...
Adrian Kozan... arrogant, rough, brutal man. You have a big wound, too. Just like me..'
I apologize for all of my mistakes if I do/did any.

"I will until my mother comes back!! You told me she'd come back from the clouds, stars, and heaven!!", Max replied to his father
"NO, she won't!-", Adrian replied, pulling him aside. He told his aunt to lock him up.
"Stop it! Stop yelling at him!", Glory shouted towards Adrian.
"Seems like he is missing his mother so much - why are you not being understanding?", she angrily asked him.
While she was still talking, Adrian got himself a saw. He wanted to saw off the tree.
"What are you doing, are you crazy?!", Glory shouted while quickly taking the saw and tossing it aside.
"You already punished your son, now you want to punish the tree, too?
If you keep punishing your son instead of understanding him, you will be scared forever.", she explained while gesturing with her hands.
Adrian walked away. He got into his car and drove to the hospital where his wife was.

As he entered the room, he remembered the terrible accident. The voices were echoing in his head.
"Why won't you understand, Cyan?! It doesn't work out and it won't work out!"
~~~
Adrian and Cyan were arguing in the car.
"You know that we started with a mistake! Everything was set by my aunt!"
"Why do we always wake up with a fight, huh?!"
"Look, Adrian. I love you.", Cyan tried to soothe Adrian.
"THEN WHY IS OUR LIFE HELL FOR US, WHY?!"
...
"Look, Cyan. I want a divorce."
...
"So you want a divorce?!", Cyan yelled at him.
Adrian answered with a 'yes'.
"You want a life without me?", she provoked.
"I do!"
"But for me, there is no life without you, Adrian!", Cyan yelled, detaching her seatbelt.
"IF YOU ARE NOT THE ONE FOR ME, THERE WILL BE NO LIFE FOR ME!!"
She grabbed the steering wheel.
They crashed into a huge wall...

At the Kozan Farm, Glory wrote something into her diary before sleeping.
'We all get wounds while living.. big, small, deep..
We all have many wounds in our life.
Time makes some of the wounds become a sort of shell.
Some of them hard to see, or unable to feel.
But some of them, even though only a scar is left, can still be bleeding.
On some wounds, time can't be a medicine.
They will be hidden from the eyes.. but not from the heart...
Adrian Kozan... arrogant, rough, brutal man. You have a big wound, too. Just like me..'
