The soft cries of her newborn son, Ryuu, stirred Akane from her restless slumber. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and stumbled out of her bedroom, her body moving on autopilot as she made her way to the nursery.
Akane's mind was still foggy from the late hour, but she quickly snapped to attention as she entered the room. She picked up her son, cradling him in her arms as she settled into the rocking chair. Ryuu latched onto her breast, nursing hungrily as Akane let out a sigh.
But her moment of peace was short-lived. The door to the nursery creaked open, and Akane's heart sank as she saw her mother's new boyfriend, Shigeru, enter the room.
"Oh, there's my little man," Shigeru cooed, approaching the rocking chair. He leaned down, whispering sweet nothings to Ryuu that made Akane's skin crawl.
She shot a death glare at him, but Shigeru didn't seem to notice or care. He continued to fawn over the baby, his eyes lingering on Akane in a way that made her feel violated.
"What are you doing here?" Akane snapped, her voice tight with anger.
Shigeru grinned, his eyes gleaming with sleaze. "I just wanted to check on the little guy. Make sure he was okay."
Akane's blood boiled. "He's fine. Now leave."
Shigeru chuckled, his gaze raking over Akane's body. "You're a feisty one, aren't you? I like that."
Akane rolled her eyes. "Please. Just go."
Shigeru lingered for a moment longer, making Akane uncomfortable before finally leaving the room. She let out a sigh of relief, but the feeling of violation didn't go away.
She finished feeding Ryuu and put him back to bed, her mind racing. She couldn't shake off the feeling of being violated, and she knew she needed to confront her mother.
But when she made her way to her mother's room, she found her passed out and drunk. Akane let out a sigh, feeling defeated. She knew there was no point in trying to talk to her mother in this state.
With a heavy heart, Akane made her way back to her own room. She climbed into bed, her mind swirling with thoughts of Shigeru and her mother. She couldn't help but wonder if things would ever get better.
As she drifted off to sleep, her mind turned to Nekomaru, the father of her child and her one-night stand. She wondered if he would be a better partner and protector than the men in her life.
But for now, she knew she needed to focus on protecting herself and her son. She vowed to never let anyone make her feel violated again.
The end.
