New idea, new story all over here... basically I wanted to imagine Marinette's life as a model and tada!

Well, I would definitely like to thank ChubbyUnicornMama for her help in beta reading this story!

Don't get me wrong, I love Sabine and Tom as the awesome parents they are but exploring their dark side would be interesting...

(Also I wish I owned both Miraculous Ladybug and the cover art but unfortunately I don't! :( )

*WARNING* - MENTIONS OF ABUSE ARE PRESENT IN THIS FIC!

She knelt, her hands pressing the fake sand and her knees feeling the water sent by a water line. For anyone who looked at the final shot it would've seemed like she was on a beach but she knew how fake it was. Her bra was way loose- how foolish of her! It was all planned after all. Her b*** were supposed to be hanging when she struck the fierce pose. But on the other hand, the bottom part of her bikini was way too tight showing off all of her curves.

This was what everyone wanted, well... maybe except for Marinette Dupain Cheng, the teen supermodel who would show off her beautiful curves in every single shoot. People would envy her and rave day and night about how they would want to be in her shoes. They would rave about how she might have the most luxurious life, loads of fame and most importantly comforting and soothing parents who cared for her from moon to back. Oh! How her inner self would laugh when someone said that. It was only her that knew what kind of life she lived.

When Sabine was 25 she had expected her baby and Tom, the large built man who was 28 at that point would've talked day and night about how their baby was going to take on the family's pride and definitely, the company. He raved about how HE (The baby) will be named after him as Thomas Dupain-Cheng. Sabine too was excited as pretty much as Tom as she went on for perhaps the whole of the nine months how HE would be her first love since HIS birth and not Tom. They laughed everyday joking and telling HIM bedtime stories hence they would've pretty much been surprised to know that their HE was actually a SHE! Tom and Sabine were devastated that they hated the thought of even stepping close to the baby girl.

Marinette spent the first five years of her life with her grandma. Her grandma couldn't believe what monsters were her son and daughter – in – law hence she took the baby girl in her hands and ran away. The woman was very caring and she looked after Marinette at every single second. These were the best days of her life but alas, after her grandma passed away when she was 5 their was no one to look after her. Later, the police took her in and after a fine search they got to know where she lived and who her parents were.

For the first time in her whole life Marinette had seen her parents when she was 5, as the small woman and the large built man happily excepted her. The house was like a castle, massive and beautiful! The look her parents gave to the police made her believe that she was going to be treated like the princess her grandma treated her for the rest of her life but when the police left and the doors slam shut everything began to change!

Tom clenched his fist as if wanting to beat her to death while he uttered, "This girl is going to give me a headache. Why not I get rid of her before that!"

"Calm down!" Sabine muttered calmly "We don't want to have the police around. But if you want we can make her life a living hell"

Each and every word was spoken in front of the five year old girl. That day Marinette got to know that her parents were the owners of the biggest empire of the country she also got to know that they were monsters! They made their plans to send her to model but not just any type of modelling- it was for the 'Dupain-Cheng lingerie collection".

"Little girls like you are only meant to do house work or show their curves!" Sabine knelt to match her height and clasped her throat.

"And you my dear are exempted from house work... but..." Tom said in a dark voice "We want you to show your curves!"

"I won't! " Marinette uttered but Sabine clenched her throat further as she nodded in approval with tears falling from her eyes as she let go.

"Now show me!" Tom threatened but again after her refusal he slammed her against the wall and removed each and every cloth she was wearing. Marinette was standing right their, n*** in front of her parents.

Tom slapped her at that moment itself. She didn't know why but she didn't dare to ask.

"For a five year old you have too little curves. We need to put her up with a plan so that she'll have larger curves in less than six months. I'll be entering her into a model corner till then" Tom said darkly

"I agree dear" Sabine came closer as she half embraced her husband " This little bugaboo of ours will have a lot to learn from here onwards" her tone was very, very dark!

There was no day since then that Marinette ever didn't get abused. She was both verbally and physically punished for things she didn't do or couldn't control. If they thought her curves were too small for shoots they would hit her, if Marinette skipped something off the schedule accidently they would hit her, if she didn't wear revealing clothes whenever she went out they would hit her, if she expressed her opinion they would hit her or simply if they were tired, stressed, frustrated or furious they would hit her. Hit wasn't exactly the word maybe... threaten, cut, hit, scold – abuse! That was it -ABUSE...

Whenever Marinette appeared with her parents in public though, they seemed to be very friendly and people praised them for being such a nice set of parents. Sabine and Tom even got an article reading ; Sabine and Tom Dupain Cheng, the owners of Dupain-Cheng industries give a few tips on parenting... How ironic!

They threatened companies to give up and seemingly were the bosses of the industry but for the public eye, Marinette Dupain Chengs' parents were anything and everything a child would wish for and Marinette Dupain Cheng had a life which any woman would aspire to have.

And today once again she was reliving every moment when she shot that photo. Every single one showing off her perfect curves which even those bikini sets couldn't hide. No one would've ever believed that 9 years ago she had no curves at all. Her body endlessly spelled out perfection and the need to be seen while her face gave out a look of fierceness for which any man would fall for, but her head after all these years still screamed to run and never look back.

"Final shot Miss Dupain-Cheng. Please get ready" Cameron, the photographer called out.

Her final pose was rather something she didn't like.., not like she liked any other but this had to be a half nude shot. It was only the top actually and she had the full privilege to cover her n*** with three fingers as she pressed her b*** tightly but yet she was very uncomfortable.

"Done" Cameron announced as the shot was finally done.

Marinette breathed a sigh of relief and left out quickly to change her clothes. Her clothes though were no less embarrassing to wear. It hugged her body perfectly but it showed the upper part of her b*** and had a cut near her buttocks. The red and black adorned her like it was fire and she was the new black widow with dark blue hair. Marinette had definitely been wearing such clothes for the past nine years, yet, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Ooh! My god! Marinette, the sexy teen model!" A girl squealed

Right! Marinette groaned internally. She wore her sunglasses as she walked away to her car like she didn't care about the world around her. She ignored everyone as she was told to. Marinette didn't let a smile get out of her lips as she knew the consequences to come with it.

"Look at her go! Her attitude is so amazing!" Another girl cooed

Marinette got in her car as soon as possible only to be welcomed by two big but very fake smiles. She sat in the middle of the two adults as they went on a very silent journey. She knew what was to come.

Marinette cried as she was pulled by her hair, in to her room by her bulky father. He slammed her on the floor, hard! She yelped in pain but caused no more sound as it will only encourage the two more. Sabine took off a belt, a seemingly strong one and handed it over to Tom. He endlessly beat her as if he would've until she bled her last drop of blood. Marks were growing and old wounds were opening up as the bashes were felt by her smooth skin.

Marinette yelped but she was used to this. A hundred bashes or more wouldn't stop the man and the woman from expressing their stress on their dear daughter. Every single time the belt made contact with her delicate skin the bluenette remembered of her grandmother. If she was alive she would've definitely took care of her. Her nonna wouldn't let Sabine or Tom even come near her, let alone give her a touch.

But now it wasn't just about a touch- Marinette was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Sabine pull out a knife. It would've been ridiculous if Marinette wasn't expecting that. Since she was nine her mother had constantly abused her using daggers to threaten her and now that was her weapon. Sabine used to aim them to Marinette's arms and legs and the bluenette had got better in dodging them with time.

And as said her mother took a knife and was testing her aiming at her daughter and not surprisingly though, Marinette dodged most of the aims, maybe except for one which caused a deep cut in her arm. Both of them cursed under their breaths and over, so that the bluenette could hear and finally once Tom was finished with his beating and Marinette shed a lot of blood, he seemed very satisfied. Sabine kicked a makeup kit towards Marinette in a sign to use that as to cover her wounds.

As soon as Sabine and Tom left Marinette cried endlessly like a never ending river. Just a few seconds later her personal assistant, Isabella Cooper Sancour, barged in with a grumpy attitude. One would think that by seeing such awful parents, this woman who was five feet and two inches tall with black hair and a fair skin would be very kind enough... but NO! Her hobby was to pack up Marinette's schedule and that was one of the only reasons why Sabine and Tom chose Isabella. Marinette preferred Natalie better, her earlier assistant. But now she was her bodyguard, seeing as to she was showing too much affection, Marinette's parents had put her to be the bodyguard and appointed a new assistant.
"Here's your schedule" she slammed in on to her face and left.

Marinette read out her schedule and began crying louder. She was left with no space for herself! Every minute of her day was filled with abuse! Her tears made the paper wet and slowly it was ripped into pieces. She didn't know what to do. Her whole life was a dark mess.

What have I done to deserve this?!
