Mistake To Regret?

1537 Words
Tina's Pov I am certain why Danielle wanted me to throw the rice away. She knew that I was very hungry and was not going to really throw it away. I would have no other choice but to eat the food. So after I got the packer, I returned to the parlor and swept the rice into the packer. As I was about to walk away Danielle interrupted. "Please be fast! Dump it in the dustbin immediately and head straight to my room to pick up all my clothes, okay?" She said, and I nodded with tears before quickly heading out of the room. Seriously, I can't wait to get out of their presence so that I can eat the leftovers because I am extremely hungry. So I'm heading straight to the dustbin where I know for sure that none of them will be looking at me or spot me trying to eat the food. As soon as I get there, I quickly place the packer on the dustbin basket and select some good parts of the rice with my hand. I was about to put it in my mouth when a voice interrupted. "Hey!" The voice shouted, and I was so frightened that the rice fell from my hand. I began to shake, with my gaze fixed on the floor. I know that I have gotten into trouble, and I'm sure it's Danielle! I never knew she would go as far as following me to make sure I didn't eat even wasted food? What kind of wickedness is this? She's just so determined that I must die of hunger. "Tina?" She called my name as I slowly gazed at her face. "Wait a minute, what are you actually trying to do, eat the waste?" She asked, and I slowly returned my gaze to the floor because I didn't really know how to respond. "Oh wow..." she said as she approached closer to me. "So, you now prefer spoilt food? Oh... my sweet poor girl, I never knew that you were a pig that loves dirty food!" she exclaimed, placing her hand on my jaw and lifting my face. Forcing me to look at her annoying face. "But it's okay, it's fine. You are free to eat, just be fast about it." She said and walked away, but then paused and turned her gaze back to me. "And mind you, from today onwards, you will be eating refuse only since you are trying to tell me that I haven't been feeding you well!" "You prefer leftovers, right? You will keep getting them in bundles," she said, and walked away, while tears streamed out of my eyes. I honestly don't know what to do now. I kept my gaze fixed on the food, unable to even stretch out my hand to eat the leftover food again. I believe the statement she just made means that I won't be getting any good food from them again at all. Slowly, I managed to raise my hand. I placed it inside the food and picked some up. I was slowly putting it in my mouth when Elina's voice interrupted. "Tina!" she shouted, and I quickly looked back, frightened as I hid my hand behind my back. "Hmm? You're crying? Are you okay? Oh, I'm sorry. Pardon me. I know you're not always okay being in this house with my sister, but I'm sorry," she said, and I managed to give a smile. I tried my best to pretend that everything was okay, but the truth is that I can try but I can't hide it. It's clear because she saw my tears. So I slowly wiped away my tears, and then she approached with a plate in her hand. "Hey, I took this from my mom's pot! I know that you're hungry and you need to eat, so I brought this to you, okay?" Elina whispered to me, and I gazed at her with a determined look on my face as she slowly opened it. It was a bowl of fried rice and two pieces of chicken, and I opened my mouth in shock. "What...? Elina, what are you doing? You're putting yourself in danger for me. Please, you don't have to do that, okay?" "I mean, you are putting me in danger, and you know what will happen to me if your sister ever finds out," I said, while Elina smirked with a non-smiling face. She wasn't happy with my response at all. I was supposed to be so happy, not thinking of what Danielle would do. "Are you eating or not?" Elina said with a determined tone. I gazed silently at her for a few seconds and discovered that her gaze was fixed on the refuse. I became so ashamed of myself as I gently accepted the food. "Elina, seriously, I don't know how to thank you..." I was still saying, but she interrupted me. "No, you don't have to. I haven't done anything special for you. I'm just giving you the food you deserve for all the hard work you have been doing," she said, shrugging her shoulders. I swallowed my saliva. "Whatever, I'm still going to thank you for that," I responded to her, and she nodded. "Please eat so that I can return the plate, and my sister won't be able to find out," she said. I quickly settled down and began to eat hungrily. Within just a few minutes, I was done eating, and then I handed the plate back to Elina. Just as I was giving her the plate, Danielle walked in, and Elina quickly hid the plate behind her back. "Elina? What the hell are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be in your room watching movies?" "Don't tell me you're helping this wretched girl wash clothes!?" she thundered as she began to approach. While she was approaching, Elina was stylishly hiding the plate to the left side. "No! I wasn't washing the clothes for her! I only came to check if she had started washing them because you need those clothes to go out," Elina said. Danielle turned her full gaze at me, while Elina quickly left. Danielle was surprisingly gazing at me and the spoiled food, and I became scared because she had caught me. She noticed that Elina had brought me food. "Wait a minute! Since I gave you those clothes, you haven't even started washing them at all?! Tina?!" she thundered, and I breathed slowly, relieved that she didn't find out. If she had, I would have been in trouble. So I quickly tried to start washing. "I'm so sorry," I said, getting back to my feet, but she held onto me. "Wait! That can wait for another time. As you heard my sister, I was supposed to go somewhere with those clothes, but not anymore," she said, and I nodded in a sorrowful tone. "I'm sorry..." I was still saying when she interrupted. "Oh, shut the f**k up, please!!" she said, and I quickly closed my mouth. "I'm having a visitor here, my super mate, Mateo, is coming to visit me!! And I will need you to clean up my room and make it sparkly neat!!" she said, and I nodded. "You know..." she said as she took a bold step over my face, trying to cause me pain because she's getting married to an heir to the majestic throne and becoming the Queen, but I would never care about that. "You know, Mateo is a member of the royal family, an heir to the throne of the most respected and strongest pack! In that case, he wouldn't want to set his eyes on a dirty thing like you," she said, and just like always, I slowly lowered my gaze. "Look at me!" she yelled at me, and I quickly looked up. "I want you to stay in your room! After cleaning the guest room and my room, especially my room, because I will be having the most intimate moment with him tonight... so..." she said as she leaned in close to my ear. "I don't want you to ever let him catch a glimpse of you, or else... it's not a threat, darling," she said, swallowing her saliva and stepping closer to my face. "But if you know what's good for you and want to avoid trouble, just lock yourself inside your room till tomorrow. I will ask Elina to get you some food there. See you tomorrow, okay?" Danielle concluded. "I'm very sure that you are also mated to a wretched person, just like... sorry, I didn't mean to insult," she mocked me and left the room. After crying, I went to the parlor and cleaned it up. Then, I headed inside her room and tidied every corner of it. I cleaned it so nicely, as I wanted to impress Danielle this time. I picked up some perfume and sprayed it in the room. Then, I smiled as it smelled so nice. Out of happiness, I jumped onto the bed. It felt relieving, so I decided to rest for a little while before leaving. However, I didn't realize when I fell asleep on the bed.
