Chapter 2
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
I finally cried., In her embrace it's so warm and what I've ever wanted.
She saw the bag in my hand, she took them and led me inside.
My house is your house so pls feel free okay. Mariam my best friend said.
I , I . I stammered.
Alex my house is your house, so feel free, remember that we're besties and we are besties for ever, so pls don't feel awkward, I won't bug you when you want to leave, please stay for now, remember you're always welcome with opened arms.
Thank GOD you finally listened to my advice and left that God's forsaken house if not they would have killed you. I mean see your face, follow me I give you something to rob to clear the marks on your face away. She said focusing her self not to cry.
before Alex could say anything someone pulled her to another embrace.
Alex , Mariam mom said. Then pulled me out of the hug, checking her body.
Oh, my goodness, what have they done to you. thank GOD you finally left there, my dear, if not they would have ruined your beauty .
And now that you have left, I'll make sure to sue them for child bullying.
Mariam take your friend up to her room, let her shower then come and eat. Angel Mariam's mom said.
Okay, mom, Mariam answered.

Davis Lincoln is a world known business man, through his power and of course the help of his lovely wife Angel Lincoln, he became known and have companies all over America. He is more powerful than Alex father. His wife Angel too is a business woman, she sells golds and silver, jade, jade jewelries, with the help of her husband she became influential, and have businesses in America . They're known as a perfect couple in America, because of the love they shared and the children they brought up with love, and it is seen in their characters also. Alex too envy them, and of course love them , if not of them she doesn't know what will happen to her, so, she is forever grateful to them.
Mariam shortened for Maria, Alex love to call her Maria, while Mariam calls her Alex .
Maria dragged Alex to her room so they would sleep together on the bed, of course the bed is more than big enough for the both of them, so she agreed and showered in the room. Then afterwards went down for breakfast.
The mansion has many beds, rooms and guest room, but Maria just don't want to sleep alone.
Alex tried to eat but she has lost her appetite, so she didn't eat much, Angel didn't force her because she knew she is going through a lot.
Afterwards they all went and sleep.
...............
12 o'clock pm
Ahh...
Alex screamed, when she saw the time she woke up. she has never slept like this before.
But she felt energetic and healthy after the sleep.
Then she remembered the pills Maria gave her last night.
The pills really works wonders. She thought.
She is not used to taking pills, but took last night because of Maria pressured her to take it, she also gave her some creams and medicines to use.
When she looked in the mirror she was dazed to see the marks on her face and body have almost cleared off. wow the cream and pills she gave me really worked wonder, she said to her self, while checking her body and face.
She has brown pupils, long brown hair, white skin , pink lips, shaped sharp eyes and natural smooth soft skin like jade.
Every woman's features she is blessed with it, especially the curves, which is not too much but moderate. She looked charming at this moment. One of the reasons why her step mother bullies her is because of her beautiful skin and she is beautiful, Of course Emily her stepsister is pretty but not as her, she is always jealous, that's one of the reasons she is bullied, and filled with bruises. Although it hasn't fully left, it's not, as worst as before , which brought out her true beauty.
Before this weekend, it will have gone even without leaving scars, she thought.
Her growling stomach pulled her from her thoughts.
She showered and went down stairs only to find Maria cooking, of course she can smell the aroma of the food, she made her lick her lips, but shocked to see Maria cooking, cause it's very rare to see Maria cooking.
Oh my goodness, am I dreaming or are you the one cooking . I asked still dazed.
I did it for you baby girl.
That's why I love you. Alex giggled
I love you too . Mariam said.
I helped her with some of the chores and before you know it, food is ready.
.......
After the dinner, Maria said that Angel left for meeting, which is rare, because it's on Saturdays, but because it's important, so she has to go.
Baby girl, let's go on girls outing, throw away those clothes you brought from home to avoid bad memories. Don't worry it's my treat, so feel free to use my money on whatever things you like .
I know you have tons of money in your account, because you're a hacker but still it's my treat, okay.
Yes ma'am, besides I don't have any money in my account anymore, I spent it on my personal thing, like my school fees and all other things that i need at school and for myself, and I've got no time to hack because of I was busy with the chores and errands Vero sent me day by day. I have no time for myself, talk less of hacking, I could only hack in the midnight .I said dejectedly.
No wonder, you are so thin, you missed good night sleep, doing chores and errands the maids are supposed to do, when do you sleep. Tsk, my friend you have really suffered.
But you still managed to work for one of the biggest company in the America, and the whole of New York City, although he doesn't know who you're, he saw something in you and my dear you're a genius and I know that's why he employed you, so don't be sad. Don't worry this girl's outing will cheer you up let's go. Maria said.
let go, it gonna be worth your time, we're going to have fun...
they both giggled.
