NEWLIFE ,NEW FAMILY

Smithson House

Hi dear ....but she didn't look at him , it's uncle he said to her trying to get her to look at him.....but she didn't ...Come let's go .. .she followed him she couldn't protest ....Her stuff had being packed by Maria she hugged Maria one last time ....and followed him to his car ....... ( She cried as she remembered her parents injured body and their burial and with the fact that she would not longer be in her house the tears couldn't stop coming, they arrived at the airport and they boarded the plane....She wasn't speaking or eating was just looking as tired as ever ).

They landed in London and a car was waiting for them they got in and they arrived at her uncle's in no time .(she knew her uncle was married but has never met his wife or children , and has only met him twice ,today and they first time her dad introduced him to her ). So this is your new home honey , her uncle said to her ....she just nodded her head ...he helped her with her bags and took her inside .... His wife came to hug him at the door so was his children and they looked beside him who is she ? the children asked ....she's your cousin he replied them

LONDON Cousin ? they asked their father eyes widened .....This is Ashley and she would be living with us from now ....Ashley this is Davies , Daniel and Stephanie....your cousins ........Catherine please come here ( she was their housekeeper) ...This is my niece Ashley and she would be staying with us .......please take her to her room ...Yes sir ......Come dear,Catherine said grabbing her hand and taking her upstairs she led her to the room and( it was decorated beautifully a replica to her old room but still it wasn't her room and remembering that she felt bad and was wishing her mom was there with her ). Thank you aunty she said to Catherine and she was shocked because her boss's children were always rude and dominant and she knew Ashley's parents were richer so she was expecting her to be rude also but seeing that the parents of this girl taught her well she was happy….. Come on go wash up and let’s change your clothes, she went inside and did as she was told and with the help of Catherine she changed into a floral knee length gown and she looked so cute…..but the child could care less about looking cute she was disheartened…..

( She followed Catherine down the stairs and she sat where she was instructed, she ate silently until her aunt broke the silent). Sorry about your parents dear not to worry we would treat you very well just like one of our own…Ashley only smiled politely….and they continued eating in silence…. After dinner she was about to go back to her room when her uncle called her…Ash baby come here please….Yes uncle……You called me you would be starting school with your cousins on Monday I just wanted to inform you they would be close to you always and you would not have to worry about being alone ok? Yes uncle,thank you…..That would be all,go to your room ( he patted her hair ). (Slamming his study door angrily, Morgan his wife barged in ). Why is she going to the same school as our kids and not a public school we have no money to waste on her,we have our own children to worry about, Morgan said angrily. I can afford to pay for me and she’s my brother's child and me taking care of her and giving her the best education is not a mistake do you understand that ; Thomas retorted angrily….( she slammed a file on the desk and left angrily).

Monday*** New school….Ashley woke up early and with the help of Catherine she dressed up fast and was ready in few seconds…..During breakfast of toast and te,she ate well but was slow…..eventually she finished eating and her uncle dropped them in the front of the school, have a nice day he said to her and be a good girl c'mon run along ( she smiled at him and he waved at her ). We do not want you around us in school so pretend like you don’t know us Davies suddenly spoke up…..Yes mommy says you’re bad luck that’s why tour parents died leaving only you…Stephanie chipped in…..I am not padlock don't say such bad words my mommy says it’s not good…. Ashley says and was already close to tears…. David the quiet one suddenly spoke out,come i would take you to your class….turning to Davies you can go i would meet you in class ( he groaned and left stumping his foot ). Come on girls let’s go( He took her to her class apparently she and Stephanie are classmates ). This is my cousin, Mrs Katherine she is staying with us now, her name is Ashley….David introduced her to her Homeroom teacher….
