His arrogant and charming wife

Mom's birthday

Very quickly it has been for  months since the death of my parents i buried my grief at the farthest corner my heart trying to start a new with my uncle. I doubt if i am being over sensitive but every one has been given me the irritated looks when i see them, i brushed the of a my over thinking.

Today was April 12th my moms birthday so i decided to visit her grave for the first time since her death. I met my cousin at the foot of the stairs i smiled, good morning Bailey i greeted my cousin she just glanced at me and walked pass me heading up stairs without a word i found it weird but chose to brush it of. Heading to the kitchen i met my aunt Lucy  having a coffee so i greeted her and she replied with a hum. I date down i doubt i was imaging things but the change in attitude of everyone was becoming more noticeable by me, after finishing my peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk i headed upstairs for some  change of clothes,i could feel my aunt gaze trailing behind me till i got to my room.

At the cemetery.

Standing before the grave of my loved ones i felt a sudden urge to cry but i held it in refusing to let it drop. Hi mom happy birthday hi dad,hi Damian i hope you are Happy up there i know you are watching over me. I will live well and make you proud i promise. I sat down on the grass for a while before going back home.

Its been two months now since i last visited the grave things has gone from bad to worst at first my cousin ignored me then she started given me nasty and scornful looks,there was also my aunt also nit picking on everything i deed then she started yelling and always giving me mean looks. My uncle always turned a blind eye to what was happening. I was always had to be cautious two whatever i did so as not to make them angry.

It got worst as time went by i someone times ask my self what i did wrong. I had to do the dishes clean the house,cook basically i was a substitute of a made. I never took it as a punishment cause mom says its a duty as a wife to take care of the household.  But as time went on i was deprived of going out of the house, my credit card was seized with the excuse of i was too young to use one.

Now i get abused by my cousin and get beaten up by my aunt when she's in a bad mood. My other cousin Anthony never really abused or hurt me but treated me as if i was air and never existed. Everything that i once owned was slowly taken away from me from my dresses to my room everything i owned was snatched away by Bailey. 

I missed my parents i missed my friend Jasmine who was at a boarding school  so we couldn't see each other.

Six years later.

I was walking on the street back home,it was getting mush more colder each passing day during the month of December. I turned around when i felt i was been followed  seeing there was no one i shrugged it of  quickened my pace to reach home on time so as to avoid unwanted worries from my cousin and aunt. 

When i reached the house i was happy to see only my cousin was back from her shopping. Get me a glass of milk she ordered. I gave her a side glance ignoring her demand. Hey didn't you hear me speaking to you i said get me a warm glass of milk.

I paused and turn around to look at her, dear cousin if you want me to finish preparing lunch and get lost please stop waisting my time and let me do my job i said nonchalantly and  quickly headed to the kitchen to start preparing lunch as early as possible since i was informed guests would be arriving by 1:00 pm so i got to work by the time i was done i could hear the sound of the engine outside.

 I quickly served the dishes,i grabbed an apple from the fridge and headed to my room since my presence was always a problem especially when guests were invited home but i had special plans for the family today. Not after what i found out they did , i would make them pay for my pain, but for now i keep up the act. I now leave in the maids room which was much more smaller than my room. I sniffed my arm before taking my dress of,girl you stink i said to myself whiles heading to the shower for a warm bath

After a shower i grabbed a pair of jeans and a sweater which were all my old clothes and some were thrown at me by Bailey when she dislikes it  from the wardrobe before changing into them. I stood before the mirror i had  phoenix shaped eyebrow ,bushy eye lashes and had dimples which deepens when ever i smiled i got that from my mother..  brushing my chest nut colour hair i let it fall freely which fall down to my waist i was always proud of my long hair

I headed down stairs to clear up the dishes,normally at this time time lunch would have been over. I heard sounds of laughter when i passed by the living room on my way to the kitchen,so i turned to have a look. The entire family of four were having conversation with an elderly couple  whom i knew well, he was my dad's friend and there was also young man with them which is most likely their son since he looked more like his mother who Bailey was glancing shyly at i rolled my eyes at her ridiculously obvious behavior before heading to the  kitchen to get my plan in action. I was spotted by my cousin who gave aunt Lucy a nudge pointing at me with her chin, i smirked lightly when i saw their little exchange but pretended not to .
