Christina Gray comes from one of the founding families in the town of Paddington, a family popular for being an all boys family now with one girl, when the news broke the whole town was buzzing but all joy sometimes comes with bad news on the day Christina was born her mother passed away leaving herself, twin brother and her three older brother without their mother. Growing up, Christina didn’t really go through the popular princess live of a rich billionaire only daughter live, no it was the opposite. She was never given attention not even the tiniest bit of attention from her father and her brothers treated her twice like he was a king but when they saw her they would ignore her and even sometimes bully her along side their friends it was always the butler and head maid that took care of her sometimes she felt like they were her real parents well all that disappeared when Mr. Gray changed the entire staff that staff that had been with the family for decades which left Christina at the mercy of her brothers and the staff that boot licking for favours. Christina tried to get close to her brothers and her father but was always shunned, looked at with disgust, hatred, and disdain. The house staff didn’t help in the matter, they always looked for one way or the other. They always ignored her leaving the child to fend for herself, Christina thought that it was her family training her to be strong in a harsh way and she always told herself not to cave in and to push harder, not to give up and that the storm would be over very soon but all that died when something terrible happened. That day was the day Christina knew what her family really thought of her, the twins had recently turned five although the party thrown was only for Christian, she wasn’t even allowed to cone out to enjoy the party like a normal child, that alone broke the child’s hearth which made her recall all the birthday she was made to spend alone was actually celebrating her twin brother and not her ah spent days been depressed. A week later, their was chaos in the mansion Christian had a cold and that alone turned the entire house upside down, the maids were running around tending to the young master and lending a hand to Dr Kyle and his assistant Fred, Kyle was a good friend of Mr. Hagan and their family doctor. Though the cold wasn’t anything serious, but they had to take good care of Mr. Hagans last son like a jewel. While they were all running around one of the maids noticed that all day the little mistress had not stepped out of her room at all that day which was strange, on a normal day the little girl would be there at the door of the little masters room seeing if he was alright and try to give a helping hand but she was no where in the sight of anyone. The maid was surprised at the state of the little girl when she opened the door to find her drenched in sweat and running a very high temperature, The little mistress was sick with a high fever, she tried to call for a colleague to tell the doctor but no one answered as they had their hands full with the little master, so she decided to stay with the little girl and take care of her. When Christina’s fever came down the maid was on her way out to change the water and get fresh towels from the store she ran into the young masters and the doctor, at first she didn’t see it as anything big until Marcus started yelling at her not paying attention to her work, she tried to explain that his sister was sick and she couldn’t leave her on her on as he Marcus kept yelling he said, “Who cares about that murderer that killed our mother” Christina was awake to hear him say this, “Christian is sick and you’re taking care of this abomination something that shouldn’t be alive and you say you weren’t slacking off, it would have been better if you said you were taking care of the dog that this worthless piece of trash” Marcus finally calmed down and kept quiet, Reagan asked to pay her severance and to escort her out of the mansion. The maid stood there not in shock, but for the fact that she had lost her job but the fact that the little girl behind her was despised this much by her family and the doctor didn’t do anything to stop the child from altering such as the butler grabbed her to escort her out she looked back at the child what sat on her bed tears rolling down her eyes in shock at what she heard only then did the maid see what the rest failed to see, how alone the little girl was. After hearing all that was said Christina sat in her room for day crying and realised that her brothers whom she saw as role models and her dear father whom she looked up to appease and wanted to look back at her with love just like he looked at her twin always hated her and considered her the reason why their mother had died. For the days to cone Christina walked down the halls looking at the pictures hung on the wall which were of her father, senior brothers, twin brother and her mother and none of her, it dawned on her that she was never part of their family but an extra mouth to feed. Since then she never tried to be part of their family of five.
