Chapter 1
What should I do with my life? Should I just end it? It's not as if anyone needs me, "Leah thought.
Leah: Her boss called her, but she was lost in thought.
Imagine if I were rich and driving to school with a lot of cars and bodyguard guards. I wouldn't have to be doing all this part-time work.
This is tiring. "Should I just sell all my family? They are not useful to me; I will just have all the money to myself, "Leah thought, smiling with her stupid imagination.
Mr. Leon, who is her boss, hit his hand on the table that was in front of her.
What?? Leah shouted and also hit the table.
"You are fired," Mr. Leon said as he walked away from his front door.
Why do you have to disturb my imagination? If I can't enjoy my life in real life, at least let me enjoy it. Why imagine, you've spoiled everything now because of your stupid delivery?" Leah said.
Wait !! Am I really fired? She asked happily," because I am already tired of working with you."
No !! You are not on fire, just kidding.
We have a lot of deliveries today. You should be snappy about it," Mr. Leon said.
Leah hissed," You can never talk about something good apart from delivery.
I will later deliver you as well if care is not taken, boss, "she said, putting on her helmet. She seat on her bike.
After adjusting the delivery box, she ignited the engine at high speed.
The way she was riding her bike, people thought she was a boy.
No time to waste, she said, maneuvering all the cars and bikes besides her.
When she got to where she was going, she slowed down and packed her bike. in front of a house
She took the pizza boxes and knocked on the door.
A guy came out with a towel only wrapped around his waist.
Leah turned back when she saw the guy.
Can't you put on something, or don't you have clothes? She said and hissed
What is your problem? The guy said
Here have this, this is your delivery, "she said, stretching the pizza boxes to him without facing him.
The guy collected and paid.
Why is she behaving strangely? The guy said so and entered.
Leah breathed out in relief and walked back to where she packed her bike.
She was about to start her bike when a car passed by her side and splashed water on her.
Come back here, "she shouted.
"what do I do? She said it in her language.
I won't let him get away with this, she said, and she started her bike, following the car that splashed water on her.
She got out of the car and knocked on the glass.
Should I stop the car? It seems we splash water on her," the driver asked.
No ! The guy replied,
Leah takes another shot, cuts, and parks in front of the road, waiting for him to pass.
Let me see how you get away," she said, leaning on the bike with her helmet on.
She smirked when She saw their car coming. She poured a lot of nails on the road, making their car stop.
Why do you stop? He asked the driver
I don't know what happened, sir; the car stopped by itself, "the driver replied, getting down to check what happened.
He saw that the nails had spoiled the tires.
Leah moved closer to them, tapping the driver from behind.
You again," the driver said.
Yeah ! Why didn't you wait when I was stopping you?
You have to waste my time following you around; you even make me waste all my nails, "Leah said, kicking the driver on his legs.
What !!! She heard a guy's voice from the car.
Really!! You are not alone, Leah said, and she walked to the other sides of the car.
Come down! She said, putting her hands on her waist.
Are you scared? Come out before I drag you out myself, she said, knocking on the door.
The door opened, and the guy walked out.
How dare you stop me? The guy said
And who are you that I can't stop? "Leah asked.
Seriously! You don't know me, he said.
I have many jobs to do other than knowing someone as stupid as you, Leah said.
I doubt if you will be able to stand there after hearing my name, he said.
What ? Did your name come with a price? Leah said
You will end up in jail," he said.
Who are you? Leah shouted
Aiden Collins, the guy, said.
I thought as much: if you were not one of those spoiled brats, then who will you be? Leah said, and she took her leave.
Aiden stared at her and took a picture of her bike; he could not see her face because she was wearing a helmet.
Leah glared at him one more time before riding her bike away.
Weird!! Aiden muttered and asked the driver to get another car.
★ Bron's house ★
Leah entered the house and met her stepmother and stepsister in the sitting room, watching movies.
Her father traveled for his work.
Leah greeted them, and they looked at her and laughed.
That is the way they treat her. Where is the money I asked for? Eliza asked
Elizabeth is Leah's stepmother.
I am not your money machine. Leah said.
What did you just say? Eliza asked, moving closer to her.
If she needs money, she can go out and work.
She has two legs and two hands, so why must I be working for you?" Leah said, but a sounding slap landed on her cheeks.
How dare you complain? Eliza
Where is all the money you got today? She asked, stretching her hand.
I won't leave it, Leah said adamantly, holding her cheeks.
Avery, who is Leah's stepdaughter, stood up and pulled her hair.
How dare you talk to my mother that way? She said pulling her hair more
Let go of my hair, Leah said, pushing Avery away.
She ran out of the house in tears.
Never return to this house again if you still need your life." Avery shouted
Leah sat at a bus stop that was far from her house.
I should have given it to her. I won't be able to go to that house anymore.
If I do, they will skin me alive," she said.
Where do I begin? She said
Her eyes saw a banner that was pasted on the wall.
She read what was written on it.
A nanny is needed at Collin's mansion.
Really!!! I should go for this, Leah said.
But I don't have much knowledge about babies.
No problem, I can manage, she said, and she stood up.
She went to one of the shops where she works and asked them to allow her to spend the night there.
The woman accepts Leah because she is not a bad girl; she knows what she can do.
