1062 Words
"You are so clumsy, Kelly and Mr. Hanks will only look at you with disgust since you do not want to change," I said to myself as I walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. This is the worst day of my life, not only breaking the bowl of soup but also running away without cleaning it. I didn't do it willingly, what was I thinking about staying there in the first place? in fact, if I had known that Mr. Alexander Hanks was coming I the house, I would have been prepared. The portion of food had added, and I didn't understand why, asking it was even the hardest task, so I decided to brush my mind away from it till I saw him, he was there in all shades of handsomeness, staring at me, while I was dumbfounded. I didn't even know what to do. I heard the ripples of laughter downstairs, there is no doubt that they are enjoying themselves, and there is nothing I can do, locked behind my door. My sweet scented room with pink gel and millions of stickers on the wall couldn't help in comforting me, I was so doomed and there is nothing I can do. Slipping into my sweat pants, I wore a long-sleeved pullover before sliding on the bed. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, well, feeling terrible was a natural part of me, but hearing Jennifer's constant laugh from downstairs ached my heart so much. The idea of leaving this house filled my mind, I didn't have a lot of money, and the ones left by my parents were placed under my guardians, and they didn't give me more than a penny from it. Mr. Harper is the architect of the whole plot, and he suppressed his lady from saying anything. This is the money they live on daily, fattening their bellies, yet look unhappy and broke as ever. Grabbing a romance novel from the side bed, I had the urge to escape from the dramas of this home, reading was the perfect refuge for me. Unfortunately, there was no way for me to concentrate, the laughter was now too much, I could barely understand why Jennifer will laugh so hard as If she was having the be at the time of her life, or maybe it was just to provoke me. I took the latter to heart and wept my sole away. I cried not only because she laughed so hard, but because I would have been there by now sharing their fun if I was not so stupid to make one mistake and ruin my face in front of Alexander, I wonder what image he has of me right now. Covering the novel, I pushed it aside weeping so hard, why will such things happen to me? why am I being so unlucky, and the man I saved years ago is presently dating my cousin, isn't this enough punishment for me? I wondered. Rolling my eyes in disappointment, I brushed my face away, digging it deep in the pillow. After about an hour or two, I couldn't tell, but I heard the doors open and closed, and a car steaming downstairs. I rushed out of the bed, hurrying to stand by the window sill, hiding from whom I thought was there, and as I saw him, he ignited his BMW latest version, kicking it at full gear and driving away. The scene was the best I've ever seen, and knowing that I lacked the courage to tell him that I am the girl from hears behind, I feared that he might have forgotten about me, I wondered if that was the case, and it seemed to be so. My fear of rejection pushed me away from it. The house was now calm and only the sound of the television could be heard. I was so damn hungry, and also thirsty. The latter was the most dominant, so I cleaned my tears hoping that no one wouldn't notice that I've been crying. Slowly opening the door, I closed it behind me, walking gently downstairs. I stopped when I heard the noise coming from the people who were there. "I am happy you allowed us to proceed with the plan darling, now, see our daughter has secured herself a potential suitor, isn't that enough reason to celebrate some more?" Mr. Harper questioned. My heart drooped immediately I heard this, and since I was still upstairs, they couldn't see me, but I saw all of them. Mr. Harper sat on a rocking chair in front of the TV, while his lazy daughter on the could, sitting comfortably, Aunt Melissa was on a sofa, and she was so absent as if her husband wasn't talking to her. "Reduce your voice, Kelly might hear us you know?" she said gently. "To hell with that silly niece of yours, Melissa, how will she know that we killed her parents? she has no proves, and besides, we paid someone to cut off the brakes, we didn't kill them ourselves. By the way, fifty million Dollars has been the deal since then, we have enriched ourselves or aren't you happy with the new car, clothes and shows you know have? come on, honey, that is our secret, and it will belong to our family as long as we keep quiet, and no one sells the secret, okay?" Mr. Harper said. For a moment, I felt like I was stocked to the stairs, my head was spinning, and I couldn't move. It is evident they didn't know I was here, and with all this information, I discovered that I have been leaving with wolves in sheep clothing. I had the urge to scream but thought it wise to keep calm. Holding my hand against my mouth firmly, I knew that I had to seek revenge. The Harpers have to pay for my life in which they ruined, they will definitely pay for it. Silently walking into my room, I closed the door behind me, rushing to my bed. I was afraid because I don't want to do this on my own, but then, I discovered I don't have to do it alone, Alexander Hanks owe me for saving his life once, now it would be the perfect time to help me too.
