Ella without cinders

Growing in my shadow

Ten years have passed and Ann is still trying her best to take everything I own the only difference is that her mother Claire passed due to cancer.... I don't want to say how happy I was when she finally passed out even though Ann was crying out her evil eyes.

Currently I am working in an app development company and to coat my frustration Ann was also working here, when we were about to write our college exam ann was hell bent on studying nursing but immediately I said I was going for software engineering she switched to do the same and my dad said there wasn't any problem, I was disappointed at first buty disappointment grew when she applied to the same company I applied to and we were both employed, I immediately knew that she was a witch.

"miss Mac collin!" our HR screamed from her office

"yes ma'am"

"yes ma'am"

we both screamed making everyone burst into laughter

'yea I hope she is very happy now' I thought feeling very embarrassed

"miss bell I am trying to call you" the HR said pointing my direction

"we are both bell ma'am" Ann foolishly said

"Annabella" the HR said reluctantly rolling her eye as I followed her into the office

"photocopy all this and make sure it's sorted the new director Mr. park is starting next week and I need everything to be perfect he is the chairman's son" she said looking very serious,

"ok ma'am" I replied immediately

after the tough day at work I was in my apartment when my phone rang and it was maya,

"hey gurrr!" she screamed through the phone

"aren't lawyers supposed to be busy?" I asked with a tired voice

"come on baby Gur it's Friday" she said playfully

"it's weekend b***h!!!" Kim screamed from the background

"what are you two mad people doing together" I asked laughing

"we are coming over to get ready The club starts by 11 o'clock" Maya screamed

*************************************************

Even though Ann wasn't my dad's biological daughter she still took good care of dad, she was still leaving with him even when I didn't come home again, dad always nagged me about coming home but I only do that some Sundays since I am always busy with work.

Ann grew up to be as very beautiful lady, we were both 28 but the fact that she decided to live in my shadows baffled me, when her mum died I thought dad would take her to an orphanage and I was sure she thought the same because she changed a little at thet time but dad didn't and she became more arrogant.

after seeing her together with James when we were 18 I later found out they started dating and I could swear she was mocking me then because she always talked. about all the stuffs she did with James with Becky her best friend anytime I was around.

James wasn't the only guy she took from me though, I dated total of 5 guys in college and she made sure to date them it was so crazy that there was a time she dyed her hair blond to impersonate me in school I was so furious that I almost went for a hair cut but dad said we were sisters and that is what sisters do........ WE WEREN'T EVEN RELATED!!!!!!

***************************************************

My door bell rang an I knew it was my two crazy friends so I rushed to open up

"U aren't ready!" Kim screamed

"I got confused on what to wear" I said

after series of selection we were all dressed up

Kim was putting on a short red sequence gown with I little slit by the left side of the lap and I black heel

Maya was putting on a short black leather skirt and a show back sequence material silver coloured top that nearly covered her breast area and I black boot with heels

I was putting on a short golden colour sequence material show back gown with slit in both sides and a golden heel

at the club we danced and drank until I forgot I had a tough day at work,

"hey miss do you care for a dance" a voice asked leaning towards my chair

I was too drunk to reply but Maya's kick brought me back to reality..... "of course she will" Maya answered as she wickedly kicked me,

and that was when I saw the person talking to me

he was putting on a complete set of clothes but I could tell he was chiseled on the inside, he had black hair I couldn't see his face well but I could tell he was Asian.

"shhh......shh ..... sure" I replied stammering

"I am Leo by the way what about you" he asked

"Ella.... I mean Annabella" I replied looking directly at his chest to. avoid eye contact

"you are pretty " he said gently raising my face with his index finger and brushing my lips with his thumb,

"th.... t..th .. thanks" I stammered totally mesmerized by his looks

"it's getting noisy here .... Wanna step out with me?" Leo bent over and whispered to my ear

I got goosebumps all over immediately his warm breath touched my skin and I subbered up immediately,

"b... but it's lonely outside it's already 2am" I replied

"I lodged in a hotel close by hope you don't mind" Leo said

"no problem" I replied but within me I was screaming not to go with him

"wait!!!!" I screamed as we were about to leave

"What's the problem miss Ella" he asked looking a bit worried

" my friends..... I have to inform them first" I replied hurriedly going over to Maya and Kimberly

"I am waiting" he replied

"hey girls" I said looking frightened and excited at the same time

"Ella what's the problem that dude is giving luxury whey aren't U together" Maya asked as Kim brought me closer ready to kill me if my reason wasn't genuine enough

"he said I should follow him to his suit" I said and immediately pressed my upper lip and lower lip together

"do you realise that you are 28" Kim asked dropping her gaze into my hazel green eye

"seriously are you planning on becoming a nun?" Maya asked

"no" I answered

"here" Kim said giving a pepper spray

"and call us if anything happens make sure your phone location is on" may said

"thanks" I replied hugging them both before leaving.

On our way to the hotel Leo asked if I needed anything and I requested food, when we got there I was so nervous because he just went straight to the bathroom I started practicing on how to use my pepper spray but the next minute he was out still on his outfit,

"I prepared the bath tube for you it's worm now, I noticed your clothes were very light so I figured U would be feeling cold " he said standing close to the door

"is it a trap?"I thought to myself so I decided to go in with the pepper spray and to my surprise he really did prepare the bath tube

after striping I was relaxing in the bath tube covering my body with food and enjoying the scented candles when I heard his voice again

"can I join you?"

my heart drop! 'what was his plan' I thought....

"if you say no then I won't" he said

my head was screaming NO but my mouth ended up saying "COME IN"

immediately he opened the door my heart dropped again this time not because of fear but because I was speechless...... he was totally naked !!!.....

I know I wasn't a virgin but it was my first time bathing with a man and this man's body was killing me!!!!!....
