Mafia Twins

Crystal I was awoken by a loud banging from downstairs. I looked at my clock and it was only 7am, 3 hours sleep, just great, all I need to start the day. It was my fault really as I did not finish all my chores till late the previous evening and then had warmish dinner, then could not get to sleep. My name is Crystal Saunders and I live with my Step mother Maria, you could say I am a bit like the Samantha character in the film A Cinderella Story but take out the stepsisters part, but I do sleep in the attic and serve maria left right and centre and never get to do anything myself. My mother died not long after giving birth to me, then it was just me and my dad Hector, I cannot remember much about my childhood memories and when Maria came into the picture it all changed. Dad met her when I was 12 but a year later, he died in a car accident which I see as very strange as it was such short marriage. There was a Will which Maria got everything that my dad owned. He adored me of what I can seem to remember but I was not in the Will at all. Another thing that I am very superstitious about. Not long after dad died everything changed, had to move my sleeping quarters to the attic, it was not much but I made it sleep able for me. Maria gave me list to do every day and only get snack at lunch and medium size meal at dinner time, so I was bit under fed. I did attend school until I turned 16 but Maria forced me to leave school and attend to her needs. Always so selfish that women, was not allowed any friends round or to even go out and explore the world. Maria always told me “Crystal, no one will want you as their friend, you’re not that pretty or bright either. Your role is to live and serve, nothing else”. Thanks Maria, such kind words, yeah right b***h I thought to myself. Once I got out of bed and made it neat and tidy, I looked at myself at the cracked broken mirror which was next to my chest of drawers. My long dark brown messy bed hair that nearly touches my bum brushed all the knots out and put in a back plait so it would be out of the way, my hazel brown eyes with some bags underneath due to lack of sleep. I would say that my body is perfect, little bit curvy on the hips but some parts I do look bit underweight due to not enough meals. I quickly got dressed into some black leggings and blue strap top to get messy in, brushed  my teeth and did my business before heading down the stairs to look at a very impatient Maria with her arms crossed round her chest and her right feet repeatably tapping on the floor. “What time do you call this girl?” Maria demanded. “I am so sorry ma’am; I didn’t go to bed till very late as I had to finish all the chores you have given me”. I pleaded, but to no avail “Don’t give me any excuses young lady, it doesn’t matter how many chores I give you, it’s your fault that you’re slow. You are 18 now, you should be quick on your feet. Now listen very carefully as I will only say this once. I am having an especially important guest tonight; he is one of the top men that works with the Mala Del brothers. One of the most feared mafia in the industry. Here is today’s list I want you to get done by lunch time and then when you are done take some rest, then at 5pm freshen up and there will be a dress and shoes for you to wear ready for you”. With a grin smile “Yes mam”. I replied then she left. What is she up to that involves me? as this day is quite different than the rest and acting bit nicer too.
