Shattered pieces
Dad why did you leave me in this wicked world I need you dad!!
A beautiful girl was dreaming,sweat covered her forehead which make her hair to stick to her face,she was sleep talking. She held her bed s**t tight and her pink lips were trembling.
Her skin was pale and smooth,her eyelashes were long and curled. She has a pointed nose and her lips were like strawberry. She was a definition of beauty even with the messy cloth.
Knock!
Knock!! Ariana!!,Ariana !!
She heard her name been called,she immediately stood up and went to open the door.
(Ariana’s POV)
I woke up by a heavy knock on my door, my head was hurting so badly. The person kept knocking i immediately stood up to open the door.
Don’t tell me you are still sleeping by this time you pig, my aunt was very angry.
Fear gripped me, seeing my aunt first in the morning was a bad luck. I would be beaten throughout today,I thought.
Why are you staring at me like that?
She put her hands on her waist and was looking at me with disgust.
Aunty I worked throughout yesterday till in the midnight. I didn’t get enough rest and my eyes are still heavy.
My eyes were swollen with eye bags and dark circles.
Wow so you are telling me am wicked huh? The work is too much right. She moved closer to me and was ready to slap me.
I dodged the slap and then quickly apologize.
Am sorry aunt I did not mean it that way,I will take my bath now.
Two minutes!!! She eyed me from head to toe then left.
Gosh I was relieved, I immediately took my bath then pack my hair to a messy bun. I wore a black torn gown which looks like rag. It’s one of my aunt daughter old clothes.
I’m Ariana Jones,am an orphan. My dad died in a plane crash from what my aunt told me.
My mom, am not sure but people were saying different stories like;
“She’s dead”
“She has a terrible diseases that’s why she ran away”
“She ran away with a man”
Different people with different stories to tell. I was living a happy life with my dad when I was still young until death separated us.
I began to live with my grandma,soon she kicked the bucket. I was left with only my aunt,my dad younger sister.
I was really happy to meet my cousins and my aunt not knowing my suffering just started.
My aunt has two demons has her children. A boy and a girl “ Natasha and kelvin” they all made life a living hell.
She walked out from her room and then start arranging the house. She cleaned everywhere and then make breakfast.
She worked for two hours without resting, when she was done she went to her cousins room and then called them for breakfast.
Kelvin was playing video game, he was distracted by Ariana so he lost the game.
You b*tch you made me loose this game I will kill you. He threw a bottle at her, lucky it didn’t hit her.
Am sorry kelvin just want to inform you breakfast is ready. She immediately apologized.
Get lost and close my f**king door just pray i win this game again.
She immediately closed the door. She went to the kitchen straight to eat her breakfast.
What is this!!! Natasha screamed which make Ariana to come out from the kitchen hurriedly.
What is it my dear?Abigail immediately patted her daughters back
Mom the food is terrible,Ariana wants to kill me I don’t know what I did to her. Nana began to cry.
Nana nothing is wrong with this food.Abigail ate from nana’s food.
Mom are you siding her now ? This thing want to kill me. Nana pointed at Ariana who was shocked by the whole drama.
Is that true? Abigail gave her a dead look.
No .... I .... why...the food is good am not planning to kill her she did not do anything to me. her body began to tremble.
So you mean my daughter is lying. Abigail stood up and gave her a hot slap.
Mom she’s pretending she really has bad intentions I have noticed it. Maybe that’s why kelvin didn’t come to eat he has been suspecting her. Nana smirked.
Ariana held her red cheek tears were formed in her eyes.
Ooh now I know,you hate nana because of her beauty and intelligence keep dreaming you can’t do anything to her for the fact that you are still under my roof.
Am so sorry ma’am.
Go and tell your useless mother sorry. She hissed.
