LOST

Chapter 1

Amelia's pov:

I am getting late to go to college. Even though I woke up early and had done everything but a coffee! I really don't know where I am making a mistake , since this is the third cup but she didn't like it yet. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes cold. As I made another coffee i am just hoping God please let this coffee be the last one today.

I put the coffee on the table in front of her, As I turned " You little b***h, you burnt my tongue" My stepmother Isabella yelled and threw the hot coffee on my neck, luckily not on my face. ." AHH" Is the only thing that came out of my mouth. Tears were fighting to come out but somehow I managed not to let them fall. With a sigh I say " I am sorry Ma'am , I will make another"

Yeah you heard me right. Even though she is my step Mother but From the day I came here with my dad I became their slave. My step Mother and her daughter make my life a living hell. Even My dad I can't even have the right to address him dad. Yet this is my family.

I took the cup and was about to leave"Make it fast, I don't have the whole day for you " she said rudely. I nodded and went back to the kitchen. Even though this isn't new for me I couldn't stop my tears from falling for too long . I wish I could go back to my childhood where I lived with my Mom.

I stop crying and wipe the tears on my face. I can't waste time on this I am already getting late to go to college But before I make another coffee I wash my neck from cold water, just to give a little bit of relief to the pain I am in right now.

After trying several times, I could finally make one she likes. After that I took a quick shower and went to college as soon as possible.

It was already the end of the first period so I waited a little bit and after my professor went out I sneaked inside. " Where were you?" Asha my bestie whispered, as I sat next to her. " like always, the same" I replied with a fake smile. she nodded with a sigh. I can see she feels pity for me.

I was taking the notes I missed today when Asha Came and asked " Let's grab some food?" While closing the book and putting it back in the bag I replied " sorry dear not today Otherwise I will be late for My work." " but I am sure you didn't have your breakfast too how can you work with an empty stomach?" She is the only one who cares about me . I feel glad to have her by my side. " You know How is My boss right! I can't afford a minute late Otherwise he will cut half of my salary and I need that a lot " I replied with a sad face " you don't worry, I will eat something after going to work " while running out of the college.

I am working in a cafe, yeah the famous businessman's eldest daughter is earning money by working as a waiter. but it's fine for me as long as it fulfills my needs. I still remember the day I requested to join college and complete my study at first they said It's a waste of time but suddenly the next day My step mother mind Changed and said yes but with the condition that I have to do all the house chores before going to work. I agreed as long as I could study I was willing to do anything. It doesn't matter how early I have to wake up. But when I needed books and other accessories, they refused to give a raise to my pocket money on which I couldn't buy a healthy meal. Meanwhile Mia, my half sister is spending millions on her makeup only.

So I decided to do a job but for that I had to give up the pocket money and have to clean the kitchen, wash the dishes, and if Mia is giving a party I have to wait until she's done Not to enjoy but to clean the mess she created. Only with their approval I could even sleep. But still I am willing to do it Only to save money and when I turn 18 I could use the savings to find my Mom. Back then I promised my Mother that I would obey dad until I turned 18. After that I will be free.

I still Don't know why she gave my responsibility to Dad Only if she knows How I am living as a slave here? But soon I will turn 18 and go to find the truth.

I Changed to my waiter uniform as soon as I entered. And started my work even though my stomach is nonstop groaning. " Hey here have some food" The chef uncle said while giving a plate of noodles. He always knows when I am hungry. I feel Thankful to meet such a nice person like him. I kept the dishes I was washing aside and enjoyed the food. " Ummm delicious" I moan as always. Chef uncle chuckled and left back to his job.

I was so tired after none stopped working but sadly I can't go to sleep because I still have work to do at home. I kept my bag and was about to go into the kitchen " Hey Ugly duckling, come here" Mia my half sister's voice made me turn. " What are you waiting for? come Mom wants to talk to you" She yelled. I nodded and headed towards them. My dad was sitting on the sofa and playing with his phone didn't even give a glance to me. I still don't know why he hates me? Why did my Mom and Dad divorce? But I always wish at least once he talks me with love and care as a Dad.
