Sweet girl

The rays of the sun entered into my room through the window lightening up the room , reminding me that it's a new morning . I checked the tym it was already 8:00 am oh my Goodness I will be late for work .

I quickly rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and have a quick shower , cause I was already getting late for work. I rushed down to the dining table to have my break fast .

Thinking I will be having a peaceful breakfast without any interruptions but my wishes and thought failed when I heard my step mom voice.

Stella we're are u rushing to this morning ? I got work to do charlottes I shouted back . Then I heard the most annoying voice ever , stella don't u dare address my wife in such manner .

I quickly apologize thinking it will solve the issue but no it didn't . Then I heard that annoying voice again , stella were do u think ur going ? Am going to work father , since when did u start working and where ? He asked again , I just got the job last week , and I work as a waitress at amber restaurant .

Since your mother died you have not only brought shame but also disgrace , for saint peters sake why will u be working in a restaurant?

Why can't u behave like your sister and make the family proud ?

If they is anything I hate it's been compared to Amelia , I turned towards her seeing her grinning at me .

I felt like punching her and remove that grin from her face , but I couldn't right now because of the personality she had built ; to be seen as gentle and sweet.

Sister please don't take what dad said to heart he just wants the best for u , I scoffed hearing what she said , if I didn't know her I would think that she is just been thoughtful but knowing that was one of her tactics I let it slide .

After this whole drama I boarded a taxi my Work place I was scared knowing I was late and I might get fired .

As I entered I met the angry face of my manager I knew I was in big trouble .

Stella is this de time a normal employee is supposed to come to work ?

I was shivering because I was scared I would loose my job .Am really sorry sir , I promise it won't happen again . Oh God please save me I prayed in my mind.

Miss Stella I hope you will keep to your promise, because if this repeats it self next, you would kiss your job goodbye .

Upon hearing this i Was so happy , thank you so much sir , for giving me a second chance , I promise to cherish it .

Suit yourself miss Stella and get to work quickly before I change my mind. He said that and left .

I hurried with the speed of light to the changing room , I changed my cloth to our uniform forgetting to look at the mirror cause I was really in a haste

I met my very best friend Annie on my way to the kitchen . Hey baby , hi sweet heart , why are you coming by this time , and how did u get pass manager Ethan without been fired?

Annie one question at a time , I said before laughing cause it was funny given the expression on her face

Okay , to answer your first question I got into an argument with my dad his wife and Amelia.

And for the second question I just pleaded with him and he allowed me to stay . That's all .

Just that , are u sure she asked and I said yes that means you're really lucky , cause he fired someone for coming late a minute before you came .

Hearing this I knew the heavens were on my side , the thought of loosing my job made me sick.

It's like you both have nothing to do , when I heard that voice I felt like my heart left my body for some seconds and I came to my senses . No sir we chorused together . Now get back to work he commanded.

We left to our various stand . The restaurant was a bit crowded today , cause customer kept coming and leaving .

To the point we're we ran out of orders , we were all very busy that we forgot it was already past midnight . We received an order from our manager that we can go home and take a day off tomorrow.

With extra commission inclusive as compensation for extra time . This alone lightened my mood cause I was already regretting coming to work today.

Leaving my work place I knew I had trouble waiting for me at home , the thought of it alone makes me want to cry ,cause I don't feel wanted since the death of my mother.

I immediately called my boyfriend Carlton , cause I saw tons of messages from him.

Hey babe , Stacey were are u , I've been calling you ur not taking my call, sorry babe I worked extra time today , you would have called , you got me scared , am really sorry.

Were are u now ? , On my way home I said ,okay stay safe and see you tomorrow love you , love you too .

The call ended , since they was no taxi or cab on the road I decided to walk back home. On reaching there I saw no one on the dining table I felt relieved because , I was not ready for a question and answer section . Hurried to my room , took my bath , wore my night gown and lay on my bed cause I was really tired . I drifted to the land of slumber .

As I drifted away in the land of slumber , i saw myself in a garden filled with beautiful flowers and lilies , ranging from different colours and size . Mother I shouted , then she smiled at me , sweet girl she said . Mother we're have u been I've missed you , I've always been with you , and I hugged her tears rolled my eyes , sweet girl why are u crying , mother please promise you wouldn't leave , she nodded and immediately I woke up .

Drenched in sweat and tears on my eyes , this same dream . I cried for a long time cause memories started playing on my head.

FLASHBACK

Mom what are u preparing , hey look who is here , my sweet girl , just go upstairs and change ur uniform and your food will be ready Okay mommy I said and I hurried to my room to change .

END OF FLASHBACK

I cried bitterly cause I really missed my mom and all the moments and memories we both created in this mansion . Things would have been fine , if my dad didn't bring my step mom and Amelia to this house .

That is why I have to stay strong for my mother and get back every single thing that belongs to her and pay back all the people that wronged us , especially my father and his dear wife and precious daughter Amelia .

I got a call from my boyfriend , asking if I was fyn and if I arrived home safely . I said yes because , I was surprise by the sudden care he is showing .

On a normal he claims to always be busy whenever I call , but he's sudden call this morning and yesterday is making me see another phase of him .

I took a fresh shower and I work downstairs for breakfast , then i overhead my step mom speaking to someone on the phone , but I care less about her affairs

As I was about to sit and have my peaceful breakfast as I thought , my step mom called me . Immediately I felt like punching her .

Hey Stella good morning, good morning to u too I replied .

Hope u slept well , I was shock for some seconds then I regained myself and knew immediately that she was up to something .

Yea I did sleep well , how may I help you , Oh dear Stella u don't have to be rude , I just want to tell you that you will be joining me for the mall today .

I retorted her , and whose consent did u seek , your father Stella and my husband . Then and there I heard to join your mom to the mall today .

i immediately knew something bad was about to happen, because my instincts never lie.

Stella , you would have to follow us , because I miss going out with my big sister .

you see Stella this would be a great idea , so you have no choice but to accept .

I turned towards amelia and she smirked , I sighed from exhaustion , and with a great speed I finished the food cause I was loosing appetite and the food was getting cold.after that I hurried to my room for a quick nap, cause am still stressed from yesterday's work.

Knock , knock , I heard a knock on my door but I was really not in the mood to wake up. I kept quiet thinking the person might leave but to my greatest dismay I heard Amelia's voice .

Stella it's time for us to go to the mall. Oh God I will be down in five minutes . I said to her .

Ten minutes later I wore my cloth and I met them downstairs at the living room .

Oh Stella you look really great in that dress , I smirked thank you mom . We will be leaving now . And I nod

We drove for like 20 minutes , we arrived at city mall , one of the biggest mall in A city .

Now let's go shopping Stella , my step mom said and I nod . Because I'm really surprised about her sudden attention towards me . Thinly of that I couldn't shake the negative feeling am having .

Amelia and mother POV

Mom are u sure it will work ? Yes baby I just called Mr brown his on his way here . I just pray it works , because I can't wait for Stella to be out of my way to get Carlton and he will be mine alone .

Same here Amelia we will collect everything that belongs to her . Let's get going before she finds us .

Back to Stella

I was wandering around the mall and picking wat I felt was necessary for me to get , then I felt pressed , looking for a way to relieve my self . Finally as if luck was on my side I saw my step mom and Amelia coming I rushed towards them .

Mom please do u know we're the rest room is am really pressed ?

Yea my step mom answered . Just go upstairs by your right , you will see a door that's the rest room. Thank you so much and I left .

Mom that description is Mr brown room not the rest room , yea I just want everything to happen very fast or don't you want Carlton any longer . Thank you mom your the best .

I walked into the room , it was nothing like a rest room , but I didn't care because at this moment all I want was to relieve myself .

When I was done, unknown to me they was a man in the room . As I was about to leave I heard a voice .

Stop there young lady , you're mine to play with today . .

I turned towards the voice and I saw a very old man with baggy tommy and immediately recognized him . Mr brown . Immediately remembered my step mom talking to someone this morning .

Flashback

Mr brown she will be ready this evening , don't go back on your promise.

End of flashback

This was when I knew I was trapped

I was trapped alone in a room with a disgusting man . My heartbeat increased . Oh God I am doomed .

Young lady like I said before you are mine alone For tonight . Please I beg you just let me go please. I pleaded with him but my pleading fell on deaf ears .

He started walking towards me and I tried to move back while pleading . Beauty please don't stress me , this something we will both enjoy , so don't run or you will face the consequence. I felt disgusted by his words .

He entered into the bathroom , and I knew this was my only chance to escape . Tried twisting the door knob but it wasn't opening , tears rolled down my eyes cause I didn't want Mr brown to meet here , only God knows what he will do to me .

Then I heard the bathroom door open and I knew there and then that I was doomed . I saw him coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist exposing his big tummy . I wanted to puke cause he was really too old for me .

Stella please come let's make this really quick and enjoy ourselves . I'm not coming . Don't make me repeat myself Stella come to me or face the consequence of disobeying me .

I started shivering praying to God to send help to me . Little did I know that he was already close to me . I felt a hand on my waist that dragged me .

I landed on the bed . Please I beg u don touch you please , how much did they pay you I will triple the amount please let me go , I beg of you please.

You think too highly of yourself Stella , but it's not bad to learn the truth before I take you to cloud nine .

Your step mom gave you to me in exchange of a jade pendant worth five hundred million dollars . So now you know the truth can you afford me . 😂😂😂😂🤣 in your wildest imagination Stella I must have you tonight.

Hearing this I felt wronged , but I knew it's either I allow him do away with me or escape .

Stella he jumped on me trying touch my Breast , I pushed him away and he fell hard on the floor .

I tried to run but he caught my leg and I felt too.

He grabbed my cloth and tore them into prices .

Please I beg you let me go please , no you are mine tonight Stella .

Okay fine I will look for a way to return the pendant to you please just let me go .

I won't not at this point Stella . I tried threatening him with his wife , to see if it will work .

I will report you to your wife, and tell her all your evil deeds . It was as if I added fuel to the fire .

Then he came at me like an angry lion.

How dare you threaten me with my wife , am sorry please please . I fell on the bed again then he climbed on top of me .

It was as if the heavens had decided to answer my prayers I turned towards the right side of the bed , I saw a bottle on top of it was the key .

I felt relieved . When he was not looking I intertwine the key to my fingers and use the bottle to hit him hard . He screamed , I ran towards the door I opened it and with a gray speed I ran out of the mall , all eyes were on me .

When I got to the road I felt relieved, but it didn't last long because I didn't know what to do or were to go to , because I didn't want to return to that house .

I remembered Annie's house was close so I walked there , fully aware of the eyes watching me .

When I arrived her apartment I knocked she opened immediately.

Baby what are u doing here in this state, Ann please can I come in , yea sure , I entered well aware of her scrutinized eyes on me . Ann please I will explain later .

Please show me the bathroom so I can take my bath . I took my bath and I cried all night , Ann was they to console me , without knowing what happened . This is one thing I love about her.

At the other side.

Mom Stella is not yet back it's already past midnight . Maybe they had it continuously .

What if dad ask of her , you worry too much Amelia , I will handle him. Mom your phone is ringing , get it for me real quick , who is on the on the line , it's muster brown , give it to me .

Mr brown , how did it go , why didn't you tell me your step daughter is a tigress ? I don't understand your question Mr brown . A tigress on bed or what? As I speak to you right now am in the hospital , am really sorry for what she did to you , but I promise to get her to apologize to you . Suit yourself madam . The call ended.

Mom how did it go ? Stella beat up Mr brown so our plan was not successful this time, but I promise to make Carlton yours . Mom I hope you keep to your promise, cause I want Carlton for myself and you have to be fast because time is not on our side. Are u threatening your mother Amelia ? No am just telling you .
