Entangled Withh The Mafia Brothers
Chapter 1
(She's not dumb)
She sat around the dinning table with a baby bowl of cereal and a glass cup of milk along with a jug of water. She kept laughing at their jokes, at least they aren't making her day bored perhaps unhappy. She fed them according with a bright smile on her face.
"Get me the napkin Anaya" she said, trying to wipe Ariel lips which was full with cereal. Anaya stood up and brought the napkin from the end of dinning table and hand it over to her.
"My teacher is celebrating her birthday today" Ariel said Daphne fake a gasp just trying to show some funny faces.
"Today is your teacher's birthday" Daphne gasped and smiled "so what are you going to give your teacher" she asked.
"I'm giving her a painting, I drew her in my drawing book. She looks pretty" Ariel smiled and gulped down a cup of water.
"Is she pretty than your mom" Daphne asked, despite knowing how ugly her reply would be.
"Pretty my foot, She's prettier than my mom. Mom's always horrible with her make-up's " Ariel scoffed rolling her eyes. Anaya burst into a round of laughter Daphne wasn't left out.
"Table Manners" Daphne said reminding, them and they nodded moving back their gaze to their food.
She fed them slowly and accordingly. Checking out their dresses in case of any mistake but she found none.
"Go and get your school bags" she said and left to carry their lunch boxes that was on the kitchen cabinets.
They rushed back to the living room with their bags. Daphne went to the TV and switch it off. Her smile fade away when she saw her coming down the stairs. No one else apart from the building devil.
"You must not go and pick them late" Laura said. Daphne moved closer to her sisters and took their hands.
"As if I do pick them late. " She replied with a frown.
"Watch your rotten lips" Laura yelled.
"Enough!. Wait hold, who do you think you are to walk out on me ?" Laura rasped and Daphne scoffed.
"Who are you precisely ?" Daphne summon courage.
*It's high time you show her you aren't the old fragile girl anymore* her inner mind uttered.
"Are you really talking back to me" Laura asked with a widened expression on her face.
"Enough of your bullshit, I think it's high time I set up a new principles because of inhuman like you. I can't withstand your maltreatment towards me. It's better you stay within your boundary and don't cross it" Daphne uttered with a gritted teeth.
"Come on let's go Anaya, we can't be late" Daphne said with a soft smile that curve up her lips and took her sisters hand.
"Did she talk back at me. Like is this real" Laura shuttered, staring at the exit she took.

Daphne cross the road along with some other kids who are with their parents perhaps guardian's. They stopped walking when they got to the gate. Daphne crouched down to their level and smiled as she pull their cheeks softly.
"We are here now" Daphne said and smiled.
"Won't you give us a safety peck on the cheek and missing kiss on our foreheads. " Ariel asked.
"Always the talkative type" Daphne thought and pulled her cheek slowly and planted a peck on it.
"Do for Anaya too" Ariel said which made her to chuckled. Anaya brought her face forward...
"So won't you give sis a kiss" Daphne asked. Anaya and Ariel chuckled and ran far away from her. Now they are inside their school compound.
"We are not going to kiss you" Ariel screamed and Anaya smiled with a wave. She bid Daphne good bye.
"I love you two " Daphne screamed and bid them good bye. They turned around and walked deeper into the school compound. Daphne make sure she watched them until see couldn't see their back view.
She stood at the bus stop waiting for a Subway bus to pass by when her phone rang out. She smiled immediately but it didn't last long, it was replaced with a scoffed followed with a long eye roll.
"Hello" the voice said from the background.
