Chapter 1 Nightmare
Chapter one
Alicia's pov
"Please don't hurt me am sorry i didn't send Marcus the package your wife said I should wash some clothes for her am sorry."Little Alicia cried
"You are nothing but a curse you killed your parents and nobody wants you."Mr Nicholas her foster dad said
"Please....I will never do it again."Alicia begged even when she knows her begging won't change anything
"Am going to beat you then you are going to do my biddings."He said laughing
"No please not that again......"I cried hard nobody to save me
"You are weak and can't do anything about it you better get dressed and meet Marcus in his room and you better strip well so that he can't give us some money if not you no the consequences." He said leaving the room
"Noooo...!!!."I shouted waking up
It was a nightmare , i have been having nightmares since i was twelve when my parents died .
I now live with my uncle as a maid in my own family's house his daughter treats me worse than her father.
"Hey wake up you you need to follow me somewhere."Camille my cousin bangs on my door making me stop thinking
I live in a small room at the back of the building , it's the servants room but my uncle fired them so that i would do all the work alone.
I didn't even bother to answer her i know she must have left immediately she delivered her message .
I quickly stand up from the bed and run to the bathroom I don't want any problems with Camille this morning.
I saw her kissing the driver and i clear my throat to notify them of my presence.
She just glare at me and hissed entering the car without saying a word.
"On no circumstance must anybody find out that we are related if not am going to kill you."She said putting her air pods in her ears
She always say this whenever go out together .
After fifteen minutes we arrived at a big mall, she likes shopping for expensive things she is just like her father its a shame her mother died during childbirth.
"Stop mopping around let's go."Camille says eyeing Alicia
"Am sorry ma'am."I said she said i should never call her by her name and I should refer to her as ma'am.
"Better i like it when you are obedient not trying to fight a lost battle."She smirks walking inside one of the stores
She was making a call with her best friend Aubrey I tried not to eavesdrop .
"Aubrey , am going to make sure he screams my name."Camille says giggling
I couldn't hear what the other person said but judging from her reactions am sure the person wasn't in support.
"You are just boring I regret calling you , am going to talk to someone better bye."She said hanging up
"Is everything okay."I asked
"No nothing is okay my best friend just ditched me and also you should mind your fucking business ."Camille said shouting at me
"Am sorry."I said bowing my head
"You better be."She said walking off
Can this day just end already, i hate my life am really a curse just like Nicholas said.
After shopping with Camille i went home alone with all the bags and she went somewhere with the driver .
When I reached her room i was tempted to sleep on the bed but i have many chores to do.
"My room needs to be in a new shape by the time am home and my clothes are dirty wash them then my red purse is missing find it before i get back home."Camile told me before driving off with her driver
I just wish to be free from this people but where am I going to go, the two last places i was didn't end well and am sure staying here is my best option for now.
I was so tired after doing the chores and my uncle asked me to make him chicken salad.
I was making the meal when someone entered the kitchen .
"I asked you to make me spaghetti and meatballs not chicken salad ."Uncle charlie shouted at me hitting me with a plate
The plate landed on my back making me shout in pain, this isn't the first time he is acting this way am sure he is drunk.
"You have gone mute, you always have something to say why don't you talk back at me."He added slapping me
"Uncle why do you have to be this mean to me am your fucking niece your brothers child you can't keep treating me like this."I yelled at him
"You are not my brothers child am sure your mother did it to trap my brother , and you are no important to me just my daughters maid."He shouted at me and throwing punches at me
After beating me to his heart content he left me in the kitchen i managed to drag myself out of the mansion to my room.
Why do my life have to be like this , why would my parents die and leave me in this wicked world .
I remember when my parents were alive i always prayed to have a baby brother or sister, my friends always tell me that if I had a sibling my parents won't love me again but I didn't care.
On my tenth year birthday my dad gave me a gold bracelet that is the only valuable possession I own.
Thinking back makes me hate life my parents death is still a mystery my parents lawyer stopped looking into the case after i moved in with my uncle.
"Mom, dad if you guys can hear or see me i don't know what else to do."Alicia said holding back the tears
I don't want to be the weak and submissive Alicia Camille and uncle charlie knows but i can't am week just like Nicholas said .
