THE TRUE DAUGHTER

Jennifer's P.O.V.

Up Till today,the surrounding mansions at St.Reuben's street,still stand as an epitome of great mystery to me. I used to see it as one of my late fathers properties but since my uncle took over my father's wealth,I became lost in the realm of confusion.

It was all like a flash of light to me,as I watched everything that my father had worked for all his life,varnished into the thin air like a mist.

I never believed that my late parents would do me such a grave harm of not including me as an heir to their wealth. It was highly delusional and in fact,it still looked like a dream to me,looking at how I was sidelined by my uncle and his family,who finally took over what was rightfully mine.

As I was engrossed with many thoughts of all that has happened to me during this short period,I heard a voice calling at me.

"Jennifer" It was my uncle's wife,aunt Cynthia whom I hated with passion.

The both of us don't cross the same path at all,since I was always getting scapegoated.

"Jennifer. I thought I told you to wash these clothes?. Why am I still seeing stains around it?. Is this how your late mother taught you how to wash clothes?"She asked,as she tried mocking my late mother.

"Aunty, I washed them. They are all cleaned and.......

"Shut up your stinky mouth"She interrupted,as she dashed me a handful of arrogant slap on my cheek.

Bubbles of stars littered around my face. I became angry at her, and wished that I could retaliate back immediately.

"Do you think I am as blind as you?. Can't you see the dirt around these clothes?.What's really wrong with you?"She yelled.

I wanted to speak,but she immediately raised her hand,signifying that I shouldn't talk at all.

"You daughter of a lousy creature. Look around here, and tell me if there is anyone like you. Absolute,no one. You are not even happy and grateful that we accommodate you here in our mansion?. Upon all we have been doing for you even after the death of your late worthless parents. The little things you can do to assist us in this home,aren't doing them at all. You just want to live the life of luxury. How do you think it would be possible?"Cynthia yelled arrogantly.

To me,she was even speaking out of the blue. She was just looking for an offense from me,to hold on to,so that she would finally accuse me of doing what I have no knowledge of.
