Mafia's obsession with revenge

Amelia is a 24 year old beautiful young orphan who lost her father 2 years back leaving her to take care of her 16 year old younger brother Dino Castellino. She has completed her graduation in Designing 2 years back and is currently working in Corrible Corporations as an assistant to the chief designer Lucas. She is sharing an apartment with Sandra Norman who has formed a strong bond in the past couple of years.

The morning rays of sun fell on her bright face illuminating her beautiful features, her smooth glowing cheeks, her voluptuous glistening lips, her long lashes covering her closed eyes and beautiful curls of her brown hear which has spread all over the cushion on which her head lay. Amelia was bestowed with a beautiful innocent face and a delicate body with an hourglass figure having heavy busts and a very thin waist. She never worked on her figure or her face, it was genetically gifted to her by her mother.

Her mother came from a humble background and lived a simple life until she met her husband, Amelia's father Giovanni Castellino, who went head over heals the very first time he met her. He pursued her fiercely and forced her to say yes to his proposal. He was so mad in love with her that even after her death he refused to remarry as he believed no one should take her place and continued to take care of their children as a single father till he died.

Amelia was born in a mansion with a silver spoon had guards to protect the mansion, live in maids who would get the necessities and fulfil her demands in the blink of an eye and such lovely god gifted parents who protected her from all miseries. Despite coming from a rich background Amelia's mother always inculcated good values in her, so that she wasn't a haughty or arrogant during her growing years but rather carried a warm heart and had affection for all. These riches were all taken away from her 2 years back when her father became bankrupt and committed suicide.

The same day her father died, she was thrown out of the mansion along with her brother who landed on the streets on that ill fated day by the bank debt collectors who seized their property and assets rendering them homeless.

Having a degree wasn't enough for Amelia to earn a decent income; she was rejected for a year by all major companies and had to take the job of a waitress cum cleaner in a restaurant which her father owned previously. Amelia never complained, she still seemed happy and hopeful to get a better job someday. As if God had answered her prayers, after one year of serving as a waitress, she received a letter for interview in Corrible corporations which was a prestigious designing company although Amelia never remembered applying for it as she was rejected by companies which were lower in cadre to Corrible corporations.

Her joy of joining the prestigious company was short-lived as she was often bullied and criticised heavily by her colleagues and her boss who was the biggest tormentor currently, Amelia never understood why her peers never appreciated her hard work and dedication and her boss Lucas never missed a chance to throw insults and humiliate her for the smallest mistakes. Taking a leaf from his book her colleagues Stacy and Laura would also harass her and bombard her with their work too. Any complaint which Amelia made to her boss was often backfired leaving her with more work at the end. Amelia worker more than her colleagues in terms of quality and quantity but was often labelled as 'lazy', 'retard', and more by verbally abusive boss.

The apartment which was her 'home' was where she would find peace and a shoulder to cry. Discussing her problems and sorrows with Sandra who was her sole friend would lighten her crying heart a bit and help her deter the deter the thought of leaving the job. Sandra would convincingly make her understand that her current job gives her enough to support her brothers' academics and quitting it would make her go to her previous job of a waitress.

Amelia thanked God for giving her such a wonderful friend with whom she not only shared her apartment but also her worries and happiness. Amelia had many friends when she was rich, but they all dumped her when she got to the streets. It felt like they were friends with her money and not her. But that never made Amelia unhappy, she was glad that she found their true colours at the least. Now with a true friend like Sandra, Amelia only considered herself fortunate feeling God never leaves anyone alone.

Amelia always carried a positive attitude in life despite her strenuous professional life, financially difficult personal life and was happy that she was helping in her brothers' academics. She saw true love in her parents and hoped she would also find someone for herself like them. Little did she know that fate had different plans and her true love would be a vengeful beast she would soon meet.

The apartment with she shared with Sandra was small, had paint peeling from the walls with two tiny rooms that could only fit a bed and a cupboard and a living area which was transformed into a kitchen by the girls so as to get the maximum benefit out of the place. Amelia earned average but preferred to spend very little on her rent so that she could save a lot for her brother Dino's education fees who lived in a dormitory to complete his schooling.

Amelia woke up in the morning with a smile on her face, something that never ceased to happen, prayed silently in her mind with her eyes closed hoping for a good day and proceeded to her bathroom for her morning business.

After taking a shower, she draped her body with a towel and came out. She stood in front of the mirror and applied her moisturizer judiciously so that it doesn't empty quickly. After applying the gloss on her lips, she wore an old dress with a floral imprint. The colour of the dress had faded completely and the hem of it was torn at a place and it was unravelling too. Even in the tethered dress Amelia's skin glowed like a princess. Her beauty overshadowed her dress quality making heads turn to her direction wherever she went.

She came out of her room and sat near the kitchen table when she saw Sandra prepare something near the gas stove.

"Did the sun rise from the west". Sandra turned around holding a spatula in her hand. Sandra was never a morning person, Amelia always made breakfast for both of them and dinner too. So seeing Sandra wake up before her and cooking meals surprised Amelia.

"I thought of making breakfast for us for once at the least. You always make it for us so effortlessly and my big fat mouth eats your deliciously cooked meals without bothering to make it even once"

Sandra saw Amelia laughing at her words. It had been a year since they shared the apartment and Amelia cooked for them. Sandra was always late from work and never found the dinning table empty when she got home. Sometimes Sandra would come home early but would leave to catch up with her boyfriend Aaron who worked in some pub. 'Late to bed, late to rise was her motto'. Amelia would cook and keep the food covered on the dining table so that Sandra never had to order or go to bed on empty stomach. She always took care of Sandra like a family.

Amelia had never met Aaron, but was happy for Sandra that she got someone to love, someone to cling on and share her happiness. Amelia also never questioned Sandra why she never moved to her boyfriend's place if she went out to see him most of the nights.

"I am making vegetarian pancakes for you and boiled eggs for myself. We have juice and brewing some hot coffee making a perfect breakfast". Amelia was a vegetarian since childhood; never liked the thought of killing animals to satisfy your taste buds. Sandra pushed the plate containing pancakes towards Amelia.

"Umm...tastes good". Amelia was enjoying the pancakes wondering how Sandra can cook so efficiently; last she remembered Sandra cooking was a year back when they decided to move in together.

"At least the start of your day should be good, who knows what hardships your boss and colleagues would be planning for you today".

Amelia raised her eyebrows. "So you seem quite sure that my day would be screwed as always".

"With the rude arrogant ass of a boss you have got, its magical if your day turns good".

Amelia put the fork in her mouth enjoying the taste of the pancakes. She sipped the coffee that gave her the desired warmth to her body. "you are right. Magic alone can help keep my senses in place."

"You see your prince in shining armour will soon free you from the clutches of the old haggard wizard.". Amelia laughed aloud at the usage of the words.

"You are expecting some fair tale like adventure in my life. I just want a simple peaceful life."

Little did she know that her life was going to be far from peaceful in the nearby future.
