ANNA'S POV
"Why are you so cold hearted?" Anita asked.
"Because they turned me into what I am today" I fired.
" They? Who are they?" She inquired, perplexed.
I closed my eyes as I remembered that fateful day.
******
It was a Monday morning!
I woke up feeling different and happy.
I'm plus one today!
"Today is my birthday! Today is my birthday!!" I jumped on my bed in excitement.
The thought of getting my sport car which I had always wanted, added to my happiness.
On my birthdays,dad always grant one of my wishes and I am definitely gonna request for a pink sports car today.
I jumped down from the bed and got out of my night gown.
I had my shower, wore my underwears and slipped into one of my designer black short gowns..I wore a light make up and tied my hair in a ponytail.
When I looked into the mirror, I was satisfied with what I saw..
I slipped into my pink heels before heading downstairs..
Dad was on his special couch reading his news paper while mum was receiving a leg massage from one of the helpers..
"Good morning mum and dad" I greeted,giving each of them a peck.
"Good morning baby and how's my princess doing?" Dad asked.
"I'm cool dad" I replied, giggling.
Why haven't they wished me a happy birthday?
"Why are you all dressed up?" Mum asked..
"I'm going out with my friends"
"Aww..Go catch some fun but get back home early" Mum said with a pat on my back.
"Okay..but..." I stuttered..
"What's wrong?" Mum asked..
"Aren't you guys forgetting something?" I blinked my eyes.
"Something like what?" Dad arched his brows.
"About someone's special day" I winked.
"Someone's special day?" Mum repeated. "Who?"
Seriously? How could they forget the birthday of their only daughter?
"Forget it!" I snapped and turned back to leave.
"Aren't you eating? Breakfast is served" mum called out.
" I'm not hungry" I scowled, heading to the door..
"Goodbye baby! Take care of yourself"
"Whatever"
I Grumpily walked outside but ran into my elder brother, Williams..
He had just got back from his morning jog.
"And where's my annoying little sister heading to?" He asked.
"That's none of your business" I fired.
"Oh! Sorry miss" he shrugged,heading inside..
"Wait a minute"
"What's it?" He replied a bit curtly as he turned to face me.
"You remember that today is a special day for me, right?" I asked, pouting my lip.
"A special day for you? Are you getting married today" he asked with his eyes almost bugging from their sockets.
"Huh? Marriage?" I repeated in disbelief. "You've lost your mind"
I walked to my car, pissed off.

I got home tired..
Today's party was fun.My friends had surprised me with a lot of birthday gifts,unlike my family who had forgotten about my birthday.
I packed my car in the garage and walked to the door but it was locked..
I input the password and the door cracked open..
I stepped into the house and locked the door-but to my amazement, the house was dark.
I am sure they're all busy sleeping.
"Looks like nobody cares about me again"l muttered.
I was about climbing the stairs to my room, when the lights suddenly turned on .
