Cassandra’s Pov:
Tears welled down my chubby cheeks as I sat in the tricycle with the God damn man that calls himself my father.
I can’t believe I entered this nonsense cab.
Cassandra of all people….
A born queen like me!
Does this mean I have no car anymore?
Am now so poor…..
I mopped my face with my handkerchief….
I stared at the man with so much hatred and disdain.
“Don’t worry Cassie! You’ll be fine!!” He said as he tried touching my hand.
I quickly pushed him forcefully.
“Don’t you dare touch me with your f1lthy disgusting hands! I can never be fine with your wretched family” I said as I sighed loudly.
I can’t stand this good for nothing man.
I quickly picked up my cell phone and plugged my ear pod into my ears.
This is the worst day of my life.
I breathed heavily.
Gracie’s Pov:
I walked into the mansion with my luggage.
“Mother please I don’t want to stay here” I said in fear.
“”Shut your mouth! Go ahead to your parents” Mother said with no slightest sympathy.
Actually her whole body was bruised.
She was thoroughly beaten up in the prison before she was bailed out.
I entered the big sitting room.
The maids and Mr and Mrs Charlotte Salvador were waiting for me.
I looked around the sitting room……
The uncountable pictures of Cassandra were hung on the wall.
“Gracie dear! You’re welcome home!” Mr Sam Salvador said as he hugged me.
Mrs Charlotte was in tears.
They hugged me tightly.
“I’ll show you to your room honey” Mrs Charlotte said
“Thank you ma’am” I said calmly as I watched mother walk away.
I already miss her….
Though she doesn’t want to admit it, I know she misses me too.
“It’s mommy!” Mrs Charlotte corrected me.
I forced a smile.
“Am sorry…. It’s going to be a little difficult for me but I’ll try” I said as she kssed my forehead.
I climbed the stairs with her.
Is this a dream?
I wondered as we walked into the well furnished room.
My jaw dropped in awe.
I walked in caculable steps into the room.
“Is this for me?” I asked
“Yes baby! This is going to be your new room” Mrs Charlotte said smiling.
A big banner decorated and written GRACIE was hanged on the wall.
“Thank you so much ma’am… I mean mom!” I said as she smiled.
“Am happy we found you child…. And am willing to make up for the time we were apart from each other! This is gonna be tough but I promise to try my best dear Gracie” Mrs Charlotte said with tears in the tone of her voice.
“Thank you… For the first time in my life, I feel loved” I said as we hugged each other.
Mr Sam entered and joined the group hug.
Cassandra’s Pov:
The stupid old looking cab halted in front of the hell hole called a house.
I glanced around in disgust.
Am I really going to live in this hole?
I can’t breathe….. I got down from the cab with my face squeezed.
The so called siblings rushed out to meet me.
“Hey! Don’t! Don’t touch me….” I screamed as they stood at a place.
I watched Mr Fred drag my luggage inside.
Duh!
I can never touch them….
I just had my nails done!
Expensive one at that… I can’t afford to ruin in them.
“You’re welcome to our house and home” one of them said excitedly.
G©sh…..!!
They were so excited as they perceived my expensive perfume.
Tch… I clicked my tongue loudly.
“Really? Is this a home?” I blurted out still staring disgustedly at everywhere.
“Cassandra this is your home and our home toi” Mr Fred said
“Duh! Gross….. I am not a rabbit so this can never be my home… NEVER” I groaned
“So are you calling us rabbits?” Monica asked
I rolled my eyes mischievously.
“This… Is a hole not a house and you guys live here so what lives in a hole if not rabbits?” I said rudely.
The girls became angry but I don’t care.
Just then, their mother walked in with her messed up face.
“My daughter…!!” She called and tried to hug me.
I quickly pushed her roughly and she landed her butt on the ground.
They gasped in shock.
“Eww! Before you touch me try to sanitize those stinky sticks you call hands…. You disgust me!” I exclaimed
Monica raised her hand to slap me but the old lady who called herself my mom stopped her.
“Monica please don’t” She said.
“Cassandra am your mother!” She said as I scoffed.
“In your next three lives, you can never be anything close to my mother, the only thing you can be is a God forsaken maid to me” I said as they stared at me stunned.
G©sh!
They really don’t know how much I despise this place!
**
I walked into the poor furnished room.
The dressing mirror was half broken.
And the ceiling fan looked so old.
I looked around in disgust.
“This is your new room” Mr Fred said.
“You are really a worthless man Mr Fred! So this is all you can afford as a room…. That means I can no longer have a sleepover party with my friends cos they can’t stand this mess you called a room” I said
He stared at me in anger.
But he kept mute.
You know what Mr Fred! You failed as a man!” I said
He flared up in annoyance.
And landed a dirty $lap on my cheeks.
I held my cheeks in shock as tears flooded down my face……
