The loud sound of her tears will tell you how much agony Elena is pas-sing throu-gh as Thomas continued lashing out at her mercilessly for complete five minutes
He was breathing heavily when he st©pped, there’s blood on Elena’s pink go-wn right now, new bruises, new scars, new sp©ts, new marks
“To hell with you!” Thomas yelled and went into his room with the money, shutting his door violently behind
Arabella rushed to Elena who’s still crying profusely, tears escaped her eyes to as she looked at her pitiful daughter
She helped her up and took her into her room, she sat her down on the be-d and she took off the go-wn, her whole b©dy is swollen with the cable marks allover and Arabella’s hidden tears fell
“Mummy ..
” We nee-d to get you to the hospital” she interrupted
” I won’t go to the hospital, the money you’ll use to treat my skin, let’s just keep it, I’ll be ok” Elena replied
” No Elena, your skin is getting worse everyday with all these, plea-se…
” I won’t go to an hospital” Elena insisted
Arabella wiped her tears and went to a drawer, she brou-ght out a small bottle containing cleansing oil
“I’ll apply this at least” she said
“Thomas is my dad right?” Elena suddenly asked
” Sure dear” Arabella replied slowly
“Then why is he always saying I’m illegitimate?, Why is he always doing this to me?” Elena’s asked hurtfully
” I have no idea either” Bella replied
“You’re bleeding from the nose too”Elena said and Bella t©uçhed her nose, there’s really blood coming out of it as a result of how Thomas made her hit her head earlier
“When is all these going to st©p?” Elena cried, Bella hvgged her dearly
“I’m sorry you have to go throu-gh all these Barbie, I’m sorry”
***
As a result of the pains from the wounds, Elena sle-pt late and woke up late, Thomas is gone by that time
That’s his daily routine, he leaves early in the morning to God knows where, only to come back late at night
“Mum you should have woken me up” Elena said, coming out of her room while tying her hair with a band, she had a fast bath alre-ady though she can ba-rely call it a bath cos her hand couldn’t even make contact with her b©dy, it hurts
“I figured it out that you nee-d to rest well , you sle-pt late last night” Bella replied from the kitchen
” Even at that, you know how strict my boss can be, bye!” She replied hurriedly after quic-kly putting on her only shoes, she left the house
“Wait!, You should eat!” Bella shouted after her but she’s far gone
” I hope I’ll be able to forgive myself….but anytime I’m able to muster up the courage and tell you, don’t you dare forgive me, don’t ever forgive me Elena” Bella said quietly.
***
” Why are you late?” The fat strict boss questioned immediately Elena got to the restaurant
” I was, I .. I
” So because you got your pay yesterday, you decided to slack off” the woman sm-irked
” No ma’am, actually..
“No nee-d for useless explanations, I’ve pasted a vacancy and three girls applied alre-ady, I’ll pick the most eligible one so you nee-d to excuse me” the woman said bluntly
” Ma’am you can’t do that, this is my first time of coming late to work, I’ve been working diligently all this while and…
“Throw her out” the woman interrupted and two male waiters gr@bbÂŁd her arms
” Ouch!, My arm hurts!, Easy!” She winced painfully as they dragged her out, they pushed her out of the restaurant and she fell on her bu-tt r0Ă»ghly
“I’m fvÂąked up” she said slowly and kept sitting down there for almost two minutes,not minding the people plying the road , staring at her
âstare all you want, my life is messed up anywaysâ she thought and as if to confirm that her life is really messed up, water landed on her
It’s from the restaurant and judging by the smell, it was used to rinse meat, it stinks
She slowly stood and looked at herself thor0ûghly
“My only shoes” she said, staring at the we-t shoes
She looked at the restaurant one more time before walking away
“I’ll just look for another job” she thought..
***
” Alan you made him the CEO right?, Then he should be able to make decisions for the company, he told you he’s not re-ady to raise the stock price suddenly like that, why the fuss over it?” Tanya said during breakfast when Alan brou-ght it up again
” We’re gonna earn a lot of Euros if he follows my protocols, that’s how I run the company before he took over” Alan said
” So this is about money again Mr Euros?, Wait, was your br@in made of money?, Why can’t you think of anything else!” Tanya said, starting to get annoyed
” Yes, my br@in was made of money and my life revolves around money, if everyone follows my steps, this world will be the coolest place” Alan replied
” Sure” Tanya said sarcastically
“Talking while eating is usually the order in this house and it’s always same boring issue, dad’s love for money, I’m tired of it” Miley said, standing from her seat after dropping her fork
” you know nothing little daughter, so shut it” Alan replied
” Sure, I don’t even want to know nothing when it comes to your philosophy, so bye brother!” She blew Louis a k!ssand win-ked at Tanya before leaving for school
” Our company is currently the second best in Germany, Tanner group of companies is the first and I envy CEO Tanner, if I can get to p@rtner with his company, imagine the Euros we’ll make” Alan said
” Oh Euros, I’m getting headache” Tanya held her head and climbe-d the stairs immediately
Alan’s phone rang , it’s an unknown number
“Morning” the cool voice said immediately he picked
“Morning, and I’m speaking with?” Alan asked
“Mr Tanner, CEO of Tanner group of companies” the voice replied
“what a coincidence, I was just talking about you” Alan replied happily
Louis secretly sized him up with his eyes before leaving the house, not concerned about whatever they’ll talk about.
He got to his car and Daisy’s call popped on his phone despite the fact that they spoke for almost three hours this morning
He happily picked, “hey darling” he voiced
“Pie I miss you” she said, he can imagine her pouting
” I miss you more, I promise to come see you after work” he replied, smiling graciously
” Just tell your money loving dad not to kill you for me” she replied
” He can’t, trust me and I’ll get you something Se-xy while coming” he said
” I can’t wait!, And for the other Se-xy thing too” she said naughtily
” I know, we have all time so wait for me, I can’t wait to see you” he said
” Same here pie, bye!” She blew k!sses and he did same before hanging up
“Now let’s go work like Alan wants” he sighed and his driver started the drive

Golden br@ins high**
“So that’ll be all for today, turn in your as-signments for…Shane, he’ll bring it to my table” the literature teacher said before leaving the clas-s, it’s the last clas-s for today
“It’s been tiring” Warren yawned lightly
“Lazy as-s” Shane mumbled as everyone c@mÂŁ to his table to turn in their as-signments , the girls made efforts to get his attention as usual especially Miley
She opened her bu-tton in the front and showed off her b00bs but Shane is too busy staring into space
“That’s Se-xy , mind if I svçkon them?” Warren tea-sed
“fvÂąk off!” Miley snapped and left in disappointment as usual
Shane is like a living statue, no matter how much you try to sÂŁdûç£him, he won’t get caught
Shane carried his backpack
“I have no plans to come back to clas-s again, I’ll go give Miss Mia the books then I’ll go home from there” he said
” Sure, let’s move” Warren replied, taking some of the books while Shane took the rest, they walked out of the clas-s together
“What will you do?” Laurette asked Miley who’s sitting on her table
“I’ll go to Yummy Yummy restaurant” Miley smiled
“To do what?” Sydney questioned
” You girls are funny, he’s someone I’m head over heels for so I know virtually everything about him, Samantha his late girlfriend works as a waitress in the restaurant before her death, he goes there after school everyday just to sit and imagine her presÂŁnce, I’ll go there and try to get his attention too” Miley replied
***
” You’re going to the restaurant again?” Warren questioned when Shane turned the car towards the direction of yummy yummy restaurant
“Yes, I’ve never missed a day without going there and you know it, it always feels like she’s with me anytime I sit in that restaurant” Shane replied as he parked in the parking lot of the big restaurant
It’s quite big, the biggest in this p@rt of the city and the most popular
Warren knew it’s useless arguing so he just went in with him, while Shane just stared into space and smiled, he ordered something to eat, their food is always difficult to resist anyways
“Samantha” Shane said and continued smiling
***
“If you fvÂąk up, you’ll lose your job” the owner of yummy yummy restaurant warned after taking in Elena as one of the waitresses
“Sure ma’am, I can never fvÂąk up” she replied, smiling radiantly
Thanks to the clothes she took from a drying rope, she has changed into it, that’s why she’s not stinking like rotten meat, it looks like stealing but she plans to return it later
“Jesus forgive me” she said silently
“Good, your pay is thirty Euros monthly” the woman said, handing her an apron which she took and put on
“Five Euros higher than the former restaurant” she smiled and left the kitchen but…
Maybe because she feels like appreciating his handsomeness, a guy is sitting on one of the tables who’s an highschool student judging by his uniform, he’s utterly and most as-suredly gorgeous, the cutest guy she has ever la-id her eyes on, his dyed hair looks perfect on his head and though his face held a ha-rd frown, he’s still perfect
“His handsomeness won’t help my life in any way, so let’s focus” she thought and focused on serving..
***
Shane kept staring into space till Warren finished eating
“So you’re not re-ady to go yet, it’s almost an hour” Warren said
“Wait..” Shane replied, staring at a direction
Warren looked at the direction and saw what he’s staring at
“Samantha?” Shane voiced out as the girl pas-sed by their table, obviously one of the waiters cos she’s holding a tray of food, going to serve a table
Shane stood and gr@bb£d her shoulders, f0rç£fully turning her to himself and in the process, the tray of food with her fell and her shoulders hurt as he held it, due to the bruises
Their eyes met, he’s still in shock while she’s wondering who this psycho that’s trying to get her fired is
“Samantha” Shane said, still staring into her eyes but now he sees the difference.
Samantha has slightly blue eyes but this girl in front of him has brown eyes, they just fvÂąking look alike.
Elena looked at him in awe, concluding immediately that he’s not ok.
“Who’s Samantha?, Are you sick?” She demanded.
