"You idiot, fool, why haven't you finish washing the clothes huh? Not that it was much anyway," Bianca glared at Lily maliciously as she pulled her short hair. Lily tried to break free from Bianca's grasp as she bit her lower lip trying to suppress the screams that were about to come out from her mouth. Finally, Bianca released her carelessly as she lost balance and fell on the ground scraping her face in the process. She yelped in pain as her left hand flew to her cheek. Her trembling hand grazed the injury as the blood flowed out and the injury was already trying to clot.
"So you think you're still in your father's heart huh?," Bianca laughed hysterically, "well, you're completely wrong baby b*tch because he had no place for you in his present state of mind. He has only me...., me..!," Bianca sounded as she was also trying to convince herself about that unproven fact. She flew into rage again and slapped Lily the exact place her injury was as she enjoyed the 16year old girl screams. The injury began bleeding again and Lily held her cheek in pain as tears flowed out painfully.
"Filthy," Bianca muttered to herself getting a napkin from the clean clothes that has just been washed. After cleaning her hands with it, she threw the bloodstained napkin on Lily's face and strutted away into the house. Lily looked grim as her heart was heavy. After her mother's death, her father had lost his happiness, his soul, his life. Although he still loved them, he was never able to recover the ability to become a great father to she and her three siblings anymore. He had lost himself in drinking to drown his sorrows even though he knew it was morally wrong and immodest and also wouldn't help him.
This led to the loss of his job as he was unable to be useful anymore. Bianca had her three other children, Richard, Lola and Nola who were twins which were 19 and 16 years of age respectively out of wedlock for a man she was forced to marry. She had always loved her father, Barbados and they were in a relationship until she was forced to get married to another man by her parents. Her father was lucky to find another love and got married to her mother but Bianca became hurt, angry and vowed to take him back. Bianca's ex husband was a cheat and she wasn't happy about it at all. One day, one of his mistresses found out he was married so she lured him and stabbed him when they were in bed making sure he was dead. Bianca became very happy as she felt she had become a free woman and unfortunately, that was the period Lily's mother died too so she was able to trap her father. Her father was weak and needed consolation so he just used her. He didn't really love her or anything because his heart has become empty and void of emotions ever since the day Lily's mother died. But Bianca didn't mind as she still took care of him.
Lily did all the work in the house despite the fact there are other grown ups in the house. Her siblings suffered too but she helps them secretly. She earned her money through novel writing though no soul in the house knew that and she planned to keep it that way and there's this particular reader who's been there since day one.....
