"Scarlett!. Why haven't I seen my meal yet?". The voice of Amelia was heard.
"O my God!. Why did it have to be today?". I asked myself while frowning hard.
I had just woken up from sleep, and luck wasn't on my side today because I woke up extremely late.
"Scarlett!". Amelia called out my name once more, which caused me to jolt up from the bed.
I use my fingers to comb my messy hair, before running out of my dungeon….. which my parents know as the basement.
To me….. there's no difference between a dungeon and the basement where I do sleep in.
Currently. I'm twenty-four years old, and very soon I'll be celebrating my birthday at twenty-five.
The day I was born, is still the same day that my two younger ones were born.
We all share the same birth month, which is amazing….. but I kinda hate my birthday month because I stopped celebrating my birthday for a long time now.
When my Mama gave birth to my two younger ones….. she automatically forbids me from celebrating my birthday.
At that time when she was still pregnant….. I was six years old.
The day she gave birth automatically made me seven years old.
I stopped going to school from that day because my Mama insisted that I stay at home to take care of my younger ones.
I at first thought it was a nice thing…… my younger ones grew up and started going to school….. while I remain in the house doing house chores upon house chores.
Even though my Mama now made me be the one responsible for the house I guess…… It still didn't stop me study in secret.
I usually steal my younger one's books and read them all through the night, so that at day time….. I'll be able to return their book.
Of course, I didn't allow my Mama to catch me….. but there was a certain time when she had caught me, and she dealt with me.
My baby brother Addison is very kind to me, unlike Ashley who's more like a monster.
He knew that I love reading, so sometimes he would sneak inside my basement and lend me some of his notes which he won't be using the other day so that I can read while he's away for school.
The both of us are inseparable.
Ashley has never visited the basement I live in, and the only time the both of us do flow together is when she sustains a heartbreak.
At that very point in time….. I was the one to console her, but immediately she recovered…… She resumed her work of being a disrespectful little sister.
I have always wished to give her a nice spanking because the little thing just doesn't have what others call manners.
She order me around like her slave, and she usually lays insulted me if I didn't do something right.
The only thing I could do was to wish for the day that I could lay my hands on her because the one time I got fed up and spank her like a kid….. My Mama and Papa threaten to kick me out of the house. My life just seems like it has already been planned out for me. Most times I do feel that I was born for just one reason…..which is to serve my parents until the very day I die.
"Where is this useless child?". I heard the voice of my Mama, which brought me back to reality.
I'm aware that if I try to make coffee for her in a hurry…… then I should expect her to spit the coffee on my dress.
I quickly made my way towards the sitting room, and then I saw her sitting down in the dining room chair.
Her brown hair was allowed to fall on her shoulder, and something seems to change in the way she used to stare at me.
Normally….. my Mama does stare at me with a look of disgust….. but right now she's staring at me with admiration.
'Is it happening?'. I asked while smiling at myself because my parents are currently smiling.
I have always imagined a day that my Mama is going to smile at me with those beautiful eyes…..but that day…… Well, I guess it is today.
"Scarlett my dear!". My Mama called out, before making her way towards me.
'Did she just call me Dear?'. I asked myself, but couldn't bring myself to answer my question.
I was still thinking about the possibility that she's now finally loving me, but then her statement brought me back to my senses.
"We have a visitor waiting for you dear". She said, and that was when my hard reality suddenly stroke me like a bomb.
"Mama!. I don't have any friends, so who could be looking for me?". I asked her while arching my brows.
The last time I remember…… I'm still aware that I have no friends, so the possibility of someone looking for me is 'Zero'.
"Hahaha!". My Mama laughed, and I knew that her laugh wasn't genuine….. and likewise her smile which is already revealing its fake nature. "Kids these days are always shy". My Mama added, which confuses me.
My mind has begun to jump to the conclusion of where this speech is heading….. but I just decide to ignore my inner thoughts.
"Scarlett!". I heard the voice of a man calling out my name, and I knew for sure that the voice was coming directly from the dining room.
"Your friend is calling you dear!". My Mama said while trying to make her voice sound sweet.
I made my way towards the dining room, and then I saw a mature man with white bears and gray hair in his head.
The man smiled and stared at me, and that was when I took notice of his brown dirty teeth.
He wore a black big shirt that had died from its original color, and he was also putting on an earring, which seems so disgusting.
"Scarlett!. Meet your future husband!". My Mama said.
