Unrevealed Truth

Chapter - 1

Anya's P.O.V.

I was doing my last of assignment when I heard my father shouting outside. I came out of my room and went down stairs where he was fuming with anger.

"What happened, Dad", I asked him in a flat tone. It's not the first time he shouted on me. I am used to of his behavior since I came to my senses. 

"What Happened???" he snarled. "You wanted to know what happened" with these words he slapped me with full force. Surely there were bruises on my cheeks again. My head  spun due to impact of slap.

I held the sofa to maintain my balance when I felt a strong kick in my stomach and fell flat on the floor with an unbearable pain. I curled in the ball. Tears in my eyes were blurring my vision now. I saw my father storming towards me and he pulled my hairs sharply to cause  more pain. 

"How dare you to change the quotation we are going to send for this important deal with Jacksons ", He slapped me with full force again.

"Dad, what we have quoted earlier is lesser than total estimated cost of the project. It will be a complete loss if we get that project on the very cost", I tried to explain my action but again received a slap. 

"Now you will teach me how to do business, you b**ch", he shouted again. He bumped my head to the floor hard and then kicked me again.

I wanted to cry badly but couldn't. It would fuel his anger. Again he kicked me 2-3 times more then left me all by myself on the floor. The pain was unbearable. My head was throbbing hard and had a tremendous pain in my stomach. I remained in my position. It's my daily routine.

I am Anya Robert.  Only daughter of the CEO of the Robert's Corps Mr. Andrew Roberts who is unfortunately my father. My mother left me with my father when I was  2 years old and then she never showed herself again. My Nanny, Ms. Julia, told me that she was in love with some one else and left us for her love. I always wanted to ask her just one question. Why did she give me birth if she did not want me. My father wanted a son as his heir who can take care of him and his business. But now he has me, as a  daughter. What's my fault here??  He took his revenge on me born as a daughter and for the  betrayal from his wife from me.

As soon as I came to my senses, I have seen him shouting, kicking, beating me. Some times I even didn't know the reason behind it all. I have so many bruises on my back, on my stomach and all over the lower body. Some time he used his belt as a tool. He even used a knife once.

My whole life is reviving in front of my eyes.I was just waiting the  pain to subsidize when I sensed a hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and with my blurring vision, I sensed Julia besides me. She gave me a hand and tried to balance me on her shoulder. She helped me to get in my room and helped me lay down me on the  bed. She softly carassed my hairs and tucked some strands behind my ears. I broke down and cried hard really bad that too on her lap.

"Why me Julia", I asked her in between as I sobbed.

"Everything will be alright with time honey. Have some patience. I know you are strong. You can bear it", she consoled me while carrassing my hairs.

She helped me in getting on my feet and left me in my bedroom. She gave me a pain killer and water. I popped the pill into my mouth and drank the whole glass as my throat was hurting after so much cry. "Get some sleep honey", She told me and smiled weakly.

I nodded my head in agreement and tried to get some sleep.

I want to sleep till death so that I can get rid of all my miseries. I don't know how long will I survive this. 

No one in this whole world wants me, not even my parents. Why am I still alive? I must have died before birth.

Tears dropped from corner of my closed eyes as these thoughts clouded my mind.

What I have done wrong? 

Our company was filling an important quotation for an important project. I am head of the department. What my father suggested the quote and what my study suggested the quote has a huge difference. If we fill the amount proposed by my father, we will surely loose that contract. So, for the sake of company benefit, I change the quotation and submitted the revised one. In last 3 years, we have won all the contracts on our terms and conditions drafted by me. Still I am not worthy to get a small smile in praise. Instead of praise, see what I get every time. beating...

nothing else.... but... beating....

I am also getting life threats from various other companies who lost some contracts just because of me. I wish... any one of them.... just end my miserable life.

Soon, I drifted in a deep slumber.
