• Bella Puella Pov *
After father leaved us, mother's trying everything to make sure she didn't break down due to father action. My sister and I knew she's trying to looking for our father. We both didn't dare mention anything about him. My father and my mother didn't have any relatives because they've grown up at an orphanage home. There's where they're both getting to knew eachother and ended up falling in love and marry.
Our mother still treated me and my sister's the same at that period. She went to work and do her daily routine. She didn't show her true feelings infront of me and my sister. But we both knew she'll crying silently before she falls asleep every night inside their bedroom. A few months has passed and she suddenly went on business trip. My sister and I has to stay at home because of the school. My mother hired a maid to prepared everything for me and my sister during her time away. One week later, she's coming back. She's acting strangely. She always asking my sister to sleeps with her in her room. And left me alone to sleeping in my room. She didn't show her true intentions towards me when she's started torturing me. I just thoughts I was just helping her by doing all the chores inside the house. And I'm willing to do all of the chores so when I'm growing up, I'll know all this stuff. But she didn't let's my big sister do anything. Over the years, I have realized something about her behaviour towards me and my sister. I asked her why did she treated me and my big sister differently. When I asked her that. She snapped before she hits me harder. Since that day, she changes dramatically. She also ordered me to moved to a storeroom and made sure I did all the chores around the house . The worst part of my mother's behaviour is when she's slapped me each time I asked for mercy from her. She wanted me to quit school but the teachers keep calling her and asked her why'd I didn't attend any classes. She didn't want anyone to know how she'd treated me. So she let me attended school. She makes sure I sealed my mouth about her behaviour towards me. Or I'll pay. Before I go to school, I have to do all the chores around the house and eat a small portion of food just enough for me to survived. Lucky for me, the school has provided free food for those who didn't bring any food or forgot to bring ones. Sometimes, I keep an extra pack of free food to eat later. Plus, my sister and I happen to going to different schools because our mother has moved my sister to privilege school. At first day Sheila moved there I felt jealous but when I knew that she cannot see anything I do at school. I didn't care about that anymore. Plus it's a bonus for me because when I'm at school, I'm free from her and mother for a few hours. Sometimes, I wanted to delayed my time when I walked from school to home but I couldn't do that , mother will make sure I back home recording to her time frame. Or she will double all my chores. At night, my mother never allowed me to eat. She just gave me one glass of milk or water for dinner . At first years she's doing that, I sneaked out from my room and ate when she and my big sister was sleeps. I couldn't control my hunger and that action make me regretted my own choice. And she knows about that the next morning . She punished me by letting me starving for two days. She only allowed me to drink one bottle of water pre-day during the punishment time. I almost died those days, but I managed to survive. And I never dare to sneak out at night anymore just to satisfy my hunger. Over the years ,my body is starting to adjust it's self recording to my eating routine. I didn't feel hungry and my body was satisfied with a small portion of food that my mother forced me to take. And I still don't know why, over the years my body still has curves at the right place. My hips and my breasts still looks more plumper than my big sisters. Because of the small portion of food ,my waist and stomach way too thin than another young girl around my ages. And she always complains about my body to mother and accused me of stealing food because of that.
"Mom. Did she sneaking out again at night to stealing food from our refrigerator?"
"I don't think she would dare doing such things again my princess. She wouldn't want to feel my wrath. Why'd you ask that my princess?"
"Because she still look fatter than me?"
"Are you saying that you're skinny my princess? She's a pig. And you're my beautiful princess. You wouldn't compare yourself to a pig right? You wouldn't do it any more okay princess. You've a beautiful body like a supermodel. And you have a beautiful luxurious curly brown hair." Mother's feeding her with that, my sister is thinner but due to her small breasts and hip, she look more skinnier than me.
"But I still have this disgusting darker skin and she's still the fairest than me even though she does all the chores around this house." My sister added.
"Who's saying having a darker skin is disgusting? Who told you that!? Did Beyonce's looking so divine all the time when she sings on the stage and not forgetting the most beautiful supermodel Tyra Banks. And needed I listed out all the wonderful lady and womens that's so beautiful with their darker skin tone . "
" But mom... " Sheila's pouted.
" That's enough. No need to say anything could've made yourself sad my beautiful princess."
Our mother's hugging her and kiss her cheeks. And I wished, my mother's going to hugs me and kiss me like she always does when I'm still little girl.
" Do whatever Sheila told you to do. Then you'll finishing what's your already left . And why'd you work so slow ha? You wanted me to punish you again?"
" Don't mo.... Madam ." Oh my gosh, I almost called her mother because I daydream about my fake hope.
" Still forgetting the rules ?" My mother didn't allowed me to call her mother inside our house. Only infront of another people or at public places I could've called her mother. No one's and I mean not a single soul in this planet knowing that's she'll always treated me badly. Her and my sister. They're hides it so well because they've always hit me at the part where's no one's could've see or notices it.

My life becomes more miserable after I turned 18 year old. I've finished my school with a very good grades despite the miserable life I went through. My mother and my big sister hates me more than they're already does. I worked all day and night to make sure all their needed is fulfilled. I'll get to sleep only five hours a days because mother will make sure she'll already prepared many chores for me around her mansion. Her bakery shop's becomes more successful than before. But my life still the same, pathetic and miserable.
