After arriving at the airport I took a taxi straight home.
‘Yes am back to were it all started' I said to myself, took a deep breath and walk into the mansion. Everyone, the maids, guards, look at me with an aww look.
‘Am no longer the little naïve, shy, innocent and calm girl they once knew. Now…hahaha…. am crazy. Yeah though am a small actress in a local acting industry I still fight for my dreams.' I halt when I saw my father, his wife and there daughter.
I smiled dryly and said 'Am home…..who missed me?"
'Why are you back???!!" Father said
'Honey calm down she just came back why don't we let her rest first….." Marie my stepmom said. She's a quiet devil….a pretender…she is a good actress too in front of my father…I guess her daughter got the professional acting skills from her.
'Sister…. Welcome home" said Jolene.
'A point for correction Jolly , I AM NOT YOUR SISTER!!!!" I glanced at her.
'Get out…..out….you ungrateful bitch….you bad egg….." dad yelled.

'You slut!!!, why are you back??" Jolene yelled
'To see if I can move around like your mother…. Looking for married men to snatch" I said. I could see them burning up in anger, I was winning their little game.
'Gem….don't anger me or else you want to see your dead mother" said Marie
'Of course I'd see her. But as for you two???, hahaha…..you big daddy Mr. devil is waiting for you……" Marie got too angry as she raise her hands and slap me.
'I promise you….you will not live long….just like your mother…." She said.
'Let's see who get to meet big daddy first" Jolene said and dance after her mother. I gnashed my teeth in anger.
'Oh and by the way…..I hope you haven't forgotten what I said when we were 16?, I promise that I'd take everything away from you…. EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND CHERISH" Jolene said.

'Miss let me pull her away no problem" his deep voice and aura brought shiver to Ruth. ‘This was no ordinary person' she thought.
Leon tried to pull her away but the more he tried the more the little body girl hug him tighter never wanting to let go. If he use more force he'd sure pull her away but he might hurt her. He hate hurting women especially girls.
'Miss…..miss…..wake up…. You've got the wrong person" he tried to wake her up but the girl started crying.
'It's all your fault for living me first.
