CHAPTER FOUR
«
A chuckle came from Anna lips the delight
on her face shows she was happy with them
humiliating her, while her blood father
stood there looking at her as though she
was a stranger no atom of wanting to help.
Her heart hurt so much digging her nails in
her hand she reined her emotions, this was
her biological father, how heartless even
when she caught Summer and Liam having
an affair she wasn't hurt just felt a bit sad or
when Anna insulted her she didn't feel
anything but when her mother was insulted
she felt intense hatred and wanted to
retailate but knew she had no means, all of
them from her stepmother, Summer, Liam
and everyone is an outsider but him who
shared the same blood with her could be so
ruthless towards his own daughter, how could her heart nor hurt?.
She bent down to arrange the books and
other document left by her mother when
she was alive, zipped the suitcases leaving
behind the scattered clothes, shoes and accessories .
"What do you mean by leaving these trash
on my floor. Anna said looking at them in disgust.
"If you don't want them you can dispose them off for all I care".
"Impudent! Bam, a hot sensation on her
cheek looking at her father raised hands in
disbelief, the palm print clearly visible
showing the, amount of force used. Since
she was little this was this was the first time
her father ever laid a hand on her.
Curling her lips in a bitter smile, the look of ridicule from Anna struck her heart.
"You waste get out of here this moment and
I never want to see you here ever again.
From now on I have no daughter like you".
Heavy rain began to fall soaking her clothes
while the shameless couple sat under the
shade of the pavilion by the side created for entertainment.
"Maids take these trash and burn them, then disinfect the whole vila"
"Yes madam, maids scurrying around with umbrella.
Her mother Maria Walterson is the only
child of the then powerful Walterson family
one of top four influential family in city A.
Her was a gentle, talented and elegant
woman, soft spoken and very beautiful
woman one of the top beauty of her time
and that is where Amelia got her looks
from. Her father was just a poor boy who
got scholarship into a prestigious college her mother studied in.
There was a time her mother was schemed
against and almost raped in a gathering at
a bar and her father ended up saving her
and that is how their love started that even
when her grandparents were against the
marriage, her mother protested rejecting all
her suitors for him and finally got married
bringing wealth to the Smith family and
when her grandparents died their company
then became the Smith group, as the only
child her mother was doted on since young,
when they were dating her father never told
her mother about having a childhood
sweetheart which was the then Anna,
coming from the same town and being
neighbors they fell in love but just to
become wealthy he abandoned her got
married to her mother but after marriage
still had an affair. This was what she found
in her mother's dairy while packing, if not
she wouldn't have known how shameless those couple are.
Looking the familiar house from far off she
felt nothing but hate in her heart her fist clenched tightly.
Ring Ring a message popped up Amelia
phone, taking it from her back pocket.
Hello good afternoon we are from xx bank
this is to inform you that all your debit
cards have all being declined and the all
fund being transfer to xx account. Visit our
customers care for more info or help.
Very good Anna, she smiled sarcastically.
Pitter patter the rain continue to fall
"Hello ma, an umbrella raised above
her head shielding her from the rain,
looking up a middle aged man with a kind face spoke.
"Did you book a ride?"
"Yes do you know any cheaper hotel".
Seated in the car while the driver loaded her
suitcase plus the one she brought from her
travel all of them were about three.
Looking at her phone screen her smudge
makeup looking quite ugly , hair and
clothes all wet. Wanting to clean the
makeup but having no makeup remover with her.
"Miss the hotel you ask for is far from here
and the security there is not safe for a lady like you".
"Thanks for the concern but please drop me off there".
Looking at the lady from the side mirror he
was quite surprised wearing smudge
makeup and a plain yellow dress, from the
estate she came out from only influential
families can live there and from her
temperament doesn't seem like someone born in a poor family.
Anyway is none of my business, wearing the
seatbelt and starting the car maneuvering
the wheels. The car passed through several
bustling streets, seller with their wares,
buyers looking at the product negotiating price so carefree.
After passing several alley the street they
drove into is noisy not as orderly as the
previous streets houses closely built together
with most them been dilapidated with paint
faiding out, dirty roads, overgrown bushes. Children running around in
dirty clothes with patches, some women
and men gather to play some kind of game,
curses could be heard, fighting sound and
quarreling which all seem normal for such a
place. This gave her a shock but her face
still remains the same this should be the slums.
"Miss we are here, a dilapidated two storey
building stood before her with the sign
board hanging loosely and few letters
missi
ng WECOME TO MAP LE HOTE.
Bringing her suitcase from the boot and paying the fare.
"Hello miss a kind advice the driver whisper

are theives everywhere and have something to protect yourself.
