Out of the corner of her eye, she could see her father walking into the kitchen. It would be good if he could hear Rachels words she thought.
Lucy noticed her looking behind her mother and alerted her.
"Father, come sit and eat. You have been working hard all day."
Lucy came forward to grab her stepfather's arm but as usual, he patted her hand and let it go. She sneered inwardly he always kept her at a distance and although he didn't show any favouritism towards April he also never gave her the things she wanted.
He had money as they were a wealthy family but he would never buy her pretty things without her asking him. She had to rely on using Aprils bank as well as her own card to buy her bags, clothes and jewellery.
Martin sat at the head of the table and Rachel and Lucy followed both sitting at his side. Rachel had been left with no alternative but to stop sweet talking April for now.
