Jessica come here right this minute am still not done speaking with you: said Raymond

I won't so that you can whip me again with a belt, there's no way am living this marriage.

Then it went along with some beating and their second daughter Lucia kept crying about what is wrong with her family but her elder sister Sofia was happy.

The next day Lucia went to school but she kept on feeling uneasy, then her dad and sis came to pick her up, finally, it dawned on her that something was wrong and her dad told her that her mum ran away with some properties she felt shocked and so devastated she kept on thinking of the sentence her mum said I won't live you Raymond you are mine but she finally left

So my life won't be complete anymore since that day she let go of motherly feelings after some time her dad finally remarried a woman who was nice like thought she was nice but who knew she was the scheming witch (that's for later)

Lucia was done with middle school in a flash

while Sofia decided to hang out and move out with bad crews, somehow Lucia's mind became twisted and it was so weird....she developed tons of anger issues, toxicity and a nasty way of talking.

At first, I was happy with my stepmother since it's what daddy wanted I tried hard to tolerate it because out of everyone out there only Sofia noticed weird stuff about her.....Lucia wasn't close to her either she just merely accepted her as her dad's wife, to be honest at first I did like her...like come on which teenager wouldn't want a mother figure so I kinda thought of her as one

Till the very day when she could no longer hide her true self honestly, Dad was shocked to the core, she even went as far as dropping insult on my mum.

I knew all stepmothers were evil...I mean coming from every Cinderella fairytale, but somehow we just had to hope that wasn't true.

Sofia somehow led a horrible life that had no turning back and Dad tried every single day to help her but it was like she shut the world out and left herself in a bottle and sometimes I sit down to think where it all went wrong.

Junior school was kinda okay and Mum came back to visit me in school, I miss her so much and was so happy about seeing her that I wanted her to be there every day I looked for reasons to get myself sick so I could see her and you know one thing I admit is that, we humans are very selfish in our ways. I knew Dad had financial problems so I went closer to Mum even taking the things she brought for Sofia.

I started hating my sister don't know when but I only knew that I don't want her to be around me somehow we wanted Sofia to be with us and mingle like a family but we didn't know we were in for a big shock;

As Lucia's obsession with her mother grew, so did her contempt for her stepmother. Every time her stepmother came around, Lucia's blood would boil with rage. It was like her presence was a constant reminder of what she saw as a betrayal. She didn't want to share her family with anyone else.

To make matters worse, Lucia's father had given his new wife a lot of power over the household. She controlled what they ate when they went to sleep, and even how much money they were allowed to spend. This was particularly difficult for Lucia's father, who had always been the head of the household and now found himself powerless.

Lucia grew increasingly unhappy as she saw her father being belittled by his new wife. She longed for the days when she had her mother around, when everything in her life was beautiful, peaceful and calm, how. wish one day those days could come back. Things took a strange turn after my mum's visit. Sofia started acting out more, staying out late and sometimes not coming home at all. Dad was worried sick and tried to reach out to her, but she just shut him out. At home, I felt like I was walking on eggshells around my stepmother, who seemed to have a new target in me now that Sofia was unreachable. I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with our family.
