Chapter one.

A/N. All the characters and setting in this book are purely a work of fiction and any similarities is just a coincidence.

Annabelle's POV.

"Annabelle! Where the heck is that stupid girl! "

I could here her rasp out my name and I shivered in fear as I rushed out of the kitchen.

As I made to exit it my leg hit itself hard on the glass door and I winced in total pain and fell to the floor with a loud thud letting out a loud shout.

There was a nail stucked to the door which I didn't know how it got there and it has cut deep into my legs.

"mommmmmmy... "

I winced in pains as I grabbed my leg and tossed on the floor.

"where the heck is that stupid b*tch?"

I heard another snap form Beatrice and I let out a tear as I tried to stand to my feet but then I fell back to the ground with so much pains.

It was unbearable.

"Annabelle. Your so stupid that you have to hurt yourself because of your carelessness.

Not like I care though but just to tell you to be careful next time.

Get up and get the food to the guest this instant before I loose it! "

Beatrice snapped with a scowl on her face.

It was typical of my step mom to be this nasty to me anyway.

Since most stepmothers are evil just like Cinderella's,snow white's and other Disney princess who suffered from their horrible step mothers.

But the only difference is that I'm not a princess.

I'm a slave in my own house.

"yes ma'am. I'll bring it right away! "

I said and stood up with the pains in my legs still aching to the guts.

I stood up and limped towards the table taking the tray of cake I had baked for her guest earlier as I limped towards the door with it.

My leg was flowing out blood like a river.

It stained the floor as I walked along.

I knew I hate a lot of scrubbing to do later on.

The guest was non other than lady Silvia who was the golden friend to her highness Beatrice.

I tugged my lips together not to sure my displeasure and pains as I walked towards the table and dropped the tray on it bowing to Silvia who looked at me with scorning eyes.

"have you forgotten how to greet you elders young lady? "

I heard her snap and I bite my lips bowing more.

"I am sorry lady Silvia. I was just going to great you. How was your day Madam? "

I greeted her with total respect.

It took a lot of time before she was able to answer.

"good for you.

Is this the cake I asked you to prepare?

Pour me a glass of wine would you? "

She ordered with a sly smile at me.

I sighed and took the bottle of wine from the table as I uncapped it.

"so how is our little princess Renee doing at school? Did she need anything?"

I heard lady Beatrice asked Silvia who smiled at her.

"my princess is doing very good. What of my son in-law? Heard he's won the championship for the New Kala country this year.

New Kala is sure lucky to have him in their team. "

Silvia remaeks as she took the Glass of juice from me while I was still pouring it.

Her hands brushed mine intentionally and I recoiled as the wine spilled all over her white dress.

"gracious lord! "

I heard Beatrice growled and then I new the heavens have finally decided to betray me.

I was in for it.

"are you blind? Why can't you get anything right huh? "

She snapped and stood up from her chair turning toward the other side of the table where i stood with the glass of wine that was poured out in my hands shivering in fear.

"Come here you wench! "

She snapped and dragged my hair givinge a dirty slap right across my left ear.

I felt numb for a second but then I couldn't feel anything the next minutes.

I was already used to this type of I'll treatment.

I fell to the floor and winced in pains.

My legs was hurting like crazy.

"get out of my sight now! "

Beatrice snapped and I limped away with the little strength I has left in me towards the stairs.

"and make sure to tidy up the whole mansion before you go to bed! "

I heard her bossy call from behind me.

"yes ma'am. "

Was all all I could say as I walked away back to the kitchen.

*

*

I winced in pains as the spirit touched my skin.

It was burning and hurtful that I had to hold back my tears at all cost.

It was driving me nuts .

After that I used the bandage to couple my wound carefully.

I was barely done when I heard a loud knock from window.

I rolled my eyes knowing who it was exactly.

Our mansion is located at the east of new Kala and my room is in the artic which is as cold as heck.

There are over ten rooms and three floors in our mansion but they only let me sleep in the artic.

I was used to it anyway.

"you can come in if you like Mara. But I ain't opening that window for ya. I'm injured. "

I snapped.

There was a ruffle just outside the window and then it was flung open a moment later.

Mara's red head popped up.

"you idiot. How did your hurt your ankle. I was planning to take you to Jake's party tonight. You ruined my plans! "

She snapped as soon as she stepped in.

It was typical of my best friend who was no tomboy although she could climb storey buildings and do all kinds of crazy stuffs.

Mara's is 19,only two months older than me.

I had met her three months back when I went grocery shopping for the queen.

She was shot in the arm when I first find her and I had to save and secretly fend to her wounds.

She turned out to be a spy from a different country.

She was a daughter of a military general and already had a high rank at such a young age.

Her combat skills where non to date and she had a very different and cute sexy bad girl charm.

I would sometime sneak out with her at night when the queen was asleep to attend a undercover for her.

I even let her dye hair blue which caused me a hella trouble with queen Beatrice.

"who are you after this time? "

I asked.

She took her seat right besides me.

"am after the presidents damn son. I found out he's in the frat. He has to go down!

You haven't told me how you got injured yet! "

She hissed and touched my hair.

"there was a nail stucked to the kitchen door. Didn't know how it got there anyway.. "

I muttered and she clicked her tongue.

"someone must definitely have put it there. There's no where in hell a f*cking nail will be in a very well kept and elegant mansion like this will it? "

She asked with squinted eyes.

I sighed.

"anyways. The did has already being done..."

My voice came out as a mumble.

"I have to go Anna. I'll see you tomorrow! "

Mara's said as she kissed my long wavy blue hair as she ran to the window.

"and oh. I'll be dying your hair pink when next I come. "

She said before climbing up the window.

"oh please.. "

I groaned and fell on the bed.

You must be wondering where dad is.

If he's dead or not.

Well dad is very much alive.

He's being on a business trip to Beackbug city for two months now.

And just like my step mother he just doesn't care if I didn't live.

My mother died when I was six in a fire on an attempt to save me.

And since then.

I've being ridiculed and called a murderer that I didn't even want to go out anymore.

Ive only stopped at highschool and I don't even dream of going out of the mansion if not on an errand or with Mara any longer.

There was a knock on my door as I was about to drift to sleep.

It was past eleven.

'who would want to pay me a visit in an attic at such and hour?'

I though as I stood up and limped towards the door opening.

It revealed my worst nightmare.

"Tyler... "

I muttered as the corner of my eyes glistened with fear and hatred.

"hello dear sister. Did you miss me while I was away? "

He asked with a long smirk at the corner of his lips.

I sighed.

"what do you want with me? "

I asked trying to hold back my tears.

He is the most horrible person I've ever met in my whole life.

He would make me do disgusting things.

Really disgusting things.

He would make me suck his d*ck forcefully and make me strip while he records it in his camera.

He uses all the videos of me he has in his phone to blackmail me into doing it again and again or else he will threaten to upload everything on the internet.

He is my real nightmare.

Thankfully he hasn't tried to go intimate with me thanks to the fact that it's a taboo to have s*x with one selves sibling.

Although I am am being abused by him he have never gone extreme with it.

I am glad I still have my Chasity although my inner innocence has being ruined and toiled on.

I had nothing left to brag about.

"I've missed playing with you little sister.. "

He muttered and touched my chin looking at me cockily.
