Cassia worked as an accountant for a medium-sized company in a city in the north of the capital.
The pay was decent enough for her to raise Liliana all by herself. She also could rent a nice two-bedroom apartment for them.
There were times when Cassia had to ration their needs but, everything worked out in the end. She nurtured Liliana splendidly despite not having any major help.
When Liliana was twelve years old, her life changed overnight with the accident that fell on her mother, Cassia. The latter was involved in a hit-and-run accident. Until now, the perpetrator had yet to be caught.
Before that, Liliana never expected to be able to meet her birth father. Her mother never shared anything about him with her before.
But, her joy was instantly crushed.
"You're a mistress' child! So dirty! Don't forget your place!"
