"Happy birthday to you…..," birthday chants rang through the room as people participated in the celebration but the celebrant's mood was sour.
It was her birthday. Why was she not happy?
The girl standing in front of a big princess cake was no other than 18 years old Anastasia who was dressed in a beautiful purple princess dress.
She just clocked another age that day and the house workers and some of her friends were there to celebrate with her.
Anastasia looked towards the house entrance waiting for her parents to walk in but she was met with premium disappointment and that saddens her.
They have always missed important moments in her life because they were always busy with work, which is why she has always been in the care of her nannies.
"Anastasia you can now cut the cake," one of her friends urged her and she sighed with eyes almost brimming with tears.
