"Lovely!!!! Lovely!!!!! Where's Lovely?" Lovely's stepmom lifted her skinny legs up and down, looking everywhere for her.

She was inside a huge box, sealed up. And don't ask how she got there, it was no other person than her bastard brother who sealed it.

Soon she heard her stepmom's footsteps inside the room.

"Mum!" She looked everywhere before she came towards the box, taking off the tapes and tearing it open.

"Mum! I freaking thought...."

"Hush!" She looked at her interrogatively, and i knew there was trouble.

"Am sorry Mum. I..."

"Don't call me that."

"I...."

"I don't wanna know how you got here. Just go downstairs, drink the tea i made you, and go to work."

"Woah. Since when did she start making me tea? Ever since Dad died, she has never really made me anything" Lovely thought as she walked downstairs, and saw her bratty brother, Ford, drinking the same tea.

"Wow, can you ever change?" she asked him.

"Ask my butt." He burst into hysteric laughter and ran upstairs like a kid. She went out of the house angrily. Of course, what she had expected when she got to work, she was late.

"Lovely, where have you been, the manager has been waiting." Lovely entered the manager's office, and when he saw her, he flared up.

"How dare you come late again Lovely? What the heck got into you? Well its not like you're even useful in the restaurant, you're just a piece of garbage! You are

coccydynia to everyone in the restaurant! We hate your food! I repeat, you're worthless! Thank Goodness your parents are dead so they don't see the worse things you do! You are a damage to the world itself!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Lovely yelled and slapped him across the face.

"How dare you question my self worth? Do you wanna go to hell? Give me an answer!" She gave his neck a funny squeeze, as he nodded vigorously.

"Useful in the restaurant?? If i was a wealthy lass, would i be in your shit, which you call restaurant, to cook for your rude customers with a lazy profit? If you don't give me answers, i will kill you butt-head!"

"A...a...am....am...am..s...s."

"And again, you said i was c...c...co...co...you and your grammar just deserves hell, nothing more. Now, you don't have to fire me from your restaurant. I'll leave. But always remember, if you employ someone else, don't you dare talk about her self worth just like you did here. I came late, not my parents, so why are you dragging them into it?" Lovely let go of his neck and stormed out of the office crying.

"Hi Lovely, what happened? Why are you crying so much?" Her sister saw her running out of the restaurant on her way to the market.

"Its...its..its the manager, he was insulting me and my self worth, even my parents all because i came late." Lovely cried and sniffed.

"OMG, how could he be such a butt-head! How dare he?" Demelza hugged her and stroked her hair while she cried on her shoulder.

"Please don't cry, unnie. It breaks my heart." Demelza pulled Lovely to a corner and wiped her tears.

"Thanks Dem. But, how am i gonna work things? Mom will set me ablaze, and Ford will make fun of me forever. I don't have a job of my own now, and i'll be worthless as the manager said. Maybe i should go back to Melbourne. What do you think?"

"Well i think its a great idea. But i will come with you, unnie. I can't do without you. We should go to Aunt's house." Demelza smiled and said.

"I love you. You're my support system. What did i do to deserve such a caring sister?" Lovely started crying again.

"Yes babe!" Demelza squeezed her hand tight and they decided to go shopping together.

"Sir, here are your files."

"I hope you checked properly and appended your signature"

"Yes sir." The staff bent over to pick up a file that fell, and Logan hissed.

"What happened sir?" She bit her lower lip.

"Why are you in this company? To seduce me or what?" He asked, while the staff chewed her fingers.

"Out. With the files."

"Sir, please! Am sorry, i won't wear this skirt anymore." She knelt to plead with him, but she crawled out before he freaked out.

"Logan.....why do you love making staffs cry?" His mom entered smiling.

"Staffs? Cry? Barf." He rolled his eyes and continued working on his laptop.

"Ma'am, please help me plead.." The staff peeped in.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Logan thundered and the staff ran off.

"Bitch." He cursed under his breath.

"Logan. Before your dad passed away, these staffs were so happy. Yeah, some of them have been working here since then. But two years ago when you became CEO, life has been so hard for them. You, your murderous glare, insults, rage and even rape, you're always - "

"No. No, no, no. Don't even say i raped anyone. Most of these stupid staffs are in love with me, forcing themselves on me. And some....some can't be resisted." He folded his arms.

His mom stared at him and relaxed on his sofa.

"Darling....try to change...don't be Lucifer. Be nicer." His mom said in a gentle voice.

"Okay mom. Am sorry." His phone rang and he answered the call angrily.

"Why the hell are you calling me? I said i don't have anything to do with you and your fake pregnancy! Get out!" He snarled.

"Honey, its not fake. Its true, am pregnant and its your child..."

"Is that Eleanor?" His mom asked as he hung up.

"Yes. That witch got pregnant with my child."

"You raped her, didn't you?"

"Its all the same with those staffs. Mum, do me one favor and please don't talk about Eleanor or any other girl in front of Dakota. You purchased her for me and if you tell her these things, she'll be sad."

"I didn't purchase her." His mom pouted.

"You should leave now."

"Just take a look at Melbourne's Botanic Garden" Lovely showed Demelza pictures on her phone.

"Its so beautiful i wanna go there!" Demelza yelled happily. Their stepmother stormed towards them, snatched the phone and smashed it under her feet.

"MOM...." Lovely yelled crying.

"Shut up! You worthless girl lost your job and you have the guts to see watching Melbourne! Do you have any money to put anything on the table for your siblings to eat?"

"Please stop talking to Lovely like that!" Demelza screamed.

"And you! You should get something doing too! Not just sitting home watching movies! You girls don't have life!" Their stepmom insulted. Lovely ran upstairs crying with Demelza following her.

"I knew she would disgrace me! I just knew it! Mum, i know you're watching this, please bless me. You promised me you'd bless me! And you Dad, you said you wouldn't let me be. You called me your teddy bear. Why did you betray me like this? Its sad, i hate you!" Lovely fell on the ground crying bitterly.

"Am sorry Lovely. I think we should leave New Orleans tonight. I will steal some money for you."

"Please, Daddy come back i miss you! I wish i had a family!!!! I wish i had some life! I can't bear this anymore! Everyone hates me!" Lovely grabbed a knife and Demelza gasped.

"Am coming Dad!!!!!" Lovely said and slit her wrist.
