" wake up, sleepyhead, all you know how to do is sleep " my mom said tapping me angrily. I groaned
" go wash the dishes " she instructed
" but mom, we have a maid " i replied sleepily.
" i must not meet you here when i come back " she said and with that walked out.
I carried my legs sluggishly to the bathroom . I took my bath brushed my teeth and walked out. I applied my body lotion and wore my clothes. I headed downstairs, Mia my little sister was having breakfast, she looked at me and frowned, i ignored her and walked to the kitchen. I had already washed all the plates when Mia walked in and dropped her plate in the basin. She turned to leave
" come wash the plate " i said to her
She turned
" i don't want to " she said rolling her eyes at me.
" are you nuts " i half yelled
" well do your worst " she sneered
" I'm not going to repeat my words Mia, because I'm not your maid " i replied .
" I'm not gonna wash it and that's final " she replied
I raised my hands about to hit her when my mom walked into the kitchen.
" what were you trying to do " she asked me.
" i was about to slap Mia " i sneered
" and you still have the guts to say it huh?, how many times do i have to tell you not to try to lay your filthy hands on Mia " she yelled. A tear escaped my eyes. She turned to Mia
" go to school dear " she said
Mia looked at me and smirked before leaving.
" mum, what... " i started but i got interrupted by her.
" you are grounded " she said
" but mom, i have test today " i replied
" i don't care, but you are grounded " she replied and walked away. I walked to my room and shut the door.
"Oh God, why, why do i have to go through this all the time, why do i have to be the hated one, i can't do this anymore, I'm tired " i said crying
I thought of running away but the idea, just frightens me the more .
I can't miss this test, what do i do.
I walked to my closet and took a black hoodie, i wore it and carried my bag." I'm going for this test and nothing is gonna stop me " i said to myself as i walked to the window. I pushed it open ,I climbed out and rested on the branch of the tree close to my window. I reached out to the window and closed it a little bit . I climbed down from the tree and looked around cautiously to make sure no one was there , when I was sure none was there I raced to my bicycle, wore my helmet and rode straight to school. I peddled as fast as i could and got to school at the nick of time. I immediately ran to my class and took my seat.
" hey, you were late " Chelsea my best friend asked as I took my seat.
"The usual" I simply said.
Chelsea is my best friend, she's always there for me , she's everything to me . when I told her *the usual * she already understood what I meant. It was no secret how my parents treated me. We started the test and ended it sooner than I expected. After the test Chelsea walked over to me
" girl ,what happened this time ?" She asked as she sat on my table
" my mom grounded me " I sighed
"Why?, doesn't she know you have test today " she replied surprised
" I seriously don't know ,but I need to go now ,she must not find out I sneaked out " I replied as I carried my bag.
" okay " Chelsea replied as we walked out of the class together
" oh no " I muttered as I saw mia ,I ducked quickly before she saw me and hid .
" where's Ella " I heard mia say as she approached Chelsea
" don't ask me silly I don't live with you " Chelsea sneered
" oh ,I thought she sneaked out after being grounded because of me " mia mocked as she and her friends laughed.
" ha ha ,funny " Chelsea sneered and they walked away .
When I was sure mia had gone I came out .
" Thank goodness she didn't see me if not I would have been a dead meat " I sighed as we walked to the bicycle lot.
" okay ,I'll come to your house after school " Chelsea said as I put on my helmet.
" okay ,thank you " I forced a smile as I rode away faster than I did when I was coming.
I got home and parked my bicycle carefully, I walked cautiously to my window ,climbed the tree , opened the window before jumping in.
I shut it tight when I got in and flung myself on my bed. I sighed in relief, thank goodness I wasn't caught ,because I don't know what I would go throw if I was caught. I took off the hoodie and placed it in my closet. I took my favorite novel ,why!, actually that was the title ,it was like the novel was talking about me ,just that the girl was married off to a total stranger.
I lay on my bed and flipped through the pages of the novel to where I stopped reading. Suddenly the door opened
" mom" I whispered surprised
" did you go anywhere?" she asked
Oh my!!
" no I was just in my room ....on my bed here " I managed to reply
" someone told me he saw you " she said
"Me ? ,me? No , I have been here the whole time " I replied
" Really ? ,really Ella ?" My mom asked doubtingly making me to shiver in fright.......

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
