" honey we told you already, you had an accident and that's why you can't re.......", she interrupted, " enough of that crap , I refuse to believe it, you guys always forget my birthday, you don't support my wishes, da is always clinging to mum, remember the time you guys forgot me at your friend's house, where do I belong in this picture ?", she asked, " that's your business young lady", Edward said nonchalantly to get elbowed by his wife " awww honey, that hurts" he said as their daughter made for the door " at least have some toast", Annelise pleaded,
She just rolled her eyes, turned around, staring into her mothers eyes" its not ur biz whether I eat or starve, I prefer to eat junk than stand here and watch you yelling at me" she scoffed and matched straight to her car.
She stared at the grandeur of the house and tapped her self, "I'll make sure I make this money and power, I'll show you all what Maryanne Starling can do, I'll make this world crumble and bow before me" she smirked, reaching for her phone she dialled " hello mum.....take ur drugs and quit worrying.... I'll eat something ", " my dear don't do anything that will make you bow your head in shame, remember that I love you", she said.
" Don't worry, I'd never bow to anyone, I rather die and you know that", she said as she hung up and drove off.
