"This is wrong, she is my sister now. I am supposed to kill every feeling I have for her." I muttered.    I've always had feelings for her, since when we were in grade school but I didn't know how to tell her so I bullied her instead. I followed her to college because I couldn't stay away from her, I knew she'd never agree to go out with me.     Hearing the news about her mom and my dad getting married was like a dagger in my chest. But then I thought it'd be a good thing because if she became my sister, my feelings for her would automatically disappear but they didn't. ................. After I terrible heartbreak, Abigail found comfort in her stepbrother and that's when she noticed that he has been harbouring feelings for her and she felt the same but such love is forbidden.

She had always wished to be a successful person with a good heart, but that never happened. After living a life as a maid after her father died, her step mom decided to sell her off into a brothel were she was bought by a ruthless Mafia who loves to inflict pain. I was sleeping in my doll-size room when someone suddenly barged in, without looking I know who it was "you daughter of the devil, what are you still doing in that bed? Oh, you think this is your mother's house where there were no rules? Huh?" Before I could form a reply in my brain, my mom's stepmother gave me a tight slap on my cheek. "Mom is sorry, I didn't mean to wake up late, I just slept late because I was waiting on Sandra." Sandra is my sister, she is just like her mother. "Oh, so you are complaining? Useless fool" she held my left leg and pull me out of the bed, I fell kissing the cold floor. As if that wasn't enough, she took out her slippers hitting me with them, the pain sips into my spine. "Mom please stop, that's enough," I thought by now I'll be familiar with the pain but am not, I can still feel it. "How many times do I have to tell you never to call me mother huh? You cursed child, bringer of bad luck." Welcome to my world, my world of pain. Done with her piece of art on my body, she left me weeping on the floor "I give you five minutes, come downstairs, the house won't clean itself." She left. I carry myself up from the floor and went to the bathroom, I clean myself up but didn't take a bath, five minutes is too small. On my way downstairs I peeped into my sister's room and there she was sleeping on her bed looking like a princess, tears sting my eyes but I blink them away. I carry myself to the kitchen, clean the dirty dishes and pots, made breakfast, and set the table for her royal majestic and her princess. Carrying on to clean the house, dusting, sweeping, and mopping the floor. Time to call the owners of the house, I went to mom's room first, I tap on her shoulder lightly. Though she was the one who woke me up from sleep, she still didn't budge "mom breakfast is ready." She finally woke up, I went to the bathroom and run the bath for her. Done with her, I went to Sandra's room, "Sandra" I called lightly, she stretched her arms and yawn "hmm what a beautiful and peaceful night it was." She said "now go run the bath for me, I need to take a bath oh and make it extra foamy. Go on" she wave her hand at me like I was a maid but I don't blame her. Standing at a corner, I watch them eat their breakfast. This is how it is, I cook, they eat and I have what is left that is if anything remains. My life was not always like this, I use to be a princess, the apple of my parent's eyes but when mom died, everything changed. Dad got married again, and the first few years were good but when dad died, I was immediately transformed into a maid and punching back, the receiver of all the insults. I pray my life gets better one day, I know there is still hope, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and I will reach the end very soon, and that will be after I run away from this hell hole. My mouth watered at the sight of the food, I didn't even save myself a bite because I had work to do and I know if I do and I get caught, mom's slipper won't be the only thing that will touch my body this morning. Like most of the time, I didn't get anything, they ate everything on the plate. "Hey you, clean this place up, we are done," Sandra said pointing at me with her index finger. I did it, I clean the table, taking the dirty dishes and bowls to the kitchen to wash them. "When you are done with the dishes, I have some dirty clothes which need to wash, hand washed." I heard Sandra say in the dining room "sure I'll do that." I replied. Done with the dishes, I went to her room with a basket on my waist full of dirty clothes, I went to the back. "Where is that bucket?" I ask myself, I went to the general bathroom, took three buckets, fill them with water. I wash the dresses, I wonder if the heavens have a problem with me or something, the sun is scorching hot, and I could feel the sweat on my back, chest, forehead, my leg, and armpits. Gosh I stink, I'll need to take a cold bathe after this if and only if my mom doesn't have any more errands for me. I place the washed clothes on the line under the sun. Thank God am done, I went to my room, and since mom didn't call or ask for anything, I decided to take a bath. I enter my mini bathroom, strip myself naked, standing in front of the bathroom mirror, I look at myself, the scars which I thought will disappear didn't, a long slash line ran from my back to my waist, I trace the line feeling the roughness "I miss you mom, I wish you were here, life would be better." I muttered, blinking back the tears that clouded my eyes, I went to the shower. The cold water cascade down my body, I close my eyes loving the way the water feels on my body, the coldness was great. Applying soap on the sponge, I scrub my body, not being gentle at all, scrubbing my breast making sure there is no trace of sweat. Done with bathing, I rap myself with the towel, and I feel refreshed. "Where were you?" Mom asks the moment I set my feet in the living room "mom I went upstairs to take a bath, do you need anything?" She glared at me "who told you to go take a bath? Your lucky am in a good mood. Now take this morning, buy everything that is on that list, and make sure you get everything right." I nod, took the money and the list, and went out to buy the things mom asked for.

Amaya didn't expect her life to drastically change, she had moved to the US to work and support her family. She thought she was coming to work as a house maid not knowing she is going to be surrogate for a billionaire who has decided not to marry but want to be a father. "Amaya honey bring the pot for me." I heard my mom say, I quickly shut the novel in my hand and rush to go do what my mom ask me to. Ah pardon my bad manners, I am Arrey Amaya Besong, I live with my mom in the city of Limbe Cameroon. My mom is a single mom, she shoulders the responsibility of three kids who are my brothers Blossom and Bello, my dad died few years ago. "Mom what do you plan on cooking?" I watch her place a tray on her lab before saying "What else? Our normal rice." I laughed because it is true. "Let me handle the tomatoes." I took a bowl and pour water in it before taking the tomatoes, a knife and a plate. Mom and cook the food, it was empty but it smell nice, the ingredients doesn't matter what matters is that it fulls my belly. My brothers came in not too long after we were done with the cooking. "Your back." They took turns in hugging before hugging my mom. My brothers love me so very much and they are overly over protective of me, as in I am twenty six but am not allowed to have a boyfriend. "Go take a bath while Amaya and I set the table." Mom instructed which they happily complied. At the dining table which was not big enough to carry more than four persons "how was work at the site?" Mom ask when she saw Blossom stretching his neck. "Nothing we can't handle mom, they constructor us strict but we can handle him, can't we Bello?" Blossom ask Bello. "Of course we can. Plus if we get tired, Amaya is here to give us a body massage." I smiled but didn't comment on the topic. "That's true, her hands work like magic." Mom wave her hand to stop them from talking. "Shut up and eat before you choke on the rice." After our meal, I massage my brothers. "Let's go watch a movie, Jerry gave me his flash which is packed with movies." We went to the sitting room, I connected the flash into my BP laptop, a gift from our president. "What are we watching and why did Jerry give you his flash? Hope there is nothing going on between you two." I rolled my eyes at Blossom and said "no there's nothing plus he is not my speck." "Let's watch Drag Me To Hell." Bello gave me look "you want to watch a movie which you wouldn't end and won't let us watch it in peace because of your screams which I believe will wake mom up from her sleep." "I won't scream this time, I can stand it." Blossom didn't comment, he played the movie. I place my head on Bello's chest and he rap his hand on my waist. We watch the movie together, I didn't scream because nothing scary happened. But it didn't last long, when the old woman who wanted her house began the fight with the girl, I shake uncomfortably on my seat, I lift up my head which was on Bello's chest to look at him. He gave me a knowing look, a look which says 'don't scream and am not going to comfort you.' I move to Blossom's side and he held me, I stick my tongue out mocking Bello. Like Bello said, I didn't complete the movie I left going to my doll size room to sleep. I could hear Bello's laugh echoing inside the house. The next day, mom and I went to the market to buy food stuff. The new town market was noisy as always, women shouting what they are selling to gain customers, children who are not privilege to go to school turn to hawking. Boys using all measures to sell their clothes, they even go as far as pulling you to their spot and putting the dress on your body. Mom held my hand like am some kid, scared that we will get separated, old habits die hard. We went to the area were women sell vegetables and other food stuff. "Mom what are we cooking today?" I asked, she paused to greet her friend ignoring my question. This is one of the reasons why I don't like coming to the market with her, she will greet everyone she knows, make long discussion. "Mom, we still have to buy things to cook remember." She scratched her head before leaving her friend unwillingly because she wasn't done talking. "Okay let's go." We went to buy veggies meaning we are going to have a change in the menu. "We are going to cook fufu corn and vegetable." She answered my question from earlier. "Okay." After buying what we needed for today's meal, we went home taking a taxi. Mom and I prepare today's lunch like we always do. Even though I am a university graduate, I don't have a job. My country is a place were even after you graduate with the honor role, without connection you won't get a good paying job. "Blossom and Bello will be coming back very soon, we should speed things up." Mom said. "We would be done by now if you hadn't stop to greet everyone in the market." I muttered under my breath. "What did you say?" Mom asked. "Nothing mom, nothing important." She looked at me before saying "I thought as much." "Hmm this is one of the reasons why I jump with joy every time I close from that boring job of mine." Bello said. Bello and Blossom are twins and as you've noticed, Bello is the talkative while Blossom is the quiet one who doesn't speak unless it is necessary. "Mom's food is always delicious, I wonder when this one will learned how to cook." Did I tell you Bello is annoying? Well if I didn't, now you know. "For your information, I cooked today's dish. Mom just helped me out." "No wonder it taste like trash, I wonder when you will learn." Even though he said it he continue to eat the food. "Says the person who keeps eating the food and humming in approval." I muttered under my breath but he heard it.
