Elena's POV
Family.
What is family?
Is only having mom and dad called a family?
Then no. A big no .Because, I know what family is! I myself know what the real meaning of family is.
I have mom, dad, yeah, also a sister but still, I don't have any family. I am lonely.
My dad divorced my mom because of money. I still remembered my mom's pledging. She pled to my dad not to divorce her.
My dad laughed evilly in return.
I still remembered, my mom begged him to take me with her.
But my dad kicked her out of the house in return. He locked me in the storeroom. No, no don't think that my dad kept me because of love.
He kept me with him as a punishment of my mom. He never treated me as his daughter. He always feels ashamed to call me as his daughter.
He treats me like trash. A dirty trash. I am a full-time servant of his family or I should have said my so-called family. My stepmom wanted to send me to an orphanage but dad never let it happen.
No, don't think he refused because of love. He only refused because he didn't want to miss a full-time free servant.
I have never heard about my mom, since then. I have waited for her. I used to think one day she will come and take me with her. But she never came back. I don't know if she ever came back or not but I am still waiting for her.
"Won't you come back, mom?" I whispered looking at the photograph of my mom.
"Mam, A lady wants to talk with you" Nadia, my worker told me.
Hearing the sudden voice, I got startled. I wiped my tears quickly and turned towards her.
"Send her in my cabin Nadia," I said and she nodded her head then left.
Soon, an old woman entered my room. I stand up from my chair and speaks up politely," Good evening mam. How can I help you?"
"Good evening dear. Actually, next week is my grandson's birthday. I want a special cake" She told me.
"Sure mam. You just select the design. My man will make your make mam" I told her.
"No dear. I want you to make the cake. I want your handmade baking cake" The woman told her.
"Okay, mam. I will do that. When you will need it, mam?" I asked her.
"Next Friday dear," The woman told her.
"Okay, mam. Please give me your address. I will deliver the cake next Friday in the morning" I told her.
"Sure. Here dear" The woman gave me a card.
"Thank you man," I said and she smiled and then I left my cabin.
I looked at the card and read her name "Stella Knight".
I put the card in a safe place and come outside.
The shop belonged to my mom. After she left, the shop was closed. When I completed my graduation, he told me to join his company but I refused. I requested him that I want to reopen the shop.
And thankfully he agreed. From then I am running the shop. I have four workers in my shop.
I came outside and sat down on a bench just then my phone starts ringing.
I looked at the phone and sighed.
I picked up the call and my stepmother starts shouting," Where are you useless girl? Didn't I tell you already my daughter is coming from the trip today? You need to cook dinner according to my daughter's wish. Buy groceries and come home quickly" Saying this she disconnected the line.
I looked at my watch it is 6 in the evening. I entered my shop and entered the kitchen.
"Mam, do you need something?" Nadia asked me.
"No. I am going home. Please close the shop properly and go home before 7. Okay," I told her.
"Sure mam. Don't worry" She said.
I smiled at her and come out. Taking my bag, I left my shop.
As the supermarket was five minutes away from my shop so I start walking.
While walking I saw many posters of Lina who is my stepsister. She is a model. In fact she is a famous model. She is two months younger than me. She is just like her mother and my so-called father.
My dad used to work at Jenny's husband's company. Jenny was a model of that company. Only for money, she married the old owner of that company. After seven years of their marriage, the man met in an accident and died on the spot. Also, the same day my dad divorced my mom.
Jenny married my dad after her first husband died. My dad and Jenny are made for each other.
My dad divorced my mom and got married to Jenny the very next day. Her husband died just yesterday before she got married to my dad. Lina is her and her first husband's daughter.
But, my dad never hates Lina. He always love her like she is his own daughter and I am a burden on him. He never looked at me when I cried for him. He never cares for me when I used to cry in pain, hunger, sickness. For them, I am a nonexistent person.
I took a deep breath and entered the supermarket. After buying groceries I left the market and took a taxi.
After I reached my so-called home I paid the taxi driver and entered home.
I saw Jenny and my dad is talking with some man. Maybe their business partners. I went towards the kitchen silently. I do not like to meet their business partners. They always insult me.
When I was little, Jenny used to lock me in the storeroom whenever any business partners or guests come to our home, because they feel ashamed to introduce me as their daughter. I used to cry in the storeroom, because I fear the darkness. Sometimes they forget to open the storeroom after the guests left. I used to fell asleep on the ground while begging them to open the door.
"Oh, at last, the queen of England decided to show up. Didn't I tell you to come to fast you useless girl?" Jenny shouted at me.
"I left from the shop as soon as you call me. I will make the dinner now. Just go from here I don't like to talk with you" I said.
"You bitch, seems like you got your tongue back. Just like your middle-class bitch mother" She said.
"Don't you dare to say like this? She knows very well who the real bitch is" I told her.
"What did you just say?" Someone speaks up from the back.
I turned and my dad is standing there, looking at me angrily.
"Hunter, honey did you hear? The girl is threatening me" Jenny told him.
Hearing this, I looked at her with shock. When did I threat her?
I looked at dad and about to say something but he slapped me hard.
"Be thankful that my business partners are waiting outside otherwise I will teach you a good lesson. Make dinner quickly. My business partners will also eat dinner here" Saying this dad left the kitchen.
Jenny gave me an evil smirked and left.
I wiped my tears and starts making dinner.
After two hours, I finish making dinner. I put all food on few trays. Jenny and a maid entered and took the trays then left.
I took out a cold water bottle and left the kitchen.
Entering my room I changed my clothes then sat down on the bed.
I took my mom's photograph and kissed it with love. Then I drunk the cold water and lay down.
Switching off the lights, I closed my eyes. A long tear comes out from my closed eyes.

I asked him and start checking the file again but he keeps quiet. "Max if you come here to show me silent performance then get out right now. I don't have for this nonsense" I told him. "Uh..Sir, I got a call from Sullivan Company just a little ago" He told me. I stopped working and looked at him. "Sullivan Company. Oh, about the deal right? Max Mr. Sullivan is our old client so, I want to work hard on this project" I told him. "Sir, we didn't get this deal," He said nervously. Hearing this I looked at him. "Why?" I asked him. "Sir, our one employer leaked our project information to our rival company. So, Mr. Sullivan chose our rival company" He told me. I fist my hand in anger. "Who is the bastard, who is the hell, he?" I asked him in my venomous tone. "Sir, He is Alex Center. He works in our accountant departm
Elena Marshall's POV"Get up you useless bitch. Come on get up right now" Someone shouted at me. I opened my eyes and saw Lina is standing beside my bed. "What?" I asked her politely. "I want to buy a diamond pendant for myself. Here is the money. I need it before evening" She said and throws some money on my lap. "Why don't you buy it by yourself?" I asked her. "Wowww. Little bitch got her tongue I see. Listen carefully, you useless woman. I have a meeting. And you are a useless woman so I just trying to make you useful. Now don't try to use your worthless brain" Saying this she left my room. I put the money in my bag. Taking my clothes I entered my washroom and took a long bath. After getting dressed, I came out. After getting ready, I took my bag and come downstairs. I saw my family was having breakfast. I was about to go when dad called me. I went towards the dining table. "Yes, dad" I speak up. "Sit down.
