Episode 01

New York City

Rissa Williams wipe the sweat falling from her face, down to her chest, It has been 4 hours working non-stop,  even though she has become used to it,  she is getting freaked out now.

Her step-sister Claudia walked down the stairs wearing a bum shorts, with her head's phone on, she intentionally poured some water on the floor to make Rissa suffer more.

"Yuck,  can't you do anything right? are you blind, dint you see me coming." She yelled

"Oh, I understand, you poured the water so I will slip and fall right?" Claudia shouted dragging Rissa's hair, 

"Let me go, I didn't do anything of such, you planned everything," Rissa replied, 

"What's going on here?" Mr Williams (Rissa's dad) and his wife (her step mum) Mrs Jenny asked coming out from their rooms.

"Mum, Dad, this cruel girl poured water so I will slip and fall, and when I talked to her calmly about why she did that, she insulted me badly." Claudia lied, 

"Bastard, I know you can do worst more than this. I did not expect from a witch like you? All because of you, I lost my wife, you are such bad luck." Mr Williams shouted

Tears fell  from Rissa's eyes while Claudia Smirked

"Dad, I dint kill mum, you knew it, mum died while giving birth to me, is that also my fault? why are you blaming everything on me?" Rissa cried, 

"So you even have the nerves to speak back at me huh?  if only your mum listen to me and abort your useless pregnancy when you were still in the womb, then maybe she will have been alive today." Mr Williams ranted, 

Rissa falls on her knees and cried her eyes out, 

"Make sure you finish everything, cook and wash Claudia's cloth,  mind you,  don't use any Washing machine" Mrs Jenny ordered and they all Left, 

"God, why is my life so useless? Why does mum have to leave me in this cruel bloody world? Why is dad, my father?  Why can't he love me even if it is little?" Rissa asked several questions to herself and cried, 

After crying for some minute, She got up and wiped her tears, She continued mopping the floor

⬜THE BROWNS PARADISE

The maids were seen walking around the gigantic mansion which people named the BROWN PARADISE,  because of how big,  beautiful and peaceful it looks from the outside, 

But in the real world, peace is far away from them, 

"Get back here woman, am not yet done with you." Mr Brown shouted at his wife, 

"What do you have to say to me, or do you think am scared of you, there is nothing to be scared of in.  Womanizer like you, and an old irresponsible man like you" Mrs Elizabeth replied

He couldn't control his anger. A hot slap landed on Mrs. Elizabeth face.  "don't get on my nerves." Mr Brown shouted pinning her to the wall, 

"Dad, mum, will you guys stop this childish behavior?"  Clifford cut in.

Clifford is a guy born into a wealthy family, everyone thought been rich is all, but all Clifford ask for every day is a peaceful home even if it takes all the wealth. 

"I will not keep shut not until this old cargo you call your dad decided to do the needful, you are not getting married and that's all." Mrs Elizabeth said

"The disadvantage of marrying an poor wife is he is not getting any younger, he needs a woman in his life, and probably a wiser woman, not your type." Mr Williams replied

Clifford sighed and hold his head in frustration, 

"You always want me to get married, for what? what, tell me so that my wife and I will keep on fighting each other every day like you both. Am not getting married and no one can force me to." Clifford said and set to leave, 

"Remember this, if you don't want to get married, then fine and good, but am taking everything away from you, my companies and I will freeze your account,  don't think of this as a joke, I mean my words cliff " Mr Williams stressed the words and get out of the room leaving Clifford and his. mum, 

Cliff stared at his mum one more time and get out of the room too, 

He immediately went to the bar drinking himself to stupor, 

"My life doesn't even matter." He murmured as he drink another bottle of Alcohol

Rissa was done with the house chores minutes ago, she relaxed on one of the couches waiting to ask for permission from her dad to visit the national library in new York, 

Not long after, Mr Williams and his wife came downstairs, Uhmm dad, Rissa paused bowing her head down, 

"If you are asking me for money then am not giving you." Mr Williams replied without listening to her.

"No, is not a money problem,  please am asking for your permission to visit the national library." Rissa pleaded, 

"National library or national club, or you think we don't know how much you love boys and anything inside trouser?" Mrs Jenny half yelled, 

"Mum, I swear, I just want to go to the library, it has been a long I went to school and I don't want to forget what I have been taught," Rissa said

"Oh wow, so you are now trying to tell us that I failed as your supposed dad,  I won't send you to school, I had known you are a hypocrite. You are not going anywhere and that's final,  besides you haven't swept Claudia's room." Mr Williams replied

"Dad, what have I ever done wrong to you, why do you hate me so much, Why am I not important to you, I have been trying my best to be the perfect daughter, to make you have a soft spot for me, but all in vain? why dad why?" Rissa break down in tears, 

"How dare you talk to me like this?" Mr Williams shouted and gave her a sound slap on her cheek making her  to fall all over her face, 

He drag her hair, and gave her another slap, 

"Calling you my daughter is the worst regret am having every day, get out of my sight," Mr Williams shouted and trow her down making her to head her head on the couch, 

"Daddy,  mummy, am going out," Claudia called coming out of her room dressed in a black crop top and a red bum shorts, she let her hair down with red seductive lips stick, she walked to them swaying her butts from left to right, 

"Wow, you look super gorgeous hunnie," Mr Williams said and peak her forehead, 

"How I wish, I can be like Claudia, so sad, so he can love me, as I am his biological daughter, while she is just a stepdaughter, but he valued her more than anything, how I wish, I can be the one that he will choose even if it's for a day," Rissa prayed as she watched and admire her dad and Claudia, 

"Where are you off to baby", Mrs Jenny asked, "Actually my boy best friend, you understand, He is having a birthday party and I have to be there," Claudia replied
