Stella's POVI found my way to my favourite restaurant, it was an exotic one meant for the high and mighty.It was called first class restaurant.The restaurant wasn't so far from Mr Gabriel's office, it was actually few poles away and you could walk down there if you wanted to but I dared not do that, the daughter of Mr Larry Chancy can not be seen trekking under the hot scorching sun in this city, it was totally absurd.When I was younger, my mother would drive me around town and spoil me with lots of gifts, that was the least I could remember about her.She was not always there for me, especially when the kids bully me at school and I come home hoping to talk to her about it.Most times I spent the weekends alone without my father or mother, I had to learn to endure the bullies especially when the students called me crazy.It was really heart breaking, most times I couldn't stand it, I would cry and yell at them, I was too weak to do anything be
