Audrey Montenegro!!! Audrey!!

I was frightened when I heard my stepmother's voice from my sleep suddenly my eyes became wide open. My stepmother had made my life a living hell since she came into my dad's mansion and not to talk about my dad who had been my worst nightmare.

" I am coming step-mom" I yelled back

I quickly stood up from my small bed and went out of the store I called my room that's where I sleep. You don't have to be surprised that my life had always been pathetic no one to talk to nor cheer me up when I was down sometimes I do wonder why I came into this world..sigh.

No one cares my dad doesn't show any iota of care towards me my life is so miserable. Hmm.

I went downstairs to meet Alexa who is my step-mom, she has always hated me for no reason particularly. She might have been my mum's rival when she was alive who knows and about my mum, her death had always been the saddest memory I don't like to remember.

"Good morning Mum" I greeted her with my head bowed down, she gave me a scornful look and slapped me on my right cheek

"you wasteful and wretched child haven't I told you to stop calling me your mom? Who would want to be a mother to a slut? You! When your mother was alive she had always been a whore who goes around stealing men's hearts and that was what led her to an early grave".

I suddenly faced her and shot her a glare she was terrified for some minutes. I don't know, whenever my mum's name is been mentioned I do feel my blood boil and I do flare up.

"You witch did you just glare at me" her voice pulled me out of my reverie.

"I know what to do to you bastard, "she said

"I want you to clean all the rooms in the mansion by yourself without the help of the maids if anybody helps her that person will be fired instantly she yelled at the maids."I sighed

Suddenly I heard someone giggling behind me I turned towards the direction though I wasn't surprised it was one of Alexa's daughters Daphne who was as evil as her mother but who cares she knows better than to mess with me, She only gets the chance at home since she's a mum's girl and there is daphnie who I can't call nice nor evil. She switches characters like that of a chameleon, sometimes she acts sweet and in the next few seconds, she's evil, I guess Daphne is in a good mood today.

The hottest guy in school Rowen is taking her on a date she's so happy about it though" dressed up as a bitch she is with all her butt and boobs exposed, her face dolled up like a real-life Barbie doll... Hahaha, I laughed out suddenly forgetting my surroundings.

"Hey, you why are you laughing and what's so funny? she said at once glaring at me.

"Your looks of course you look like an expired doll brought out from an abandoned machine that has been abandoned for some years I replied to infuriate her."

She walked past me and hissed like I was a piece of trash but she ain't lying I'm a piece of trash anyways I'm not beautiful neither do I look appealing to the eyes nor do I make heads turn so damn ugly but who cares about that, being ugly ain't a sin, but that ugly face has been saving me from a lot of people.

I'm kinda dramatic so I do take joy in scaring people off haha I laughed out loud as I remembered a crazy scenario in my head I'm surely a bad bitch.

I left their midst to start doing what my stupid stepmother told me to do I giggled as I remembered the look on Daphne's face. I have to be fast with it so I won't miss classes. I have just five rooms to clean though who is she deceiving the rooms in the mansion are always clean I will just do some brushing up to make it look like I just cleaned it and am so skipping a lot of rooms she won't know anyway and if she knows that's her problem" I laughed.

As I was heading up the stairs I bumped into my dad unknowingly, He didn't even spare me a glance nor did he give me a look filled with affection he walked past me without acknowledging my presence. I folded my hands till my knuckles turned white and walked away with a deep frown on my face.

I walked into Daphnie's room without knocking I was brought out of my reverie when I heard someone yelling I glanced towards the direction where the voice came from it was from Daphnie she was sitting at the front of the dressing mirror with a brush in her hand guess she was brushing her hair.

"Can't you knock before coming in or have your hands been gotten rid of?" she shouted at me in one breath I stared blankly at her without replying to her words.

" Hey, Daphnie I'm the one in charge of cleaning the rooms in the mansion today I paused... waiting for her to reply.

"Keep your greetings to yourself and who cares if you are the one on duty today "she hissed and walked out on me.

I rolled my eyes mentally ignoring her words. She left me in her room I walked in fully and was welcomed by the sweet smell of strawberry-scented air freshener that was sprayed in her room. My mouth was agape when I saw how big her room was it screamed of luxury it was painted in pink with a white pattern used as a design on the wall her bed stood elegantly in the middle of the room, laid on it a white bed sheet and a pink duvet which was neatly spread everything looked so good.

I laid down on the bed which was so soft and comfy compared to mine which was small and hard as a rock "I moaned out softly and felt my aching muscles relaxing.

I sprang up when I heard the door suddenly closed and footsteps approaching me. I took a brush and pretended like I was sweeping, I stopped what I was doing when I saw a pair of legs stopped at my front I slowly traced it up to the face of the unfamiliar figure I was shocked to the core, My brain stopped functioning for some minutes, I was in a daze.

How can someone look so handsome, cute, flawless, and at the same time have a good physique it looks too good to be true. I stared for a few minutes before regaining consciousness and finally finding my voice.

"Who are you? how did you get here ?" I asked.

He stared at me blankly and chuckled the sound was like a rhythm to my ears surprisingly I found it soothing and comforting, "This feeling? I asked myself mentally.

His voice jolted me out of my thoughts "I don't need to walk through a door to get wherever I want perhaps I found myself here".. Ohh I muttered

"I'm Loraine" he introduced himself, and I guess

"you are Audrey".His voice sounds so soothing and flirty. Gross, I thought to myself.

"Wait, how did he know my name?" I yelled at him

" I read through your thoughts" He replied like he knew what I wanted to ask him.

"You read through my thoughts?" I questioned him.

He ignored my question, I muttered an Ohh.

"Never knew you would be talkative please don't ask any more questions" He lashed out at me.

I stared at him dumbly...

what is he saying? l asked myself.

"We will meet soon," he said.

He didn't give me any room to ask him more questions he vanished into thin air before my bare eyes. I was startled and dumbfounded my mouth was agape it felt like I was hallucinating.

I pinched myself hard to confirm and tried to connect the missing parts to what just happened.

Have never come across any human that has such an ability I thought aloud.

I stood up on my feet packed the equipment I brought in with me, and ran out of the room.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I got out...

" Loraine" I muttered his name under my breath, making sure I remembered his name.
