Zara's POV
I woke up the next morning to the sound of stomach making it obvious that I'm hungry.
I recalled yesterday's events and I was so ashamed of what happened to me... I don't know if I'll be able to even look at dad without feeling the urge to strangle him then and there.
I went to the bathroom and while I was showering it hurt so much around the marks. God! I'll have to wear full sleeved topwear to hide them. After showering I had a look in the mirror and there were marks on my neck as well... Guess I'll have to leave my hair down today...
I went through my drawer to find something to wear and ended up wearing this:
I went downstairs and was relieved after finding that father was not home.
"Mom, yesterday I wasn't able to give you some food that I purchased on my way back because of obvious reasons... So here it is" I said handing her the bag.
"And yes, unfortunately I'm fired. So Imma go find some new job out today" I said.
"Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear that but don't worry we'll manage" She sympathetically smiled at me.
"It's not okay mom! You guys are barely able to get some food twice a day!" I said getting frustrated.
"What about you? You always make sure that we eat something but I don't even know that you ate something or not?" Ash said as he came downstairs.
"Oh don't worry, I had some food yesterday before returning home" I lied fluently.
"Anyways, what did father do to you yesterday?" He asked.
"He... uhh... he... he beat me with the b..belt" I stuttered telling them half truth.
"OH GOD!! WHAT?!"
"Yeah, but I'm alright now. No worries" I tried to smile but couldn't.
"No you're not and I also know you're fired. I heard your and mom's conversation" Ash stated.
"Ash, take this you'll be needing it for food for you and mum. And this for buying some data pack for your school lectures" I said handing him $50 and then $30.
"Okay mom and Ash I'll better go now for job hunting... I'll be back by evening tho" I said getting out of the house.
**Time skip**
"Sorry but we don't have any vacancy for you... Good luck" the owner of the cafe said.
I've been to nearly 20 different shops and restaurants but nowhere I got the job not even as a waiter.. God! What am I gonna do?
Soon I got a text from Matthew
Detective Boy 🧐🤍
