Filthy Rich Mafia's Slave

Sold me?

Breanna’s Pov:- 

I was sitting on the floor with tears rolling in my eyes, I glanced at my aunt who was glaring at me with hatred and disgust. She kicked me with her leg hard in my gut, “Get up,” She screamed, I hissed in pain and bit my lower lip while controlling not to cry out. I pressed my palm on the floor and got up. 

“Stop crying and go clean them now,” She yelled and pushed me away. I stumbled back but composed myself and slowly walked to the sink. I wiped my tears and began cleaning. My life was a disaster. 

The day I lost my parents everything just stumbled, though they never loved me, I used to be safe there. They never hurt me this way, mom never asked me to do all these kinds of work nor she asked me to cook. I was just told to study and get good marks. 

I don’t know what I did wrong, I don’t know why they never loved me but they never hurt me. From the day my uncle brought me to his house, aunt Isabell always beat me and scolded me, making me do all the housework. I never said no to her demands since I have only them as my family now.  

“Bye Mom,” I heard Cora, I glanced back and saw her climbing down the stairs with her backpack and kissing aunt’s cheek. I envy her, I always wanted my mom to love me as Aunt loves Cora but I never received that kind of love and affection from my mother. It makes me feel so jealous of Cora. 

She glanced at me and scoffed, “Pathetic,” 

Life is tough. 

I turned away and swallowed the sorrow I had while quickly completing my work and rushed out of the kitchen. I glanced at my aunt who was reading the newspaper while sitting on the couch. I hesitantly walked to her and cleared my throat, 

“Aunty, I did everything…” I said while clutching the hem of my dress.     

“Everything?” She looked away from the newspaper and locked her eyes with mine, I nodded my head and tried my best to not stay calm. She continued to stare at me with a calculative look on her face. 

“Okay, Go now,” She said and stared back at her newspaper. I quickly rushed out of the house with my backpack and walked to the bus stop. I just turned 20 recently, but no one knows that. I never celebrated my birthday even with my parents, It was just another normal day to me. 

As I got the bus to my college and reached it, When I first came to Austin, Texas 4 years back I couldn’t even come out of the house. It took days for me to mend in and meet new people, Uncle noticed my problem and joined me in the same school Cora was going to. 

Although we don't mingle with each other, she did help me in the starting days and after that, she never bothered about me. I somehow made friends and studied hard. Working hard for my studies paid off as I got admission to the University of Texas. 

My uncle couldn’t afford the dorms and my aunt would never allow me to live on my own since she would lose a free live-in maid. She said that on my face, although I don’t mind her saying that her harsh words did hurt me all the time. I only have them and living with them always reminds me of my parents for that I tried to endure all the pain. 

I walked into the university and strolled straight in the direction of my class, on my way my eyes caught the sight of Daniel chatting and laughing with his friends. My eyes moved to Lena who clung onto his arm way too close, dying for his attention. 

Before I could look away, he turned his head and his eyes met mine. A small smirk played on his lips as he wrapped his arm around Lena’s waist and pulled her closer to him. My heart clenched inside my chest as I felt as if someone ripped my heart out.
