Eliza's POV
Standing here watching them slowly lower the casket to the person that had manipulated me my whole life gave me a sense of comfort knowing that I have finally escaped death and now can be myself, but why am I scared of what is to come? Why do I feel a weird feeling I thought I would never feel again. Happiness.
" Eliza you may now come up to say a few words for your Father " the priest said with pity in his eyes. I mentally rolled my eyes
what would happen if I just walked up and strangle him with his own hands? I chuckled silently, Eliza stop being an idiot
I walked up slowly to give them a show since I didnt want them to get the idea that I didn't care about my father even though I really couldn't give two flying fucks about him
" Firstly I would like to thank everyone for coming it would've meant so much to him I don't know what to say to be honest he was the father every girl would've ever wanted."
I wished he'd died sooner I thought but of course I can't say that to these rich snobby animals.
I continued my 'heartfelt' speech
" I want you to know that even though we had our ups and downs I will forever love you father, thank you." I'd rather sit on a giant fork than love that animal I call my ' father '
I heard everyone murmur saying how they felt for me and honestly if they were to know what he has done to me they would think otherwise
"Eliza" I turned around to face a firm chest of course he had to show up "what do you want." I grumbled as I looked up
"That's not a nice way to talk to your brother." He said with an ugly smirk
"Sorry I can't treat you like a princess your highness." The sarcasm dripping hard from my tone
I hate him with every fibre in my being, he was the one person that was to meant protect me but walked out of my life and left me weak and broken with that monster that is finally dead. Dante and I used to be close but when father remarried he started to be distant and favour the other brat and payed more attention to them than me.
"Shut up your lucky that father is dead or he wouldn't be in that casket but you." He said in a low voice
I hated that I let his words get to me but I couldn't help it , after all these years he was still my brother and there was nothing I could do to take him back in time and made sure my mother swallowed that plan b.
"You really think that you can just walts in here all high and mighty thinking your words will effect me you are wrong I am the one that endured pain for years whilst you said nothing but look the other way and get treated like a fucken princess . Ever since that ugly thing you call your 'real sister' came you acted as if I was some sort of plague and you know how much that hurt knowing I was the reason that father never hated you, that he never layed a single hand on your head because all the mistakes you made I took the blame for and you know what else I took all the fucken beatings YOU were meant to get I've already been hurt enough to care about your filthy words." I made sure to look directly in his eyes to show him that I am not for anyone's bullshit anymore.
He stood there not saying anything while gasps were heard around and shocked at what was unfolding right in front of them
"Eliza....I don't know what to say" he whispers.
"Honestly don't say anything I don't care anymore nor do I want to hear your stupid apology." I walked away knowing that my hands were itching to slap his stupid face.
I went straight to my car and drove far away from there so I don't have to stay in that negative space. I was always such a carefree person to being quiet and reserved so today was really shocking at that fact I stood up for myself and I'm proud that I did that. I finally pull up to 'Maria's Diner' it is one of the best places to comes to even when you're not in the mood for people
I walked in and went to my usual table
"Eliza what are you doing here aren't you meant to be at Nathan's funeral?." Maria says with a smug face
"If you wanted to go you should've just said that madre" I say rolling my eyes.
Maria is such a beautiful soul not only did she raise me but she always put others before her and that's what makes me love her even more but just because she's nice doesn't mean she doesn't bring out her wooden spoon. The first time I met Maria was when my sorry excuse of a father kicked me out thinking I wanted to be a prostitute on the streets she bathed, clothed, and fed me and ever since then she has been a mother figure and best role model in my life.
"I want you to meet some people and before you say anything I know you aren't in the mood to be around people but they do mean a lot to me" says Maria with the cutest face she could pull
"Fine but I have to go soon I need to meet up with someone"
I honestly don't mind meeting whoever she introduces to me because I really need a distraction from everything that happened today anyways
"Eliza" I look up to see Maria with three other men behind her.
Fuck my life.
