Different Strokes for Different Folks

Prologue

Destiny Charles in the photo

Okay here is where I introduce myself, am Destiny Charles and am a typical 24 year old who works at a strip club. Yes, I work at a strip club and I know you guys are already judging me but am not a stripper, am just a bartender who is just trying to take care of herself.

I go to The Bishop University in a town called Georgetown and am majoring in Literature. I live by myself, and I have to pay all the bills and my school fee so that's why I have that job. My best friend is Mahalia Clarkson and she is my next door neighbour. We've been best friends since I came to live here.

I lived in a little village but I moved out as soon as I became 18 because my mom died and my dad got remarried to a devil... ah I meant a woman which made my life a living hell. I almost felt like Cinderella but just without the two sisters and just a brother who literally was a horrible person.

My dad was a business man who was never home and was always on business trips but when he was home I tried to tell him the bad things they did to me, but the bastard didn't even believe me so I did what was best, I moved out of the place the second I was of aged to live by myself.

It all started off with me having to do everything in the house and then it came to them beating me for every little thing I did. Yes they abused me if I came home one minute late, if I didn't do the things they said to do or even wash their clothes.

I became so tired and I started lying and saying that I had assignments just to be out of the house. At nights I cried myself to sleep and in the morning I got up earlier before everyone else just to get away. My dad went ballistic when I left but I explained to him that I couldn't live like that again and he understood so now I am carefree and away from those devils.

Now I've moved on and my dad and I keep in touch probably every time he had a spare moment.
