From the outside, everything is perfect. perfect parents, perfect children, perfect family. but it's not as perfect when you see it from the inside.
Alesia is the eldest daughter of the Viotto family but what happens when she is forced to try and k...
I woke up the next morning due to movement towards the end of my bed. I groggily open my eyes and sit up The first thing I notice are the small figures of Beau and Briar, jumping on my bed chanting "Wake up". Without a second thought, I hurry and grab Briar, dragging her into bed with me as her laughter fills the room while she kicks and claws at my arms in a poor attempt to escape my grasp. A mere second passes before Beau is on top of me, trying to fight me off of our sister, grinning from ear to ear. The fun was cut short as a maid walked in and shoo'd my siblings away. "Now, now, my little lady and Lord, leave Lady Alessia alone. She has to get ready, and you do too! Now go and get dressed!" She scolds as the two run out of the room giggling all the way down the hall and into their respective bedrooms. I smile as I get up as the maid grabs my dress and helps me into it.

I paired it with some blue heels and a necklace as well as a small light blue hat to keep my hair in place in the small bun it was set into. "All done, my lady. You'd best get down there before you anger your Mother" she says the exits the room. I check myself over in the mirror one more time before leaving the room myself and walking down the large stairs of the manor. At the bottom I see my mother and father but Beau and Briar nowhere to be seen. I stand beside Mother as she speaks to our guests who have already arrived. "And this is our daughter, Alessia" She announces "Well arent you just dashing!" The woman says. She looks to be in her mid-thirties, dirty blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes.
Out of the corner of my eye I notice my mother scowling at her. "Dear, why don't you go get your siblings" Mother turns to me. I swiftly nod my head and hurry back up the steps to the twins bedrooms. "You two, Come down here this instant! It isn't kind to keep guests waiting." I demand, Briar opens the door, her hat all messy and untied. Beau runs from behind her, his suit wasn't buttoned in the slightest. "Goodness, Mother would scream if she saw you this way!" I whisper before adjusting Briars had and helping Beau with his suit jacket. After about 2 or 3 minutes we are all set as I take both of the children's hands and calmly walk downstairs once more. "Here they are!" I call, all eyes on us. "And these are our twins! Beau and Briar." My father says, glancing towards the woman who nods at him. "Now, children. This is Mr. and Mrs. Alden and they will be staying with us for the time being!" My father smiles brightly "Yes father" me and the twins say at the same time. "Oh yes, And this is our daughter, Eliza! She's around your age, Alessia." Mrs. Alden announces. How does she know my name? I think to myself as Eliza steps up and curtseys towards us. "It's a pleasure to meet you" Eliza says "The pleasures all mine" I reply. "Alessia, why don't you show Eliza to her bedroom. Take the twins too" Mother says I'm her usual cold tone. She wasn't happy.
I decide it's best to just get out of there as quickly as possible so I gather up the twins and Eliza to walk her to her bedroom. We walk up the steps and turn into the hallway where my parents room is. My parents hallway also has all of the guest bedrooms because those rooms are the biggest and have the most expensive items within them. Me, Beau and Briars rooms are at the opposite end of the house. "Here you are." I open the door to reveal the luxury room as Eliza steps in and takes a look around. "It's beautiful, thank you both" she smiles at us "We will leave you to get settled, if you need anything, just ring the bell and the maids will come right up!" I say. She agrees as I shut the door. "Alessia, can we play in the garden!" Briar asks, tugging on the skirt of my dress. I nod as we make our way down the stairs as I hear arguing from another room. "You two keep going alright, I'll be there in a minute!" I say as the two keep running, unaware I even stopped. Once my siblings where out of sight I walk over to the door, pressing my ear to it.
"How could you, George, i sacrifice everything for this family and this is how you treat me! You dirty lying bitch!" I hear my mother yell.
"You say that as if you have ever sacrificed anything! I actually work to give our children a good life as you are out, giving yourself away to other married men while I'm here trying ever so hard to keep this family together!" Father yells back
"Keep this family togethor? By cheating on me with another married lady? I don't know what you have taken recently but it seems it's making you lose common sense! I want a divorce. I've never loved you nor these children I'm forced to call mine!"
I listen no more as tears filled my eyes. Mother never loved us.. How could I have been so stupid, of course she didn't. She'd make up any excuse to get out of being with us. Why didn't I see this sooner.
I quickly wipe my tears as I exit the main hall and begin out into the garden where beau and Briar where still playing. "Alessia! Beau's it!" Briar says, running as Beau gets close to her
