Suddenly, a white limousine swerved onto the driveway, and a statuesque, affluent woman emerged, her presence towering over everyone below. "Where are the Harrington sisters?" Her voice bore a hint of cruelty as she demanded their presence. Amelia mustered her courage and replied, "We are." A deep frown marred the woman's face, and she muttered, "Oh, God. That's we are, MISS ROXY!" she bellowed. Bella instinctively sought refuge behind her sister.
"Get in the car; we can't afford to waste any more time in this dump," Roxy exclaimed impatiently. Bella timidly whispered, "Can I grab something, Miss Roxy?" Her plea met with a resounding, "NO, NO, NO! WHAT DID I SAY? WE HAVE NO TIME!" Roxy shouted, causing Bella's eyes to well up with tears.
Amelia gazed at her sister, her heart heavy with the realization that they would have to live with this seemingly cruel woman. The tears welling in Bella's eyes compelled her to speak out, "DON'T YOU TALK TO MY SISTER LIKE THAT!" Her words left her mouth before she could reconsider, and instant regret washed over her.
A sly smile curved across Roxy's lips as she responded, "Feisty one, are we?" Her tone carried an unsettling amusement. "I'll straighten you out, just you wait. Now, both of you, get in the car." Horrified, Amelia scooped up her sister, who clung to her, and obediently followed Roxy's command, climbing into the car.
