Revenge In Silence

Chapter 1: FLASHBACK

AGATHA

My dad, mom, and I were having a great time at the park. Playing in the swing, making sand castles, playing chase and a lot more. Our family has became a role model of all the families in the world. My dad is the Owner of a lot of high ends restaurants and 7 stars hotel in LA. I have no brothers or sisters since I'm the only child of the family.

Laughter and giggles are the only thing that I could hear from my parents. Shouting at me saying I should be careful because I might fall and  hit my head, and that would be dangerous but I'm a kid, I'm 8 years old and I didn't listen to them but thankfully nothing happened to me.

My family have been a role model ever since I was born. My father would shower me and mom with gifts while my mom would prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us. A lot of families were jealous of ours because they never seen our family in a conflict situation. I could say that myself because I've been living with them for 8 years. How wouldn't I know? We are a role model, indeed.

Past few weeks later, I was in my room playing when I heard loud noises coming from down stairs. I hurried to go down just to see my parents shouting at each other. I was terrified and confused because this is the first time that this ever happened. Why are they shouting. As I head towards them, they saw me and instantly stopped shouting. My dad looked away caressing the back of his head while my mom went to me and hugged me. Not realizing the tears that had fallen down my cheeks. My parents are fighting and I have no idea what the actual reason.

"Honey, why don't you go back to your room hmm? Mommy will be there in a minute, okay baby? " my mom said in a calm voice with tears in her eyes. I couldn't just leave her there. What if dad hurt her? No. He couldn't do that.

"Why are you fighting, mom? " I ask sobbing with a lot of tears falling on my cheeks. There's no way that this is happening. My mom didn't answer but instead she signaled my nanny Amara to take me with her. I don't want to leave but my nanny carried me to go upstairs. I'm crying so loud but mom didn't care. She just went there and argue with dad again. Why is this happening? This isn't my family.

.....

The fight keeps going until it reached into moths. I went to my mother's room to find her crying while packing her things. Is she leaving? Why would mom leave me? I suddenly approached her and give her a tight hug.

"Mom, you're not leaving me, right? Mommy don't go, please, mommy" I said begging and trying my best to convince her but it didn't work.

"Mom need to leave, Agatha. Mommy needs to go on a business trip so that I could afford to take you away from this hell, okay? " it sounded convincing so I just nodded and agreed and just gave her a very tight hug before I went to my room.

.......

My jaw dropped when I heard the news the next morning. I feel like I could faint anytime soon. My body shivers and I could barely stand because of it. My dad looked so pale while sitting on the Living area and not making a single move. His drooling. Tears falling down his cheeks, holding moms photo. When I heard the news I hurried down to fine dad but here he is. I'm full of rage and anger. I wanted to slap but I can't. He's my dad. And he's the only one that I have left. But if he didn't fight with mom. Mother wouldn't have to leave for business trip.

My mom had a car accident at the bridge. The police said that the brakes were cut off and maybe mom Panicked so he keep on turning the wheel and it made her car crash at one of the cars in Golden Bridge of California. I felt so empty inside me and  longing for her presence. How could I met my mom leave? I should have stopped when I got the chance but I didn't.

At mom's funeral, my dad bought a girl with him. Wearing black trousers and a black top with a shade. She's holding my daddy's arm so tight as if she's glued into him. She slowly approaches me and took her glasses off. Her eyes are swelling because of crying and  she's hiding it with her shades.

"Hello Agatha, I'm your mother's friend. We've been friends since childhood and I can't accept the fact that she died" she said sadly and tears wear actually falling down her cheeks. I felt bad for her because I know how it felt. It felt as if something is squeezing your heart, slowly breaking it into pieces  and you can't help it but cry. My eyes had become swollen too after I cried every night. I want my mom. I missed her, her hugs, her bedtime story, her laughter and everything about her. I just wished she'd be here. She actually never made me cry but this time, she's the reason why I'm crying this hard. I just want to feel her embrace again.

.....

Months after the funeral my dad got engaged to my mom's friend and eventually got married. I don't know how it happened but, I didn't him to marry her. She's my mom's friend. Is my dad cheating? Is that why they fight? No. It's not the reason. It's probably business.

I gaslighted myself and hoping that I was wrong but no. I was right.

"Now that I'm your father's wife, you must listen to me and obey like I'm your own mother Samantha. Cuz once I give birth to this child" she paused looking and holding her bump. I swear I want to kick his tummy. But my mom never taught me that. It would be dangerous to the baby. The baby inside doesn't have to do anything about her mother's evilness.
"I'm going to have everything, and it will leave you nothing, Agatha. NOTHING!"
She said laughing sarcastically. She's evil, I shouldn't have believed her but she deceived me with her eyes. It's green like a grass but I didn't know it was a poison.

Not long after the wedding, I got a news from my nanny that my dad was hit by a car on his way back to the house. This time I really made to the moment where people faint. I'm too young to experience this kind of thing. An 8 years old girl experiencing this moment is very traumatizing. How could this happen to me!? No. He must stay alive. But my nanny said that he's not breathing anymore due to heart attack and too much blood loss. I'm breaking, really breaking at this moment. I don't know what to do anymore. I need justice for them.

My stpemother steps put of the room and gave me a successful gave. She had accompanied by a random guy that I had never seen before. They were laughing and mumbling. She then bended over and tells that this is what she meant when she said that she will have everything for herself. The guy the carries me to the car and bought me to an abandoned place were only few people knows about. She throws me out the car and even got hand under the wheels of thecar that caused me pain for so long. From that then on my sight went blank and dark. I lost consciousness.
