CHP 1 :- New York

Valentina's POV

*Ring Ring Ring*

I heard the blazing sound of the alarm clock making me come out from my slumber. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. I looked around my room which is actually a store room.

I sighed as I rubbed my eyes and removed a thin layer of sheet which I consider myself a mattress. I stood up and folded it neatly as much as I could and moved towards my washroom which is not so clean but what I can do I don't have products that I can use to clean it.

I stripped myself and gazed at the small mirror I had in my bathroom. My eyes roamed around my torso where the blue-purple mark is there. I gently trazed that mark but hissed when I felt the pain in it.

I sighed as I remembered how I got them.

Flashback

I was washing the dishes when I heard the door opening the house. I tensed but tried to ignore the sound that was coming in my direction.

I switched off the tap of water and tried to wash the dishes as soundly as possible but maybe I was too late.

I ceased in my movements when I felt a presence near me. I keep the dishes down in the basin and turn back while facing the ground.

I saw a pair of boots standing in front of me. I shivered when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder but I didn't dare to move or remove the cold hand.

"Hm..what is my baby daughter doing ?" I heard my father whispering near my ear. I gulped but moved my lips to answer because I knew it's better to do that or else I will end up in not so good condition or worse.

"Nothing father just washing the dishes." I praised myself for not stuttering while replying.

I heard a hummed and felt a pat on my head which I consider a appreaction but soon hissed when I felt my hair in a brutal grip.

"Didn't I told you that dishes should be done before I return home ?" My father whispered slowly but coldly.

"Y-You did father." I mumbled while trying my best not to whimper from the pain in my scalp.

"So why didn't you do that daughter hm ?" Father spiked furiously.

"I overslept a nap from the nap f-father." I lied. I didn't overslept but I fainted after a hectic school.

"Hm so now you deserve a punishment, don't you ?" He said and I nodded knowing there is no way I can escape from this so-called punishment but only to wish to get over it soon.

"Good daughter. Finish these damn dishes and come into my room." Father said leaving my hair and walking out from the kitchen.

I turned while massing my hair and got back to washing the dishes as soon as possible so I finished them. Knowing my punishment can be intense if I made my father wait for me.

After the next 5 mins I was done and wiped my wet hands on my dirty old baggy clothes which I always wore when I was at home and started to make my way to my father's room.
