The Bet.

Chapter One.

Lillie

    I awake from dreaming of a world of love and happiness. Something that I don't know of. Ever since my dad  married Camilla aka the evil queen. My life as been anything but happy.

    My mother died when I was 10 years old. I remember like it was yesterday. I came home from school and my father was on the couch crying. He sat me down and said that my mother had passed away when I was at school.

   I remember him hugging me and saying it will be only him and I against the world and everything would be okay. He and I were close up til my mother died then everything changed. He started drinking more and more and working late. He started going to clubs and bring home a different women every night. He was starting to lose his business that he worked so hard for. My uncle Richard had to take over as acting CEO.

  One night he came home with a women and I could hear noises coming from his room of the women moaning. I didn't know at the time what was going on at the time but when I think about it i cringe.

       My father was no longer my father but a man that was verbally abusive but that was only when he drank. When he was sober he was cold and distant and didn't act like he cared about me. He was standoffish and cold.

       When he met Camilla,  everything changed. He became better more loving and attentive. He was all over her. He was a man in love. That's when it all changed that's when I realized my father married the devil.  I soon find out a year later exactly what I was in for exactly 12 months later after Camilla said " I do" if only I could have stopped it if only I knew who exactly what she was going to do to me. If only I knew what I found out exactly 4 years later when i found out she had hand in murdering my mother and the person who I find myself insanely in love with was a part of it.

I think about it now and I can't help but be angry that the situation and the hurt he put me through with his lies. I can only think back to how it all it started how naive to think that someone like me would fall into his trap. If only I knew what I knew now I would have turned around and ran from a man like him. How stupid I was..it all started when I walked into that club.. If only I lied and said I was sick.
