Chapter 1: MYSTER OF THE PAST

Cleo's Pov.

I've been laying down in the grass surrounded with this colorful flowers for almost an hour now, I just can't resist it the temperature is average and soothing, the sun is shining brightly but not to the point that It could burn your skin plus the very clear blue sky with the birds cheerfully singing. A perfect scenery for a peaceful world like this if only, just only I could live here forever.

"Cleo! WAKE UP!! You ungrateful child stop dreaming and focus! do the chores and clean the mess the sun is about to came out we need our breakfast better hurry up if you do not want to taste my wrath "

The booming sound of Auntie Silya brings me back into reality, my reality I badly want to escape.

I quickly got up on my bed and just wash my face also pull my hair into a high and tight messy bun change into this very worn out clothes but for me the very best pair of clothes I got on my closet a brown t-shirt and a black jeans and do my daily errands.

First things, first my name is Desire Cleo Tuazon and I am an orphan. Yes you read it right I'm an orphan I don't have any parents neither any relatives. Auntie Silya is not even counted in the reason that she is not my real Aunt, based on her story and also based on what I can remember I've been here in this exact house so long that I can't even remember. The moment that Auntie Silya and her family bought this house 10 years ago I am here .. Living alone in this huge house. The 6 years old me lives her completely parentless without a single person guiding and could take a good care of her, I'm 16 years old now by the way. And also adding to that mystery I can't even remember how on earth I'm here, who brings me here, how did I survived without a single person by my side on that past few years. Let's set aside my memories of Auntie Silya and her family moves in here, I can't remember any memories before that day.

Just the 6 years old me standing on the hallway and looking at the huge double door as it slowly open and there that very day the family of Auntie Silya barge in. That scene is the only memory I could dig inside my head the other day of that none as in I can't even come up any memories aside that day November 11th. November 10th, 9th, 8th and the rest I dont have any memories of that days even my 5 years old self 4, and 3 none a fuggy memory is just what I could came up.

That very day also the moment Auntie Silya sees me inside their newly bought house, I've been called a thief and many names they ask me so many question on how earth I'm inside on that house when in fact that house is been abandoned decades ago, who is my parents so much questions that I myself don't also know the answers. After that when at last they are tired of asking question to the poor kid that don't even herself knows the answer they savagely threw me outside. Out of their house an innocent child alone under the freezing night sky, I stayed there until morning and afternoon crying and sobbing when at last Auntie Silya out of pity I guess came out of the house and fetch me.

I was very happy back then on the thought that they are so kind and I could at least have a family but my innocent mind is very wrong cause the moment I step inside the house again was the start of my life of pure living hell. They give me home yes, when they asked me my name which I surprisingly know they give me a full name with the surname of their farthest relative and that is the Tuazon I now carry and out of that help. Which is they complete me as a person as Margaret said one of the daughter of Auntie Silya, giving me shelter in the basement to be my room, food all for free starting that day I will served them as long as I lived under their roof. They mistreat me, treat me like a rag , a trash, a dog, an animal and not as a person they abused me I work late and clean this entire huge mansion until I drop out of exhaustion. They starved me and gives me multiple of physical punishment if I just forgot even a single work I need to do they even trapped me inside my room for almost 2 days without any water or food just because of the broken vase well in fact her own daughter Margaret is truly the one to be blame. My life in this house is a pure hell and I can't really wait to get out of here hopefully....
