Amelia
We were the perfect Dominican family. My mom, dad, sister and I.
Always in the newspaper, everyone wanted to tune in and hear about my family's successes.
You see, my dad was a good businessman.
Always making the best deals in and out of the country.
He wasn't into small talk.
Trade and money were his two main things.
We had a nice beach house just off the side of one of the many beautiful beaches D.R had to offer.
I remember my sister and I would always walk along the shore, collecting the biggest shimmering rocks we could find.
Her name was Laura. Young, sweet, beautiful Laura.
She was my twin sister. 'The better half', anyone would easily say.
But, just as soon as our family received all that fame, was as soon as it was demolished.
All because of an old man I had to call by the name of 'father'.

"Mija, wake up." Someone shook me out of my sweet money-filled dreams.
"But papi, it's summer!" I whined.
"It's 'bring your little princesa to work' day." My eyes lit up and I quickly got up from bed.
"Okay papi, I'll be right down!" Jumping out of bed, my dad closed the door and I got changed into the one of the nicest outfits I had.
I wore dress shoes, denim jeans, a classic grey and hot pink shirt, with a glittery jacket over it.
I put my pinkest lip stick I had on and then threw on some sunglasses.
"I would never forget my favorite Sahara handbag." I gave it a peck and rushed downstairs.
"Hola, Amelia. How did you sleep?" My mom made pancakes as she looked back and gave me one of her tender smiles.
"Great, especially when I heard I'm going to go with papi to work today!"
"Amelia, you look fantastic, overachieved-model fantastic." Laura came into the kitchen, we both giggled and posed in our killer 11 year old outfits.
"C'mon fashionistas, time to go." Dad grabbed his work bag and black coat.

"Chelsea, come live with me!" Laura said as we played with our expensive Barbie dolls, careful not to move them too much.
"Samuel, let's talk, shall we?" My dad nodded with a confused look on his face.
The big metal door closed, "Should we listen?" Laura had a timid look on her tan face.
I nodded without saying a word and we rushed to the door.
"-Look, I don't know what you are talking about-" My father said.
