**************************************

   We were in the Middle of the 20's in England, precisely in the famous City of London:

Where streets were full of cars and the iconic double Decker buses, where the sidewalks were full of carefree people walking happily and laughing, where the new buildings marked the rise of a modernist architecture, where jazz music could be heard from day to night giving a lively and rhythmic soul to the great wen, where women organized the fanciest tea parties wearing their most beautiful gabsty dresses, where men met with each other in nightclubs and talked hours and hours about subjects going from today's weather to politics while smoking their cigars.

London, where everyone tried to enjoy life and forget the awful war days.

Yes, this was indeed the life of the Londoners, well at least for the majority but some didn't have this chance.

  In one of the roads leading to a suburban area of the city, we could see a fancy black car moving by, in the back was a young woman.

The wind was softly brushing against her face and twirling along a few wicks from her long brown hair, she seemed absent as her beautiful chocolate brown eyes looked through the window, her name was Anna, Anna Cooper.
She had a soft pale skin, her oval face matched her thin lips and her round nose, her cute rosy chubby cheeks gave her an adorable appearance yet we could still see the bags under her eye witness of her lack of sleep.

She was absorbed in looking at the splendid scenery through the vehicle's Window:

There were beautiful trees with long trunks and foliage as green as emeralds, a magnificent river that glitters under the glare of the sun, it was truly breathtaking, as she didn't have many occasions to see such beautiful places other than the garden of her dad's house that seemed now ridiculous in front of this.

She then began to recall the sudden events of the previous week .

                       *flashback*

   Anna was in her small gray-walled room which was similar to a prison cell as the only light that was coming in was from a small window and ironically all this matched her gray old dress, giving her prisoner vibes.

The room had only a nightstand , a wooden wardrobe and a bed where she was sitting and reading her favorite book.

Even if this room was like a cage, she liked to stay there as it was the only place where she could find peace and silence in this house, but this time the quietness didn't last long since the door opened abruptly, letting her stepsister, Isabella Virginia Cooper, in.

  She stood still in the entrance of the room, from there we could see why she was considered one of the most gorgeous girls in the city, she had long blond hair that was curled at the end, her skin was similar to Anna's but her light-blue eyes made it look paler, she had a diamond-shaped face with high cheek bones, her thin nose matched her small full lips.

She was dressed in a fancy blue dress whose border was decorated with white lace.

All her features in that moment would have made her look like a true-life doll if it wasn't for the rage that was deforming her fake"innocent" face.

Looking into those blue eyes, made Anna shiver and apprehend what was coming next.

  After a moment of intense silence Isabella began to walk quickly towards the brown-headed girl and unexpectedly slapped her with such a strength that made Anna fall on the floor.
