Side to Side

Chapter one : The Purpose of Life

Life is a place where we should live happily or at least this is what is told to Lia every single day. For those who don't know her, Lia Frington is a girl of magical beauty. She was born as the third princess of a wealthy and powerful family that made her what she is now "a cold hearted villainess"
Well, don't get me wrong! Her family is perfect one. She has older brother and sister who loved her truly and parents who exaggerate in protecting her. She once had many friends who loved her and potected her as well. 
Rose, Carl and Harry... They were her best friends.
They met at the first time when she was 15. Carl and the others were around 17 .While she was so naive and calm, boys bullied her continuously but Carl -who was her favorite- defended her and took her in. He was the one who established Lia's friendship with Rose and Harry and he also was the one to be always by her side for better or worse.
When Lia turned 17  Carl kept asking her for an amount of money which she could not secure. When she finally mastered the courage to say no he kidnapped her and took her to an abandoned building where he continuously beaten her and left her with no food. The sweet Lia begged him to let her go, she tried endlessly to remind him of their good times together but he cruelly declared that he never liked her "you spoiled brat, did you really believe that someone like you will ever be loved? Every one sees you as money you were never our friend you are just a pray"
"Never your friend! Do you mean that Rose and Harry know about this" She bitterly asked
Carl looked at her with a smirk on his face and said "you really believed it all didn't you you stupid nothing" And he continued to beat her as if he had some kind of  grudge against her for life.
Mean while her older brother managed to capture Rose who after being investigated with had confessed her crimes and revealed the place of Lia and Carl
Lia was saved by her older brother Sal and  was latter informed that the three of them was working together.
Poor girl couldn't talk for couple months out of surprise. After she finally got out of the silent phase she turned to a whole new person who was cold, and emotionless.
To escape the misfortune, Lia has created a range of goals which she determined to achieve.In the process of becoming the kind of woman she wanted she used her family's power and refused any external help.
When reached her 25 years old, Lia was not a bad girl she was only a strong one who could not trust anyone. People however feared her, they never looked her in the face nor spoke to her. Her brothers kept lecturing her about how she -as a woman- should be social and smile more often.
Instead of listening to them Lia was more to be angry with them for forgetting the things she have been through. She as well wanted to show her nice heart to people but there was something stopping her, something she couldn't describe, an Internal voice telling her she must run away everytime she was approached by anyone.
