I clenched my lip in frustration. How could this happen? The elevator came to an abrupt halt, and I was stuck with a bunch of strangers.
"Daddy, she has such pretty hair," a little voice piped up, and I pretended not to notice that it was directed at me. Of course, it was about me; there was no one else here but us, and this situation was becoming increasingly aggravating.
"Yes, sweetheart, she does," her father responded in a deep, seductive tone that sent shivers down my spine. But I didn't care about his voice; I just wanted out of this predicament.
"Say 'thank you,'" one of the twins chimed in, snapping me out of my thoughts. They all bore a striking resemblance to their handsome father. I blushed with embarrassment, nervously bit my lip, and discreetly clenched my fist, trying to keep my anger in check
"Yeah, say thank you. Daddy says we should always be grateful when someone compliments us," the other identical twin chimed in supportively.
I swallowed hard, rolled my eyes, forced a fake smile, and turned toward the little girl nestled in her dad's strong arms. "Thank you," I muttered and then looked at the twins with the same strained smile. "Satisfied?"

Meet Olivia Harrison - beautiful, wealthy, and elegant, the embodiment of perfection, or so everyone thinks. People worship her for her flawless facade and impressive achievements, but she knows she's far from perfect. Deep within her heart, she harbors ugly secrets that she'd rather keep hidden. With Christmas approaching, there's only one thing she wishes for, something that money can never buy, according to her: a child and a family of her own. She's convinced it will never happen.
However, fate has a peculiar way of granting wishes. As she becomes trapped in an elevator with a family, she's about to discover that her wish is closer than she ever imagined.
At lightning speed I threw open the covers of the bed , checking for any trace of missing clothing ; Every ounce of my fiber, of my being was yelling at me to get out of here ,to run as fast as I could and never look back.
I guess in a way , it serves me right for being here again.
I was weak.
I was too weak to even stand.
Watching all the eyes in the room fall on me and my shaking hand , I almost hesitated.
But I didn't think. And that's the problem.

Cold.

Not one . But TWO ! None of which she had a say in what so ever .
But they say that two is better than one right?
