Chapter 1 - Life is not a bed of roses , for me.

"Cennet" I heard my nanny calling and I stood up to meet her,she said "your uncle is back "my heart skipped ,he went for a business trip and home without him was just perfect. I just knodded and she left. I began to prepare for bed cause seeing him now might be a very big mistake .

I was about climbing my bed when I heard his hoarse voice from downstairs,I tipped toed to the long staircase and bent over,trying to eavesdrop on his conversation with my nanny "where is Cennet and don't tell me she is asleep "

"am sorry sir but she is "

he cursed under his breath "what the hell do mean by that,she is always asleep "

"she said she has to sleep early to study at night "

He didn't seem satisfied but he accepted it. I went back to my room and carefully closed the door,I was so thankful to my nanny for her help,if not for her I wonder what the hell he has installed for me ,she always covers up for me because she knows the kind of deciteful man I call my so called uncle.

My life is the perfect definition of do not judge a book by its cover. My uncle,Mr Lucas is a very wealthy man,he has so many companies ,he has the latest cars and lots of bodyguards I can't even count anymore. I might be wearing the latest brand of clothes and shoes but believe me behind that is a painful and dark secret no one knows except nanny,even I to don't know all of it but the ones I know,I must keep them hidden or I wouldn't live for another second.

You see,my uncle is pathetic lier. He made me believe he was a good person with good intentions but not until I found out his true colors.My is a worldwide famous model who hates me with everything in her,when she gave birth to me,she wished she stabbed a knife down my tender throat,I know that cause she always tells me to my face. I don't know why she hates me ,tried everything in my power to make her love me but nothing works,she doesn't take my needs seriously ,no one even knew she was my mother.

When I was little,other kids laughed and mocked me cause my mom was never there,I had no friends and was just a loner who gets bullied easily.She always makes me hide when ever she has guests and all this actually really affected me mentally . I developed a phobia of being around people since I always lived in the shadows.

My Mom is the top model,popular in so many countries I can't even count but no one knows she is my mother,she treats me like shit , she has this killer shape that leaves every one dumbfounded when she passes by. About how she even got pregnant with me is still a mistery I can't solve till now but if there's one thing I am sure of is that if abortion was an option without later consequences,she would have done it without thinking twice.

And my phobia wasn't even helping matters,I was also contributing to the bad treatment I was receiving in school,every one calls me a weirdo ,I actually began to believe that since my own mother thinks am even more than weird. But my nanny,Lily,thought otherwise,she secretly advised me not to believe their words and just be who I want to be,she is like a God sent ,She wan always there for me,even till now,my life would have been more than the disaster it already is without her.

Little by little I improved in my appearance and performance both socially and educationally.I dressed better and worked on my phobia around people. This was all thanks to my nanny,how I so much wished she is my mom and not that damn witch I am cursed with as a mother.

Everything changed when my mom brought a man and introduced him as my uncle,but believe me they look nothing alike.he looked stunned at me and said "she looks just like you "my mom took that as an insult and was irritated by it. She told me I will be living with him now in Newyork ,far away from her,she looked happy. I was happy too but not totally,I wanted my mom to love me and not push me away .The only advantage I have was her allowing my nanny to come along with me but not after saying she wants nothing of mine to remain in her house.

I flew to Newyork with my uncle few weeks later and he welcomed me with open arms but me not knowing he was like a devil welcoming me into hell. My early stay with him was wonderful but good things don't last long for me.I found out who he really is,he is the king of drug dealers and also a trafficker but uses the fame of his high ranked companies to hide his true nature.The worst of it all is that he is a drunk who always tries to force his self on me , even at my tender age ,I always narrowly escaped but without bruises and injuries. Wether sane or not,he physically violates me ,even though he hasn't successfully gotten his way with me I know it's just a matter of time before he does. The only person that keeps me going is my nanny and my best friend Bella ,who i often refer to as Bel, I would have been dead a million times without them.

My mom is the diva of the modeling world with an hour glass shape and a beautiful angelic face that no one can resist.I took after her but she often calls me ugly and sometimes I find myself believing her words

Bel is an amazing person who helps me in college when ever I get bullied that's how we even become friends.

But apart from the bad side of my life, there is something that is quit interesting like the five dominating 'Divos' and to my advantage they are schooling in the same school with me,Dellen's High,they are popular dancers and singers that are dominating both high school and the social media at large.

They have gotten so many contracts to perform in for many countries and music companies,but presently they have their own named THE DIVOs

Everyone is crazy about them,they are true perfection,their unique skills of dancing

singing and most of all their cute unresistable faces. They are damn cute and always cause a horricain where ever they go ,their names are Lucan,Jason,Liam,Scott,and finally Xander,the one that can make girls faint at the site of him ,he is damn cute.

They are not just known for their cute faces and unique talents but also because of their unbreakable friendship.

Lately I feel like Xander is changing, like he is becoming isolated and a bit cold, I feel his cold cause we cross path once in an unfriendly manner and he didn't seem pleased.

DAWN...

I woke up and began to prepare for school and also trying very hard not to catch up with my uncle. I went downstairs for breakfast, nanny prepared toasted bread and egg along with tea. I was still eating when he came downstairs, I greeted him and continued my breakfast

He sat down on the seat next to me,not his usual position and then he leaned very close to me and whispered into my ear "I hope you still remember our deal" I froze and refused to talk avoiding eye contact. I could see his evil smirk from side , he took my hand and placed it on the table and held it firmly after which he took my tea cup and began to empty the hot steaming content on my hand, I screamed and tried to pull away but his grip was too strong, I began to plead , it felt like my flesh was ripping apart, tears streamed down my eyes, he emptied it and made attempt to carry another one when I shouted in pain " please!.."a satisfied smile appeared on his lips and he gazed at me " now, do you remember our deal"

" yes yes I do "

"Good ,now do your self a favor and keep to it our you will be the only pleading later" he replied with a fake smile and let go of my hand. I couldn't feel my hand anymore, the pain was just too agonizing.

I quickly grabbed my school bag with the other hand and ran to the kitchen, my hand was as if it was set ablaze, I turned the tap on and placed my hand under the running water, I closed my eyes to feel the water washing down the hot sensation when I suddenly felt a hand on my burnt hand, I opened my eyes and saw my nanny

She removed my hand and kept ice on it after which she wiped it clean and gently applied an ointment to it, to ease the pain and clear the burn,probably…..hmmm what a way to start my day,well I have experienced worst.
