OLIVIA

 Laying on her bed, Amelia could not sleep so she just kept on tossing round the bed. "Dad, dad why would mom make mention of him,I've never heard her talk about him since the time she left me with grandma".

Taking a deep breath,

 "Well whatever it is, I will find out later but right now, I need to sleep, I'm exhausted". Amelia said and turned off the lamp and slept.

  FLASHBACK (10 years ago)

"Mom please don't go,don't go,don't leave me here alone. Don't leave me the same way dad left me, mom please,take me with you, I promise to be a little princess, I won't cause any trouble, please mom take me with you". A little girl with silver hair and sapphire and silver eyes cried as she clinged to her mother's leg refusing to let go of her.

  "Let go of me you devil, you are the reason your dad left us,you caused all this, you caused our separation" Amelia's mom, Olivia said.

 She squatted down so she and Amelia were at the same height.

   "You Amelia, you caused this, you can never be happy in your life, all you will ever get is sadness, pain and I CURSE YOU, all you will ever get in your life is PAIN, cause all you ever gave me is PAIN. So get it inside your brain, imprint it there,YOU WILL NEVER EVER IN THIS LIFE, EVEN IN SEVEN MORE LIVES BE HAPPY". Olivia said while shaking her daughter Amelia vigorously.

  "So, get your cursed hands away from me". Olivia said and pushed Amelia away so badly that she hit her head on the wall and blood started gushing out of it, despite the pain Amelia tried to walk but she couldn't.

Looking up she saw her mother's retreating figure,

 "Mom, please don't leave, l did nothing, l did not do anything". Little Amelia cried out as she watched her mother's retreating figure. FLASHBACK ENDS.

"No, no, please no no mom, I did nothing, l did nothing, nothing, nothing!!!!!!!" Amelia screamed out loudly as she got up from her sleep. A pair of sapphire eyes glowed in the dark, her soft and delicate hands were shaking, she was sweating all over,beads of sweat was dropping profusely from her face. Running her fingers through her hair, Amelia's breathing gradually became even. "Why did l have to dream about that, it has been 10 years,10 not so good years and I had to remember it today!!!, urghh damn you Olivia". Amelia lamented as she switched on the lamp and ran her long fingers through her silver hair.

  "I really don't understand why she hates me this much. How can a mother hate her daughter because she claims she looks like her father" Amelia muttered to herself.

 "And to top it, I doubt I look like him because l really don't remember what he looks like"

 "Urghh l really can't miss a good sleep because of that woman" She said as she switched off the lights and draped the blankets over her body.

EARLIER THAT DAY

Amelia walked down the stairs to get herself water to drink, she was greeted with the sight of her 'mother', Olivia reeking of alcohol and was sprawled out on the couch obviously unconscious.

Letting out a defeated sigh, she gently took off Olivia's shoes, leaving only her socks on, removed the bottle of Alcohol from Olivia's grip and adjusted her position.

In the process of putting a cushion under Olivia's head, Olivia woke up. Immediately Olivia locked eyes with Amelia, she struck her across the face without hesitation.

"You- - -you caused everything, you are the reason they both left. Mark and Li both left because of you" Olivia screamed , pointing her index finger at Amelia as she stood up from the chair.

"You are the reason my life is a mess, giving birth to you is my biggest regret"

"I regret having you"

"I wish I had taken the advice of my

roommates back then and had an abortion"

"If I had done so, I will not have to be suffering like this" Olivia screamed as she glared at the immobile Amelia with hatred.

"Did I beg you to have me, did I, huh answer me" Amelia questioned Olivia as she gripped her tightly by the shoulder.

"Answer me, can't speak huh"

"Everytime you blame me for your bad luck, how is it my fault?" Amelia shook Olivia violently.

"I agree you had me out of wedlock but wasn't dad with you for 3 years?"

"Even though I have no memory of what transpired in that period but I am sure he left not because of me but because the love he had for you no longer existed, it had EXPIRED and he left before it turned into hatred and aggression"

"None of these is my fault, I am the victim here so why don't you get it" Amelia said with bitterness

"You are not the victim, I am" Olivia retorted as she freed herself from Amelia's grip.

"Li Left because of you, so did Mark, you are a living disaster"

"Since you knew that, then why did you bring me back?"

"I was living a pretty good life with my grandma. You took me away from her without my permission, brought me here and introduced me to your new family as an orphan you brought from the countryside who will work as your new maid. I said nothing not because I wasn't hurt but because I felt it would make you happy"

"And do you know why I attacked Mark? do you?"

"It was because he tried to make a move on me, he tried to have his way with me 3 consecutive times. If you had told him that I am your daughter, he probably won't have done that, seriously that was my thought the first time he approached me, until I saw him grope Fransisca and tried to get handsy with Emiliy".

"So tell me as their elder sister should I have kept quiet about it?"

"Moreover all of this is your fault, if you had satisfied his desires, would he have approached us?"

'PAK'

'DING' 'DING' 'DING' was all Amelia could hear. Olivia had struck her across the face for the second time, the latter more painful than the former. Amelia is sure that the latter would leave a mark if the former didn't.

"This is all you can do, beat me and nothing else" Amelia complained as she gently caressed her sore cheek. She winced in pain as she spoke but not a single year dropped further infuriating Olivia which leads to Olivia smashing the flower vase seated on the table on Amelia's head.

Amelia raised her hand to her head, as she touched the middle of her hair, she winced out in pain and brought it down revealing a bright red liquid on her fingers.

"Have a good night rest, Olivia" Amelia whispered and caught Olivia right before she fell. Olivia passed out at the sight of blood which did not come as a surprise to Amelia. Amelia took the unconscious Olivia to her room, laid her properly on the bed before exiting the room. A figure darted across upstairs, Amelia completely unaware.

Upon entering her own room, Amelia took a bath and winced in pain as she did so, still not shedding a single drop of tear. After then she wore her pyjamas and immediately she laid on the bed, she slept off.
