She barked at me like I was one of the servants instead of her daughter. Even in front of royalty she couldn’t hide her disdain. Ma shot her a re, luckily for Sharon she missed it, Calvin however did not. He immediately became nervous, smiling a little too brightly.
As I walked towards Ma and Theo, Sharon began to speak her voice t. A far cry from the enthusiasm they had introducing their other children.
“<i>This </i><i>is </i>our <i>daughter </i><i>Grd</i>. <i>We </i><i>hope </i><i>that </i><i>you </i><i>show </i><i>patience </i><i>with </i><i>her</i><i>. </i><i>We </i><i>only </i><i>got </i><i>her </i><i>back </i><i>seven years </i><i>ago</i>, <i>so </i><i>she </i><i>hasn’t </i><i>had </i><i>the </i><i>adequate </i><i>amount </i><i>of </i><i>training </i>as <i>our </i><i>other </i><i>children </i><i>have </i><i>had</i><i>.</i>”
Ma looked at Sharon with a look of disgust causing her to shudder slightly. Calvin then
spoke up.
“<i>Uh</i><i>, </i><i>what </i><i>my </i><i>wife </i><i>means </i><i>is </i><i>Grd may </i><i>not </i><i>be </i><i>as </i><i>poised </i><i>and </i><i>graceful </i><i>as </i><i>our </i><i>Livie</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>she </i><i>will </i><i>most </i><i>certainly </i><i>serve </i><i>well </i><i>as </i><i>servant </i><i>and </i><i>caretaker</i><i>. </i>
<i>?? </i>
Theo and Ma shot death res at Calvin. In all honesty, they were doing an immacte job at ruining themselves all on their own.
Ma spoke first.
<i>“</i><i>Such prideful </i><i>introductions </i><i>for </i><i>your </i><i>sons </i><i>and </i><i>other </i><i>daughter</i><i>. </i><i>Yet </i><i>this </i><i>is how </i><i>you </i><i>introduce </i><i>the </i><i>daughter </i><i>you’re </i><i>allowing </i><i>to </i><i>marry </i>my <i>son</i><i>?</i>”
The color began to drain from Calvin’s face. Sharon began to exin,
<i>“</i><i>T</i>–<i>That’s </i><i>not </i><i>it</i><i>! </i><i>Madam</i>, <i>I’m </i><i>not </i><i>sure </i><i>if </i><i>you </i><i>were </i><i>aware</i><i>, </i><i>but Grd </i><i>was </i><i>taken </i><i>from </i><i>us </i>
<i>when she </i><i>was </i>a-”
“<i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>we </i><i>are </i><i>aware</i><i>. </i><i>Did </i><i>you </i><i>think </i><i>we </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>investigate </i><i>the </i><i>family </i>of <i>the </i><i>woman </i><i>we </i><i>chose </i><i>to </i>
<i>marry </i><i>our </i><i>son</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“O–Of <i>course</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Theo spoke next.
<i>“</i><i>Did </i><i>the </i><i>two </i><i>of </i><i>you </i><i>truly </i><i>think </i><i>we </i><i>requested </i><i>your </i><i>daughter’s </i><i>hand </i><i>for </i>our <i>son </i><i>just </i><i>to </i><i>make </i>

Calvin and Sharon’s eyes shot up in fear, this hadn’t gone the way they thought it would.
Noah then tried to intervene.
<i>“</i><i>Lord </i><i>and </i><i>Lady </i><i>Christiansen</i>, <i>please </i><i>forgive </i><i>my </i><i>parents </i><i>if </i><i>you </i><i>felt </i><i>they </i><i>misspoke</i>. <i>What </i><i>they </i>
<i>meant </i><i>to </i>say-”
“<i>You’re </i><i>the </i><i>brother </i><i>correct</i>? <i>Not </i><i>the </i><i>father </i>or <i>head </i><i>of </i><i>household</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Theo red at Noah causing him to back away while everyone else stood in silence. Finally, Ma smiled brightly at me, walking past Sharon and Calvin with her arms extended she embraced me tightly.
<i>“</i><i>Hello </i><i>daughter</i><i>.</i>”
As I embraced her back, I caught a nce of Sharon, her face was ashen, and her eyes were red with fury!
Speaking loud enough for only me to hear, Ma smiled.
“<i>We’ll </i><i>be </i><i>out </i><i>of </i><i>here </i><i>soon</i><i>; </i><i>we </i><i>just </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>verify </i><i>something </i><i>first</i>.”
I squinted my eyes slightly as I was a little confused, but I nodded in agreement. I didn’t know what their overall n was, but I trusted thempletely. Ma walked back over
to Theo.
<i>“</i><i>Well</i><i>, </i>we’ll <i>be </i><i>leaving </i><i>soon</i><i>, </i><i>so</i><i>, </i><i>if </i><i>you </i><i>could </i><i>show </i><i>us </i><i>where </i><i>you </i><i>had </i><i>‘</i><i>our </i><i>daughter</i>‘ <i>sleeping</i>. <i>We’d </i><i>like </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>a </i><i>general </i><i>idea </i><i>of </i><i>what </i><i>her </i><i>tastes </i><i>are</i>.<i>” </i>
It was something about the way Ma said, ‘our daughter‘. I found my eyes betraying me as they began to water. Calvin and Sharon eyes widen as the final drops of color that remained in their faces began to disappear.
Calvin scrambled to figure out how to answer. Ma then spoke,
<i>“</i><i>You </i><i>didn’t </i><i>have </i><i>her </i><i>living </i><i>in </i>a <i>closet </i><i>did </i><i>you</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>

Everyone’s face began to fall. Suddenly, Ma began tough hysterically, an eeriness to herughter making it that much more frightening.

“<i>We’re </i><i>only </i><i>kidding</i><i>. </i><i>Surly </i><i>a family </i><i>as </i><i>prominent </i><i>as </i><i>yours </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>have </i><i>treated </i><i>your </i><i>own </i><i>daughter </i><i>in </i><i>such </i>a manner<i>.</i>”

Guild began to spread across Calvin and Noah’s face while Sharon’s expression was nk.
Ma then looked at her watch.
<i>“</i><i>We’ll </i><i>be </i><i>taking </i><i>our leave </i><i>now</i>. <i>We’ll </i><i>inform </i><i>you </i><i>all </i><i>when </i><i>the </i><i>wedding </i><i>takes </i><i>ce</i>.<i>” </i>
Turning to face me, Ma extended her hand to me.
<i>“</i><i>Come </i><i>daughter</i><i>, </i><i>let’s </i><i>go </i><i>home</i>.”
I smiled passionately as I grabbed her hand. Theo then ordered the guards to grab my violin and suitcase. We didn’t even say goodbye as we existed the estate.<fna671> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? fινdnοvel</fna671>
Thus came an end to my life in that hellish house.
