'The death of Rebecca and John Hathaway came as a huge shock to us all ' Madam Beatrice removed her glasses ,cleaned her tears, and put it back on as she continued her doleful speech. Madam Beatrice who happens to be the younger sister of late Rebecaa Hathaway who happens to be Veronica's mother has been giving the liberty to give a speech at Veronica's parent funeral.
The little Veronica, stood with her babysitter feeling despondent over the sudden death of her parent ,she was just seven and never knew what death means until her Nanny Charlotte told her what it means .She had cried herself to sleep the previous night, constantly throwing tantrums,asking for her mother and father,but it never occured to the little girl that they are gone and will never come back again.
Rebecca and John Hathaway, the late parent of Veronica Hathaway were an extremely wealthy family in England in the year 2000,but they never knew they were going to meet their end when they agreed to be VIPs at an opera show in New York.
'Veronica Hathaway here is now my responsibility and i promise to raise her to be a fine young lady and carry on the great legacy of the Hathaway family ' Aunt Beatrice said as everyone applauded her like she just made one the world most commendable speech at Veronica's parent funeral .Well maybe she did,but Veronica knew something about this woman was off from the first day she saw her ,she sounds so fake.
Beatrice Alfred was given legal custody of Veronica Hathaway as she was made to move to her house , it wasn't as big and as fancy as her late parents mansion, but it was still pretty comfortable 'i promise to take care of precious Veronica over here' Beatrice beamed as she Caressed Veronica's cheek
'Well that good Miss Alfred ,i will be here tomorrow to check up on you ' Mr Patrick ,the Hathaway's lawyer said as he adjusted his glasses and look up with a broad smile ' see you tomorrow miss Alfred ' he waved as he walked out of the house
'Finally, that one is out of the way ' Beatrice Snorted with disgust as she threw her hand in the air dramatically, she looked down at me ' and you little girl ' she said with a sneer 'The only reason i wanted to adopt you was because there is nothing i want more than your parents wealth,but unfortunately i cannot have them until you at least 18 ,now i have to keep you in this Cabin that has barely enough room for my sweet loren and i 'she said while Caressing Loren her little daughter's face ' i must say ,there is simply no room for you here ,you will just have to sleep in the cold attic'
'I do not want to sleep in the attic ' Veronica protested, she knew from the start that her aunt Beatrice was a witch and had no love for her,she has always hated her even when her parents were still alive.
'Oh you don't say, now you have the guts to argue with me ? ' she glowered ' i must have you know that i will be extremely pleased to punish you if you go against my rules '
'But loren over here has a room ' Veronica said pointing at Loren
'So?'
'So can't we share ?'Veronica asked
'Mother i do not want her in my room ,i want to stay alone in my room ' Loren yelled as she folded her arms and pressed her lips together firmly signifying her anger
'Hush my dear ,you should know mama won't let that happen' Beatrice glared at Veronica before saying ' you will sleep in the attic and that is it '
'I do not want to sleep in the attic'
'I will teach you a lesson 'she said as she grabbed Veronica's hand while little Veronica was struggling to get her hands free from Beatrice ' stay here and don't you dare make a noise' she warned as she locked her in the cold dark attic
Veronica sat down on the cold attic floor as she stared at the small window in the attic ,it was dark ,dirty and very cold
She was too young and innocent to go through all this .She knew her aunt never liked her but it never occured to her that she will go this far just to show her extreme hatred for her .
She had different memories of her mother and father has tears rolled down her eyes.
If they are truly gone like her nanny told her ,maybe that is the end for her .she is all alone in the this poor world with her aunt who wants nothing from her but legal inheritance of her parents property
'Mummy, daddy, where are you, people told me you have gone to the stars but i want to know when you will come back ,come back to me ,Aunt Beatrice doesn't like me at all ,she can never take care of me ,if you do not come back from the stars then i will have to live with her forever and then i will have to stay in this Cold room for ever and i do not want to stay in this room, it dark and scary in here' She wiped the tears that ran down her cheek as she continued Soliloquizing 'Please come back from the stars Mummy and daddy ,please come back ' Tears ran freely down her eyes as she has no control of them anymore, she needed her mother and father more than anything, and right now that all that trully matters to her...
ems to be very had and sadly things changed in a way I couldn't believe it.
