"Why does he seem oddly familiar, where could I have met this cruel man"
I knelt down at the foot of the table holding what is left of my dignity as I obliged to his demand and crawled to his feet.
"Don't cry lily" "do this for mom" I kept chanting in my head as I kept crawling to him.
The urge to break down and cry was much, I bit down on my lips to drown the tears with pain but even I of all people have a breaking point.
I looked up at him and for a moment I wished he wasn't the wicked selfish son of his father that he is.
My eyes suddenly became blurry And I figured out that it was tears, Furious at myself, the world and at this handsome Egyptian god sitting at my front, I kept trying to wipe the tears with the back of my palms but when the tears wouldn't stop, I just let it flow.
I kept my face down as I cried out my heart hoping that he doesn't see me cry for him.
When I felt I could control myself again I looked up at him and found him peering at me with intense curiosity like he was trying to figure me out.
Slowly I muttered "ple.. please sir, I'll do it"
He grinned like he hasn't spent months trying to humiliate me.
"Stand up lily, you're gonna crease my shoes with your knee" he said all the while smiling.
He has the perfect smile, a shame he doesn't smile often.
"Sign here my love" he said and pushed a brown envelope to me with "CONFIDENTIAL" Boldly written on it.
With shaky hands I signed, working for this man wasn't on my list when I left Graceful Haven but somewhere in this building lies the next clue on finding my mother.
**Eleven years ago**
"Do you really think you'll find her name in the certificate?" asked Poppy while stirring the bowl of soup on the table.
I stared at the soup, I could see some vegetables floating in the soup, I scooped up some peas while thinking of what Poppy just asked.
"There has to be something there about her, I know I can find her" I finally replied to her.
"Why did I forget my coat?" I muttered while trying to rub my palms on my arms for warmth.
"I'll quickly go bring your coat, no one will see me" Poppy said
"No.. no.. no.." I whispered but she already left for the dormitory, I couldn't risk anyone noticing my presence in the dining hall,
I saw as he watched her run past then turned to search for me, but I was quick enough to hide under the table.
Laughter could be heard bouncing off the walls of the dining hall, this is the one time older kids and younger kids get to communicate and not even the freezing weather could steal this little precious time from them, most kids were together discussing all the events of the day.
It is a large dining hall but I've been here long enough to know everything happening even while under the table. I sat there staring at everyone's moving feet while praying and hoping that mother Darcy would show up before they found me.
Besides, mother superior that if you have been good then your prayers will be answered, I don't believe her but I just hoped that maybe a miracle could happen this one time.
*Thud.. thud..* I could hear the sound of their shoes as they were getting closer to my not so hidden hiding place, shivering I tried crawling to another table but I couldn't as he already had one of my pigtails in his grip and I heard myself letting out a cry for help and as always I was replied with laughter from everyone in the hall.
Face on the hard cold floor, curled up like a ball, I surrendered myself to them.
