Every look on Gloria's face depicted pain, anger, disappointment, and emptiness. It was built in, but while revealing everything to Rachael, it felt as if she was emptying all the hatred she had felt all this while.
She even felt disgusted by her own body. Different suicidal thoughts had come to her head, but somehow she felt her inner mind whispering that ' only coward thinks of such'.
Me Stanley was someone she was beginning to trust after the abandonment by her parents. It was a mixed feeling for her when she finally got to know some of the mysteries behind Mr. Stanley's motive on her.
The main reason she wanted her not to give in to her masturbating urges was so she could focus more on him. The trick was obvious, as he made her attracted to him only to complete his dubious act.
"That night started with him giving me some work to do. We were alone in the big mansion, as my parents had traveled to one of their business meetings.After
With her feeble state, Gloria made her way toward Mr. Stanley's office. She felt her body warm but filled with worries and anxiety especially when she was oblivious to what he wanted to say.She has been living with him, using her for his sexual pleasure every night. Every time she thought about him, she only felt more furious, not to talk of the thought of killing him.But she could not do that. All she feels now is an emptiness within her void. She doesn't feel the worth of any value. Weakness, pain, struggle, and anxiety were those things she faced every day. She has even become lean, but her parents are oblivious to this.If only she knew, she would have kept mute about the rape committed by Mr. Stanley. At Least, her parents will still be allowed to stay in the big mansion. That way, she could have figured out a way to get rid of him. But ever since then, she became an object of dark obsession by a man old enough to be his uncle.She st
' IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SMILE IN YOU, GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. DON'T BE SURLY AT HOME, THEN GO OUT IN THE STREET AND START GRINNING ' GOOD MORNING TO TOTAL STRANGERS'..... Rachael's life was governed by two major principles, which are: doing the right thing and getting it right. With Gloria on the page, she was more determined to do the right thing by making Mr. Stanley face the wrath of the law for defiling a teenager. A time change was needed. Mr. Stanley needed to be placed where he belongs.People like him are the reasons why some parents find it difficult to entrust the care of their children into the hands of teachers. It is people like Mr. Stanley that would go through crooked means just to get what they want especially when it comes to their sexual pleasure. How sickening! The group have all made pl
Fear, panic, and anxiety were boldly written on their faces. "Gloria, Gloria," Joy shouted at the phone.They have heard Gloria mumbling and yawning.The cop was the first to make a move as she ran inside. Kevin and Andrew followed. Rachael felt stupefied as she was stuck in one position. She felt as if air passed through her. She knew Gloria was in trouble, but why was she hesitating and not helping. "Rachael, Rachael," Joy's voice finally startled her as she realized she has not moved from the position she was in. "We should, should. uh," Rachael's voice trailed off. She was panicking obviously. Her heart was beating fast making her unable to move her legs She knew Gloria was in trouble but she was hesitating, why? "Rachael!" She finally broke out of her trance as she saw Joy looking slightly agita
Silence enveloped the room as Mrs. Gladys stood still in her position, her eyes filled with tears. She deserved to be shouted at, beaten, or even killed because she was a bad mother. A mother that never cared about the welfare of her only daughter. All she and her husband cared about was money. Money is the root of all evil was no doubt a bitter truth in a great sense. They spend most of their lives harnessing wealth without thinking of other things, most especially their daughter. Their love of money was like chasing after wind, as it is in futility. Their emotional, physical and spiritual strength drained at the expense of wealth. "Rachael, please, I don't want to see her. Just tell her to get out of my life," Gloria held on to Rachael as she wept. The three others simply bowed their heads in form of greeting before leaving the room. Ther
' THE WEAK CANNOT FORGIVE, BUT THE STRONG CAN'. Rachael felt as if a cold wind swept right through her at the sight in front of her. In front of her was Gloria, with a bottle of something that looked like poison. With the speed of lightning, she grabbed the bottle off her hand, happy she came right on time to stop her from committing the evil deed, startled at heart because of the sight she witnessed. Gloria simply bowed her head as disappointment, sadness, heartaches, and emptiness were right over her face. She felt her world was upside down, and she felt death was calling her. She recalled how her whole life started till this very moment. The years she has spent on masturbating, a grievous sin toward God. Not to talk of the weird feeling she began to develop on Mr. Stanley, the man she trusted. Everything see
Sometimes in life, we face difficulties, challenges that threaten our lives, but the best thing is to overcome them. Living with resentment will not help, instead will make one sad and down. Gloria finally decided to let go of her past after passing through those traumatic stages in her life. Her father's surgery was successful as father and daughter later bonded. The family became whole again. However, Gloria decided to leave the country for the time being. To her, staying will only bring memories she wanted to bury. Her parents agreed instantly. Not only do they sell their unnecessary belongings, house, and extra cars, they also planned on entering the entrepreneurship world, as well as having their own business. One that won't take their time and energy. Gloria finally felt happy again. She was once again ready to be the best she
Kevin was shocked for a while as he stared at this fellow. Her resemblance with Rachael was top-notch. The person had long blonde hair and pink lips and the same pair of eyes as Rachael's. The only differences between them would probably be their voices or walking sense. The girl stood up leaving the shocked Kevin who was dazed for a while. "Hey, I am Lydia. Sorry, I bumped into you, " she smiled sweetly. Kevin got out of the little trance he was in as he stood up, clearing his throat slightly. "My bad... I am Kevin. I should be the one apologizing instead, " Kevin simply said. Somehow, he felt this person must have blood ties with Rachael to have such a resemblance with her. "You look dazed for a while there. Anything the matter?" Lydia questioned, making eye contact with Kevin. "You share resemb
There is a saying that goes thus: 'The devil you know is better than the angel you just met. Kevin felt lost in words at Lydia's offer. It was quite a tricky one. One thing he could deduce was that Lydia seems to know more than just a newcomer. While she probably has a nice expression, something still seems off to Kevin. What does she even mean getting the heart of her sister for him? She is probably not a con artist, right? He truly believes if Rachael is the one meant for him, then it would be. He will rather be like the Shulamite woman who was quite cautious with her feelings for the shepherd boy. "Love is a treasure that we all seem to find because being with the person you always love is the greatest place. You know that right? Do you even like her?" Kevin only looked on, as Lydia spoke. Since she is Rachael's step-sister, maybe it would not be ba
