They all changed

My tears didn't stop as I sat in the taxi that I had stopped while going to my parent's home .

My heart held so many things ,I wondered what my parents would say about it

I told them I hated her , it was clear that she never really liked me but they never listened ,all they did was try to cover her up all the time

I had been the one doing all the work in the company all these years ,clara Couldn't do anything ,all she did was walk around

I tried to think about what to do ,I need to calm down

I knew that I couldn't go in there ,I had just returned home and I needed time to think

For a second I wondered why my parents never really came to meet me at the airport even knowing that I was coming back After being away all this while

I paid the cab man off and with that, I walked into the familiar black gate that I grew up in

Everywhere looked so calm and arranged and not even a thing had been changed and for a moment I wondered why it was still that way

I knew that mom loved changing designs and I wondered why she hadn't done anything to the house

Walking into the house that I had grown up in ,I got a bit nervous and I wondered why

The moment I stepped into the living room ,I saw mom and dad sitting there

Dad had a newspaper in his hands and mom had a magazine

I knew she was going through some designs ,that was always what she did whenever she was less busy

"mom"I called the moment I stepped into the house

Mom raised up her head and looked at me and that sweet smile that I loved so much showed up on her face

"Darling welcomed home, "Mom said walking towards me and getting to where I was, She hugged me tightly

"Mom,''I called, pulling away

"whatever the problem is dear ,why don't you let it slide ,you just returned,you know you shouldn't be looking like this

"Mom I can't let this go, I just can't and I thought that you all were going to welcome me back home but what did I get in return, I met my so-called sister Clara intimate with my husband, they were having sex on my matrimonial bed, "I said letting out all the tears I had in my eyes

"About that ,I think you should just let Darren go,'' Dad said

I watched my dad stand up from where he sat ,he wasn't saying a thing ,he was asking me to Let my husband go

"Mom, dad, what's going on, is this all you have to say "I yelled at them in frustration.

Mom looked at me and scoffed

"you have always been stubborn ,you listen to your dad and let that man go ,let your sister have him ,after all they both love each other and if the so called Darren loved you so much ,then why would he be having sex with you sister ,that's just far from it

"I see no reason why you should cry about it ,"mom told me and walked away

I thought about all that my parents had to say and it was at that moment ,I knew that they had hands in whatever that was happening,how could they be saying this

I knew they treated her nicely even after knowing that she lived a reckless life ,but I never believed that they were going to do this to me

"It's a good thing that you are back ,I wanted to tell you that

About the company ,since your sister is getting married to Darren ,I think it's a good thing that Darren rules the company

We going to merge both companies together and you will work under them , hope I have made myself clear "Valerie

Dad's words stung deep into my heart ,he was giving the company away to another and he just said that Darren was getting married to my sister

I felt a hand wrap around me and for a moment I knew who it was ,it was no other than Clara ,I knew her scent

"Get off me "I yelled, pushing her off

Clara stumbled a little, hitting her back on the floor

Smack

That's was the next I felt on my cheeck

My dad slapped me

His eyes held this fury ,I had never seen before in my 23 years of living with him and being his daughter

"You bastard ,how dare you lay your filthy hands on my daughter ,how dare you "mom screamed at me angrily while she rushed to hold Clara up ,who had those pretentious tears in her eyes

"I was just trying to be nice mom, I know Valerie hated me , but I never thought that she would hate me this much.

Is it my fault that her husband chooses me over her

"Why does she hate me so much? " Clara cried and mom, held her hands. Calming her down

The sight in front of me almost made me puke

I had never felt so sick to this moment

My parents were treating me like I was a stranger

I couldn't hold the tears in my eyes

I am in pains

"you would apologize to your sister , she's your elder sister and so you will show some respect ,now apologize to her "dad screamed at me grabbing my hair harshly

"It hurts "I screamed with tears pouring out of my eyes as I tried to pull his grip away

"Apologize you pest "dad yelled

I pushed dad away from me and he staggered back but mom was quick to hold him

The man held so much in his eyes

I wondered why he hated me so ,why the sudden change ,I thought I was his favorite

I had done literally everything to please him but yet he could treat me this way

They were monster's

"For what you have done ,I would cut off all your shares from my company. You stopped being my daughter at this moment and the moment you leave this house ,do not ever return ,I will make your life a living hell I promise you that "dad told me

I had enough of the characters ,I was going to leave and never return ,that's what I was going to do

I would make them pay for this

They would cry out blood and beg for mercy but I would never forgive

They would pay for ruining

I would make them pay for this .

They would cry out blood and beg for mercy but I would never forgive.

They would pay for ruining my life .
