BENSON HOUSE*
Adel walked into the house to see her stepmom already waiting for her.
“So sleeping around wasn’t enough for you that you decide to start coming home late?” Her stepmother said, more like a question.
She kept quiet.
“you’re no different from your mother… Just look at her, born wh-_-re,” she added, Adel made to Walk past her but she blocked her way.
“You don’t walk out on me wh-_-re, now let me tell you… If you don’t keep your legs closed I will show you that am the captain of this house,” Ruth said evilly.
She ignored her and start going upstairs.
“Stupid sluty daughter of a wh-_-re, so you have grown huh! Your mother hasn’t won a prize in the porn industry and you want to win it in my house?” Her steps said.
She clenched her fist tightly and bite her lips to avoid tears.
“Stupid slut, just like her mother… She abandoned you cos she knows that you will grow up and be just like her, a wh-_-re,” Her stepmom added and she walks without saying a word.
She went into her room and all the tears she was holding came running down her cheeks, she leaned by the door as her back slowly slide down and she put her hand in her head then hugged her knees tightly.
“Just when I thought one problem is over and another one will appear,” She ruffles her head still seating on the floor and sobbing.

ASHLEY*
“How many $h00ts did I have today?” She asked.
She’s currently on a phone call with her manager.
“None, it had been canceled,” he replied.
“What did you mean canceled? I have been preparing for that $h00t since yesterday,” she shouted over the phone.
“They said they need someone in a good shape, it’s a new product so they need someone better,” her manager replied.
“That can’t happen, not when am still Ashley, but who did they choose now?” She asked.
“Adel, she got all the curves and she also has good shape plus her…..
“Enough, how dare you say those things about her to me! You could lose your job for saying that,” She said angrily with gritting teeth.
“Am sorry, I was only trying……
“Screw you,” she cut in and ended the call.
A minute after she ended it her phone rang again, seeing that it was an unknown number she picked up.
“Hi, are you a model?” The person asked and her face lit up.
“Yes, you’ve got the right number,” she replied.
“Very good, I have been trying to reach you for so long and thanks goodness I’m now, you don’t know how I am,” the person said and she can imagine the look on the person’s face.
“So what can I do for you?” She asked.
“I will lunch a new product tomorrow and I want you to advertise it,” the person said and she smiled.
“Finally I have got a bigger contract,” the thought giggling.
“Alright, just call my manager and he will guide you through the things that it’s required,” she replied.
“So what’s that your name again? Adel right?” The person asked.
“No, I’m Ashley,” she replied.
“Sorry I wanted to call Adel not you, wrong number,” the person added and end the call.
“Adel!!!!” She yelled angrily and smash the phone on the wall, filled with rage.

Adel dressed up for work and came downstairs to see her father eating, it’s rare for him at home.
She only see him at work, she made to Walk past but he called her back.
“Adel, come here,” he said and she turned and went to him.
Her stepmom has that evil look on her face same as Ashley, but each time her father looks their way they will pretend to be smiling.
“Did something happen? You don’t look good,” he asked and she sat in the chair close to him.
“She never looks good,” Ruth said and Mr. Benson glared at her.
“Adel…..
“Am fine,” she cut in with a smile.
She didn’t want him to fight with her stepmother again cos the last time he did, it didn’t end well.
“Since you said that you’re fine, well I want to let you know that one of my daughters will be getting married soon,” Mr. Benson said and everyone turn to him.
“What? Hope is not me cos am too young for marriage, I don’t even like babies and…
“Shout up Ashley, I wasn’t talking to you,” Mr. Benson said and turn to Adel.
“Hope am not the one?” She asked staring at him.
“You’re getting married soon and your husband’s family will be coming over for dinner tomorrow, this is not an option it my decision,” Mr. Benson said and she stood up angry.
“I know it, you never liked me in the first place, you were just faking it,” She said already in tears.
“Adel, I love you more than anything in this world, but sometimes we just have to do what has to be done, someone has been stealing from the company and it’s going down, this is the only way to bring it back up again,” Mr. Benson said and she shakes her head negatively.
“You’re selling me for your company? I should have known, what was I expecting when everyone see me as a wh-_-re, I’m not surprised if you also see me as one,” she replied and left only to come across Margaret by the door.
She pushed her out of the way and stormed off, Margaret runs after her
