章 1: Mr. Commissioner!........

Vanessa's mom died when she was just 16 years of age and her mom's sister took her in. At first, everything was good and she had a really good relationship with her daughter, Samantha. But then all of a sudden, her father proposed marriage to her mom's sister saying she was going to serve as a mother figure for her. Vanessa agreed immediately because she thought it was all in the name of bringing the family together and she didn't dare to object. But then, weeks after their marriage, her stepmom chamged completely and she regretted her actions immediately. Worse of all, her dad turned a blind eye to every injustice, torment and torture Vanessa faced in the hands of her stepmom. Vanessa had to earn money at a very young age because her stepmom would sometimes starve her and she was made to work in the kitchen alone. She did the dishes, washed the clothes, fetched water because they lived in a rural environment, she also ran errands for the family but Samantha became the jewel of the family. Her dad spends money lavishly and buys alot of cosmetic product and makeovers for Samantha. Vanessa spends most of her days in the kitchen and at work so she didnt think it was necessary to apply makeups and she became uglier with every single day.
