Imelda's Pov
I struggled up and hid at the back of a mahogany to tree with Amy as we held our breath in anxiety.
The police walked up to our hiding place but luckily for us they didn't see us.
They've escaped! They are not here... One of them said
They turned back to leave when I suddenly stepped on dry leaves and that drew the attention of one of them.
I think I heard a sound, maybe they are actually hiding... He said moving very close to me as i held my breath praying inneemindedly.
I almost lost my breath but then his phone beeped and he quickly picked up the call and left with his colleague.
Amy and I managed to get to the park that night with my wounded hand tied.
We got on the bus and headed straight to Sitio Nuevas where we planned to start a new life.
**
We walked into an old building as Amy opened the door and we walked in.
I sat heavily on the dusty chair as I untied the cloth tied to my arm.
Awwcchh....i yelled as Amy untied it.
This wound is really deep! Amy said as i yelled in pain.
How long are we gonna stay here Amy? What about the owners of this house? I asked anxiously
The owners are a distant relatives of my mom's so this is their vacation house... They are not residing here so we can stay here as long as we want.... Amy said
And your son Amy? How will you get your son? I asked
I will go to my relatives and get him... She said
In no time, we will have to save up money so that we can leave Philippines to the states... I need to get rich so I can make the Sebastian's pay for all they have done to me, my Nana and my daughter.. I cried bitterly as Amy hugged me tightly.
Jane's Pov
Mother! Mother !! Nathan called loudly as he walked up to me outside as i was packing some charcoal
Nathan! What is it? I asked anxiously
Mother it's baby Bella, she's crying and father is not inside the house... She needs to drink her milk... Nathan said childishly
And so what? What's my business with that? Listen son, I have to prepare and go to the market so I can find someone who will buy this bags of charcoal, that way we could earn some money for food.... I said
But mother she's crying and she's my only sister... Nathan said and I got annoyed
Shut up Nathan! She's a nothing but a trash baby and she's not your sister... I yelled at him
You know what mother? I just wonder why you hate Isabella.... Nathan said as he walked away in tears.
there's no way I will accept that trash baby as my daughter.
Afterall we've enough good to her by taking her in so she should be treated like a princess... I groaned angrily.
**
That night I laid on my mat with Bernard but I couldn't catch some sleep since that little trash baby won't let me with her loud tiny cries.
Oh my goodness Bernard! Can't i sleep in my own house? I shouted in annoyance
Come on Jane, the baby needs motherly care that's all..... Bernard said and I spat out
And what should we do? Take her back to the trash that's where her good for nothing mother kept her and that's where she will get all the love she was wants... I said less concerned
Jane what has this innocent child done to you that you hate her so much... Ben said as i snorted
No matter what you do Ben, I will never accept this trash baby.... I said as i quickly picked up my pillow and walked out of the room.
SEVEN YEARS LATER
Isabella was already six years old while Nathan was twelve.
Isabella! Isabella!! Where's that crazy girl? I called loudly as beautiful Isabella rushed out of the slum house.
Yes mother! She answered
Carry those bags of charcoal we will be going to give that to Mrs Garrett now... I said with hatred written boldly on my face
Owww... Isabella groaned as she tried carrying the two heavy bags of charcoal.
Mother! I can't carry all of this, it's too heavy and mother i have classes this morning at school... She said as i dragged her hair roughly
You little rascal! When did you learn to talk back at me? You listen up! The earlier you follow to Mrs Garrett's house to supply that bag of charcoal the better for you cos that will determine when you will go to school.. I said grumpily
But mother! Nathan is already in school... She said as i pulled her ear and pushed her to the bag of charcoal
Carry that now! I ordered her as she struggled to carry the bag as we set off.
Immediately we got to Mrs Garret's house, she dropped the bag and stretched her body in pain.
You have such a hard working daughter Jane... Mrs Garrett complimented her and I forced a smile
Thank you Mrs Garrett... she smiled and I threw a dangerous stare at her
How much is your money? Mrs Garrett asked
Three hundred bucks! I said as she handed the money to me
Jane! Jane!! I heard some familiar voices and turned around, it was my friends Shane and Ninay, the left San Francisco some years ago to Manila.
We locked up in embrace happily
Oh Shane and Ninay! How have you guys been? I asked smiling as Isabella greeted them
We've been already... by the way Jane who is she? Is she your daughter? They asked and I smirked
Yes ma'am! Isabella said dashing out a lovely smile
That girl is such a talkative! She's nothing but a trash baby so she can never be my daughter... I thought within myself
What's your name dear? Ninay asked
Isabella ma'am! She answered
Lovely name for a gorgeous princess! You know what you have such a pretty baby girl, you know I really doubt this beautiful girl is your daughter cos you are not in any way as beautiful as she is talk more of being more beautiful. Shane said as i felt stabbed in the heart.
I forced a smile at them as Isabella and i walked home in silence.
Immediately we got home, I pulled Isabella by the ear and dragged her inside
Mother! you are hurting me... she cried as i gave her a dirty slap
Shut up you ungrateful little witch! Am not your mother and I can never be your mother.. I yelled at her
Awwch! That hurts! mother am sorry... she cried
You are so happy, you were complimented to be beautiful but let me tell you, you are nothing but an illegitimate trash child, you will stay in here until you learn not to be a talkative anymore... I said angrily as i pushed her into the wardrobe and locked her in it.
Mother please let me out of here! Mother I have classes today! she cried
You will stay there until you learn your lesson! I said and turned to go as my cell phone rang aloud and i picked it up
📱 Hello.... yes! am Mrs Jane Hildalgo!! What? My husband has an accident?... I asked in shock.......
