BREAKING COLD FACADES

"Drusillia, Stop it" Adinah watched their youngest brother being bullied by her second sibling drusillia, who was sixteen years old and their youngest brother Cyrus, who was only eight.

She moved towards the window of their poorly kept and furnished new apartment, which they rented in a rural area

She had only two days left to submit herself to the old man, she didn't know if she should hate her father, for what he had done to her and her poor siblings.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, as she immersed herself in the view of her neighborhood

"Ahhhh" her little brother Cyrus cried out, she quickly rushed to him and squattedd in front of him

"What happened Cyrus" she asked him, seeing how tears rushed down his cheeks, and he scratched on his arms crazily, which scared Adinah that he would peel off his skin

"Stop scratching, what is it" Drusillia who was standing asked worriedly as she tried to unclasp her brother's hand which tightened on his skin

"Cyrus listen to drusillia and stop scratching" Adinah held a fierce look

" I can't" Cyrus cried out, Adinah realizing what had happened, quickly got a mentholated Rob, which her neighbor had given her to use once they had an ant bite.

"Okay be a good boy" Adinah patted his head and loosened his hands which gripped his skin so hard

She applied the Rob on the area of his skin which had reddened. Cyrus was the kid who wasn't used to ants bite, untill they got to this place.

Mosquito bites was the worst for Cyrus, because he would get very sick the following day

"Am sorry sis" he apologized to Adinah after the itching had stopped with pouted lips and cheeks

"You are not meant to be darling" she rubbed on his hair "we where always blinded with so many luxry that time that we don't know what others are going through, now this is a taste"

" I knew you where going through a lot, but I continue getting sick or bitten" her brother stared down at his feet

" It isn't our fault, its mom and dad's" drusillia said angrily " am now a laughing stock in the face of my friends, I can't even walk out their as the daughter of a billionaire that I am, but that of a well known debtor" she fumed as she went to sit on the plastic chair in the room, lended to them by their neighbor

Adinah sighed "don't blame mom and dad, I know they did wrong, it for our.."

"No don't tell me that crap over and over again Ady" drusillia cut her off " it for their company's fvcking sake not ours, stop playing good Ady, and try seeing the truth"

" Or have you forgotten what their foolishness as put you through, next two days, only two days left Ady" she demonstrated the two days with her finger's as tears dripped down her cheeks

"I can't even complete my studies, not even Cyrus can" drusillia complained

Cyrus was left on the edge, not understanding what was transferring between his sister's, he got worried when he saw both his sister's silently sobbing

"Maybe this is just to teach us a lesson, my teacher would always say 'It's no use crying over spilled milk, cause we can still make better progress" Cyrus said, only to get a glare from Drusillia

"You won't understand Cyrus, so be quiet" drusillia shouted at him

" Stop it Drusillia, Cyrus is a child" Adinah cautioned

"So am i" she shouted "am a teen, a poor miserable teen" she sobs "I know we learnt our lessons, we saw who is friends and who is enemy, not even those we love and trusted came to our rescue, but mocked us, not even my friends or my boyfriend" Drusillia face showed betrayal, hate and other maddening emotions

Adinah heart ached for her sister, she stood up slowly, and went up to her sister as she embraced her "it okay Dru" she soothed her sister long strawberry blonde hair which she inherited from their mom

Her family consisted of three red haired, her, her dad and her brother, but her's was dark red, which would remind you of the color of blood, some people said she had tinted the hair which wasn't true, while her sister and her mom shared the strawberry blonde wavy hair.

"Ady, if I said I hated our parent, would you be angry" drusillia asked and Adinah shook her head.

She knew how her sister deeply loved their parents, she was just in a frenzy of anger, which would clear in few minutes.

A beep from Adinah's phone jolted the siblings, she quickly left her sister and moved towards her phone, which was the last thing she possessed now

It was a message from an unknown sender, she quickly opened it "Two days left to spread those sweet legs for me Angel" with a tongue emoji

Adinah looked at the message disgustingly, she knew it was the disgusting old man, she had the urge to find him and spit on his face

She wasn't going to do this, not in her wildest dreams would she, she balled her hands into a tight fist

"That old crazy fvcker again ryt" drusillia covered her palms on her little brother's ear, so he won't hear her curses, which was forbidden by their parents

If Adinah was the only child, she would have find a way to escape by herself, but now with her siblings, she had a rethink that if she did, her siblings especially Drusillia would pay the price.

"Won't you reply sweet" another message popped in by the crazy man

" That you have gone mad" Adinah typed back

"Oh no baby, that no way to talk to a man who is gonna bed you soon, whatever, to the deal, cloths would be sent to you tomorrow morning, and you are to meet me in VISCARIA at 6:00pm sharp, if you don't meet up with the time, you are done for, and don't try to ESCAPE, or I would make your life a living hell till you pay your father's debt. Till we meet, can't wait to get that sexy body under the sheet" Adinah slid down after reading the message as she downed her head in defeat

"What did the wencher say, he could just go do it with his daughter, not my sister" she took her sisters phone and read their conversation

*. *. *.

The next morning three big package greeted them in front of their apartment.

Adinah brought it in, as her pesty neighbor children had gathered in front of the package, with curious gazes on it, she smiled at them and took the package which she knew was from the vile man.

Cyrus was still asleep, while Drusillia was busy with her phone, with dark circles around her eyes, due to lack of good sleep.

Drusillia hadn't gotten herself acquainted with their new home, giving her sleepless nights

She dropped the package, not wanting to open it, drusillia dropped her phone and looked towards the package Ady brought in

"The fvcker is serious about this Sissy" she walked up to her sis, who stared at the package with an emotionless face

"Are you willing to do this Ady" Dru asked Adinah

" If only I had other option Dru" Adinah said

Drusillia gave the package a deadpan look, before bending and starts unsealing them

The first box contained stockings, different lacy bra and pants and a paper on the left side of the box reading "where this when you are settled in the room assigned for you"

The second box contained of a red revealing short dress, which had certain jewelleries and an over the knee boots heels with it, another paper was placed inside it "wear this before you leave home to VISCARIA, a car would come to pick you 5:00", Dru scoffed

Dru proceeded to open the next one, which seems bigger and heavier to the first and second one.

Drusillia opened it and the scent of pizza wafted in her nose, it had been really long since she had this unique scent of pizza

It wasn't only pizza in the box, a basket of fruit, laid beneath the pizza place

"I don't think we should have this, because this man his a really sly one" Drusillia said

She dragged the pizza up and a paper rested on the basket of fruit "Don't dare to throw it away, I didn't poison it, or what would I gain if I poisoned my sweetheart" the paper read and drusillia tore it in distate , almost throwing up.

"Even though I love pizza, even though we are nothing less to the worth of the beggars, I would prefer death than to eat this" Drusillia took the box which contained the fruits and stuffs, and stormed out of the house, without even asking for her sister permission
