Chapter 2

Enisa pov

I was too speechless to say a word, such audacity. All of a sudden I felt my blood boil with anger. It is not enough that she has already ruined my life ! she can insult me too? I was hurt, I was already getting used to this but hearing those words come from her really damaged the little ego I had left.

I stared at father, as usual he didn't say anything. All of a sudden I felt defeated. My feeling here didn't matter and nothing was going to change that.

I turned around to leave my leg feeling weightless and dragging along while I walked, with the silence still hovering around, standing there just made me feel less of myself. " Wait " , I heard a voice said behind me and I came to halt ,I turned and met the sinister gaze of Iris.Those green eyes under those long lashes gave a killer look, she shot her brows and sighed.

" If it is clothes you need then there is no problem, I can borrow you some of my clothes they are old but way more better than any clothes you've ever had, they will be perfect." Iris said with a smirk and I gave her a deadly glare. If looks could kill, the glare I gave her was enough to send her six feets under the ground.

I tried to control the anger that was whelming up in me and my hands clenched into a fist. I was waiting for father to object to this. " What a wonderful idea Iris why didn't I think of that." Father said and my jaw dropped in shock, a sly grin played across Iris lips. " Father you agree to this ? I asked trying not to betray my emotions my mouth quivering as the words slipped out of my mouth.

" I don't see any reason why he shouldn't ". Vedica said looking pleased, I shut my eyes and smacked my lips in anguish, and then it dawned on me that I was alone in this nothing I said really mattered, taking a deep breath I walked away. I could hear them laugh but I didn't look back , I quickened my pace I wasn't going to let them get on my nerves.

I walked straight to my room and slammed the door . I couldn't hold the tears that had gathered in my eyes so I just let them flow. I picked up a piece of mirror from the floor, it was the only thing that reflected who I really was. I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror. My hair was a little untidy but that didn't stop it from glowing. It was long and thick and very black in colour. Unlike the rest of my family who had brown coloured hair, I was different I inherited my dark colored hair from my mother.

One of my prominent features was my dark blue eyes hidden under thick black eye lashes. Father use to say they made me look cute but that was before Iris came into our lives. Ever since then everything never remained the same. Iris got all the attention and I got nothing.

I could hear voices coming from outside. It kept intruding my thoughts and causing a whirlwind. I quickly wiped my tears and got up to go and inquire what was going on. I was surprised to meet Iris and her mother already dressed in expensive clothes. They were set to go to the capitals already! they really must be excited for the shopping. A car was already packed Infront of the mansion to convey them. I sighed and turned around to go back inside..." Enisa ! Iris called and a cold sensation ran through my body her voice causing me to irk.

" What now ! I muttered under my breath as I turned to look at her.

" On a second thought you are coming along with us to the capitals," she said pouting her lips and I just stood there staring at her sheepishly. What could have made her changed her mind. "Why should she come along Iris." Vedica asked obviously surprised by Iris sudden change of mind.

" She could prove to be useful by carrying our shopping bags when we are shopping." Iris said grinning, I just felt like walking up to her and giving her a dirty slap. Out of all the whole maid in the pack house she chose me. She wanted to treat me like a servant in front of everyone. I shifted my gaze to father and he gave me a go ahead look. I sighed heavily and reluctantly walked up to the car which was already packed few meters away, they were already in the car sitted when I got in and sat down.

I marvelled at the opportunity of a life time for a while, it was a very exotic car. This was my first time getting in a very expensive car I have never entered one before. Iris sat as far away from me as possible, but I cared less. I feasted my eyes on the beautiful cities we passed by to get to the capitals. I took in every features, it was my first time going anywhere and probably my last.

....

I stood quivering under the weight of the shopping bags. My face struggling to get out of the suffocating smell of new clothes. Iris kept buying so much clothes and jewelries then she handed them over to me to carry. She then let's me put them in the car and come back to carry more shopping bags. She bought so much clothes, she would put on a dress and ask her mother how it looked on her and she would say.

"It is very beautiful dear it's fit you well take it." I rolled my eyes concurrently, none of those dress really did fit her , but Vedica was too blinded by her own shopping she didn't check out the dresses Iris kept showing her. They kept on doing this and couldn't make a particular choice so they just brought everything. I watched as they shopped for clothes for themselves and shunned me. It was like I didn't even exist.

Just then my gaze caught something, it was glittering. It was at the extreme end of the clothes section in the mall so Iris couldn't have seen it yet.The sight of it really got my attention. As if under a trance I slowly walked up to where the dress was, as if every moment mattered I took my time scrutinizing it as every step I took brought me closer to it , on getting to where the dress was displayed nicely on the shelve I took it in my hands. It was silky and designed with diamond stones. It looked elegant and not expensive even though I knew it was.

I stood admiring the dress for a while, I decided to try it on. I went into the dressing room and came out to take a look at myself using the dressing mirror. A group of girls who were chatting and were passing by stopped and started staring at the dress. "Wow, it's beautiful" they said admiring the dress for a while. I stood for a while admiring myself in the mirror. I rarely got chances like this so I took my time to take in all my features.

I had become quite slim, but I had a sexy figure and that made the dress fit me perfectly as if it was made for me. My jaw lines were perfect and I had a pointed nose, with thin lips.

I went back into the dressing room to change back to my clothes. I sighed as I looked at the dress for one last time before placing it back in the shelve. " Do you like it" a deep voice said from behind. All of a sudden I perceived a overwhelming scent . It had a powerful aura and I couldn't help but turn to see who it was.

My gaze fell on a man with black curly hair, and a stunning figure. I couldn't take my eyes off him, oh good lord he was so handsome. His clothes looked very expensive and I had to admit he has this striking demeanor. " Do you like the dress" he asked staring at me deeply and all of a sudden I lost my voice. How come a stranger was having this effect on me his voice was like a magnet.

"Yes I do like it" finally breaking the silence I said in a shy tone darting my eyes. He stared at the dress then stared at me . He rummage through the clothes in the shelves and selected another one with the same design but it was Blue in color " This will look good on you it matches your eyes", He said and I felt butterflies in my stomach." Come with me" he said his voice traced with power and he began to walk away .

I was reluctant but followed him and we ended up at the checkout and he took the dress from me and without saying a word and paid for it.

I was quite shocked, no one has ever been this nice to me. I turned to thank him but he was already gone. A lady handed the dress in a shopping bag over to me and just then ...."Enisa'' I my stepmother called.

" Oh no I'm in big trouble "!
