01. PROLOGUE

20 years back....

A loud crying could be heard. The Doctor came and said,'' We could save the baby but not the mother.'' The father of the child couldn't control the grief inside him. But was angry that he couldn't do anything.

**************

A Few Months Later.....

He loved his baby a lot. But a rumour shattered him. His wife wasn't loyal to him and the baby cradled in his arm wasn't his flesh. He didn't want to believe the rumour but the result of the dna changed everything even the child's future.

**************

8 years later.....

Elaine always stayed inside her room. She wasn't an introvert but circumstances and situations forced her to stay aloof.

Her father hated her and she didn't know the reason at first but came to know later. People said she wasn't his child but her father neither acknowledged the rumour nor opposed it. Albeit Both looked a lot alike but he chose to ignore it.

She was to call him sir and there were rules and regulations imposed on her where as her step sister was free to do whatever she wanted and call him whatever she liked to call. He was warm and affectionate towards her stepsister where as cold towards her.

She loved going to the park but was taken only when Anastasia(her step sister) wanted to go. Ana was the centre of concern. Even her caretakers left her to look after her when she just had a normal cut but never bothered to look at her when she was seriously ill. She almost prayed to die everytime flu caught her but to no avail she would come back to normal.

She started escaping th house and going to the park secretly and was delighted because no one caught her while escaping. The day at park was the calmest day and there was no one ( especially her step mother) to remind her of her mother's infidelity.

'' Hello. My name is Ethan.''

''Mm''

'' Hi ''

'' Leave me alone.''

'She is so rude' Little Ethan couldn't help but wonder.

'' I want to befriend you.''

'' But I don't want you as my friend.''

''Too bad I won't leave you alone until you say yes''

'' Ugh. Stop it. Go away.''

''No I want you to be my friend.''

'' Ok''.

*********************************

'' Mom she is not waking up.''

''Where did you see her.''

I wanted to be friend with her and play with her but she slept without saying anything and did not wake up.''

'' She did not sleep baby she fainted. ''

''Honey I think we should tell her father. She is running with high fever.'' his mother said.

'' You think he cares. I just don't understand why he refuses to see her as her own biological daughter when she is a carbon copy of him.''
