1 Chapter 1 Eve's pov

I woke up early in the morning and the first thing I thought about was my painting, and I got up from my bed and went to where my painting is and I saw it was not finished. This painting has helped me out with my mom treatment.

My name is eve and I am 22 years old, I work in the palace as a maid, and I am also a painter. my mom's name is Evelyn, I know you will ask about my dad, well my dad is a drunkard at the village square. His name is Eric and he is never at home.

As I got up from my bed and went to my painting, I heard a voice calling me.

"eve!!!" Lizzie called

" Am in my room" I replied as I heard her footsteps on the stairs leading to my room.

" my lady may I come into the mini palace" she said and laughed mockingly.

" you know that is what I call my room right from my childhood Elizabeth" I said knowing that she hates when she is been called by her full name.

Lizzie is my best friend and my childhood friend, she is like a sister to me, she was the one who told me about the maid job at the palace and she works there too.

" And you know I hate the full name, am not queen Elizabeth, I don't even look like one" she said frowning

" Am sorry pumpkin" I said apologising to her.

" let's go to work, you know that the chief maid doesn't like me" she said packing my bag.

" You know what you did Lizzie"I said on the way to the exit of my house.

" she called me Elizabeth and I lost it" she replied

" mom am off to work" I shouted

" ok sweetie" she answered and I went to where she was sitting.

" Please avoid dad when he comes because of your health" I said after kissing her forehead.

" Don't worry" she answered and we left the house.

On our way to the palace, I saw the latest painting brush and I wanted it. running to the store, a masculine hand touched me and said

" I want this brush"

" but I saw it first" I answered

" it doesn't matter" it answered in a rude way.

" eve!!!" Lizzie called

" what is it Lizzie am in the middle of something" I answered.

" we are late for work" she said

"that brush won't last long bet me" I said and with anger I left the store with Lizzie
