Join your dead parents ( 2)

Zoey who had been cursed to die was unable to hear whatever they were saying or what was happening around her. Her body had gone cold and numb.

Did they hate her that much to an extent of finding her a burden in her own dad's house and blatantly wishing death upon her?

This wasn't her family!

A bunch of cold hearted wolves.

Greedy monsters who wouldn't stop at anything till she was completely broken. Or dead.

She felt a stabbing pain that pierced her heart leaving her suffocated that she found it difficult to breath.

Trying to swallow the food in her mouth, she almost got choked when it got stuck on her throat. Her eyes reddened as warm tears threatened to fall.

She took a deep breath while clutching her chest, struggling to overcome the suffocating feeling. She would not cry in front of everyone or let those pathetic people witness her despair. She wouldn't allow them mock her any longer.

Ignoring everyone, she elegantly placed her utensils together and stood up.

" I'm full, please excuse me. "

As she walked, her face was as calm as still water.

Before she could climb the stairs, she was stopped.

" Little sis, all my friends are busy today. Will you please accompany me to the mall to buy some gowns? Instead of locking yourself up for the whole day, maybe we can even find one for you too, pretty please... " Jamie started making cute faces at her.

Zoey took a deep breath trying to control herself from punching the white lotus. She paused but her fists were tightly clenched.

Did she look like someone who was in the mood for shopping?

They just shredded her heart into million pieces for goodness sake!

That b*tch was just adding fuel to the fire by flaunting before her.

She needed to reject her as soon as possible before the old hags forced her.

" I'm busy. "

She coldly retorted her back still facing them.

" But little sis, there's no school today. You're still angry with me? But I already said I'm sorry... "

The pampered princess's eyes welled up. She was chewing her lips with a sad face trying to make Zoey sound petty in front of everyone.

" Too bad, I had made prior arrangements. "

Zoey rolled her eyes making her way upstairs to her room.

Her room was located at the 2nd floor while the rest lived on the third floor. But she was okay with it at least she wouldn't have to listen to their nonsense all everyday.

Once in she locked her bedroom door and threw her tired self on the bed. She lied face down on her pillow sniffing her favorite hair shampoo scent. The fruity scent helped to calm her juggled mind.

After some time she laid on her back using her hands as the pillow while gazing at the white ceiling absentmindedly.

She may have feigned strength or indifference but the truth was that it hurt her to the core. For 3 whole years she had been pretending to be okay but her already sick heart was falling apart day by day.

She was just a 19 years old college girl who had lost her whole family in a greasy road accident.

She lost her dad, mum and younger brother when she was just 17. At that time, she was doing her college entrance exam when the three had gone out only to meet the fatal accident.

Their car had a head on collision with a huge truck on a bridge before it plunged into the deep waters of the river.

Before rescue measures could be taken, her dad and younger brother, Allan were already dead. Her mom was still fighting for her survival in the ICU after being rushed to the hospital when a pulse was detected on her.

The police report said that their car had lost control probably due to over speeding but Zoey always doubted the authenticity of those reports.

Mr Wayne Tanner, her dad was a very careful driver especially when he was driving with his family. He would never risk their lives for anything.

Her guess was that somebody must have tampered with their car.

Her guesses were confirmed when the hungry wolves killed her mother while still in the ICU, the following day after the accident by withdrawing her oxygen supply leaving her suffocating to death.

Just like that, a cheery young girl was left as an orphan. Her dreams and visions were shattered leaving her hopeless about life.

Her life had no meaning. She was just a living skeleton. Waking up and sleeping, living each day meaninglessly awaiting her time to disappear from the world.
