I am Alicia Anderson or should I address myself as Alicia Carter.
Well, that b*stard of a father abandoned my mom and sent us to Country C. It happened when I was 13.
My parents both lived happily and I was also happy too. But all of a sudden, a woman came to our house and dad started abusing mom even in front of me.
One day, I overheard dad and the woman speaking
" John, you need to get that woman and her child out of this house. She is just making my day hectic. You know very well that I love you and I am bearing your child", I heard a female voice and I knew it was that woman.
" Claire, I am very aware of what is happening. It is not very easy to get Alice and Alicia out of this house and you also know very well that I love you", dad said to coax the woman he called Claire
'Claire, Ah what a disgusting name', I thought.
Even though I was 13, I understood everything since I was reading novels at the library.
Where there would be a 'third party' in a relationship. I never understood that word till now. Well, I was considered as a bad girl to be reading romance novels at this age but I loved it when mafia gangs and stuff like that were mentioned in it.
Now, my mom and I were sent away by the woman named Claire when dad was not at home.
" Get out of John's life and never come back", Su said.
"Mom, what is happening", I feigned ignorance.
Mom gave me a bitter smile concealing her tears and said," Nothing dear, dad wants us to go live somewhere for some time as he is dealing with some business matters"
' Even with this, Mom still defended dad, no he does not qualify to be my father. Huh. Whatever love is!', I thought.
I vowed that day never to trust a man let alone love him.
I would be ruthless and play with their hearts but never give mine to them.
This vengeance in me burned and consumed me completely, before I could realize, I was apart of a mess called the underworld. How I got involved in it is a story for another day. My real name was Li Xue. I had an English name because my father was American. Li Xue was the name my mother had given me. All I know is I'm back to take what's mine by any means and at all costs.
