Chapter 1: Father
I fall… my limp body succumbs to the gravity and caries me into the pitch darkness of my soul. I have literally fallen from his grace. The maid removes the plate of untouched julienne cut veal steak, from my placemat, while my father glares at me with indescribable disappointment. It was really a warhole those 15 minutes of fame one gets once in a lifetime. This morning my own father has asked me to have lunch with him. I was beyond contented and beamed with joy the whole morning, ditching even Mr. Whiskers, the nano robot I have as an assistant in my lab. He's my most loyal friend, well, obviously he doesn't have much of a choice of friends here.
I was ecstatic, that until I found out why my father had invited me over. The world came crashing down on me and everything I did in my whole life, now seemed ridiculous.
Opsss… do I already sound like a drama queen? Well I really am sometimes, but you see, nobody actually knows my drama. My real drama. I was the outcast of the family, my father had been forced into an arranged marriage back in his youth. His family rudely separated him from his first love. She wasn't of status and his parents never approved their love, while Mom was… ah… I am going to tell you her story another time. The nanny told me that Mom wasn't qualified to bare children, but the desire of making my father happy, the wish of giving him a single reason to spend another night with her and not his mistress, prevailed all doctor's advices and she soon fell pregnant with me. Only that my bringing into this world meant her departure. Her final departure. For once I think she had succeeded in making my father happy.
Only three short months after her death, he married his mistress, his first love Janice and she became my step mother, the only mother I would ever have. In my early days, she did her best to shove me into a corner and let me soak in my own faeces, that until I came of age to be sent to a boarding school, a far, far away boarding school, all the way up to North Wales in England. I was separated from my family while my younger sister benefited of all the love and care of our parents.
I have tried my best to be a good girl, to please them and study well, thinking that maybe through my merits one day they will bring me back home. Well that day never came, but my strive for making father happy never ended. Although I was the spitting image of my father, I have inherited my Mom's character and strong will, to please and make happy the only man in our lives, that never cared.
My relationship with my sister wasn't far from my relationship with my step mother either, she bluntly heated me. She hated my face, my body, my wits, my noble roots. And I hated her, because she had all I ever wanted, my father's and mother's love, while she took it for granted. She grew up to become a complete waste of oxygen. She never grew over her jealousy of me and she would often inflict harmful substances in her body to get the attention, although I never doubted, that she always has had all the attention that ever existed.
While I, on the other hand did everything I could and couldn't to get in their good graces. I studied my whole life and Hell I studied well. After you couldn't keep one anymore in board school, I have returned to the US, well I was an adult already and could afford my own plane ticket. I didn't go home though, my step mother made it clear that I wasn't welcomed. I went to med school instead. My perfect grades from a renowned private school in England shoot me al the way to the top university in the country, here in Boston, where I have settled since.
