SOFIA'S POV
Am making breakfast for my family
I consider them my family but they clearly don't consider me as theirs even though we share some DNA
" Hey you"
Came my rude cousin's voice
"After you are done making breakfast make yourself useful and go iron my blouse"
It was more of a command than a request
But am not surprised
Am this family's personal maid
I cook
Clean the house
Do the laundry
Wash the dishes
Get insulted
Get beaten
Am used to all of that
This is how my life has been ever seen my parents died 13 years ago
When my loving and caring parents passed away when I was 8, I was sent to come live with my uncle and aunty
They treated me like an outsider
They still do
They gave me work that an 8 year old shouldn't be doing while they pampered their own daughter Alexina treating her like she was a princess.
Alexina being the same age as me still treats me like am less superior than her
I have been her personal slave for as long as I can remember
My uncle and aunty ain't any better
They say am a burden to them and that I should work in the house to pay for my rent and food
They also beat me and call me names
Saying that I should have died with my parents and am nothing but a parasite
It hurts having your own family treat you like trash but sometimes there's nothing you can do about it
"Yes Alexina I'll iron your blouse" I politely said
"You better whore"
And with that she walked away
_____________________
I was serving breakfast for everybody when my aunt walked in
"Stop bending you stupid girl I can clearly see your underwear from how short your dress is"
She scolded
Why is she scolding me?
It's not my fault that the dress is short
She refused to buy me clothes so I wear her daughter's old rags which happen to be extra tight on me because she already likes her clothes tight and short
To be honest am very curveous
My breasts are big
My ass is percky and huge
And am not slim
Well
Am not fat either
Am just there between those two
So when I put on Alexina's clothes
They tend to be very tight on me because she's slim
Am thankful that she's taller than me by a few inches am 5'1 and she's 5'7
Because of this height difference the dress am wearing reaches my mid thigh
If she was any shorter this dress could not be a dress but a blouse on my curvy and thick body
"It's not my fault aunt" I defended myself
"You refused to buy me clothes"
"Like that's my problem, you should buy your own stuff
You are 21 not 5 years old" she spat
How was I going to buy things for myself when I don't even work
It's not like I don't want to look for a job but I can't work at the same time do everything in this house
Like I said
Am the maid
And if I don't do my work correctly, I get punished
I could work at a cafe or diner and get a few bucks to buy personal stuff for myself. Working at a cafe or diner is as far as I can afford to work as I haven't gone to college
My uncle and aunty refused to pay my college fees but their daughter goes to a nearby college
She's majoring on fashion and design
Sometimes I wish I was her
It has always been my dream to be nurse
But I guess my dreams aren't coming true anytime soon
