"She is still in contact with Dad," Aniya informed Lisa after handing over the dirty dishes to the kitchen boy.
With a shocked face, Lisa spun around, "See? I told you."
After taking a two day off she had joined back the job, but Aniya could see dark circles around her eyes. She thought Lisa was still sick, but Lisa satisfied her by telling her that she was just weak due to the after-effects of her medications.
"I had this impression that they might be crazily in love then it crossed my mind that no sane mother would want to meet a man who tried to ra*pe her daughter."
Lisa had sympathy in her eyes and Aniya hated it. Valerie broke her trust and was still acting as if she loved her and cared for her.
"So, what about your birthday plans?" Lisa asked her and she shrugged with a sarcastic grin.
"Nothing. I’ll spend the day with her as I committed and then I’ll tell her the next morning that I’m leaving," she told her with a sigh and Lisa felt sorry for her, "Lisa. Umm... I need to ask this ... Is... is that offer..." Aniya hesitated a bit, but Lisa got her.
"The one where you are welcome to stay at my place? Of course, silly. The offer is always open," she slapped her arm, "Just enjoy your day with her, and then I’ll be at your place the next morning to pick you up."
"No need," she gave Lisa a tightlipped smile, "You’re already doing a lot. I don’t have much to pack anyways," she picked up the freshly washed soup bowls and brought them out of the kitchen.
Lisa could see that she was angry. Before she could ask Aniya to place the bowls carefully, Aniya had almost dumped them into the trolley as a result one ceramic bowl got a crack.
"Damn!" she cursed and looked up to where Mr. Ramsey was giving her, those killing looks.
"She isn’t well," Lisa tried to explain to him in a cheerful voice, "I think she was about to lose consciousness. Right, Aniya?" she looked at Aniya for confirmation.
Aniya whose jaw was set in a stubborn resolve, shook her head, "No. I’m perfectly alright. It’s just that I was angry, and I didn’t know where to let out my anger."
Lisa closed her eyes in annoyance and shook her head. Aniya never got that daring ever since she met her. It seemed like some devil had gotten into her.
***
The consequences were what Lisa had expected.
Mr. Ramsey sent Aniya home as a punishment. He also issued her a warning that if she tried to take out her rage on the restaurant’s property, he would kick her ass out of that job permanently.
Aniya stormed down the side of the road, her shoes scuffing against the pavement as she angrily kicked a pebble ahead of her.
Sent me home for breaking just a stupid bowl. Who does that? She grumbled under her breath, shoving her hands into her jacket pockets.
As she walked, a soft giggle broke through her disturbed mind. She looked up and spotted a woman holding the hand of a little girl, not older than three or four.
Aniya’s steps slowed down as she watched them. Reality hit her like anything.
Why couldn’t I have all of that? No love. No sweet words.
In her life, there was only one thing she faced and that was abuse.
It was Lisa who tried to make her realize that she was the one who was supposed to break the cycle.
"Then what I’m waiting for?" she asked herself, "Mom needs Alaric! Fine. I need my independence. By midnight, I’ll be eighteen. I’ll stick to my word and spend the day with Mom. After that, it will be Sangua City."
Did they even care about me?
Aniya could again feel that disgusting steel taste in her mouth, "Don’t you dare vomit!" she told herself sternly, "Get over them. Just one more day and you’re out of here." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
