"Stop racking your brain; cheating is cheating, the deed has been done. Keep mum about it." The voice whispered in her ear.

Now my only hope is gone, I don't know how I will scale through this..."

"Oh, Bella! I never knew you came to work today, I thought your manager gave you leave?" He asked quite surprised because she just lost her father."Yes, she did sir, but I don't want to stay at home.

This is not the kind of life I want for myself, I cannot even walk freely; you'd see them pointing at me and saying all sorts of filthy things. Honestly, I'm tired, confused, and..."
