Chapter 15. Youth
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Adrianna was growing into a beautiful young lady. Her skin glowed under the rays of sunshine as she sat in the garden reading a book. William Shakespeare's Macbeth. She loved to read, it helped her escape reality. She was a prisoner in her own home, homeschooled five days a week, and the weekends spent at her grandparents house learning business tactics from the best tutors in England. They were flown to New York to tutor her. She was intrigued by business analysing and stock market figures.
She also enjoyed painting. She was artistic and creative just like her mother. She enjoyed the outdoors and often painted the garden scenery. She gifted her father for his birthdays but he always just threw them out without even looking at it.
He hated looking at her, why would he want to look at a painting of hers, or anything that belonged to her. He just counted down the days to get rid of her. He had no bond with her. They just shared the same blood.
