"Since last few years, I have lost every single deal. What is happening? If I get rejected like this then very soon we will come down on road" A man in the last sixty shouted in frustration.

"Of course, you will get rejection because we are living with an unlucky burden. I don't understand why your dad adopted her. She is nothing but a mad girl. I feel sick of her. I feel really ashamed to say she is one of our family members of the society" The woman shouted.

"Then do you think, I love her? Hell no. You do not have any idea how much I hate her. Because of her, I can not invite any guests to my house. Because of her the company still treats me like a major shareholder, not a CEO. Just because my dad gave his half wealth in her name. Now she has the equal right to every wealth like me" The man said

"Then why don't you kill her?" The woman asked

"Do you think I do not think about it? I even hired a man to kill her but then I came to know about the real trick of my dad" The man said.

"And what was the trick, Dad?" Linda his daughter asked from behind

"My dad signed a contract that if she died before 23 then half of our property would be claimed by the orphanage," The man said

"So, is there no way to get our wealth back?" The woman asked

"Yes. There is" The man said

"What is it? Do we need to kill her after she turns 23? She is going to turn 23 in a couple of months" The woman said

'No. According to the contract after her marriage. Her husband can take over her all wealth and he will be the real owner of her wealth. We need to find a man who marries her and then hands over our wealth back to us" The man said

"But why a man will marry this mad girl? And even if he marries then why he will hand over the wealth back to you?' The man asked.

" That is why we need to find a man who knows nothing about her wealth. Who will marry her for her beauty? After her marriage, we will get his sign " The man said

"Dad, we can not marry her off with an educated person. If he is educated then he will try to read the contract paper" Linda said

"You are correct honey. In short, we need to find an illiterate man. Don't care if he's young or old. We just give him some money to marry her. After taking his sign we will get our all wealth" The man said

"But Daddy, will we get this type of man?" Linda asked

"There are thousands of man who lives on the streets. If I offer five or ten thousand they will do anything. Finding a man like this won't be a big matter but the problem is my dad's loyal dog Robert. He will not let this happen. He will ask Elena's opinion. Until Elena turned 23 Robert had the right of power of attorney of her wealth. Also, he is a lawyer. We need to do it carefully" The man said

"Honey, we can do it in his absence," The woman said to him.

"Correct, Nancy. This is a great idea" The man said.

"Now we just need to wait for a few months," Nancy said.

"Yes. And today, Robert is coming here to check on Elena. Before coming him we need to give her the medicine. Mix it in her juice" The man said

"Okay. I will do it. Do not worry about it, Jack" Nancy said when Lina entered the living room.

"Go to her room and bring her here in half an hour," Jack said rudely.

"Yes, sir," Lina said and she was about to go upstairs when Jack spoke up again," Robert is coming today. Like last time do not repeat the mistake of telling him we abuse the mad burden. And if you did, you would see your paralyzed husband under the ground and your son in the wheelchair. Hope you understand"

"Yes, sir," Lina said fearfully and ran upstairs.

At the room

The room was looking like a fairy tale bedroom. The walls of the room were pink in color. There was a large window. The window was also pink in color. Cinderella and sleeping beauty posters are all over the wall. The floor was covered with pink carpet. The floor was full of colors and paintings.

There was a big soft bed middle of the room. The bedsheet, the pillow the quilt were also pink.

The room was truly looking like a fairy tale bedroom. Soon the sun raise up and the sunlight fell on the person who was sleeping on the bed like a princess. She was no other than Elena.

Rubbing her eyes, Elena opened her eyes and smiled looking at the posters. She got up and took  one of her favorite books " Cinderella"

She smiled and started reading the book when she heard a knock at her door.

"Come in, please," Elena said cutely

Soon her nanny entered the room.

"Lina" Elena shouted with so excited and ran towards her.

Lina smiled at her.

"What happened? What makes my princess happy?" Lina asked Elena.

"I saw him" Elena whispered to her like she was telling her the top secret.

"See who, Elena?" Lina asked her

"My prince," Elena said with happiness

"Really? Where did you see him?" Lina asked her and started picking up the painting from the floor..

"In my dream" Elena whispered again.

"Really! What did he tell you?" Lina asked her

"He said, he will come here soon on the white horse," Elena said innocently

Lina smiled at her.

"Of course, he will come soon. And he will be sad if he comes to know you did not get a shower till now. Let's go, you have to take a shower now" Lina said

"Okay," Elena said and ran inside the washroom

Lina prayed to Almighty to keep Elena happy then she took out her clothes and entered the washroom.

After helping her, Lina comes out of the room. She started cleaning the room. After some time, Elena came out.

Lina started drying her hair and then combing her hair, Lina moved back.

"Let's go downstairs. Your daddy is waiting for you" Lina said and Elena pouted sadly.

"No. I will not go. They are bad. Daddy slapped me last night. When my prince comes I will tell him to punish Daddy" Elena said

Hearing this Lina got sad. She knew this family abused Elena but she has no right to say something against it. She is just a server in this mansion. If she tries to go against them then they will take her job. Lina can not leave this job. She has to feed her family.

"It is your medicine time, Elena. And your Robert uncle will come today to meet you" Lina said to her

"Really! Will he bring chocolate for me?" Elena asked

"Of course he will dear. Now let's go" Lina said

"Okay," Elena said and ran outside

"Careful" Lina shouted and followed her.
