“This is your sister flora,Rick said to his second daughter flora
“Hello o sister”, flora said to Melissa
Celine shouted at flora not to call her sister,that she is not her sister,but little flora insisted that her daddy said Melissa was her sister,but Celine rejected her daughter’s words,and warned her that Melissa was not her sister, telling the little girl that, Melissa was just a street girl,which made Rick furious and he shouted at Celine to stop making the girls hate on themselves,she should make them love themselves,but Celine did not want to hear any of that,Rick left and went to his bedroom.

Melissa felt and knew Celine did not like her,so this made her sad and sober,Rick came out dressed ,about going to a meeting that he was called for,Celine pretended to like Melissa in Rick’s front.
“What’s wrong Melissa”,he asked after seeing how sad Melissa was
“Oh I think she is a bit nervous,been in a new house and meeting new people , that’s why”,Celine said pretentiously,while she eyed Melissa at the side of her eye

“Oh don’t cry my beautiful princess”,Rick said to Melissa
“Daddy she is your princess,what about me”,flora said sadly
“Oh dear,you both are my princesses”,Rick said and pulled flora to his side while he carried Melissa on his shoulder petting her not to cry

“I don’t like you,my mother said you are bad,and I won’t be a sister to a bad girl”,said flora to Melissa
“Oh that’s not true,am a good girl,daddy said so,am your sister”, Melissa told flora sadly
Flora collected her toys from Melissa,but Celine told her to give it back to Melissa,that her father will get a new one for her,that she should not touch what Melissa already touch,so she won’t be bad like Melissa,Celine took flora and went to bathe and feed her,but left Melissa hungry and starved in the sitting room, Melissa cried and wished her mother to come take her from there, but Anne was gone for good.
