I cried as I bathed, not because my father didn't come to rescue me, but because I had learned to swim in just thirty minutes.
Remember, despite my wealthy father hiring a private swimming coach for 20,000 dollars, I never learned it.
My name is Felicity. My father is a rich man, married countless times. In our family of twenty children, I am deemed the most foolish.
He couldn't fathom having a slow-witted, stunted child like me.
One day, holding my DNA test, he burst into laughter.
"I always said I, Malcolm, couldn't have a child this dumb!"
But his laughter turned into a green tinge of envy.
Since then, I was cast aside. My allowance vanished, and my private room too, as I moved to the basement.
Each morning, I cooked, swept, washed clothes, serving the entire household.
I asked Grandma, "Why doesn't Dad like me?"
Grandma glared, "Ask your mother."
I shook my head. Grandma's dementia had flared up again.
My mother had passed away for ten years.
From then on, I walked on eggshells, working tirelessly, afraid of displeasing Father.
I thought my life would continue this way, but then, I was kidnapped.
My peaceful existence was abruptly shattered.
