Clara Blake.
That's me. The normal girl everyone barely noticed until my stepdad Carl decided that I needed to be his personal punching bag. Everyone knew yet they never decided to do anything about it or help me out of my misery and get me away from this horrid man.
Mum never knew or she pretended not to see anything. I mean she was in love with Carl and after dad I probably couldn't blame her.
You see dad went away to serve his country and not long after we received a death letter, as they call it, telling us that he had been lost to war.
It wasn't long after the letter about dad had come before Carl had moved into mum's life and they got married.
We were a normal happy family up until I had turned six.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
He came into my room after mum went to bed and he just started hitting me. Never where it would be too obvious seen.
When we received the letter from dad that he was coming home after all I was ecstatic. He was going to come and save me from this hell hole that I was in.
Unfortunately, Carl also saw the letter and that night he had decided that he would end me as it would be my fault for everything as I sent the letter to make my mother sad and cry.
My best friend telling me he loves me and dad coming back made my head spin.
Joining the FBI as an agent was fun and all until being kidnapped and rescued by a very handsome prince charming.
Follow along and join me on my story of my chaotic and drama-filled life both in love and work.
