In a far far away land, but not that far away - just a little far away as in just - I mean it's not far but not that near either so just whatever. A big 3 storey house was standing tall far from the home of everyone. It was own by a Businessman which is Cindy's father, it was built together with her late Mom who passed away because of a disease. Cinderella is very young when it happened but the memory with the three of them together is still intact and still clear as the deep blue ocean in the sea, she will never forget it. Her love for her mother will never change even if her father found a new woman in his life.
Her Father Marcus was so devasted when her Wife died. But life must go on and his love for her daughter Ella make him stronger. He then later decided that Ella needs a mother figure. He thought, a mother is needed to make his Ella experience what it is like to have a mother again. And in his mind, he will do anything to make Ella the happiest kid that exist in the world. Marcus found a woman that he think will be a perfect mother for Ella. This woman has a child of her own that's why for sure she has a lot of experience already in taking care of a child.
Tremaine, the name of Cindy's new mother. She has two child which is Anastasia and Drizella who is very much bitchy and sharp tongued kid. They act like a good kids in front of Cindy's father but Cindy's know better. They act all high and mighty like some sort of a Royal Princess but they can't really keep their stinky mouth and bitchy side. And Cindy's is the absorber of this two bitchy kids. Not only that, even her step Mother Tremaine is also doing her part as the most bitchy Stepmom. She's making her run errand like they don't have servant to do it for them.
Cindy's is like living in hell with her new found mother in her daughters and that continue until today that she is 19 years old. Her father Marcus still has no idea about what's going inside his house and how these three, treat Cindy's when he's out and has to attend some business matter. But Cindy's who's very kind doesn't really care about it. She still enjoy doing some errand - maybe she's just too kind and doesn't know the word 'get mad' that's why she's just accepting it all. Everyday she will clean the room of her sisters and stepMom. Including some house chores that is so heavy for her young body.
One time, Cindy's heard her Father and stepmom talking about the business that her father has to attend again. He just came back from his 1 week journey the other day but then he has to go somewhere again. This saddened Cindy's not because she will experience again the harsh treatment from her sister and stepmom. She's sad because she don't have much time to bond with her father. She really want to be with him and do the things that they usually do when he is not this busy, before when her Mom was still alive. But she can't do anything about it.
She knows that her father just want to escape from the sadness that he has in his heart caused by the death of her mother. It happened a long time ago, but even her can't just move on. Both of them was succumb by their own sadness that Cindy's feel like her father is distancing his self from her. While she, she just want to be happy just like the old day.

The time that his father has to go on a journey again arrive. She's a bit sad because he will miss him again. They didn't really bond the time when he's with us. He's still busy with his business.
"Ella, I have to go again. Take care of your Mom and sister while I'm away. I'll be gone for a month this time."
"I will miss you father." Ella sob while he hug her father.
"I will miss you all for sure, just take care okay."
"Yes father, I will!"
And with that, they bid farewell to him.

And her hell started again thanks to these mother and daughters tandem. They really make her life a living hell. She is so tempted to say some words to them but she's just stopping herself as she still have a little respect to them. And she's thinking more about his father who's on a journey.
But everything change when he heard a news about his father. He was caught in some accident and it killed him on the spot. Ella, who's devastated and can't think straight because of what happened was again succumb with sadness. And because lf that she can't do anything in the house. While she is mourning for her Dad's death, the three on the other hand is busy with their life like her father didn't die. Like they don't care at all and she is the only one grieving.
While she is crying hard and thinking of all the happy memories with his father the three was busy partying. The audacity of these bitches. It was as if they are happy to what happened to his Father. And that make her feel mad. It is unfair that his loving father is being treated with this three like nothing happened. It makes her feel fuming mad. She can't think straight, maybe because of sleepless night she experience and because she can't eat properly because shes mourning, one time that she heard a nasty words from her step sister. She did the unexpected.
And when she finally come to her senses she can't take the scene that she saw.
Everything is blurry and she can't remember anything. The blood on her face and on her hands with a knife on it is the only thing that she saw when everything comes to light.
"Oh heaven, what did I do?"
