After everyone left I quickly got dressed and went into town to fulfill everything that was on the list. Although I hated Hilda and her daughters, I knew what Hilda was capable of if I disobeyed her. I mean really, I had to depend on her for college tuition, a place to live.
Okay you're probably wondering who I am. Well my name is Maya Shawl. I am seventeen years old and currently a senior in high- school... well at least I will be a senior as soon as summer vacation is over with. Now this isn't a story where I had a perfect life before with my dad and mom, and then my mom died and dad remarried then he died and left with me a mean stepmother and two ugly stepsisters. No, actually I never knew my real parents. I grew up a orphan and when I turned 12, Hilda adopted me. Yes, I thought too that I would finally have a family, but no, she only adopted me so she could have a free maid. So for the past 5 years my life has been nothing but commands, cleaning, washing clothes, and having to see their ugly faces each day.
As for Mr. Charmont and his son, Christopher, well I've never met them before. All I know is that they are very rich and live in somewhat of a mansion. I guess Hilda is trying to remarry or marry off one of the girls so that they have access to the Charmont's money, which I think is absurd since neither Hilda, nor the daughters is even slightly pretty.
