" No daddy you can't do this to me" Alexandra screamed, crying.
" you will stay locked up" Edward Smith shouted as he locked the door to Alexandra's room.
" Mum! Mum!mum help me!" Alexandra was screaming with all her might, as she clung to the handle of her bedroom door.
She began to knock on the door with her fists. " No daddy you can't lock me up! nooooooooooooooo!".
Her mother who was stopped outside her Alexandra's room, with her husband Edward, lowered her head to hide the tears that had started to roll down her cheeks.
Alexandra was born out of a pure and passionate love between her mother, and her mother's high school boyfriend.
Unfortunately, he mysteriously lost his life in a car accident, when Alexandra's mother was carrying Alexandra's Pregnancy.
Alexandra's maternal grandparents, forced Alexandra's mother to marry Edward Smith, to save the image and name of their family.
Edward smith is the son of a business partner of alexandra's maternal grandfather.
In return of this marriage, Alexandra's maternal grandfather allocated five percent of his dairy company shares to Edward's father.
Edward never liked Alexandra's mother, nor Alexandra.
He had accepted them only, because of the percentage share of the company of alexandra's maternal grandfather, that his father had put in his name to motivate him to marry Alexandra's mother.
Alexandra's mother knew that Edward Smith didn't love her and her daughter, because of his coldness towards them.
But she never let Alexandra know that Edward isn't her real father.
Edward smith left the entrance to Alexandra's room, followed by Laura his wife, Alexandra's mother.
Alexandra stopped screaming, when she heard the footsteps moving away from the entrance to her room.
She dropped to the floor and began to cry softly. Her hair had closed her face. She curled up on herself.
She was of a short height like her mother. She had taken her mother's blond hair as well.
But her face was different from her mother's.
She had beautiful hazel eyes, a mouth small and pink like that of a newborn. Her nose was straight and long and made her look like a princess of a fairy tale.
Alexandra's body was shaking. Her long blond hair was covering her , like a woolen sheet.
" Why! why ! why!" she kept repeating it to herself, crying.
She couldn't understand her parents. Why were they against her romantic relationship with Anthony, her boyfriend.
She would soon be 18. And all the young girl of her age have boyfriends.
Besides, her mother was the one who always taught her that, love was one of the most beautiful things in this world.
And now that she had come to meet the person, who made her discover the intensity and beauty of love, both her parents were against it.
" Is it wrong to love?" alexandra felt deeply hurt and clueless
She got up from the floor and went to pick up her favorite teddy bear. A big white and pink teddy bear. She took it in her arms and sat down on the floor.
She began to talk to her teddy bear, like when she was a child and her father had punished her for something stupid she had done
Edward Smith came out of the house and headed towards his car to go his company.
Few hours ago, he was having lunch with a business partner in a restaurant, not far from the company, when he saw Alexandra entering the restaurant, with the same young man he had forbidden her to go out with.
He had dropped everything he was doing, went and catch her and sent her home, then locked her in her room.
" What a little fool! i just cancelled an important meeting because of her!!" Edward Smith face was red with anger.
He got into his car and set off with a bang, to exit the courtyard of his residence .
The guard who was opening the gate for him, hurriedly opened it and stepped aside to avoid being hit by the car.
Alexandra's mother locked herself in her room once again to cry. She didn't know what to do to bring out the grief that had come over her.
Alexandra had fallen asleep on the floor, holding her teddy bear tightly against her chest. The house had become silent.
" Alexa ! alexa! " alexandra opened her eyes then closed them again, thinking that the voice she heard was not real.
" Alexa ! alexa! " The voice was heard once again.
Alexandra opened her eyes and got up. She sat on the floor.
" Tony! is that Tony's voice? "alexandra wondered.
" How is that possible? " She opened her eyes widely in surprise.
She got up and walked slowly, puzzled , to her bedroom's window. She reached the window and stopped to look out .
She began to rub her eyes , to get rid of the illusory vision she had just had. She removed her hands from her eyes , but the vision was still there.
" Tony!!! is that really you?" asked Alexandra with her small pinky mouth opened in a funny manner.
" Yes it's me alexa. i managed to get in when the guard opened the gate, for your father to come out with his car." Anthony replied ,looking left and right, to check whether someone was coming his way."
Father locked me in my room. He left with the key" Alexandra added with a sad face.
Anthony was about to speak when he heard someone coming.
" Alexa i have to go now. But I promise you that I will find a way to get you out of here" He let out before running to escape from the guard who was running towards him.
Anthony managed to dribble past the guard and run to the gate. He opened it and left the residence , before the guard could get to the gate.
Alexandra went back inside the room and sat on her bed. She opened the drawer of the nightstand from her bed. She picked up the digital camera her mother had given her at christmas.
She had only used it to record the Christmas party that her mother had organized.
She began to watch the video of the party, that she had recorded . Alexandra hit the Pause button as soon as the video came over her singing. She had just had an idea to get the pain and anger out of her heart.
She pulled out the Christmas party video, then hit the record button, to start a new recording. She began immediately to sing the song " if i was a boy" of American Singer Beyoncé.
