i'm sofia anderson and my husband leo anderson. he married me out of spite because i looked like his former lover "emelia woods" who he loved deeply but couldn't marry because of his parents.he was cold hearted towards me but a sweetheart to rose. i had an illness that made me have hours left. i died but he doesn't realize.
i lay on the bed, breathless as blood stained my clothes, lily leo's daughter and mine, holding my hands tenderly. "mommy i'm hungry.." she said sitting next to me. i didn't respond. my soul watching over her as my heart ached, lily got up to the phone. realizing she was too small, she got a stool to reach the telephone. as she finally reached it her small hands barely holding the phone as she dialed the numbers. it was leo's number. incase of emergencies i taught her to dial 911 and leos number. she called and leo answered. hope emerged from my heart. "what do you want? i'm busy go call sofia." he said coldly, but with sofias child emma he was the most perfect father you could ever imagine.
"mommy isn't waking up and i'm hungry.." lily said teary eyed as her stomach grumbled, "go to sofia then" he said not even paying attention to what lily said. it was emma's birthday today. he lavishly prepared a party for her, gowns,ballons, and cake. but he couldn't even attend his OWN child's needs. he hung up as they celebrated emmas birthday. lily giving-up went to my room. and fell asleep.
hours later**
leo went home after hours, as he noticed the air empty and cold. everytime he went home a home cooked meal was ready for him warm and cozy. he grunted as he went to the kitchen seeing no food. he sighed as he opened the bedroom door. seeing me lifeless but my face was covered by the blanket. "daddy.." lily woke up rubbing her eyes her clothes splattered with blood. as my eyes sparked to atleast let him know i'm dead and take care of lily. "your mom let you play with paint and haven't fed you? shes worthless." he said taking off his coat going to the kitchen to look for some leftovers. he fed lily but was too angry to even sleep with the same bed as me.
he left home after that and didn't come home till evening. but thankfully lily found the leftover food leo didn't eat after he didn't come home last week. and was able to eat. my heart ached seeing lily alone and hungry, i wanted to hug her and tell her its okay that i'm there for her. the smell of rotten flesh finally began emerging as lily covered her nose. she remembered the number '911' if anythings wrong. she dialed it. "my mommy isn't waking up and its smelly.." lily responded. "wheres your dad?" the cop questioned. "he's busy." "can you tell me your adress?", i've taught lily everything she needed to knoe to survive. because in a place lilr this. i couldn't tell if she'd even make it with leo's neglect. finally after 30 minutes the cops arrived. the rotten smell was disgusting and unbarable. as the copes see lily passed out because of the smell. as they checked her pulse and confirmed she was alright. they found me dead as flies were flying ontop of my body
MINUTES LATER**
"Mr anderson right?" the cop said as leo looks confused. "yes. did my wife cause any trouble?" how bold of him to assume. my heart broke into a million pieces hearing him assume i did something. was i ever a problem to him? i did everything a wife should do. everything. "your wife's body was found rotting in the bed. it seems like shes been dead since yesterday." it all made sense. i was dead. tears went up his eyes. he doesn't know why. he maybe grown a fondness of me? i don't know. but my time's up.
