The city of Ussra, was the most traditional city on the entire continent
Unlike other places where children go to school then university and get a job. In this city only the boys get to attend college and then get a job, start their own business or inherit their family company
On the other hand the girls only study normally till the age of 12 or 7th grade
After they turn 13, they are sent to a special training school
Here the girls are harshly and strictly trained to please their future owner's
At the age of 18 they are sold to men in the city. While maximum girls are sold outside the city or even auctioned world-wide.
I was sitting in the garden reading, just then my mother came
Milla
Melissa, master is calling you to his study.
Melissa Patricks
Yes Ma'am
I kept the book aside and followed her to my father's study
My family is strict, not just mine but even my classmates
We don't call our parents 'Mom' or 'Dad' instead we call then Ma'am and Master.
But it depends on them too
one of my friends calls her father Daddy.
I am never called into the study, this is my third time going there
First when I was 6 yrs, before joining boarding school
and Second when I was 10yrs old, punished for stealing cookies from the kitchen
Melissa Patricks
( I wonder why am I being called, my grades are all A's. Highly doubt I am going to be punished)
A wave of anxiety washed over me, I suddenly remember my elder sister. 2 yrs ago she left for high school but rarely ever came back home. Our vacations were never during same months, so I never saw her. I miss her
As I was about to climb the stairs I felt someone looking at me.
I turned to see Ma'am Kate. My father's 2nd wife.
I bowed my head in respect and went upstairs.

*nervously fidgeting *
Milla
Do you remember what I have always told you?
Melissa Patricks
Yes Ma'am
Melissa Patricks
Never look up unless I am asked
and doing anything that I have been told.
Milla
Good you remember
*touches her cheeks*
Melissa Patricks
*startled*
(For as long as i remember My mother have never shown me affection, so why is she touching me so tenderly)
Milla
Melissa don't disappoint me.
You have to make me proud, Kate and Diana have received generous rewards as their daughters did amazing.
You have to be 100% perfect. Do you understand?
Melissa Patricks
(What did my elder sisters do, that my dad was proud if them?)
My hand shivered
but all I could do was mumble
Melissa Patricks
Yes...I understand
Milla
I will be downstairs
knock before entering
