Chapter One

Tritiya walked into her family house to see letters full of bills scattered around the house. She sighed as reality sank in. Her father's restaurant has been going downhill for the past year: less customers, hardly making a measly £200 a day resulting in bills not being paid and going overtime. Her parents have been so stressed recently after getting a letter from the bank for them to file bankruptcy for the restaurant. Her father walked into the room wearing a crumpled shirt and some dirty shorts. His face was unshaven and he had more wrinkles by the minute. "Hello dear come help me with these bills. I have to get these paid by the end of the week or else they will add interest which means more money."

Tritiya removed her shoes and walked over to her dad and sat down next to him. She opened up a letter and read out the money which her father owned. "£174.50." "£270." "£365."

Her father named Ryland tapped the numbers into the calculator and gave a sigh of distress. "Great I owe £809.50. I only have £600 in my bank account, we'll have to go into our savings and there isn't a lot left in there either."

Tritiya looked at her dad, her heart aching from the feeling of being helpless. She hated coming home late and finding her dad struggling with the bills over and over again. She picked up the courage and spoke. "Dad?"

Ryland looked up and faced his daughter," Yes my angel?"

"I'll find some money and help your business get back on track. I promise!"

Her father sighed softly and put his hand on her shoulder, "My daughter...you don't have to do that I can cope."

"But dad you're struggling! I'm 20 it's about time I start helping you. I'll find a well paying job," she softened her voice, "You will not argue ok?"

Ryland gave a small smile and reluctantly gave in, "Ok then...Thank you my daughter." He hugged her.

"You don't have to thank me." she replied and hugged her father back. "I'll go job hunting tomorrow."

"Ok then. Go get yourself a bite to eat, I cooked dinner."

"Ok dad thank you!" She got up and went to the kitchen. She plated herself a bowl of spaghetti and began to eat. She pulled out her laptop and began looking for jobs until she found one she liked. "Aha!"
