Her World

While Justin was thinking about saving his life from her, Elina was smirking continuously sitting on her chair. Yeah, scaring people away, she loved that. It was more like she was some creature who was feed on fear.

After enduring what happened to her in the past, she trusted nobody now. She didn’t believe in love, nor luck.

Today's Elina was someone who was burned in the fire of pain,misery, sorrow continuously that life threw at her. She was once broken ,cheated, used by others. It was the experience of loosing each time & the burns of agony that made her strong today.

For example; gold is purified only after it is burned thoroughly , today's Elina was someone to be compared with that.

The new Elina was ruthless, she was domineering, short-tempered. The girl who used to loose in the past was now long gone, the woman who was left now was a winner.

The Elina who once smiled, who once cared about others more than herself, the one that knew to love people was no more now.

She even changed her name to get rid of her past self entirely.

But what happened to that old Elina? What happened in the past that turned her into someone completely different?

Let's turn back the wheel of time to know about her.

~~Early Life Of Elina~~

Elina was an adorable child since her early childhood. She always managed to be in the center of attention because of her bold & good looks.

Her parents, specially her father treated her like a princess. Her life was going well untill highschool . Elina was a sweetheart to everyone due to her helping nature. She had many friends in the school & neighbourhood.

Elina's father was not some billionare but they lived quite a good life. Elina knew that her father's family disowned him because of marrying her mother. After that he built his own empire by his hard work, she admired his father for that. Robert Knight was someone more than a superhero in Elina's life.

The black days in her life began when her father died by a heart attack. She still has the fresh memory, Elina & her mother Emily stood beside the tomb wearing black. The people who had came to attend the ceremony were leaving the cemetry after paying their regards to the dead.

The thought of her father being no more haunted Elina to her core. She felt the foundation of her life gone. Her legs felt weak but she was struck on the same spot, her glance was lifeless, lost.

Elina's mother, Emily knight sat on the ground, unable to support her body anymore with her legs which felt like they have been shot several times . She let out a loud cry that she was holding inside her. Elina sat down beside her mother & hugged her tightly.Both the mother & daughter cried untill the sorrow in their hearts lightened a little.

From that moment, Elina's life changed. The missing father figure left an impact on both the mother & the daughter's life.

Soon in absence of a leader, their company got bankrupted.Nobody helped them. Not even the so called friends they had around them.That very moment, Elina realized people had many faces! The cruel reality started hitting on her.

Emily Knight was an ordinary person, she was not much educated. She had to make a crucial decision for the only family she had them.So, they shifted from San Francisco to Connecticut.

Emily bought a good house there with the money that was left. To her, the house was more like an investment for Elina's futute.

Elina was admitted to a new school. The tragedy of Elina's life turned her from Cheerful & friendly person to a silent & non-approachable one. The new school was nothing like before. Elina was bullied continuously for not having any friends at school.

Elina knew her mother worked hard to pay her fees, in order to help her mother she used to work part time in a restaurant.

Elina was that one high school poor kid who didn't wear lip gloss nor designer clothes, she was rather nerdy girl wearing old fashioned cloths.

They had to struggle through the month to get her school fees.Elina's mother was always concerned about her daughter's future. She never left a chance of gathering some savings.

Elina's sole motive was to get a scholarship to the business school that only one student gets every year.

It was still 3.5 years for that but little by little Elina started preparing herself.She would never let her grades fall. No matter how hard her day was, she would always study regularly to attain a flawless grade.

One year passed away in a blink of an eye.

A few months ago, Elina's mother started seeing a guy named James. In the begining, James was very friendly & helpful to Elina. Elina was also happy seeing her mother smiling again.

Later on, James shifted into their house. Days were passing quite well.

Untill one night, when Elina's mother had to leave for San Fransisco urgently because Elina's maternal grandpa was ill. Emily wanted to take Elina with her but Elina had an important exam she couldn’t afford to miss the next day.

So, Emily had no other options but to leave Elina with James. She hugged Elina, assuring her she'll be back soon.

Then Emily turned towards the door, James gave her mouthful kiss & guaranteed on taking good care of Elina.

Elina & James stood on the doorway untill the cab left the driveway. For some unknown reason Elina felt a little uneasy under James's gaze. But she tried to send it away while she gave James a tight lipped smile.

“I’m going to study now. “ with that Elina quickly ran upstairs. The piercing gaze she was receiving made her shiver while an unknown fear started evolving inside her.

Trusting her instincts Elina locked the door, she sighed feeling a bit relaxed after that. Elina went to the bathroom & splashed good amount of water on her face to calm the adrenaline rush she was feeling. Then she went back to her room & started studying for the test she had the next day.
