THE CRUEL WORLD

Ben introduced her to his parents.

Ben.....Mum, she is my wife, Eleanor.

Mum....As if i wasnt there at the wedding, well, hurry up and make me lunch.

Dad.....She really is beautiful, i like her.

Ben....Not now mum, we are going to spend time alone for now.

Mum....Fine, but remind her that she is a house wife and she doesnt have to go back to working.

Ben took her to there room but his mum didnt like Eleanor.After a few days, Ben went to work and Eleanor stayed home to do all the house work.

Mum.....I want a grand child soon, if you fail to give me one....hahaha...things will be hard for you then.

Eleanor.....Dont worry mum.

Mum....Okay,i will be waiting and you have only two weeks.

Eleanor....What?

Mum....Am not repeating myself.

After weeks,Eleanor failed to get pregnant and the doctor told her that she is barren.She told her husband.

Ben.....Its okay, there has to be a way.

Eleanor....But...i promised your mum.

Ben....Dont cry please, it will be fine, just ignore her.

Eleanor cried for a whole night, Ben went to work the next day.

Mum....I overheard your conversation with my son and i know that you cant bear any children, what a loss!

Eleanor....Am sorry mum.

Mum....Its not your fault but i cant understand you, your a waste!

Anna went and visited her since she never visited her new house.

Anna....Wow! They really are very wealth, i wish i also lived in such a house.

Eleanor.....Its not easy staying here.

Anna....I know, marriage is about good and bad, you will be fine.

Eleanor.....I wish, but i cant even have kids, my husband will soon live me for someone who will give him kids.

Anna....Calm down, am here.

Anna admired Eleanor's life.She went home and thought hard.

Anna.....She is living a good life but she is still ungrateful.I should use this chance and give her dear husband a child, then i will be the one to live that good life.

Anna became jelous and wanted to have her bestfriend's everything.

Mum.....Was that your friend?

Eleanor.....Yes mum.

Mum.....Lets invite her here again.

Eleanor.....Okay, but why?

Mum....Because she is your friend.

Eleanor....Thanks mum.

Eleanor invited Anna again to her house and had lunch with Eleanor and her mum in law.

Mum.....Eleanor, go and serve us some juice too.

Eleanor.....Okay mum.

She left.

Mum.....Young lady, meet me at the moon river in the evening, i want to talk to you.

Anna.....Huh? Okay.

Eleanor knew nothing about it, they met.

Mum.....Your a perfect match for my son and i would like to make a proposal.

Anna....What do you want?

Mum.....I want you to seduce my son and give me a grand child soon, i will pay you good money.I will make you my daughter in law and give you a good life everyone will be jelous of.

Anna.....What...about Eleanor?

Mum.....Who cares about her? She is useless and am giving you a chance here.Think about yourself, not her.

Anna....I will do it.

Mum.....Good.

Anna didnt hesitate to agree because it was her wish already.Ben went to a business trip and on his way, he found Anna standing alone.

Ben....Hy, whats the matter?

Anna.....I lost control over my horse and it ran away.

Ben....Where are you heading to?

Anna.....To London.

Ben....Am also going there, lets go together.

Anna.....Thanks alot Ben.

It was all planned by Anna and Ben's mum, they reached in London.

Anna.....Its dark, where am i going to stay?

Ben....Its okay, lets go to a hotel.

They went to a hotel together, Anna went to his room and insisted on sleeping with him.She seduced him until Ben fell for her trap, they spent the night together.Ben's dad went to Eleanor's room at night, he raped her.Anna always went to Ben whenever she got a chance and he fell for her,Anna got pregnant and Ben brought her to his house.Eleanor ran and hugged her husband because she wanted to tell him about his dad.She hugged Anna too.

Eleanor.....Welcome dear, i didnt know that you will be visiting.Honey, you came at the same time as her, i want to tell you something.

Ben.....It is not coincedental, she is going to start living with us.

Eleanor....Really? Am so happy, but...why is that?

Anna.....Because am pregnant with your husband's child which you failed to give him.

Eleanor.....Hahaha....stop joking...wait...are you...serious?

Ben....Its true, but your still my wife.

Eleanor.....No, your joking,right?

Anna.....Whether you believe it or not, am here for good.

Eleanor.....But, your my bestfriend...and your my husband.I trusted you...you...you said that it was fine even if i didnt have kids.

Ben....Its not easy.

Eleanor.....What wrong did i ever do to you Anna? I loved you and treated you right, but why?? Where did i go wrong? Of all people, why did you betray me?

Mum....Oh, welcome home dear.

Ben's mum arrived and hugged Anna happily.Tears were flowing from Eleanor's eyes.

Eleanor.....You...knew about this?

Mum....I asked for one thing which you couldnt give me so, i had no choice.You should be happy atleast that we are not chasing you out of our house.From now on, only her word matters, not yours.

Eleanor ran and cried in her room.Anna was given a room and Ben never went to hers, he stayed in Anna's room always.Anna became Eleanor's enemy and she hated her so much.Eleanor spent days and nigjts crying, she decided to go back to her mum.

Mum.....They are wrong but they deserve eachother,Anna is a sweet girl and better than you.

Eleanor.....Really mum? Am the one who they wronged but your still taking her side? Do i even matter to you? I came here to be comforted but...i was wrong....i dont have a mother, am on my own.

Eleanor ran and went to a dark forest, she went to an old witch who stayed in the dark forest.

Witch.....I know all about your problems and you desparately need a solution, right?

Eleanor.....Yes, i need to fix everything soon.

Witch.....Dont worry, your going to live a good new life and you will be a special human.You will find your true love and get everything you desire, everything you want.

Eleanor.....Really? When?

Witch.....Soon, be patient and trust me, right now their is nothing you can fix because it was all not meant to be yours.Something great, wonderful, amazing, dreamy awaits you in that beautiful world, you will love it and your abilities.

Eleanor.....I dont get you,what abilities? What amazing, whatsoever world awaits me?

Witch.....You will see, good luck.

The witch disappeared.

Eleanor.....Hey! Come back.

She went back to her mum and it was two months, her misery didnt change and she hated her life.

Eleanor.....That witch was a fraud, all she did was talk gibberish like some crazy kid.I cant live like this anymore, its really painful.I should put an end to this misery.

She tied a rope up and stood on a chair, she tied the rope around her neck to kill herself.

Eleanor.....The world is a cruel place and i cant live on it anymore.I hate people, i really do.

As she was still complaining with a rope on her neck, everythin started shaking.

Eleanor.....Whats going on? Its...an earthquake?

It was an earthquake and everything started falling in the ground, her chair fell away due to the shaking and she was hunged, their house also fell in the ground and everything was buried.
