Chapter 2 - The New Queen

To understand how a beautiful little girl ended up holding a metal tray like a prisoner in her own home, one had to look back at the devastating tragedy that had shattered the family two years ago.
Chloe’s biological mother had died unexpectedly from a sudden illness, leaving Chloe and her father, Michael, completely devastated. Michael was a tall, incredibly handsome man in his late thirties, and a highly successful, exceptionally wealthy corporate executive. Desperate to rebuild his shattered family and provide a loving, maternal figure for his grieving daughter, Michael had foolishly married Evelyn.
Evelyn presented herself as a warm, loving, and deeply maternal woman. She charmed Michael completely, promising to treat Chloe exactly like her own flesh and blood.
But the absolute, horrifying truth was that Evelyn was a deeply narcissistic, calculating gold-digger. She didn't love Michael; she loved his multi-million-dollar estate, his black credit cards, and the immense social status his last name provided her. And she absolutely, vehemently despised Chloe.
To Evelyn, the little girl was a constant, irritating reminder of Michael's first wife. She viewed Chloe not as a daughter, but as a rival for Michael's affection and inheritance.
When Michael was home, Evelyn played the role of the perfect, doting stepmother flawlessly. But Michael’s corporate executive position required him to travel extensively across the country. The absolute second his black SUV pulled out of the massive iron gates, Evelyn’s glamorous, loving mask completely fell off, revealing the toxic, abusive monster hiding underneath.
