Anna's POV

"What did I do? Please let me go!" I cried out as Kane, the Omega leader dragged me out of my late father's mansion made of bricks.

My uncle, John, my aunty Juliana, and my cousin, Reina were staring at me without reacting. It was as if they knew what was happening.

"You brat! How did you escape without our knowledge?" Kane sneered at my face and I turned to him.

"What do you mean? This is my father's house." I reminded him confidently and he laughed in mockery.

"Seriously? Did your stupid parents leave anything for you other than misfortune?" He laughed again and his men chorused.

"From today henceforth, you are no longer a Beta but an Omega and will serve under the unit," Kane announced to me vividly, he looked serious which confused me even more.

"What?" I faced my relatives, beads of sweat were already forming on my forehead. "Aunty Julie, what's going on? Uncle." My eyes were shaking and itching as I crawled closer to them, they stepped backward acting as if I was a stranger.

"What are you waiting for? Take her out of here." My uncle commanded the guards curtly as he shot me a dirty look before turning away.

"What's going on? How can I become an Omega when I'm a Beta? This is my father's house, I can't leave." I refused brazenly, disagreeing with them.

Kane nodded at the hefty guards and they pulled me from the ground.

Tears streamed from my eyes down to my face as my relatives laughed happily. That was when it dawned on me that they were behind all these. 

They have always seen me as an obstacle, sending me away was the best option to exercise full rights on my parents' property.

"Poor Anna…" My aunty clicked her tongue as she approached me. I locked my gaze with her sharp eyes.

"Your daddy is to blame for not taking good care of you…" She used her finger to slap my cheek, I sighed heavily.

"I'm disappointed, aunty Juliana. Who would have thought that you and your household would plot against me? Are you that petty?" I growled at her face and immediately, Reina woke me up with a hard slap on my cheek.

I winced in pain while placing my hand on my cheek as I faced her in astonishment.

"Reina?" My eyes were widening.

I never thought she would do that. I was her elder with about a ten-year gap, she only looked mature and was busty.

"If you talk to my parents carelessly, I will make your life more miserable than it is." She spat on my face in disrespect.

My understudy has become so bold in the blink of an eye because I have lost everything.

I was still in astonishment as the men dragged me away.

"This should be the first and the last time you step your dirty foot here!" My aunt's voice sank into my earbuds as I left with Kane and his guards.

My heart squeezed in severe ache. I cried and struggled with them but it was inevitable.

Some Betas and Omega who knew me were in astonishment and excitement seeing my situation. I have fallen from glory after enjoying the power of my late parents.

The shame was so much that all through the intercession, my face was lowered to the ground.

"I will pay them back!" I said in contempt inwardly.

It's been two days since I was brought into the Omega working space. Just like other helpless Omega's, I was working day and night with no rest.

We were either weeding or planting, washing the farming tools, or harvesting. We had little resting time, especially since I was new to the whole process.

At the end of the day, we weren't paid but given one meatball as a whole meal.

I cried day and night for help and redemption but nothing came. It was as though the whole world had abandoned me, it wasn't as if I had anywhere to go if not back to my greedy relatives.

"Hey you, will you keep up washing just that the whole day?" One of the Omega shouted at me and I haven a sigh, all this while I had been thinking deeply.

"I… I'm sorry." I shook my head as I took the working implement back into the store to hang them.

"Hope you know there's no meal for you today?" Another commented and immediately I turned.

"What?" I can joke with anything, not my meal, especially since we only eat once a day.

I couldn't risk it.

"Why?" I made a comeback staring at the ladies as they laughed at me to stupor.

"Because we feel so. We are hungry and one meatball is not satisfying." They said in unison while batting their lashes and I smirked.

"Look here." I approached them. "At this state, we are all the same. If you want to claim someone's food, you can do that with the steward or Lord Kane. Not my food!" I growled at their faces, they stepped backward but didn't look as though they would back off.

"Weren't you told the rules? It's past eight and you still have more work to do. You can't eat until you are done and we were the first to claim your food since the cook wanted to throw it away, so? Are we at fault?" They wiggled their brows in an annoying way that would make anyone slap them.

I was so annoyed, pissed, and angry but I was as helpless as a chicken.

"Why? Why do they have to maltreat me?" I sobbed in pain, crashing on the bare floor.

The ladies shook their heads and left to finish their daily assignments.

"I can't starve! They can't starve me because I didn't finish my task!" I gathered momentum and went to the kitchen for my food.

When I got there, others were rounding up their meal. I approached the counter where the meal was being served.

"Hello?" I began, nervously.

"I haven't been given food," I said shyly.

"What's your name?" The cook asked, rudely.

They weren't friendly at all and it was of no use trying to be their friends.

"Number 107, Anna," I said.

"You're out. No meal for the day." The cook eyed me and pushed me away to attend to the next person.

"But I worked, didn't I? You can't starve me." I refused to admit defeat since my stomach was at war. I could hear the worms in my stomach devouring my intestines, I had to soothe them before I contracted an ulcer.

"You idiot! Can you stop giving us a headache?" As she finished her statement, she poured the soup on my body and threw the meatball hard at me.

That was supposed to be my food. Why was she so wicked?

I quickly rushed over to pick up the meatball that was rolling. I didn't mind cleaning it up and eating since I was starving badly but someone intentionally stepped on it.
