  &quot;Anna, why are you still in your bed?&quot; Aunt Lila&quot;s screaming voice jolted me up from my deep slumber. The reality is that I haven not been able to get any sleep in a long time since people constantly enter and exit my room.
  Is it true that I have no right to sleep? I am too weary, and even though it is just four o&quot;clock in the morning, they are already waking me up. The sun is not even rising yet, yet it may be asleep right now.
  Since yesterday, the residents of the mansion have been extremely busy. The maids each have their own set of responsibilities. There are also people inside the house who are putting together outfits and such.

  &quot;What are you doing?&quot; I asked, my brow wrinkled as I jerked my neck away from him.
  For a brief moment, I forgot I was in the company of a stranger. I was having such a terrible time heaving my stomach out earlier that I never even considered that I was alone in my room with a stranger, and that while I am here, I lack the strength to resist him if he did something bad to me because my body is deteriorating.
