My birth was a mistake.
My mother, Annette Austin, often leaned by the window, waiting for my father's return.
Enoch worked long hours, leaving early and coming back late. For a while, they lived like any ordinary couple, calm and quiet.
During that time, we were like rats in a dark sewer, hiding in a house that never saw daylight.
That house trapped both Annette and me.
I clearly remembered the day Annette took me to the market.
She wore beautiful dresses Enoch had given her. Back when she was a dancer, her moves were like a butterfly's. Graceful and breathtaking.
But at the market, people pointed and whispered about us.
"That's her. Kept by some rich guy. Got pregnant out of wedlock and had a kid."
"She used to dance at a club. Quit after hooking up with a big shot. Look at her, all dolled up, probably out to seduce men."
Annette heard the gossip and covered my ears. But I was already old enough to think for myself. I saw how they looked at us, like we were freaks.
"How much for these veggies?" Annette asked a gruff woman at a stall.
