Mistreatment of children by their step mother

We were born to dwell and co-exist with one another.  we were three, 2 boys and one girl.  our mother died early in the year 2000.  Our father being a wealthy merchant had to marry a second wife.  The step mother was harsh, brutal and cruel. She gave us left overs and forced us to do all the worth for her luelnding housechores and  scrubing the floor.  we had no otherwise since we were helpless and our father was far at coast.

One day my elder brother defied the mothers order.  When lunch time came, he was called to share with , food on the high table.  l wondered why but immediately the food was served, I saw her secretely pour some powder in his food.  I was about to shout at him not to eat but my step mother reached for me at a speed of lightening, closed my mouth her hand and forced me out with her.  I felt my heart beating almost out of its ribeage.  On seeing this, my brother sensed danger and exchanged the food with hers and went ahead to eat. She came and at it but before she was half way, she collapsed and died.  I didn't bother to sob why? I was able to ensure my fathers wealth liker her children!!!!
