Cinderella Circumstances: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* ''[[Victorian Romance Emma]]'': Emma was born in a seaside village where she was given tough jobs and regularly physically and verbally abused. Luckily, she gained a better life after Kelly Stowner took her under her wing and trained her to be a maid.

* In ''[[Honey Hunt]]'', if the maid is not at home, Yura is often made to wait on [[Abusive Parents|her mother]] and her clients when she comes home after being away at work for so long. Sometimes her mother is even gone for months at a time.

* In one story in ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]: Tokyo'', a young woman who was formerly a hostess from the Philippines ends up [[Happily Married]] to a [[~~May-December~~ Romance|much older man]] and has a child with him. For some time, she and her son enjoy a life of blissful luxury, until her husband has a stroke and is unable to remember any of his family or care for himself. His other children (who are all as old as the woman is) nearly turn her and her son out, but ultimately keep her as a servant, while considering her child to be inferior because of his mixed nationality. Even when offered a chance to leave though, the woman refuses to abandon her husband. {{spoiler|In the end, her husband dies and leaves a note in his will that his dementia was faked and, impressed by the woman's devotion to him, he leaves her one half of his vast estate, with the other half to be divided amongst his other squabbling children.}}
