Marry me, Attorney (UNDER REVISION)

CHAPTER : ONE

Isla

"Such a disappointment child!" Dad said and look at me with his rage eyes.

I mentally rolled my eyes on him. He is always like this everytime I have a one or three mistake on my exam.

He wants to be perfect at everything that even me should be perfect too, But I would never be like him.

All my life I've been a puppet for him and not thinking about myself.

I always invalidated my feelings just to please him in anything, but in return he will give me everything that I want. I don't mind tho as long as it involves money.

"You should take another exam! And make sure that it's perfect, Isla. Understood?!" His voice is really irritating, making me want to shut him off. I could actually see the veins on his neck, showing how mad he is at me.

Damn. I made my Dad angry at me, but I still have my respect for him, afterall he's my father right?

I stood up and made a face.

"Yeah," I murmured quietly as I made my way towards the staircase. This is my way to escape from his nonsensical talk. I'm so tired of this, but I can't do anything to stop him, and even my mom can't either.

He wants me to be a lawyer, which is why I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Law under BS Political Science, and I'm in my final year of college. Being the daughter of a multi-billionaire businessman and a Senator is not easy. There are always threats, and danger lurks everywhere. It feels like a prison but what can I do for it to stop? None.

Kaya laging may mga nakabantay sa akin, dinaig ko pa ang mga batang nasa kindergarten dahil sa mga bantay ko. Hindi ko naman sila nakakasama sa mismong tabi ko, but they are everywhere, It seems like I am a pampered child. At my age, the way Dad treats me makes it feel like I can't stand up for myself. I'm so sick of this; I want a normal life like those people who don't mind having financial problems, as long as they have a life different from mine. They might wish to have a life like mine, but if I were them, I wouldn't dare.

I don't have a privacy for having this kind of social life. Kung may susunod mang buhay ayoko na maging mayaman, maghahanap nalang ako ng matandang babaeng malapit na makipag-meet up kay San Pedro.

Being a Monreal, it's maddening, feeling like you're in hell due to drastic insanity, especially when you have a father who's like a demon, because he's a worst.

A devil in disguise.

But everything I've said about my father is all lies, just rumors I hear from people who want to bring down my father because of the power and wealth our family holds. With just one snap, it feels like you'll become completely obedient to him.

Kidding I just made up those description. Dad doesn't like that.

He's really a good man, and a good father to us. That was just my intro but none of them were true.

But I remembered second semester na bukas baka hindi na ako makaretake, goodness. Malalagot talaga ako if ever na hindi ako makatake pero bahala na si batman kaya na ni Dad iyon hindi ko naman magagamit 'yong tatlong mali ko kapag naghanap ako ng sugarmommy in the future or hindi kaya ang lumandi.

"What happened?" Someone asked me when I entered my room.

bumuntong hininga ako bago dumeritso sa tabi niya na siyang abala sa pagtitipa ng phone niya. Her natural brown hair was lying on my soft matress.

"Just a small argument I guess?" I said and laid down beside her.

"He scolded you 'no?" She added that made me chuckled. She really knows talaga, that kind of situation is not new to her.
