Vanessa POV

"When will you get a stable job?" Tita asked in a disappointment tone

"My job is stable tita, i graduated culinary because of that job" I answered politely without looking at her

"Huh? Hindi ka naman makaka graduate kung hindi kita kinupkop" sagot ni tita kaya napa bugtong hininga nalang ako

"I am thankful na kinupkop nyo ako tita, pero may I remind you po na ako ang gumastos sa sariling pag aaral ko and nag bibigay din ako ng share sa bahay" i said kaya umirap ito

"Huh, kahit na For sure your dad will be disappointed in your job when he wakes up" i clenched my jaw to stop myself from saying something bad to her

"Let's not involve my dad into this conversation tita, if he's awake right now he will have no problem with my job" I responded and stood up

"Papasok na po ako" maayos na paalam ko

"Sus, sabihin mo lang kasing tamad mo ang nanay mo mag hanap ng trabaho" nag pintig ang tenga ko sa sinabi nya kaya tumingin ako sakanya

"Don't bring my mother into this" i said in a stern tone to her while staring directly into her eyes

"Wag kang sumasagot kay mama ng ganya-" I didn't let his 'good' son finished his words

"Wag kang mag malinis at manahimik ka" i said

"Aba sumasagot kana!" Galit na sabi ni tita kaya i slammed my hands on the table

"Ano? Galit kana? Pinag sasabihan kalang na mag hanap ka ng maayos na trabaho!" Sigaw ni tita

"Maayos nga ho! Ang trabaho ko!" I raised my voice back

"Aba! O sige tutal nag yayabang ka sa trabahong yan! Bayaran mo lahat ng ginastos ko sa pagpapa libing ng nanay mo at pag papagamot ng tatay mo!" She screamed angrily kaya dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko at nilabas ang naka handa kong maleta

"2 buwan! Bigyan moko ng dalawang buwan at isasampal ko sa muka nyo ang perang pinag yayabang nyo!" I said and walked straight out of her house

I'm Vanessa Piece, 26 years old and that's my father step-sister. My father got into coma after a car accident and my mother died on the same car accident, kaya sila ang kumupkop sakin.

Pero I'm not dumb, they sold my family house and stole all of our jewelry. And for sure they're only sticking with me to get the bank book that my father hid away na maski ako ay hindi alam kung nasan din

And my job is a barista at a café, I worked there for almost 7 years already. So it is stable and maayos ang sahod ko duon hindi tulad ng palamunin nyang anak

Tss, sana man lang ay wala ng dadagdag na sakit ng ulo ko ngayon dahil sakanila palang ay kumukulo na ang dugo ko

Rais POV

"Papa~" nagising ako sa mahinang pag yugyog ni raizel sakin kaya dahan dahan kong binuksan ang mga mata ko

"Yes princess?" I asked

"Gutom na po ako" she pouted kaya napakunot ang noo ko

"You didn't eat your breakfast yet?" I asked kaya umiling ito

"Wala po si manay beth" she said with a sad tone kaya binuhat ko sa paupo sa higaan

"Princess, big girl kana diba. Hindi na kaya ni nanay beth mag trabaho kasi mag kakasakit sya" I explained which only made her expression more sadder

"Kaya need mona maging big girl and kumain ng breakfast sa dining area" i said pero umiling ito

"Strangers.." she whispered

"They're not strangers honey" I assured her pero umiling parin ito

"I don't kilala sila, strangers is I don't kilala" she said

Her anxiety hasn't changed...

She has a separation anxiety and fear of strangers which caused her to have a hard time remembering new faces

"Pano pala pag nag school ka?" I asked kaya yumuko nalang ito na larang naiiyak

I cursed underneath my breath and carried her to my arms

"Sorry princess, don't cry" i calmed her but still failed dahil I heard her sniffing

"Alright, we'll have breakfast outside and I'll take you to my work then" i said kaya tumango ito

"Basta behave on my office ok?" I said

Tumango uli ito at tinaas ang pinky finger nya kaya ganun nalang din ang ginawa ko

"Alright, go ask some maids to help you change na" i said pero umiling ito

"They won't hurt you sweetie, if they do I'll fire them" i said kaya dahan dahan itong tumango

"Off you go now" i said and opened the door

"Good morning sir" i saw nanay beth kaya agad na tumakbo si raizel dito

"Nanay, can you help her? Or should i call someone else?" I asked kaya umiling si nanay beth

"Kaya ko pa" she said and hold Raizel on her hand and lead her to her own room

I sigh and shut the door again, being a single father is tough

Well if I haven't introduced myself I'm Rais Farrington. I'm 33 years old and a CEO of the triple R company

And that little girl is Raizel mu daughter, she has a separation anxiety and fear of strangers due to a past trauma

So yeah, this is basically our life and welcome to it
