ESMERALDA WAS A BRAT. She knew it. The whole OBX knew and it was no secret. She loved having things her way and never being told no.She was once careless and free but once she started to hang out with Kooks after she moved from the cut, her "people", made her realize living a double life wasn't fun.
Although she loved hanging out with carefree people, she knew she would never be one of them.
She had everything, yet all she wanted was nothing.
People on the cut always stared her down as if she'd been on enemy territory. Esme would feel uncomfortable knowing people talk. Kooks definitely did not approve of her double life and said she was crazy to ever step foot onto pouge territory.
She was fine until her years in the Kook Academy. They had gotten to her, brainwashed her of some sort, and made her one of them. Never allowing Esme to turn back and look at her past. Now it was as if the cut disgusted her, said she'd rather drown than live on the cut.
Although, she knew that wasn't true. Acting and masking were a specialty of hers. She loved playing a role for the rich.
The truth about Esme? She was going insane. She hated pretending to be someone she wasn't.
Antonio Cruz and Ward Cameron were like brothers, they golfed together and fished together. His drunken state was something Esme was used to by now, the way he would yell at her for simply breathing around him. Esme wanted to do nothing else but escape, leave her dad behind, and never think about him ever again. And JJ Maybank was her escape for a little while. She felt like he was the missing piece she needed. The piece to heal your heart was what she'd call it if she had to name it.
Nobody else but the teenage boy; JJ Maybank, realized that Antonio Cruz had been taking his anger out on his own daughter. His daughter had done nothing else but look out for him. Of course, Esme knew better and kept her mouth shut. Thought it was better if she left things alone than become an orphan if she reported anything to the police.
Just like her, Antonio Cruz loved putting on an act for the rich.
But happens when two boys compete for her love and affection? Who will she betray and who will she love?
