She is beautiful. Never in my life have I seen a woman so gorgeous. I stare at her like I'm in a trance. I must be, because it's impossible to look away. Her red lips. Her soft closed eyes. He long blonde hair. Her hips. Her hands in the red sparkly...

WHY THE FUCK IS MY DAD HERE?!?! I need to be calm. I haven't seen that piece of shit in so many years so why is he here now? He smiles at me. That motherfucker I am going to fucking kill him after what he did. "Hello Ashley" he says filled with joy. He loves to see me out of it. "Hello sir" I say with teeth clamed down. "Its going to be great to see you preform".
THIS MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE!!! I swear to God I am going to kill him one day. And if Richard wasn't here, I might have fulfilled that promise. I slowly reach my hand out to shake his disgusting hand. He smiles before he takes it.
My father has always been handsome, but I only see how ugly he is. He is tall and when he smiles, he looks like the joker. His toothy grin is enough to send chills down my spine.
"Aren't you going to bow to me Ash?" he asks. Me and the rest of my family always had to bow to him. But I have grown. I am a woman now and we are not at home where he can control me. No. I will not let him have the satisfaction to see me like that. "No" I simply answer. Richard looks at me with an angry look in his eyes. He will do anything to sponsor his club. "If you do, I might sponsor this nightclub" he says. "Well then definitely not!" I almost spit out. "Ashley!!!" Richard says. "Richard" I begin but he cuts me off. "I am trying to help you, you are"
No. Now its enough! I don't care what Richard says. "I am this club's best performer and I need no help. Not from you not from my dad not from anyone. I am Ashley Antoinette, and I will bow to no man. And definitely not you" I tell them.
They all look at me surprised. I turn around and walk away. I'm filled with anger. Why the fuck is he here?! I thought I left him and my old life for good. Even though I want to punch his stupid face it will only make things worse. I need to clam down and focus on my performance.
I hear fast steps behind me. Then Richard grabs my arm. "Ashley what was that?!" he asks. I can hear panic anger and confusion in his voice. "Don't touch me" I simply say. He looks down at his hand who has a tight grip around my arm. "I'm sorry" he says before removing his hand. "But what was that?" I look at him. Richard is a big man. He towers over me. "Why the fuck is he here?" I ask. "He is a sponsor. What is up with you?" Richard finally asks. "You heard what I said Richard. That man is my dad, and he is a FUCKING ASSHOLE so I'm sorry for panicking" I almost yell. He just looks at me. He is studying my face. "Listen, that man did horrible things to my family and me. I'm sorry Richard but I just... I just can't". I feel the tears coming. I do my best to hold them in, but it's getting harder and harder. "Its okay Ash but I can't just throw him out, if I could, I would but I can't" He is stumbling over his words. "Its fine Richard just" I take a deep breath. "I need to focus on the performance, just keep him as far away from me as possible" I tell him. He nods. "Thank you, Ash," he says. "I really appreciate it. Break a leg".
