My Cinderella

21

Normal

After dinner, si Anastasia busy na sa paglalaro kaya kami ni daddy nag uusap na sa may 5th living room nya sa may bandang sulok ng silid dito sa baba ng mansyon n'ya.

"Well daddy it looks like this would be a long chat then, where do you want me to start?"

"Tell me if he speaks up with you?" He happily asked as debbie served us some snacks and some tea on the table.

"Yes..." Tipid kong sagot and a smile formed at daddy's lips.

Daddy always convince me not to look at chase badly, but ever since, I really just don't like to see him as a good guy if he don't prove to me that he really is a good guy.

But then daddy just gave up convincing me after he saw me suffer much because of chase. So he also tried to make himself believe that unacceptable fact of his son.

Chase was really uncontrollable after he knew that his family died and blaming that it was me even if I really did not, so daddy can't do anything but to hide.

Yes, on Chase's point of view, he knew that they died but little did he know that only one of them died in that incident and that's only his mother...Who... Have to go that soon.

Kinuwento ko lang kay daddy yung mga nakwento lang din sakin ni chase simula doon sa mga oras na nag bbond na kami, pero meron pading pag tataka sakin yung nakwento ni chase sakin na di maalis sa isipan ko.

"Daddy... Can I ask you about chase before he gets back maybe like 6 years ago? Before I meet him?" Nawala naman bigla ang ngiting nakaguhit sa kaniyang labi.

"What bothers you?"

"Why did you send chase in prison? And did you knew every details or pains that he have suffered back then?" I sarcastically asked and I know it sounds like I care for chase but fvck I can't let the fact that maybe its all daddy's fault why chase is like that.

After knowing some stories between them, I now don't know who should I trust here.

"He... Tell you that?"

"Sorry daddy, its just that... it's hard to remove my trust with-

"Daughter. He's fooling you. again." He quickly cuts me off at napataas ako ng kilay.

Now daddy sounds different. Something feels off now. I am now confused in everything... Like right now as I look at daddy... I am having the thought of not trusting him now...

Chase's father knew all about me mostly at my alejandro days... If you'll be asking why am I teaming up with him even if my family have a war between them ever since... well, it's because they were really a good people... siguro nga nag ooverreact lang sila sa nangyari dati sa lola ko with the Vicasentes.

Pero kasi simula nang makalaya na si chase... There's a lot trouble... And big changes happened...

Who should I trust now?

"You've mentioned he put tattoo on your ankle, have y-

"Yes, I asked someone to remove the tracker." madali kong sagot with my serious tone.

He breaths deeply "he also talks about the tattoo that has been perished from his body... With a mark of scars-

"H-He did?"

"Did what?"

Saglit kong nakita ang kanyang ngiti at ngayon naguguluhan na talaga ako. He's being weird. I think I should go... It really feels like there's something off here.

I sigh first and tap my arm rest together with my feet tapping the ground, after that I stand up so is daddy. "It's getting late daddy. I should head home..."
