Disguise as a Nerd

Chapter 12: Adopted

Danielle's POV

I am waiting for my chaperone to arrive.

Matapos ko kasing gamutin si Daniel ay bumaba na ako ng sasakyan. Like, alangang magpahatid ako sa kanya. Duh..

I tapped my foot. This is taking my time way too long. I need to finish my project in English.

As the limo- yes a limo arrived I quickly entered it without hesitation. And looked at the driver.

"He already knew, doesn't he?" I ask Denise, my chaperone. As I looked at him in the rear view mirror.

He nodded. "Yes madam, he's fuming mad earlier." He answered looking back at me.

I nodded with satisfaction. "That's good."

He started the car and went in the palace.

You see, I'm the President of the Republic of the Philippines' rebel  daughter. So he hide me and live happy family with my step-brother and step-mother.

But don't get me wrong, I like my step mom and my bro. I just dislike my dad. After all, he's the reason why mama died.

It just so happened that he's running for being a senator that time and being a politics mean that some plays it dirty.

And so thats what happened. One night when we are strolling in a park mom got shot in the head. Ofcourse we panicked, dad called for an ambulance and I swear it was the longest fifteen minutes of my life.

Doctor's declared she died on arrival. I was so devastated back then. I didn't even go and see her corpse. I just attended at her burrial. I was so brokenhearted that time and what broke me more is the fact that dad didn't even bother making the criminal behind bars. He's a senator for crying out loud! So I confront him one evening, his words still lingers in my mind and I can still remember the exact words that he told me.

"Dad." I calmly called him as he looked at me behind the paperworks he'd been doing since this morning. He won being a senator and now he's busy as an ant.

"Yes, princess? Do you want anything?" Tanong nito sa akin.

I nodded as I sat in a vacant seat infront of his table.

"Why didn't you dad?" I ask him. He already knew my question. He take a deep breath as if he doesn't want to talk about it.

"As a senator I have an image to create Danielle, It would mess up my reputation and surely my career. Sweetheart, I want you to understand that I am at the peak of my career, and I would not trip for some pety reasons. Never."

So he think that mom's death is pety? Suddenly, there's this rebellious side of me that awakened. I want to have revenge. Even if it's right or wrong, I need to get out of here.

After that, I quickly took my leave and pack my things. I walk out of the house and declared myself as his rebel daughter, who ran away from home.

"Madam. We are here already." I quickly nodded and entered the house. It's been years and this house is surprisingly the same.

I continue to walk as I came across the old man that I learned to loath for all those years.

"Danielle." He called, eyes pleading.

I grinned at him. "How was it, Dallan? Or should I call you papa?"

Lhizelles' POV

Tch. Why did I even go with this guy? This thing sucks. He's really taking this slave sh*t seriously.
