Cheater! [OHSHC KyoyaxReader One-Shot]

Cheater!

Because someone requested a Reader-Insert version of Cheater!, which was originally with an OC from Kyoya's perspective, here it is. Basically the same story, just told from "your" perspective.

There has to be a way to get that woman fired. Throwing your antique, hand-carved, easel made by your favorite wood-carver was the last straw, and you can't take anymore of these "accidents." Sure, you could stand being locked outside your home gate for a few hours-you could draw or do your homework until she decided to let you in, which was always sometime before your parents came home. You could also ignore the fact that she didn't do her job when it concerned your matters such as making your breakfast, or dusting your room. Actually, you preferred to clean your room yourself since there are things that you hold dearly and secretly. It was that part of her job that had gotten you into this mess.

You had left your room for dinner, and she took that time to review your room to dust and straighten up, and saw your laptop screen. She didn't know anything about coding, but she had enough insight to connect the dots between the image of your father's company icon, Akihiro Security Enterprise, and his recent and frequent grumblings that someone had hacked him, a hacker. In layman's terms, she knows that you were the one who had "stolen" some branches of your father's security company, but to be honest, you prefer the term "borrowed." You did return it after all with new and improved additional features free of charge. He shouldn't even want to punish someone who had improved his work.

Naturally, she started blackmailing you. She got to slack off and do whatever she wanted, along with extorting money from you, as long as she kept your secret away from your family, but all of these immature pranks started when she wanted be with your brother, who had a girlfriend and is now engaged, and you refused to help her. Your brother is happy with whom he had chosen to be his future wife, and you weren't about to disrupt that, even if your secret ended up exposed. Unfortunately, she wanted to keep you in a tricky position and opted to torture you herself instead of letting your father do it.

He wouldn't send you to jail, or press any charges, you are his daughter, and he even admitted that the improvements helped his company immensely, but he would keep urging you to join and take over his company someday, like he had done to your brother ever since he was born; however that's not what you wanted. More than anything, you wanted to become a graphic designer, designing websites or computer graphics for online games or movies. Painting on a crisp canvas, what everyone knows you to do, is just one thing you love doing, especially if the power's out (something that frequently happens as your father tests new security equipment). As many prospects that your father's company can offer, it's just something that wouldn't make you completely happy.

You are too much of a people-pleaser and tend to let people, especially your dear family members, dictate your decisions, so if your father begged you, you probably wouldn't be able to find any strength to refuse his request. The thought of telling your father yourself and the risk of angering him, while rare, is also a frightening thing to experience, so you would much rather have someone else spill the beans than do it yourself. Actually, there had been occasions where you had tried to tell him, but found yourself too scared to carry on.

So it's either find the guts to tell your father, or let the maid keep torturing you, because there's absolutely no way you would break your brother and his fiancé up and help that maid get him. There is one thing you definitely know: whether she quits, or get mysteriously fired, she would most certainly tell your father that you are the hacker if either of those events happen.

"Hello, Mii-chan!" that infernal Tamaki Suoh yells, just barely registering through your headphones playing music, so thanks to that, you don't jump or get startled as much as usual.
