Chapter 1: Karina

Karina

It's been 5 years since my mother passed away and Father just remarried with a lady who was just 2 years older than me. I cannot accept the fact that father just thought it was a good idea to let a young lass be his wife, he shouldn't have  married her in the first place! It is unacceptable!

"Karina! Your father wishes for you to come down and have your meal." Speaking of the devil, Karen- my entitled step mom- just barged in my room.

"Who gave permission to you that you could just barge in my room, huh?" I irritably asked.

"I am your mother so you need to listen to me!" she said with a strong tone. As if that scares me, b*tch.

"No one asked you so better talk to the rubbish bin, Karen. Also, I don't remember my mom being a b*tch." I rolled my eyes as I said those words. You better leave now Karen, I hate your face.

"You needed to be taught a lesson young lady-"

Bumangon ako at masama siyang tinitigan. I have a bad temper management so if you don't wanna die early, you better seek shelter for I will burn you to hell.

"Stop acting as if you were in my level you gold digging lass, leave!" I yelled at her,  hence summoning my father before me.

"What on heavens is happening here!?" my father exclaimed.

"Tell your so called wife to stay away from me, father. I hate the sight of her," I commanded. But my father looked  at me with disappointment.

"Karina, I did not raised you to be disrespectful. Watch your tongue, young lady. This is your mom whom you are talking to," he said. Emphasizing the word 'mom'

"That woman is never been mom. Yes she is your wife, but she will never be my mom!" I exclaimed. My father rushed to me and slapped me, making me lose my balance and fell down.

That hurts. 

"I never wanted to do this, Karina. But this is crossing the line! You do this one more time and I will send you to your aunt Gretel. Do I make myself clear?" his voice is so terrifying but I didn't answer.

"Do I make myself clear?" He gripped my hand and made me face him but his wench stopped him

"Honey, that's enough. Let's go." Karen said and my father then let me go.

Umalis na sila and there I was starting to sob. My father never backs me up, he is always against me. Ano naman kaya ang laban ko sa babae niya hindi ba? I am only his daughter.

Or am I even his daughter? Baka mamaya ampon pala ako ano? Hah, Is that why I don't feel like he loves me? When mom died, he didn't even cried. 

Not a bit.

I stood up and went to the bathroom. I need to compose myself, find a place and ease the pain. It's morning and this is what they start it with. What a shame.

Nakagayak na ako at handa na akong umalis nang makita ko si yaya Chen. She has a worried look in her face.

"Oh anong tinitingin tingin mo diyan? Get back to work you ignoble dolt!" I yelled at her. She just smiled sadly and return to work. Ugh!

I snuck past the couple and made sure that they don't see me leave. They don't care anyway so...  never mind.

I had my driver start off the engine and we are ready to go. Pumunta ako rest house namin which is a few hour drive, malayo sa mansion. I am a self taught fighter so I can defend myself, ang kaso lamang ay ayoko saktan yung matanda at baka itakwil ako.
