Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

Prologue

"Dismissed!"

I took my bag and went out of my classroom. I put my airpods on and confidently walk in the hallway. All of their eyes are on me. Yeah, because I am beautiful. Everyone stops just to see me and I just smirked and roll my eyes.

"If I were her, I wouldn't be able to go to school."

"Thick skinned."

"Bitch."

I kept on walking confidently without minding them. I'm used to it, nothings new. I've been exposed to people like them since I was young since my Dad is a famous business man.

When I stepped out of my school building, I immediately saw my Mom waiting for me. I flipped my hair before walking towards her. Hindi ko siya grineet at agad na pumasok sa kotse namin. I know why she's here. She went inside the car and sat beside me.

"Aes," pagtawag sa akin ni Mommy pero but I didn't even look at her instead I turn my gaze away. I hear her sighs but I didn't bother to look at her. I don't want to.

We immediately walked out of the car when we reached our house. I touched my cheeks and applied a little powder and put a grin in my lips. I slightly chuckled when I held the door knob before pushing it. Hindi pa ako totally nasa loob ng bahay ay agad na naglakad palapit sa akin si Daddy.

I stood confidently without blinking. He looks so angry, but I don't mind. He stopped in front of me and immediately slapped me making me slightly lose my balance. At least my guesses aren't wrong. I looked at him and smiled.

"Glad to see you too, Dad," I sarcastically said and smiled.

"What the hell is going inside your head?!" sigaw niya sa akin at hinawakan ang braso ko. "You are making our names dirty!" sigaw niya and that made me chuckle.

I raised a brow. "Isn't it already dirty?" nakangising tanong ko and pulled my arms. "Don't act as the cleanest person because you're not," I said frankly. He was about to slap me again kaya agad na akong tumingin sa side para mas mapadali ang pagsampal niya sa akin.

"Hit me," I urged him. "Go on," nakangiting sabi ko. "I'm so used to this, go on."

Instead of slapping me again he stood back and massage his temples. Well, that's disappointing. I flipped my hair and crossed my arms. I want him to slap me pa naman.

"What?" I raised a brow. "Is there anything else? Are you going to hit me again? Do it already, you're wasting my time." I used his words against him.

"Okay," he said and nodded. "Here's the thing," he said and placed both of his hands in his sides. "Elvis!" sigaw ni Daddy. His secretary immediately ran and went to him like a dog. "Tell her everything," he ordered.

"Yes, Sir," his follower immediately responded. I watch him open his bag, maybe to look for what my dear father asked. He took an envelope and gave it to me. I took it out of his hand and immediately opened it.
