Chapter 0006

*TESSA*

“If you had manners,you wouldn’t have turned my father against us.”I snapped,standing up.

For so many years…My father hadn’t looked at me as if I was his daughter.

Instead,he stared at me as if I was a stranger.

When I was younger,my mother had been unable to pay my tuition fee and I went to meet him for help but he kicked me out.

And it hurts a lot that Anna gets to live a very good life.She isn’t even his biological daughter!

Now…I have equally shut him out.

He stopped being my father a long time ago.

“Patrick,how can she talk to me like this?!”Cassie cried.

My dad sprang up to his feet.”Start being polite to my wife!”He thundered and slapped me across the cheek.

It was unexpected and it cause me to fall to the floor.

“It hasn’t come to this,Patrick.”Uncle Wilson barked coming over to my side.

“How dare you touch my daughter?!”My mom yelled.

“She deserved it.”Anna snapped,laughing.

I was almost blinded my anger.

Losing my temper completely,I got up and picked up a some plates of dishes,throwing them at my father…no…he’s not my father…Patrick,Cassie and Anna.

Their clothes were stained and I smirked to see him shooting daggers at me.

“You little…”Patrick tried to hit me again but uncle Wilson stopped him.

“Enough!”

“You’re such an horrible daughter?What kind of daughter attacks her own father?!”Cassie yelled.

Eleanor and my mother pulled me to their side.

“You started this.Couldn’t you just get through the evening without asking for trouble?”My mother asked Cassie.

“I can’t believe I have a daughter like you.”Patrick spat.

I rolled my eyes.

I can’t believe I have a father like him either.

I was very satisfied with how dirty Patrick and his family looked right now.

But then my heart sank when I noticed Declan was still sitting there witnessing all the drama going on.

I wish he wasn’t here.

I wish he didn’t have to see how fucked up my family was.

I was starting to feel embarrassed so I whispered to my mother.

“I…I have to leave.”With that,I hurriedly left the hall.

I crossed my arms when I was immediately assaulted by the cold breeze outside.

I started to walk trying to board any taxi that drove by but I was very unlucky getting one.

My cheek was burning and tears pricked my eyes.

I blinked rapidly trying not to make them drop.

I don’t regret what I did tonight.

I refuse to be intimidated by my father’s family.

I’m glad I put them in their places but I couldn’t stop feeling sad at the same time.

I wish my family was different.

I wish my life was different.

And the tears dropped.

I sniffed when my feet started to hurt as well.

When will life ever go my way?

A car suddenly pulled up beside me.

I looked sideways to see the glass window rolled down and it revealed Declan.

I frowned at him.

“Get in.”He ordered.

Get in?

We’re not in his company and I do not have to take commands from him.

And besides, I don’t know how to face him after what had happened tonight.

“It’s not easy to get a taxi here.”He pressed on.

I ignored him and continued walking.

He in turned started driving slowly after me.

Seriously?

What is his problem?

“I think you aren’t current with the news.If you are,you would know that several cases of rape and murder had occurred lately in this street…and the worse part is that…the murderer is making it impossible to be arrested.”

Fear gripped my soul.

“Have fun walking home.”With that,he drove off.

Oh no!

I should have swallowed my pride!

I should have gotten into his car.

I looked around not bold enough to take another step.

Even if life has been hard for me…I still don’t want to die…

Life is beautiful however you see it.

Oh God.

I saw his car stopped upfront and then he drove backwards and stopped beside me again.

He didn’t have to say anything this time.

I ran around the car and quickly opened the door of the passenger’s seat.

I got in and fastened my seat belt.

I chose not to look at his face…I’m sure he has a cocky expression on.

I told him my address and he imputed it into the GPS.

The ride was pretty quiet.

I placed my hand on my cheek wondering why it still fucking hurts.

I can’t believe he slapped me because his wife urged him to.

Soon,the car stopped in front of my apartment.

“Thank you,Mr Hudson.”I unfastened my seatbelt.

“It’s nothing.I just couldn’t let my employee meet her possible death when I could have saved her.”

My teeth clenched.

Is death something to say so nonchalantly?

“You don’t have to worry.I plan on living until I’m old and grey.“I got down and slammed his door shut.

And then he sped off.

What’s the need of having an handsome face when he’s so mean?!
