It's been 3 months and I haven't seen that man again since we left seatle after Mr. Bandini's birthday celebration.
"Cassidy!"
"Ohh, shit." I cursed when I heard the strict voice of my dad thundered from behind me.
I slowly let go of the butterfly I caught a while ago before facing my dad who looks like he's running out of patience because of me.
He took a step in my direction and held both of my shoulders.
He took a heavy sigh as if it was his way to calm his nerves down because I'm a pain in the ass.
" I brought you here to attend this lunch meeting with my business partners so that somehow you will know the routine of the business and how it works and not your pure nonsense like what you're doing right now.! " He scolded me using his firm voice and trying to make me understand like a 2 years old kid.
I secretly rolled my eyes, I'm so sick of those things related to business, I'm so fed up with it.
Whenever we have breakfast, lunch, or dinner there's nothing else to talk about but business.
I didn't try to speak, I'm not in the mood to argue with him either. Well, I know why he's upset right now, during their discussion about business matters I excused myself to go to the lady's room but I didn't really go there I went to the garden instead where they were colorful butterflies flying freely. I was so engrossed by those beautiful creatures flying in my surroundings, that I forgot to go back there until the meeting was over.
" let's go," He said with authority as he turned his back on me and left me as he walked away.
I rolled my eyes at his bodyguards when they are waiting for me to go first, which irritates the hell out of me, I snorted before and turned my back on them to follow my dad.
Our driver opened the door for my father in the back seat as he waited for me to follow, I got inside of our car quietly, and I heard that he was talking with someone on the phone.
" Yes, thanks for the invitation," My dad said as he stopped like he was listening to what the person on the other line was saying.
"Oh, yes I'm glad to hear that. Expect me there next week" My dad chortled I'm sure he was talking to one of his business partners again
I shrugged and ignored dad, I better take a nap.
I don't have a passion for businesses, I prefer to travel and enjoy my life while I'm young, but my parents keep pushing me to take the paths that I never want.
I woke up when someone slightly tapped my cheek but I didn't open my eyes. I groaned and snorted, my brows furrowed when I tried to continue my sleep but this ugly creature keeps on disturbing my sleep. I was so annoyed that I suddenly opened my eyes and shouted at the person who keeps on bagging my sleep and I find out that it was our driver.
Our driver stepped back because he was surprised at my sudden burst. I saw my dad was already standing outside the door and waiting for me to come out as if I had another new sermon to receive. Disappointments were very invisible in his eyes. What's new anyway? I'm used to it. I think I haven't done anything that made them proud of me, I'm always not enough.
I straightly go out of the car that was parked in front of our damnably huge, extravagant, and fancy mansion that anyone could dream of. But I have never been happy just because of that. When the only thing that I've ever wanted is to have even just a little attention from them that I never had, that's the only thing I needed that they failed to give.
" Act like a lady Cassidy!" My father blurted out his eyes is like daggers piercing through me
"Por Dios por Santo! When are you going to be one? You are already 16 for God's sake, you're not getting any younger Cassidy, I don't like that behavior of yours" He scolded me as he doesn't even care that his men were watching, " I'm telling you, Cassidy, you won't like it when I'm mad, you know that " He warned me " have you ever think what may people say huh? that Hebron Tyson's daughter was a stubborn and a spoiled brat, it's a shame." He continued.
I'm used to it, he never considered my feeling even at once, he always care about what people say. He's just like mom. What's new anyway?
I was already immuned with all that s**t, it's like
It's going and coming out from my ears like it was nothing.
After that, he left me as he walked to the entrance of our mansion where they were servants and that fell into lines just to greet him.
Everyday scenarios like this, it's suck.
I silently followed my father and didn't bother to greet them back. I made my way to the extravagant stairs, you couldn't see anything but cozy things in every corner of this mansion that I couldn't call my home.
I hurriedly went to my room and locked it, I don't want to see anyone right now. I just want to be alone, at peace. I throw my body on the bed I feel so exhausted. I fell asleep and I woke up in the sounds of ringing coming from my phone.
I already know who's the caller. i
" What now, Crisha?" I said after I answered the call. and I check the time on the screen it's already 7 pm, ohh I overslept.
I heard her irritating giggles on the other line
" I know that voice," she said and even though I couldn't see her I know she was forming a smirk right now " hmm..let me guess, the old man scolded you for God knows how many times today, how's that?" She mocked as she let out an annoying laugh.
" Oh shut, the f**k up." Annoyance was very visible in my voice.
" Come on, KC. I bet you're bored why not
go with us and have some fun tonight , isn't it a great idea?" She persuades me on the other line.
I rolled my eyes even though she couldn't see it.
I snorted
" As if I could pass from dad's men " I replied
They will not let me pass without my dad's permission.
" Oh come, KC let's be real." She hissed on the other line as if it was her first time to hear me helpless and that's so impossible and unusual for a girl named Karina Cassidy Tyson.
I smirk at her remarks, She really knows me well, she's my best friend after all.
If they won't let me pass then it's fine, I have a secret exit that no one knows. Well, my dad Is right I'm his so hardheaded daughter but what can I do? I just want to be free.
