CHAPTER one

Hearts 🔥 (1) 

3night before

The night is still young, says the alcoholic beverage in my hand as I danced my night away only to awaken and behold myself in a hotel, naked and sleeping beside me was a man, out of fear and disbelief I tiptoed my way out of the room and the moment I closed the door from behind, I ran out of the hotel like a lunatic, thankfully I won't be seeing him anymore, or so I thought?". 

Present-day.....

God as a way of making us pay for our sins, one way or the other, I thought I won't be seeing the man at the hotel three nights ago but surprised he was a business partner to my very own father, "Leonard heart". And if my father gets to find out the crazy escapade I made with his business associate, he's going to cut off my head with a flipping chainsaw. (Shuddering breathing).

"Good morning mom".  I veered closer and pined a kiss on her cheeks, mom turns to me and gave me the look, do you know? That look you get whenever you are caught doing something wrong, the stright and cold stare your mom gives when she's not happy with you, well that's the same glare mom gave to me, (creepy).

"Urgh! What crime have I committed mom?".  

I asked oblivious to the fact that I came home drunk again last night, and before you say a word, I went to a friend's birthday party and also didn't find myself in a hotel this time, hallelujah!".and yes, I love partying, they don't call me hearts fire for nothing, am always there come rain come shine.

I know I am not the best daughter in the world but I love my family, most especially my loving twin sister, she's my everything and I am willing to do anything for her and her happiness.

My question seems to get her upset but before she got a chance to reprimand me, someone else interrupted us.

"Lisa heart. 

I got up the moment I took heed of my father's deep voice and gosh! Was he furious?

"Yes, father!".  I answered back veering my gaze to the ground, rather he lifts it and I met his deep gaze on me. 

"Why were you drunk last night?". Dad asked me, for some reason I wasn't able to find my words or you can say father got me distracted, urgh, that man as a way of getting what he wants.

"No-nothing father, I wasn't drunk" in a shuddering voice I said to him, but father thought otherwise, as he pulled me close, and angrily asked me for a second time, "why were you drunk last night?". 

I knew Dad wasn't going to back down so easily, he forgets I am his daughter, the medium he uses to get words out of my mouth, is different from mine, I will not give in so easily. 

My eyes soared around as I tried to lie my way through, but luckily I got saved by my sister, "Tara" who knew how to save me from our father's indignant glare.

Tori just took a step into the living room and suddenly fell unconscious, immediately it got Father's attention, he rushed out to her and invariably forgot about me. 

Mom shoots a disappointing look at me and walked over to where dad was, anxiously waking my younger sister, who faked being unconscious just to save my ass from getting Burnt.

I watched as dad showered his love on her, his eyes were slowly tearing up when tara finally decides to wake up, we both looked at each other and shared a smile.
