AIRES' POV My heart arched painfully as I stared at the broken pieces on the floor, it wasn't just the broken trophy that got to me, it was my father's action, he was staring at me with so much hate and anger in his eyes and I just couldn't hold back anymore, "why do you hate me so much? Ever since I knew you, you have never given me any fatherly love, what did I do to make you despise me so much?" I wrenched out, my heart torn into pieces, "are you questioning me? You wanna show me that you're now a man huh?" He snarled at me but I was beyond caring, I glared right back, "you know what? I am done trying to prove myself to you because no matter what I do, you still won't look my way, you can go to hell for all I care" I yelled at him and his palm connected with my cheek, my head reeled and my hand formed a fist, I held myself in check to keep from punching him, "you think you are tough huh, you think you're now a man and can challenge me" he clenched out as he brought out his whip, "
[Author's POV]Daisy sat alone at the school canteen, staring at her untouched lunch, she has not been able to swallow the bitter news that her mother is getting married in a few weeks from now, "dad, where are you?" She whispered, she would not be able to forgive her mother, why was she getting remarried anyways? A finger snapped across her face and she blinked, "earth to girl, why are you looking so lost?" Desiree asked as she sat down with her tray of food in front of her, Daisy sighed, she might as well tell her, she needed someone to tell it out to anyways, "my mum is getting married"Desiree arched a brow, "I see that you are not okay with it""Of cause, not Desiree, she is getting married to a total stranger, I don't even know him""You might get to know him eventually, what if he turns out to be nice""I don't care, what if someday my dad returns""Are you kidding me?

[Author's POV]Aires decided to go home immediately after school, his mind was on Daisy as he opened the door, he pondered in what she said, she envied him because of his dad, she thinks he is that rich and spoilt child of his father, he shook his head, if only she knew, he was about to pull off his uniform when he heard a loud thud, it came from the direction of his father's room, he frowned, he thought he was the only one at home, his dad was supposed to be in his office, his mum in her karaoke shop and Jasmine was still supposed to be at college, so, what the hell was that sound, quietly, he went to where he thought he had heard the sound, and placed his ear on the door, there, he heard it again, a loud thud and groaning this time around, he thought it sounded like the voice of his dad, quickly, he pushed the door opened and his eyes bulged at the sight before him, his father was seated on the floor, with a bottle of alcohol in his hand, his top to middle button was opened and his
Daisy's POVI sighed immediately after I heard the bell for lunch break, I quickly stood up with my lunch bag, I was starving, I hadn't eaten the day before nor did I have any breakfast, and the thought of having to start living with Celine under the same roof in a few weeks from now is enough to make me lose appetite but mum was determined to go ahead with the wedding, she doesn't wanna listen to me, what do I matter to her anyways? She's fixated on getting married and of all the men she chose, it has to be Celine's dad, the thought of it always makes me wanna scream in frustration but as time goes by, I thought long and hard about it and decided that my mother can do whatever she wants, all I have to do is to study hard and if I do well enough, I just might be able to get into college sooner than I ought to, I will choose a college that is very far from home and once I gain admission, I will never show my face to my mother ever again.I sighed, bringing out my lunch box from my lunc
Aires POVWe were having dinner, just Jasmine, mum, and I, as usual, dad was not around, although, I didn't feel like eating, I struggled to make the mashed potatoes mum had prepared to pass my throat, I didn't want her to feel bad or worry unnecessarily, I was about to swallow my third spoon of the potatoes when dad entered, a different kind of air immediately filled the room, a tensed and uncomfortable environment, he paused and stared at us and then his eyes zeroed on me and immediately darkened in anger, I knew that I was going to get it hot from him today as soon as our school principal had decided to call him earlier, I braced myself for the backlash that will soon be bequeathed to me, slowly, I stood up from the table and stared straight at him, willing him to hit me so that we can get it over with, my mum stood up along with Jasmine, all three of us stood facing him, his nostrils flare as he stared at me,"Aires, go inside" my mum instructed me, trying her best to deflate the

Aires' POVI sat alone in the basketball court, school hour is over but I am not in a hurry to go back home, I had told the principal that I needed to do extra time reading in the school, so she had permitted me to stay in the school after instructing me to make sure that I lock up when I am done, my mind is flooded with different questions, I lay alone in the basketball court and stared at the amulet in my hand, I wonder what it stands for, I placed it around my neck, then taking out the little penknife I had put earlier in my bag, I slit my palm and watched blood ooze out, it didn't heal on its own, slowly, I removed the amulet from around my neck and watched as the injury closed up and I didn't feel an ounce of pain anymore, what could this mean? Who gave me the amulet? I think it's time I talked to mother about how I got the amulet and to understand why my injuries would get healed on their own, I need to keep wearing the amulet, I do not want to get injured one day and everyone

I said, as soon as I entered her shop, depositing a kiss on her cheeks,"Hey Aires, what are you doing here?" She asked, looking surprised."I want to speak to you mum.
