“You never trust me Dad!!!” I yelled at his face and in a few seconds, a hard slap hit my face. “You reckless child! You never listen to me!!! You’re just like your mom, piece of shit” he was about to slap me once again, in front of all his guests when Timothy stood in front of me and received his slap instead.
Everyone gasped when they saw Timothy get slapped by my dad. My lips parted as tears spread all over my eyes. “T-Timothy” I uttered and he gently held my hands and looked at me. “Let’s go” he whispers and in just a glimpse we run away from that place where all of judgement are on me.

Cybelle’s POV“Kids are already asleep” I said, as I stepped inside our room, after dealing with Louen and Ashton.

“Darlin, how much is your rice cake?” I instantly smiled at the customer as she stood in front of my small place here, as I sell little rice cakes.“10 pesos each, ma’am,” I answered and quickly grabbed a plastic bag from my apron pocket. “I’ll buy 6 pieces,” she said. I nodded joyfully and put 6 pieces of freshly cooked rice cake on the plastic, then handed it to her.“Here’s the money,” she said as give me a crumbled 60 pesos and left. I smile and count the money on my belt bag before I continue selling my rice cake.“Rice cake, it’s delicious and affordable!!!!” I shouted, “Justine!” I glanced at the side when I saw my mother coming. “Ma,” I uttered and tightened my grip on my belt bag, where I put the money in.“Justine, how much have you earned today?&
“Manila?” I asked and I know that place and that it is far from our province.

"You'll be a stripper, Justine," my eyes immediately widened because of what he said. My whole body went cold and I couldn't seem to move for a few seconds due to panic. Will I be like the woman on stage?! Out of fear, I backed away and shook my head, saying, "I don't want to!" I said, I don't want to be like the woman on stage. I looked at it and I was softened to see how much the men around her coveted her. Throwing money like a female kind of person, I can’t afford to be like this. “Justine, don't you want to earn money, this is the only thing I can help you to earn a lot of money without having to go through the long process of finding a job. And you can combine it with your studies because you only do this work at night. ” she tapped my shoulder and fix some strand of my hair, put it at the back of my ears. "But I can't do this kind of
