They Want Her

"Are you excited to meet them?" her mom asked in joy.Krysie blew a loud breath and closed her luggage. She picked up her brown shoulder bag and see to it if she ever forgot something before they'll proceed and left this small apartment of hers."No, I'm not," she replied bluntly. "You know, mom, I'm already eighteen. I can manage on my own. I am in my legal age. Stop acting like I'm a baby.""You are my baby." She walked in her direction and caressed her face. She tucked some strands of Krysie's hair behind her ears and smiled. "You are the only treasure he left to me. I can't stand watching you living alone in this world and not being able to attend your school because of your part-time works."You can live with me and Hermano until you finish your study. He would be happy knowing my princess will be living with me."After her daddy died three years ago, she started living and working on her own. She barely attends school because of her part-time works and thankfully, the administra

“GOSH! My daughter looks pretty on her uniform, don't you think, hon?” her mother said the moment she arrived inside the dining area for breakfast.Everyone looked at her and she suddenly felt awkward after seeing how her stepbrothers eyed her from head to foot.She's wearing a wrist-length plated pink skirt, white button-up polo covered with a pink blazer that has the logo of their school at her chest, black shiny mary joy shoes, and knee-length socks. A perfect image for a high school girl.“She is,” Hermano agreed. “Have a seat, Sey.”She showed her tight smile before walking towards the chair right next to Carson. She awkwardly took her seat as he felt some stares coming from her stepbrothers.“Your brother, Hunter will take you to school, is that okay with you?” Hermano asked.Krysie lifted her gaze to her stepbrother who's now silently eating and didn't even bother to disagree with what his father said.Is he planning something?“S-sure.” She doesn't wanna look rude or something

“Mommy, what are you cooking?” Krysie asked the moment she entered their kitchen.It's still six in the morning and she's already up. Her first class would be this nine in the morning so she had time to rest before going to school.“Cooking for my baby's breakfast,” her mother replied.Krysie raised her brows. “Babies?”Her mother chuckled with her confusion and continue cooking. “My children. You and your brothers, what else?”Krysie pursed her lips and nodded her head in understanding. She heads to their fridge and looks for something to eat or drink. She's hungry.“What happened to your hand?”She looked at her mom and to her hand that was wrapped with a bandage to avoid the ointment, she applied last night to touch her duvet and sheets.“Oh?” She showed her hands. “This is just nothing, mom. Besides, it was Kuya Elias who cured my burn last night.”“Kuya? What's that mean?”She pulled out a single apple fruit and closed the door of the fridge. She sat at the high stool of their ki

“Do you think they would like it?” she said; sounded very hesitant and unsure.Her mother nodded her head happily and kissed her forehead. “Your dish tasted great, my baby. I'm sure Elias would be happy and love your dish!”She smiled tightly. It's already eight in the evening, time for dinner. She made an effort for cooking a simple dish to thank Elias for aiding her burn last night. She was careless of her actions that's why it happened, and now she owes him one.Krysie helped the maids distribute plates and other utensils on the table, including the dishes and other foods for tonight. Some of the maids stopped her but she didn't listen. She's not a princess of this house, so she had to work her ass off. Who knows her stepbrothers are talking about her behavior behind her back.“Change yourself, Sey. Then call your brothers for dinner,” her mother instructed her.She nodded her head and headed upstairs. She really needs to change because she looks like a mess. She can even smell her

A month had passed and she's still doing the same; avoiding her stepbrothers as much as she can. Carson tried to approach her but she ditched him. She's afraid of him, including Hunter. She learned her lessons and decided to never come near them again. They are dangerous."Krysie," her mother called. "Are you sure you won't come? Our maids are on their day off and you'll be left here in the house alone. Elias is still on his duty and maybe won't be home tonight."She politely shook her head and tapped the tip of her pen on her desk. She's doing her homework and her mother is persuading her to come with them to a very classy event and of course, Carson and Hunter will be there."I'm good here, mom. I can handle myself. Take care," she said.True to be told, she hates parties. And if she'll choose between staying at home and going to a party, she'd rather lock herself inside her room and spend time alone. She's used to being alone and maybe that's the reason why after her father's death
