My father was the sole provider in our family. He had a food stand on the side of the road, where he worked every day under hot sun. I knew how difficult it was for my father, so when the school bully, Jimmy Anderson, pressed my head down the toilet, I did not fight back. When Jimmy asked me to treat him like he was a king, I did not refuse either. I was afraid that I would make Jimmy unhappy, and he would then cause trouble for my father. So, I tolerated it for many years. Before the SATs, I thought I would finally be free. However, Jimmy forced me to be an escort at a bar, and I was tortured to death by the client he assigned me. While I was being tortured, I saw someone that I would never have dreamed of being there through the gap in the private room door. I saw my father, who was usually dressed modestly. Yet, he was decked out in luxury clothing here. He looked wealthy, and everyone around him was fawning over him and pleasing him. Wearing a big smile on his face, my father had his arm around Jimmy, who had bullied me for three whole years. He told Jimmy that his future would be bright.

My adoptive father, Aaron Lind, owns a gym. He has always lived by one rule and taught me the same. "If you stand on the side of reason and justice, you'll never lose." When I turn 18, my biological parents, Cedric Mercer and Katherine Vane, appear at my doorstep. They claim that I am the long-lost heiress of the Mercer family. Those who practice martial arts value gratitude above all else. One must never forget the debt owed to those who gave them life. Hence, I carry Pops' old canvas bag and head to the Mercer residence. Their adopted daughter, Lyra Mercer, rises from the couch with a sweet smile. "Kendra, you must be tired after such a long journey." I lift my canvas bag. "I got this." The butler, Harrison Reyes, leads me upstairs. … An hour later, I come downstairs to find Lyra leaning against Katherine's shoulder, weeping. A clear handprint marks her face. When she sees me, she shrinks back. "Why did you slap me, Kendra?" All eyes in the room lock onto me like daggers. I walk toward her and raise my hand. The very next second, a sharp gust of wind sweeps through the room, and everyone's expressions change. My hand stops just inches from her face. I spread my fingers, holding them right next to the handprint on her cheek. Ten years of training have hardened my knuckles with calluses. My hand is a full size larger than the imprint left on her cheek. "Does my hand match the mark on your face?" The fingers she's using to cover her face curl inward. "If you can't bring yourself to slap yourself properly, get someone else to help you next time." I dust off my hands nonchalantly. "When you're done with your performance, remember to call me for dinner."
