Mafia Secret Heiress
Every day, my underground room echoed with punches, shouts, and the sounds of strength.
Instructors arrived—chosen by my father. Martial arts first: taekwondo, karate, judo. Then arnis and eskrima, weapons training. Each step, each movement, I grew stronger.
But it wasn’t just physical. At night, memories returned—the broken vase, my mother’s cruel hands, her screams. Every tear I shed, I rose again.
“Di na ako magiging mahina”
One night, my instructor noticed my exhaustion.
“Kazmiyah,” he said, holding my shoulder, “anger alone isn’t enough. It gives strength, yes, but if it’s all you have, it will destroy you.”
