Sam's POV
Heavy foot steps are the only sound that can be heard on the hallway of the Gutierrez's mansion.
"Open the door!"
-she yelled on the men guarding her father's office
"Ma'am, boss ordered not to let anyone inside, unless it was an urgent business."
-she glared on the man who talked, she's passed her limit. Now she's mad.
"DAD! OPEN THE DOOR OR ELSE I'LL JUMP ON THE WINDOW!"
-she shouted loudly, and her dad seems to heard
"Suit yourself young lady, let me bet a million dollars, you can never do it. Hahaha!"
-her dad answered laughing
"Fine! I'll go to a bar and get myself drunk until I die!"
-she shouted and thumped her foot loudly. Her dad stopped laughing and cleared his throat.
"Let her in."
-her dad told the guards
She barged in her dad's office and sat on the sofa opposite from where her dad is sitting.
She then crossed her arms and legs, her dad placed the book he was holding on the table and looked at her with a confused expression.
"What is it this time? I just filled up your card, I bought you a new car and also a new condo, so what is it that you still want?"
Yes, she was spoiled. As Samantha Gutierrez, she can get whatever she wants, but that doesn't include freedom. She's always locked up in her room, and she either practiced kung fu and taekwondo on their backyard with her father's men or going to a bar with at least a dozen of bodyguards following her. Sounds annoying, right? One time she was just tripped by a strangers foot while walking and they already pointed their guns at him. And guess what? You're right, all the people ran out of the mall like crazy. Worse is, we were driven out and was banned. Great right? Oh well, I told them not to say any word to the owner, like, I was Mr. Daniel Gutierrez's daughter and tell him he can close their entire business.
I.AM.SO.SICK.OF.THIS.LIFE!
That's it. Tha't what I always feel, in my 16 years of existence, I have never explored the world, neither my country. I am always locked in this prison-like-house.
And let me tell you, I am not like my dad. And I don't ever wanna be like my dad. NEVER!.
I have my own opinion, thoughts, principles and judgement, I am not a robot and I am not dumb. I am educated.
"I've told you so many times dad, I want to be independent. I want to live in my own apartment not being followed by those annoying wearing all black outfit freaks."
-this was my, I think, 100th times telling him. He never listens to me. All he said was like-
"I did all of this to keep you safe. You're old enough to understand what I did, don't make me repeat myself again."
-dad stood up and walked towards his table to get a new set of papers to read. See? He said it again, again and again. Omygosh! When will this hell like life ever end up?
"But dad..."
-he turned to me and glared
"I said stop."
-he said with authority. But it will never stop me to speak the truth, my heart.
"Can you just please hear my side? My reason? My feelings? Dad, you are always blinded by those reasons. You're trying to keep me safe but I think you're gathering more public attention by doing these."
-I was teary eyed at that moment and my dad's glare softened.
"I kmow you love me dad, you care for me, and you want to protect me. But please consider my feelings, I also want to live a normal life, like others do. I want to spread my principles, I want to help the weak, like Cardo, my role model."
-I can see that he is baffled by his own thoughts and judgement, he looked away trying to figure out what is the right thing to do at this moment.
"Dad, I am begging you for the last time. I won't ask for anything, your support and trust will do."
-I said sincerely, I really wanted to persuade him this time. The past were just unprepared trials, but now, I cannot just back down. I came prepared. Totally prepared, I will stood my ground no matter what.
He once again looked at me, closed his eyes, and breathed heavily.
"Okay, but promise me, promise me that you will never get yourself in trouble. And that you will always call me, especially when you feel like dangers is on its way to you. Your mom will haunt me if anything happens to you."
-I was shookt whith his response, did he just said "Yes"? For all the times I tried to persuade him were not thrown in vain, I have gained his trust. But it is still written all over his face, the doubt on his own decision.
My mom died of cancer when I was just five, and so my dad took care of me ever since. He was like both a mother and a father to me, he never let me leave his sight.
"I will dad, I will call you every week. And will keep a low profile, as long as no one needs my help. You know me, I wanna be a superhero."
-I said cheekily and smiled sweetly to my dad. I ran towards him and he hugged me tightly, like I am going to live far away.
"Dad, don't worry. I am going to choose an apaartment that is only a miles away from here. So that you won't end up being in a mental."
-I said jokingly and my fathet slightly tapped my head, and we both laughed.
"Okay sweety, when do you plan to leave?"
-Hmm... I was thinking about that too.
"Maybe after I found a suitable and simple apartment with a pleasant environment. But, while I am still looking for an apartment, I would like to transfer to a public high school to continue my senior high school life."
-I said smiling to my dad, and he smiled back, he never fails me.
"Do you need my help with anything?"
-he said while tapping my head
"Nope, I can handle this myself. Just please stop your men to follow me, I am old enough. Dad, remember, I was born strong and ready. I can fight, remember? All the things you taught were not thrown on nothing."
-I said showing him my slightly tensed bicep mucles. And he laughed, do I really look like a laughable human?
"Okay, okay, I know. Now, if you can just repay the favor I granted you, will you please cook your dad a proper meal? Let me see if I can really let you live on your own."
-ohh... Forgive me if I forgot to tell, while staying in this house my entire life, I was so bored that I already know how to do all the household chores. I am an even better cook than my nanny. Even thought I get whatever I want, I still know how to live and do the basic things a human should.
"Dad, up here!"
-I held my hand up waiting for my dad to respond, but got an "Ehh!" from him and shooed me away.
And with that, I walked out and headed straight to the kitchen.
