"What are you doing here?!" Vivian shouted as she dropped the stick.

"Is this how you're supposed to be talking to your father?!" He shouted back.

"Can you even call yourself a father when all you've ever done is making my mum and I work while you take all the money for gambling, and now. You even dare to come and show me your money?!" Vivian yelled in anger.

"And how can you call yourself a daughter when you ran away from home 6 years ago?!" He yelled back.

"IF I STAYED THERE, YOU WOULD'VE SOLD ME TO YOUR TO ONE OF YOUR DEBTORS! YOU THOUGHT THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING DIDN'T YOU?! NOW GET OUT OF MY LIFE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU!" Vivian exploded in hatred.

"WHAT ABOUT YOUR MUM THEN?!" He shouted.

"My mother...?" Vivian froze in realisation.

"That's right! Your mother, don't you want to know about how your mother has been doing?" He exclaimed in nervousness.

"Follow me," she responded in a cold tone as she threw away the stick and went out of the alley.

Vivian brought her father into her house and let him sat down on the couch.

"Such a nice house you've got here, I bet you have a lot of money. You could've at least shared some for me," he stated.

"I worked hard for this. If you want to have your own money, then earn it yourself. Now get to the point. What about my mum?" Vivian asked.

"Well, she had been overworking herself out. So right now, she's sick in the hospital," he replied.

"YOU GAMBLED AND BROUGHT PROSTITUTES OVER AGAIN DIDN'T YOU?! AND MUM WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO PAY OFF EVERYTHING," Vivian shouted as anger took over her once again.

Her father had nothing to say so he just looked away without responding to her which caused her to become angrier than she already was.

"You better take care of mum properly this time or else, I don't know what I'll do with my money. I am sure you know how rich celebrities are," Vivian threatened him calmly as she threw all the money that got from her bag at her father.

"That's a lot of money you've got there in your bag, do you usually carry this much money everywhere you go?" he asked out of curiosity as he counted the money after picking it up from the floor.

"None of your business, I'll send you more money later on. Just keep your mouth shut about the fact that you're my dad, it embarrasses me. Also, take care of mum properly with that money. It would be great if you could start working again yourself so that you can stop being a useless piece of shit," Vivian replied.

"Alright then, have fun living your life as a celebrity, " her father said happily and left with the money.

"Don't you dare show yourself in front of my face ever again," she stated as he went out the door.

After he father had left, she dropped herself down onto the floor due to exhaustion. She took out a packet of cigarettes and started puffing on one of them after lighting it up with a lighter. She laid down on the floor and stared at the ceiling while smoking as she remembers her life before becoming an actress.

Her childhood wasn't that bad, it was pretty ordinary. Her father was a businessman, a pretty successful one. Life was pretty peaceful, her mum and her dad got along well just like any other married couple so with her being the only child. She had received a lot of love and attention from her parents. But it all changed when she turned 13, her father's business had crashed down because of con-artist and he ended up receiving a huge debt to pay. Ever since then, he started drinking instead of working to pay off the debt. As time passes by, he became worse. While Vivian and her mum had to go out and take multiple part-time jobs, he started gambling with the money that Vivian and her mum had worked for. Not only that, but he also sleeps with other women and pleases them with the jewellery and accessories that he had bought with Vivian and her mum's money. The debt kept increasing and when Vivian's mum would tell him to stop what he's doing, he would hit her ruthlessly.
