Chapter 2

I immediately dressed up after taking a long bath. I'm not still okay, after what happened yesterday I don't know how to face them.

I went out of my room and immediately went to the kitchen, I'm kinda hungry, I never eat anything.

They are already eating, it's my first time eating with them, I approached them and quietly sat down and started eating.

"Jax, tomorrow you need to wake up early" Jax's mom said

"Why?" Jax asked while looking at his mom, I also want to ask but my curiosity will just kill me, my sister will just gonna me of her hurtful words.

"The Santiago will come" Jax's mom answered.

"Does my cousin will also go here too?" Jax asked.

"Of course! That's their son" Jax's mom answered laughing.

They laughed except me, this is the scene always, they talked and laughed at each other's joke, while, I was just a display in this house.

I excuse my self when I finished eating, I go out of the mansion and went to the sea.

I'd rather be here, peace and quiet, there's no argument that will occur.

There's also a reason why my sister hates me, its because, in school, a lot of boys want to date me, but I never agreed, because.... I just don't like it.

My sister wants that she's the only one who needs to be praised and loved by all people around her, she thought she was the only woman in the world.

I like the seawater in here, it's clear, it's pristine blue waters and soft sand. While there are no fancy restaurants on Nacpan Beach, there are small shacks where you can enjoy local snacks.

Someone pat me so I turned around, and it was Jax, I just looked at him and shifted my gaze at the sea.

"hey, Ashrielle.....I'm sorry" I stopped because of what he said, then I looked at him "actually...."

I'm not sure what I will be going to do but I know this is the only way to make my life have peace, but I think it was a good idea.

"actually what?" he asked

I turned around and talked again "Maybe it's better if... Starting now we will go to ignore each other"

I know that one day it will going to happen so that's why I did it.

"What? No Ashrielle! No! look I'm so sorry, it's not my intention to be mad at you---"

He did not finish what he said because I suddenly spoke

"I don't care if it's not your intention to be mad at me Jax, I said, let's going to ignore each other, it's not a question so don't answer it, dot it, don't you like that? You can do whatever you want"

After saying that I immediately left and went to my dad's office.

When I was in front of my dad's office I immediately knocked on it and went inside.

"What do you want hija?" dad asked

"Can I go to manila next week?" I asked

He nodded and smiled "of course you can, I will just going to tell Mang Ed later that he will be going to send you on next week"

You see, he's so nice, the best dad "Thank you!"

He just nodded and continued his work, I went out of the office and went to my bedroom.

I took my book and went to the bed and began to read.

A few minutes later there was a sudden knock on the door so I stood up and opened it.

"Ma'am Ashrielle, Jax's mom was calling you" our maid said. I nodded, then she immediately left.

I think we were going to swim in the sea, it's kinda boring right now so it's a good thing they invited me.

I went to my walk-in closet and take my two-piece.

After I got dressed up, I took. my robe and immediately went out of the room.

I went out of the house and went straight to the sea, Maybe they were already there.

When I arrived at the beach they are already swimming, I went to the chair and sit in there.

I looked at them, they look perfect as a family, I can say that my sister really belongs to them.

A few minutes later, I decided to take a dip at the sea so I immediately removed my robe, revealing my body.

I went to the deepest area of the sea to see various types of fish, I know how to swim because when I was young my dad taught me how to swim.

In the middle of watching the fish, I saw Sophia gradually approaching me, when she was in front of me, she smiled and swim upward.

She's crazy, after a few minutes I decided to go up.

I do not know what happened, when I was going to approach them, they were panicking. I saw my sister, she was crying.

I looked at Jax, but when I looked at him, he was fuming mad, he slowly walking towards me, I walked backward but in my last step, I fell on the sand.

I looked at Sophia because she suddenly talks.

"I d-did not do a-anything wrong t-to Ashrielle, s-she suddenly p-pulled me down in the sea l-like she wants to d-drown me, I a-almost can't breathe" she said while sobbing

I thought that she has a bad intention because she just suddenly came to me.

I stood up to approach Sophia but then, Jax suddenly grabs my hand, I looked at him, asking him what he wants.

He shook his head "Why did you do that to Sophia? You're too much Ashrielle! Do you want to kill her?!" He asked angrily

My eyes were teary, even before I was always the one who did badly for them, what my sister would say, they believed it even if it's not true.

I also don't want to explain, because it's useless. I don't need to explain myself to someone for them to believe me, I will let them believe what they think about me, nothing's new even you explain yourself they judge you already.

"Why Jax? Did you believe her?" I asked

He did not say anything so I continued talking "Did you know that I can't do that to her? Even she will be going to do something bad to me, I will not gonna fight back, do you know why?"

Then he slowly released my hand.

"Because if I'm going to fight back, I will be the one who will look bad, I did not even defend my self because it's useless, I just let you what will you think about me, because what's new? I'm still the bad one"

I looked at my sister that is also looking at me, even Jax's parents were already looking at me, maybe they heard everything, but what the use of it? They will still be going to believe my sister.

I immediately left because I knew nothing would change, I went straight to the bedroom to get dressed.

You wouldn't know that you're are numb because of the pain that you feel. So every time when someone is hurting me, it was just like normal to me because I feel numb.

I took my phone to call my friend, Yes, I have a

"Hey... Cass"

[hello, who is this?!]

"It's Ashrielle" I answered laughing

[I don't know you, bye! Joke hahaha! Why didn't you call me earlier?! I sai---]

"Chill... I will be there next week " I said

[huh? I thought it was next month?] she asked

"Yes but..... I don't like it here, and don't you like it? We can hang out together" I said

[Is there something bad that happens? There is nothing really good that happened there! But what is it?!] She asked

I told her everything about what happened in here, she's a friend that you can tell anything, even your problem.

[What do you want? Do you want me to go there? Or to have a fight with your sister?!] she asked angrily, this girl!

"No thanks, and also that already told Mang Ed to send me to Manila" I said

[Okay, let's just talk tomorrow, I need to do something] she said

"Okay, bye" and I immediately hang up the call

After the call, I immediately went to sleep, tomorrow the Santiago will come here, in our mansion so I need to wake up early, I will just going to pray that my sister will not be going to do something bad.

There will be a preparation tomorrow because the Santiago will be going here, therefore we will be all busy.

Maybe they will be talking about the business, the products that will be released, cause they are having collaboration, the Lopez company, and Santiago's company.

Wish me luck, my sister will literally talk bad about me in front of them, if I can just change my life, I will literally change it.
