The Walker’s Game

CHAPTER ONE

“So that is all a game to you?” I asks Ace while my tears are running down from my cheeks when I have learned that the reason he flirted with me, and kisses with me and… did me, is all because it was a dare, that my sister -- Step-sister gave to him. I am embarrassed to look around while my evil step-sister, Pearl and her gang are recording the happenings right now. Recorded when Ace kisses my lips, gently and asking me if I love him, I do love him, then all of them came out from where they are hiding, watching every moment, Ace and I had been doing, talking. “It was not my game Seraphine. It was Pearl’s idea actually.” He said,proudly. “I’m sorry.” He said and stood up from sitting and kisses Pearl, in front of me. “Did you really believe for one second that Ace Gilbert would fall in love to a nerdy, tech or whatever you are, like you?” Pearl said after their lips touched. I was sitting, humiliated, embarrassed, and I would really love to just be eaten alive right now. “No.” I whispered. “You know the answer, then why did you still think it was possible for you huh? Who are you?” She added.

I’ve got no choice but to run from that room and kept running until I finally feel my legs tired up. I sat in the middle of the street and just cried my heart out. How could I be so stupid? I should’ve known it the first time he approached me at school. I should’ve believe my instinct that something is not right. How could I be so smart when it comes to puzzles, and riddles when I couldn’t even solve the game that Ace and Pearl played for me. How could I be so dumb. My dad did not raise me to be like this. Maybe it is because I was blinded by love to the point that I fell from the trap of the games. I should’ve seen this coming. Pearl is right, who I am?

I sigh as I remember who I am. I am the daughter of the Prime Minster…

No like actually, I am not playing right now. I am not technically or biologically the ‘daughter’ of the Prime Minister since I am only the daughter of my mother, who the Prime Minister married, four years ago. George Walker is my step-father, who married Avery Ford, which will be my biologically mother. My real father divorce Avery, my mom and move in with his new family, which where I am currently living with my two step sisters and a step mother. Yes, I do live with my dad, asking why not my mom? Well, I have complication with her, I mean, she literally the one who broke the marriage that she and dad have, by cheating on my dad… With the Prime Minister.

And I don’t exactly see myself living in a mansion with the other children of the Prime Minister. I mean, yeah, they are hot, and sexy, they all are, I am too I believe, I mean, the Prime Minister would not like my mother if she does not have a face of a beauty queen, which she have, because my mom is the 2003 first runner up in Miss Australia. But comparing to those six children George have? I am not belong there. I am a nerd, wearing a glasses, making fun by people around me I mean, he has two social media influencer girls, I am definitely not fit to be there, and he has four hot boys… especially Ashton Walker! His chiseled jaw, his dark tousled hair, his thick eyebrow… Everything about him screams, perfeciones. I think I have a crush on him, but I cannot. I am part of the family. And that is just disgusting if people would think about that, I would be kicked out immediately as my mother’s daughter.

But thankfully, no one knows that my mother is the wife of the Prime Minister. They only know me as no one, know me as the Cinderella who lives under the roof of a step mom who does not care about me. Whom mother left… They don’t know I am the one who left my mother.

What if they know that I am the daughter of Avery Ford-Walker? Will the treatment be different from the treatment they are doing right now to me? Will the bullying stops? Will they see me? I should’ve live with my mother, what would be my life like? But I have to stand my decision, I declined the offer before, I wouldn’t fall for it, ever, even if I am being tempt to be there.

As soon as I got home, I went straight to my room and let my tears run down from my eyes. Is this the life I deserved to have? My dad, I know he loves me, he protects me from danger, but he couldn’t protect me from his outside daughter. Afraid that it might ruin the new marriage he selected to Kathryn, my step mother. He just talks to Pearl to stop messing with me, which she did, only when we are at home, but when we are outside? She keeps messing with me, and she wouldn’t stop messing with me. This new family that dad chosen does not know that I am part of the prime Minister's family, but I chose not to speak any of it, they wouldn’t believe me anyways, call me liars if I did, and maybe will make my life a living hell from it.
