BILLIONAIRE'S BETRAYAL

She's a tutor

Krizzia is with the couple, drinking coffee at the huge terrace of the mansion. Having a good conversation with the things that they are interested in, when the kid's voice echoed as it went down, fighting with his nanny.

They all reacted, and turned to see what was happening inside the house. Worried.

That was her stubborn student. The one that she's teaching.

"I said, I don't want to study! Don't you get it?" Brent shouted as his voice invaded the whole place. He has this kind of sharp voice that will break everyone's eardrums.

Especially, when he's annoyed. He's always like that. Spoiled and sensitive.

"I'm sorry with our son so stubborn Krizzia." Mr. Reid apologized to her in advance. Which she declined to accept. Shaking her head with a sweet smile just like she always wears. For a good vibes.

"It's okay sir, I can still manage him." She cheered up while putting down her tea cup and stood up after.

"Gotta go to him, Sir/Ma'am." The old man just nod at her in response. Excusing herself. Bowed to them before leaving. She went inside to see her student, Brent. But by the time she approached him...

Brent pushed her mightily, then pointed her as if he was giving warning for her not to come by him. Angry. "Don't go near me! I do not want to study!" Brent turned that way because he was being bullied at his school before. He has no friends and was an introverted child. He came to hate the world because no one wanted to be close to him.

The reason why he decided not to go to school anymore is because he's afraid to indulge with the people in the community, especially kids along his age. And yeah, before Krizzia became his tutor many did try to teach him well but, they ended up being beaten by Brent. Usually, those tutors won't last a week and give up on him because of his nonstop stubbornness.

When the parents saw her trying so hard and did not leave their son for almost a month now, it made them hope again that their son will be alright and get back to his old self soon.

They gave faith on Krizzia's talent. For being patient, soft, kind, and hard-working. To their son's recovery from phobia. Especially, that they saw progress. Every time Krizzia left, their son would study by himself. Krizzia left those things for him. Even though their child abuse and beat Krizzia's kindness it wouldn't change the fact that their child is starting to like his tutor teacher.

"Okay, how about we go play first before we study? Is that okay for you, Brent?" She asked, trying to convince Brent at the same time. They are now in the living area. The kid is sitting on the couch while she is kneeling in front of him, so she could make their heights equal.

"Play?" Seems like she got the attention of the kid. He really loves to play. In recent days, Krizzia was bullied by the kids. Abused as it is called. He showered her the acrylics while they were learning to paint. Though, it was not the reason for Krizzia to give up on her students.

She understands the kid's situation and if you are thinking of the salary as her reason to not give up. You're wrong. She was once into this situation. She was fat when she was in elementary school. Kids her age bullied her for being fat. Naturally, it made her sad, it even made her lose self-esteem.

The couple did hire a physician for him, but Brent became wild and unstoppable. Leading the couple not to pursue it anymore.

Her parents transferred her to different schools, but it went the same. Kids her age, hate fatty kids. They bully her. One time a boy hurt her bad that makes up her mind to fight back. No kid is idealized to live in a world just like Brent does. That's why she's there to help because she believes that he will come out again and conquer the world by himself with no fear. When that happens, it'll be the biggest achievement she will get.

"Do you swear that?" Brent asked her, asking for assurance. She nod at him. Agreed with his requests.

"But, promise me that we will be studying after?" the kid puts his pointer finger on his chin. Well, thinking of a naughty idea again. He smiled when he captured an idea, definitely agreed to her proposal. "Okay! Let's do that!" the couple heard that and knew their child... It somehow made them feel pity for Krizzia. "Yaya! bring my toys at the pool area" even the way he commanded was undeniably arrogant! The nanny then follows his request and went upstairs to get his toys.

"Wait for me at the pool, teacher!" Krizzia followed the kid's order. Having the positive vibes for the kid about not doing naughty actions with her again. She went to the pool area and waited patiently. She did not know what Brent would want to play but, as long as it could make him happy... Then she will provide it for him. The Reid's mansion did not fail to amaze her, from the outside proportions to the insides. It looks elegant and attractive. Even though she saw it every day... It's just so pleasing and relaxing. She wonders how much it costs for a place like this.

She may once experience living in a real estate home, but never get the chance to confirm the price. Now that she thought of it, she felt dismayed by herself.

"Teacher! Here!" Brent called her cheerfully. She raised her head to see him and stood up after. He's with his nanny who carries his things and toys.

"What do you want us to play?" She asked. Curious. The kid smiled at her. She doubts it. But, did not mind it as a negative one and just waited for Brent's next instruction. To her, negative thoughts will just distract her with nonsensical things. Reason why she ended up being abused by the kid too.

Brent showed her a picture, "Here, I want you to build this house." so the game he meant is LEGO and he wants her to make a house! Wow, she likes it.

"Okay, then what are you going to do?" she asked again.

"I'm gonna make a trail way!" Brent then got the other box and showed him the other toys. The both of them become busy.

She was making the foundation wall, when the kid clung itself behind her back. She didn't say anything. She is squatting by the bermuda grass while assembling the wall without knowing that Brent pinned something behind her back. It's a toy-reality lizard that moves for a few seconds. After putting it on her, he pulled himself out and made the trail. He splashed the oil to the tiled sides of the pool near Krizzia. They put those traffic precaution cones and the signage in the safe place to manipulate her and believe the place as a danger while she could believe the danger zone as a safe place.

Brent then moved and went to the cones to act hurt. "O-ouch!"

By the time she heard the kid groaning in pain. Krizzia can't help herself but be worried. "Brent, what happened to you?" she stood up and saw the kid aching in pain. He's crying. Because of his injury in the leg. She's worried!

"It hurts" she did not hesitate to move. She has to bring Brent inside and cure the pain.

However... "Teacher! there's a big lizard on your shoulder!" Brent looks believable, enough to fool her.

right at that place that Brent made a bait, she slowly looked at her shoulder and saw the big lizard, "Ahhhh!" she shouted. She's afraid of lizards and she hates the feeling of the animal on her skin! Thinking that it is in her body. Damn, she can't stop feeling the cringe. She had goosebumps, her breathing gone fast. But, upon moving, she slipped by the slippery tiles and fell to the water. The kid just laughed at her.

"So, dumb! Hahaha!" then stood up to get the lizard toy. Krizzia is drowning and is crawling in the water trying so hard to survive. The part that she fell into was the deepest. She's also a bit far from the side of the pool.

Brent showed her the toy, which she did not have the time to see. Shes bothered by her situation. She doesn't know how to swim. It's scaring her. Her fear of the sea came to life again. "It's just a toy! hahaha!"

She was once drowned.

"Oh my god!! Ma'am!" the nanny screamed and went inside to ask for help. "Madam, the teacher is in the pool! She's drowning!"

Mrs. Reid stood up. "What?!" Mr. Reid stood up too, and rushed towards the pool. There they witness their son, laughing so hard while his teacher is on the verge of life and death.

"Brent! What did you do?!" Mrs. Reid couldn't help but shout and scold her son. While her husband dived into the water and saved the pity teacher.

The kid shrugged and showed her the toy, "We are just playing, mom" he said as if it was just a simple game. For god's sake! He's gonna kill his teacher!

"Play?! Look at her, you almost killed her!" Brent's emotions change into being scared. He's bound to cry because of his mother getting angry at him.

Krizzia was almost out of breath. She is dripping wet and is now coughing the water out. While she's being taken care of by her boss. She wants to cry for taking so much water from the pool. The water is making her throat and stomach in pain that lead her to vomit again and again. Mrs. Reid commanded her child to go to his room and will not come out if she said so. In short, the kid is being punished by not letting him out of his room.

"Oh god, I'm sorry Krizzia" Mrs. Reid apologized.

Krizzia gets herself up from Mr. Reid's support and look up at the woman. "It's okay, madam. I just didn't know that this was his intention. I should've known about it."

Mr. Reid stood up with a firm and disappointed emotion on his face. Exactly, angry for almost killing his teacher who did not do bad things to him and just kindness.

"Brent should learn his lessons, I cannot tolerate this anymore."

That made Krizzia nervous. She's afraid of the child going to experience punishment. She cannot allow that. She's just fine and alright too. No need for them to punish him. For she believes that the kid will realize his mistakes by himself very soon. After all, she is his tutor and her job is to teach him those. Make his mind open for everything. To support him along the way.

"I apologize, sir, for I cannot allow that to happen. The kid will not grow if we punish him. We will just hurt him. So, instead of punishing him... I suggest that we teach him more about life and what's good and not. And also make him realize his own mistakes."

"But, he hurt you. These things have gotten worse and he hurts you every day. Still, okay to you?" Mrs. Reid couldn't help but ask her. To be honest, She was scared. She even thinks of dying. Though, she did not give up because she wants to live and continue what she was doing.

"I'm lying if I tell you that I'm not, but believe me. I cannot give up your son. I won't leave him unless he's healed. I wanna be there for him and make him see that he is not alone. Not everybody hates him and I cherish him." yeah, that's true. Brent may hurt her many times... but she won't allow the kid's future to be broken. Punishments can't also solve the kid's situation too.

She believes that one day. he'll change and open himself to the world again.
