I always wonder how it feels like to have a beautiful house, a happy family, and a life that is Comfortable and lastly a job which I love the most to do, but I guess some things in this world is just unfair and some things we want and expect doesn't exactly goes  as we plan.

I am Isabel Rhoan Demitri, a girl who always dream to escape this unfair realities in this world. But who am I fooling right? We cannot escape it, we need to face it rather, whether we like it or not, and here I am at age of 18 surviving to live for my dreams. My dream is to protect my fellow who needs protection, serve justice to those who deserve it and in order to do that I must protect myself first against this cruel world. The word weak is not on my vocabulary.

I just got back to the apartment I rented. I was about to cook a dinner when my phone vibrate, yeah right Isabel dinner at 2 am huh?

I read the text it was from my mother. As always, asking for money. She said my older sister ran out of allowance. Yes yeah here I am working my ass to help my sister financially in her studies. After I graduated senior high, I decided to stop and look for a job for I know my mother couldn't afford it if I continue to college, If you'll ask me, I wanted to go to college but then I have no choice but to let my older sister finish first since it's her last year on college, I couldn't even handle to see my mother struggle, so I work to somehow help her financially.

I have 3 jobs in one day. I wake up at 6 in the morning and go to Yanz seafood restaurant at 7 to do my job as a waitress, my out is 12 noon sharp, eat lunch oh yes who eats a  biscuit as lunch Isabel? You alone! Then after it I'll go to Mrs. Carter house to baby sit her twin sons until 7 pm. After baby sitting I'll directly go to La Isabela Bar. I work as a bartender there until 1:30 am.

My life is so fucked and exhausting!

"Rhoan" I heard James called me, he's also a waiter here in restaurant I work.

"Yes?!" I replied

"Table 14, make it quick he's a vip" he said while preparing another order.

I quickly grab the food and go to table 14

"Table 14, here's your order maam, s-sir" I stutter when I realized how fucking handsome the man on this table is.

Oh for the love of god why my heart keeps beating as fast as fuck!

"I know, I'm handsome miss, but we're hungry here" said the man sarcastically

"I-im sorry" I look away then serve their food and quickly go back to the kitchen.

Fuck! Calm down fucking heart. I said putting my hands where my heart is. It's not that I have never seen handsome faces, but damn that man really hits different. His eyes are ocean blue, he has this sharp jawline every girls dream of, his brows is thick that suit him well and his lips is perfect. I wonder  how does it feel to kiss his lip---wait what?! Are you freaking serious Isabel? What are you thinking? I scold my thoughts.

"Damn Rhoan"

"What!" I exclaimed "oh sorry James" I apologize

"What are you thinking?" He worriedly ask "I was  calling you again and again but seems like your exploring in the mars yet your body is here in kitchen" he said sarcastically

"Sorry I just spaced out" I replied fixing my clothes

"Here, table 13" he said handing the tray of food

Shit! It was near from his table!

My fucking heart beats faster again. No I can do it, just serve the order then back here in the kitchen that's so easy Isabel.

As I walk towards table 13, I felt nervous. I look at table 14 and thankfully he was busy talking to his date? I dunno who's the girl and I kinda feel jealous

jealous your ass Isabel go fucking serve the food! scold my thought

"Table 13, heres your order sir" I politely said to the man who's busy on his food

"Thanks, ms. beautiful" he said in flirty tone while grinning

I forced myself to smile and about to turn away

"Wait" he said, while grabbing my wrist

"Yes SIR" I asked controlling myself, this guy is getting on my nerve.

"Look sir, I still have work to do, so excuse me if you doesn't have any need" I said pulling my wrist

"Oh, nice but-"  he was cut off then groan in pain

The moment he touch my butt, I didn't think twice to slap him using the tray I'm holding.

"What the fuck!"he madly said and about to slap me but then I caught his hand.

"Yeah, fuck off!" I said smirking "Not because you were bigger than me you're allowed to lay your fucking hand on me"

"Oh, let's see what you can do woman" he said grabbing his gun from his waist and and pointed it to my head.

"Sir/Rhoan"

I heard James shouted at the same time with a girl voice. I didn't bother to look at them. My focus is on the guy pointing a gun in my head.

Shit! What do I do. Remain calm Isabel, it's not the time to chickened out. Think Isabel think!

"Where did the "cool" little girl go huh?!" he said laughing

"Sir, calm down we can talk about the problem" I heard a woman voice probably our manager

I can hear worried voices of people inside the restaurant but the guy on table 14 caught my attention. He is now alone looking calmly at us then our eyes met. I saw him smirk and I look away. Shit why does he look so sexy smirking ughh damn Isabel someone is pointing a gun in your fucking head and your still thingking about him. My thought argued

"Put your fucking gun down before I fucking insert seven bullets in your fucking head"

I was back in reallity when I heard a voice. I look at the owner of the voice and there a man from table 14 standing behind the man whos pointing a gun at me. He also pointing gun to the mans head.

The man put his hand up.

"Now go and don't you fucking show your face here" he said. His voice is full of authority and scary.

"Consider this as your lucky day woman" he said before he turn away. I grab his hand and when he turn around I punch him hard on the nose which made him bleed.

"You-" he was about to say something when we heard a sound of gun clicking

I smirk at him before he madly goes out the restaurant.

I let out a heavy breath when that fucking bastard left the restaurant

"To my office now! Ms. Demitri" my manager furiously said when I turn around with them, I searched for him but I don't see him anymore inside the restaurant. Where could he be?! If he goes out, I would literally see him for sure.

"Hey you okay?" asked James

"Yeah I am"

"My god Rhoan, you almost got killed" he exclaimed

"I know, can you just go with me in Mrs. Valedas' office?" I annoyingly said. I don't know why I feel annoyed.

"Sorry" I apologize to James as we head to Mrs. Valedas office. I know he's just worried about me.

He just smiled at me and nod.
