“I should be the one asking you that.” Celia can’t believe you took two beanies from her.
“Are you really in a position to question someone’s actions, *Ms. 3 Beanies*?” You cheekily point out she had *3* hats prepared.
“Let’s move on before you watch an ass-kicking you’re not going to like.” Celia furrows her eyebrows.
“So why embark on a quest for revenge?” You get serious.
“What makes you think it’s revenge? Nah, boy, it’s something else. He’s a ghost that needs to be exorcised. Always lurking over my shoulder.” Celia asks a very damning question. “In plain terms, he’s my guardian. I can’t do, say, or go anywhere without his direct approval. Always has an eye on me. His men are always around. He’s a controlling freak. And now? I can exploit his new weakness. With him gone, I can write my own story. Live my own life.”
“Can you tell me why is he—”
“My guardian?” Celia crosses her arms on the table, places her head on top — and looks through the window sideways. “He’s *my father*…”
“Can’t see the resemblance.” You look at the picture once again.
“Yeah… I guess we don’t look alike.” Celia wants to chuckle, but only a half smile appears. “He gained custody after my mother died under *peculiar circumstances*… And I’ve been trapped ever since.”
That’s a pretty straightforward story…
