[] Elyssa Gene's POV

Isang malutong na sampal galing sa aking Ina ang sumalubong pagkarating ko ng bahay. Hindi lang isang beses kundi apat na beses niya akong pinagsasampal kaliwa't kanan ng aking mukha, venting her anger on me and I don't know why.

Mabuti na lang at agad naman na sumaklolo si Kuya para pinigilan ang pang limang sampal sa akin ng aking Ina.

"Mom, that's enough." awat ni Kuya kay Mommy, but she's still looking at me as if I committed a big crime again.

"M-mom.." naguguluhan na ani ko habang hawak ang aking kaliwang mukha.

"Don't...Don't call me Mom. Wala akong anak na isang kagaya mo, you son of satan!" puno ng galit na sigaw niya sa akin habang kanya akong dinuduro.

I looked at my brother asking for clarification because I don't know what I have done this time. But instead of helping me like he used to be, all I saw in his eyes was disappointment.

"Kuya..." I called him out.

"Elyssa Gene Michael! See me in my office!" sigaw ng aking Ama na galit na galit ring nakatingin sa akin. I gulped because I'm totally scared this time. It seems like I've done something that will change my whole life. "Now!" sigaw niyang muli ng makitang hindi ako kumibo sa kinatatayuan ko.

Nanginginig akong sumunod sa aking Ama patungo sa opisina niya. "Get inside you brat!" sikmat niya. I heard him shut the door harshly as he came to me and for the fifth time, I received a slap from him.

"You insolent child of satan! How many times you have stained this family at ngayon panibagong kalokohan naman ang ginawa mo!"

"Dad, I didn't do anything. I was reflecting on myself and..."

"Reflecting, you say?" he grabbed his expensive tablet at saka nilapag ito sa lamesa. "Is that how you reflect on yourself by sucking a goddam..fuck!" he added, ni hindi niya mabigkas maayos ang huling salita niya.

I was caught off guard. I grabbed the tablet at halos mabitawan ko pa ito dahil sa aking nakita. Napatakip ako ng bibig sa sobrang gulat. It's a photo of me kneeling down and svcking someone's private part. I tried to say something but no words came out.

"You really have no shame! Sinasagad mo talaga ang pasensya ko!" nanggagalaiti na sigaw ng aking Ama sa akin. He's veins are even visible on his neck at namumula pa ang mukha niya sa sobrang galit.

Umiling ako. Paulit ulit akong umiling sa kanya trying to say that I have never done something like this. Yes, I like to go to parties, I'm a brat. I always disobey them but I will never ever do these things.

"D-dad...I never did this. I-I'm not like that. It's..." finally a word came out of my mouth but I couldn't compose my words well since I was too shocked and scared at the same time.

"I had enough, Gene. We had enough!" sigaw niya with so much disappointment in his voice.

Again I shook my head telling him that what he saw was just a lie. "D-dad, I know I always disappoint you. I never did something good in my whole life. But b-believe me. Hindi ko magagawa iyan. I will never ever d-do something n-nasty like that," paliwanag ko sa aking Ama while tears are streaming down my cheeks. Pero mukhang kahit anong gawin kong paliwanag ay hindi sapat para sa kanya, sa kanila.

They never listen to me dahil ang tingin lang nila sa akin ay ang anak nila na walang ibang gawin kundi ang ipahiya sila sa buong madla.

I'm the second son of the Royale Family. Yes, people look up to us because of our wealth and the name Royale, screams power, strength, domination and money. My parents are one of the top business entrepreneurs around the globe. And taking care of their name and image are important for their investors, and me, I'm the one who always brought them into shame.

My name is Elyssa Gene Michael Rodriguez Royale. I'm the excessive, self-centered, irresponsible and immature son they ever had. I'm way far from my elder brother, Elijah Gavin Mikhael, who's good at everything.

My parents loathed me a lot because I always make them clean up my mess. I'm a brat who doesn't know his limitations, na walang ibang alam kundi ang magdala ng samu't saring sakit sa ulo para sa kanila.

"I don't care about your excuses and lies again. That photo is now circulating around the internet and we will clean your mess, again. When will you ever grow up!" Dad shouted at me, and I can see in his eyes how frustrated he is about this.

I wanted to shout him back and tell him, when will you guys ever listen to me? But no, I just remained silent and cried over the things I've never done. Ginawa ko lang naman ang lahat ng ito para mapansin nila. I know I sound so childish but this is the only way to make them notice me. Na may anak din sila na kagaya ko, na naghihintay na matanggap nila ang buong pagkatao ko.

Since I was a child they never showed interest in me. Dahil alam nila na bata pa lang wala akong kakayahan na maging kagaya ng kapatid ko. My parents always praised him for his achievement in school, sports, and everything that he's good at. Elijah is always in the spotlight. Habang ako ay nakatago lang sa dilim watching them showered Elijah with the attention, care and love that I longed the most for my entire life.

I'm the complete opposite of my brother.

I envy him but I never hated him.

Napapansin lang nila ako when I did something that could harm their name. Hanggang sa nakasanayan at nakaugalian ko nalang na gawin, just to gain a little bit of attention from them.

"This time, I will make sure na magtitino ka na," banta ni Daddy sa akin that sent shivers through my spine. Oh God! He's just joking right? "Now, get out!" he added.

I left his office in tears. Paglabas ko ay naabutan ko pa si Mommy na pinapaypayan ng mga katulong dahil sa sobrang stressed, gawa ko. I looked at her but she never looked at me. She always avoids my gaze everytime I look her in the eyes.

I wiped my tears and just decided to go up to my room. I clenched my fist as I remembered that damn photo. I couldn't remember a single thing. All I know is that I'm so drunk that night and that was a month ago. I couldn't even remember I sucked a D. The hell. Argh, did I really put that thing in my mouth? And who the hell took that photo and spread it over the internet? Malaman ko lang talaga ang may gawa nito sa akin makakatikim talaga siya.

Nakakainis!

Hindi pa nga ako nakabawi dahil sa ginawa kong gulo noong birthday ko dumagdag pa ito. I touched my face and flinched dahil sa hapdi na aking nararamdaman. I can't imagine, Dad really slapped me.

This is the first time he hurt me physically.
