Chapter 1

"If only I have the willpower to choose my own dream instead of following what my dad has instructed me to take..." Yanna was telling her ex-boyfriend turned bestfriend Fred.

Fred looked at her with pity on his eyes. He knew very well how capable Yanna is, she is one those few people whom he can have an intelligent conversation with. She's understanding, generous, smart, strong and beautiful. She may be a plus size girl, but she carries herself beautifully and elegantly. A lot of people actually envy her sense of style. She's half insecure because of her weight, and people keep telling her not to be, but she can't help it. She's always being bullied at home, by her own father.

Yanna's father is a businessman, he came to the Philippines during his late 20s and married Yanna's mother after knowing her for only a few months. Being a Chinese, he is very old-fashioned in his children's upbringing. He wants his kids to listen and follow what he says. And because of that, the very filial Yanna isn't happy, but he doesn't know that.

Fred put his hand on Yanna's shoulder trying to comfort her "Hey, how about we go eat your favorite Sansrival cake?"

"Hey! I'm trying to ask for your advice on what to do with my dilemma, and you're answering me with a slice of cake?!? No, I don't want you to treat me cake, I want you to bring me to a steak house!" Yanna looking at Fred in disbelief, but she instantly chuckled cause she know he knows her too well.

Fred stood up and picked up all of Yanna's things. He just can't say no to her, no matter how hard he try. Sometimes, he's even doubting if he's being hypnotized.

After an hour of traffic, they arrived at Alfredo's Steakhouse.

Just as Yanna was about to sit down, she got a call from her father.

"Where are you?"

Yanna could sense the annoyance of her father through the phone. She shivered at the thought of it and answered him. "I'm with my classmate doing a project."
