How dare he hurt my feelings again?
So, both of them went to the states to hide their secret affair from me and git married there?
I am going crazy.
I can’t take it anymore. I need to get fresh air to ease the pain in my heart. I think it’s hard to breathe. I felt there’s a bomb inside my heart that I can’t tell when it’s going to explode.
I quickly fix my things and get dress. I left him with a letter. I need time and space. I need his accurate confession of how it started and why he did it.
I decided to go home alone. I was on my way when I received a phone call. Someone is calling me. It’s an unregistered number in my contact.
“Hello,” I said to the caller.
I waited for the voice to answer me but all I could hear was the sounds of ocean waves like the caller is sailing.
“Hello! If you won’t talk, don’t fucking call me!” I shouted and about to cut off the call when the caller finally talks.
“Lucy, my daughter, I’m back!” It’s my dad.
“Dad? I thought you’re dead! Oh my, you’re alive! Where are you? I want to see you!” I don’t know if I felt happy or nervous but to realize that my father is alive, I felt a little hope again.
Now, he can tell me if who are the people who want us dead at that time. Only I know the killer because he defends himself to save me. He and the killer battled together when I escape. It’s a memory I wanted to erase in my head. Dad got shot multiple times and was thrown in the water. I ran from the place they kept us for five days and tell the police after I went back to the city. When they arrived, the kidnapper was gone too and they saw my father’s torn t-shirt on the side of the river. They thought he got drown and died.
“Yes, but I can’t see you now. I’ll call you again l, okay, bye!’ My father said and I’ll just wait for him to show up in front of me.
I almost forgot about Kent fooling me all along. I offered him all of me, my heart, my soul, and my virginity but je stabbed me like five times in tow straight to my heart. I think I’ve been foolish for ten years. I wasted my life and youth for him. I was too blinded by my love for him. He’s not worth the wait. If I knew that he’s the man I bed that night who took me in my house if I knew that he was Eloisa’s husband, a friend of mine that betrayed me maybe I won’t be in the position of being his mistress.
What about our baby?
Should I keep my pregnancy from him?
I can’t think of a better answer this time since my mind was crowded with hopeless thoughts. But to know that my dad was alive, put me a little hope to uncover what happened ten years ago.
I screamed in surprise when the head of my car bumps into someone’s car. Kent gave this to me just a few days ago as his advance gift. I saw a guy coming out from his car door with a face of annoyance. He hurriedly walked in my direction and slammed his fist on my car window.
” Hey, are you blind? Will you open this!” He yelled and about to punch his fist again when I rolled it down.
“I’m so sorry” I stop when he looks familiar.
“Mr. Gregory Klint?” I asked him and he was surprised and shame of what he did earlier. He’s rude.
He quickly takes off his hands from the car window and puts his best smile on me.
“Hi, you’re Kent’s secretary, right?—and his mistress?” He cleared his throat.
It’s okay. I’m getting used to it besides it’s the end for both of us. I quit and leave him.
“Yes. I’m so sorry again. Can I go now?” I simply said and shifted my eyes on the steering wheel. I had no time to argued with him. I had many problems and I won’t add him to my list.
I’m about to start my car when he called for me.
“Wait, my thought you’re with him. Why are you driving alone? It’s your birthday right?” He asked me but I ignored him.
I took a sigh.
“Look, sir, I’m going home and I don’t like people meddling in my personal life. Call him if you had business with him. Bye.” I said and quickly turned on the engine of my car and left.
Why do people love intervening in strangers’ life?
