“Look at your face, you’re like a dead rising from the grave,” Lileth and I are here in the kitchen of Wallace’s house. Dane’s deliver Ace and now she’s discharged. Wallace brought her here because the fool had already proposed to her. I am not bitter about them but I really hope Cooper can stay with Dane. But I failed because Dylan’s friend won.
It’s supposed to be me. Cooper and I are supposed to be brothers-in-law. But what can I do if my sister loves someone else?
“I am not feeling well, Dave, I told you didn’t I?”
“And what now? Do you want to go home? Are you special? Everyone is having fun and you will leave? Don’t be feeling important.”
“Is there any problem here?” Dylan came so Lileth did not have time to speak.
“Nothing,” I answered.
“I’m not talking to you,” he said and then looked at Lileth. “Is there a problem, Lileth?”
“No, Damon, my husband and I just talked.” Dylan looks at me. The evil he looks at me as if swallowing me whole. He thought that my wife would be nice to him.
“Couples talk,” I said but he still didn’t leave.
“If you need —”
“Don’t you understand, Dylan? Couples talk ‘isn’t it? Can you leave first? You have done nothing but cling to my wife.”
“Trigger?” he asked and look at me. “Why, are you hiding something or are you afraid of something so you are irritated in my presence?”
“What?”
“It’s just those people who are afraid of me are uncomfortable in my presence or those with hidden nonsense like you.”
“I’m not hiding anything, I’m annoyed with you because you did nothing but stick to my wife.”
“I don’t stick to your wife just for nothing, you fool. There is a reason why I am with her.”
“You won’t get anything out of him.”
“Can you stop?” Lileth’s calm rebuke. “Damon, my husband and I have no problem. Can you please leave I need my husband’s time?”
“See, my wife is pushing you away. What are you waiting for? Dane’s wedding? It’s still a long time.” Dylan can’t do anything but leave and I didn’t care if he is upset? “Attention seeker,” I said while looking at him who was standing opposite us some distance away.
“Dustine, let’s go home,”
“We won’t go home until the party is over.”
“My body is aching.”
“I don’t care,”
“Please, pity me.”
“I don’t care, even if you pass out.”
But soon Dane suddenly came who had just finished talking to Dylan. Maybe the idiot said something so Dane went here.
“Something wrong, Dave, Lileth?” Dane asked and rolled the wheelchair closer to us.
“Nothing, Dane. Lileth wants to go home, she’s not feeling well.” But if I’m the one to follow, I don’t want us to leave but because I can see on her face that he’s not ok, I have to take her home. And I had to get Lileth ahead to say she was feeling bad.
“Are you ok, Lileth?” Dane asks her.
“Yeah, I just feel bad and I’m dizzy.”
“Are you pregnant?” Lileth looked at me and I glared at her. But I also became calm when I remembered Dane was here.
“No, I mean, I am not sure.” What the hell is she talking about? How could she get pregnant if I hadn’t touched her since Erika arrived? The last time I had sex with her is when I arrived from Thailand and she had a period.
“Do you have a problem?” Dane asked.
“We don’t have a problem, Dane. It’s a normal misunderstanding that is natural for a couple but other than that nothing.” I can see the hesitation on Dane’s face but she has no choice but to believe me.
“Fine,”
“We are going home and Lileth needs to rest. Congrats, Dane.” I kiss her on the cheek and then supported Lileth.
“Thanks.”
“We’ll go first, Dane,” Lileth said goodbye. We need to go home and talk. What is she saying she might be pregnant. Is she kidding me again? Who is her man now?
I DRAGGED her from the car into the house. If I could just slap inside the car I would have done it. She fell to the floor but I didn’t care. I walked around while holding the bridge of my nose.
I saw her slowly stand up so I kicked her and sat down again.
“What did you tell Dane that you might be pregnant?” I started. Ig she will answer wrongly I will really kill her. “Answer me.”
“Dustine, I’ve been delayed for two months.”
“What? What did you say?”
“I don’t have a period for two months.”
“You’re pregnant? Is that is?”
“Yes.”
“How did that happen? who is your man?”
“I don’t have a man, Dustine.”
“Liar! How can I get you pregnant? I haven’t touched you since Erika came?! The last time I had sex with you is when you had blood.”
“I don’t know, maybe because of that.”
“Are you stupid ?!” I bent down holding her in the face. “How does a menstruating woman get pregnant? You fooled me again!”
“Dustine, no!”
“Is it Dylan? When I was in Tuguegarao, something happened to you?!”
“No!”
“Liar!” I slapped him hard and buried her face on the floor. I pressed against his face and squeezed hard. My blood boil because of what I heard. She cheated on me again, it was very clear that she cheated on me again. I saw blood drip from her nose so I let her go and then stood up.
Again I walked around while holding the bridge of my nose. Again and again, she cheated on me.
“Dustine, believe me, I don’t have a man.”
“Liar.” I slapped her hard so she sank again. She stood up and when I saw her lift her head I stepped on it and pressed it to the floor. “I will kill you, I will kill your child!” I kick her in the stomach hard.
“Argh!” She was grabbed by the stomach and immediately twisted due to the pain. I understood nothing but anger. I was angry because of what she did to me.
I walked around her while holding her head. Again, again, again, she cheated on me again. It was very clear that she had a man again. I no longer know how I feel. My head hurts and I feel like I’m losing my mind because of what I’ve discovered.
“You keep on making a fool, a stupid, a dumb. You don’t want to break up with me, you don’t want an annulment but you keep making fun of me!” I kick her again and again.
“Stop!” And I don’t know where my kick hit. I just saw her pass out.
“You’re an animal!” I keep on kicking her. In the back, in the abdomen, in the head, in the hip. And everywhere. Because I spin while kicking him.
“You are an animal! You’re an animal!” At first, I saw her blocking every kicked I give. But eventually, she also stopped. “You’re going to die!” And I did not feel any response from her.
I sat up while panting kicking her. I was almost out of breath with annoyance and giggles. Her face was swollen and she had a lot of bruises anywhere even on her face and she was covered with blood. Some are brought on by my kick but others seem to —- come from her femininity.
I don’t care if she gets a miscarriage. Even though it’s Dylan’s son and my nephew, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me who else is the father of that. That child is going to die but I don’t care. They are both going to die.
I heard my phone beep so I stood up. When I looked at the message it was from Erika.
[Can I visit my sister? I miss her, don’t worry I will be careful.]
I send her a reply that Lileth doesn’t want to see her for now. After I sent the message I turned to Lileth who was still not moving. I come closer to her and kick her slightly.
“Get up.” But her head just shook. I went down and held her by the head but she just fainted when I lifted her up. “Get up!” When I let go of her head I heard it fall hard to the floor. She lost consciousness as her blood continued to flow.
She can’t die here now. Not everyone can know what I did. I still have many dreams for Erika and me and I will not be able to fulfill them if I become a criminal because of her.
I had no choice but to bring her to the hospital.
