Loath
Days passed like a blur.
It's been weeks since something happened between me and Claus and all I did was to reminisce every bit of it like it just happened yesterday. I can't seem to forget it.
I badly want to talk to Claus. But...what if he doesn't remember, right? Because he was too drunk that night and I doubt if he can remember every piece of what happened to us.
Shit!
I'm going crazy! I don't know what to do anymore, and I feel like I can't face my twin just the same knowing that I had sex with her fiancee!
"Tomorrow will be a busy day, Trin. We have a tight schedule so it's better if you rest first."
I sighed. "It's okay Miya. I'm used to it."
"No. You're going to go home to your condo early and rest. I don't want you to be in the middle of the shoot and space out like a mad girl again. " I sighed again. I didn't complain anymore because I feel like I didn't have enough energy to fight with this girl. She's as hardheaded as me.
The service van brought me to my condo. I didn't brought my car because Miya didn't want to let me drive. She said that I should avoid driving for now, especially that I've been spacing out a lot these past few days.
I know that she feels it already. She could smell something was wrong but she never forced me to talk about it. And that's one of the reasons why I like her. She just waits whenever I feel comfortable of spitting up the things that are bothering me.
When I arrived, I immediately got off the van after thanking the driver. I was glad that it wasn't a long drive at all.
I return a small smile to those who greeted me as I enter. I can't seem to smile genuinely especially when I'm thinking a lot.
I entered my condo's pass code before going inside.
The familiar feeling of 'home' hit me. Eversince I decided to live on my own, this has been the witness of my silent battles. I am alone, but this is what I call home. Because I never felt welcome in our house back then. I feel like I was a prisoner...with no chance to escape, and I can't help but to be thankful that I already did it. I escaped. With the help of myself.
My eyes slowly drifted to the living room.
I let out a gasp of surprise when I saw someone sitting on my single sofa. My heart thumped loudly inside as I made my way to him. He was just staring at me coldly. Like, I was nothing but a stranger in his eyes.
I felt bitter.
Stranger. Yes. That's what we are now.
"C-Claus, it's a surprise to see you here." How did you know my pass code? I want to add but I stopped myself. Of course he has ways. He always has ways.
"N-did you wait for too long? U-uhm, w-what do you want? Coffee or—"
"Nothing." He spat out coldly, cutting my sentence off. I swallowed and smiled slightly at him. "Tell me, did something happen between us in this filthy place?" I blinked a few times and backed away slightly. He spat out those words like he was disgusted to be even here...or more like, disgusted of me.
I got even weaker.
"Answer me, b-tch!" I closed my eyes tightly when I heard his loud angry shout. He stood up from his seat as if he was ready to attack me if I answer him wrongly.
B-tch...
I laughed inwardly inside my head. I should get used to it. I should get used to that word because he's not the first person to call me that at all. But why is that? The pain is tripled when he's the one saying it.
"Answer me before I do anything to you!" I gasped for an air. He will not think twice now to hurt me!
"Y-yes...S-something happened between us." I tried to act brave and spoke to him while staring into his ash gray eyes but I couldn't handle it. All I can see is his eyes are pure disgust and anger towards me.
"F-ck!" He violently kicked the coffee table in front. His eyes were coated with so much loath as he looked at me. "How did I f-cking end up here?! Did you f-cking drugged me, huh?!" He shouted angrily and rushed to come in front of me. I screamed painfully when he held my collar.
F-fuck!
He is really going to hurt me! And that fucking hurts me even more! The fact that he's willing to hurt me physically feels like sh-t.
"F-ck! You took advantage of my drunken state, you b-tch! You are really a f-cking bitch and I loathe you more for doing this shit to me!" He screamed at my face. I couldn't do anything but to look down while crying. I didn't even realize I was already crying until he lifted me up a bit, holding my collar like his dear life depends on it.
I tried to pry his hands away but he was too strong. So, I just let him. I let him do the things that he wanted to do. Even though I know that I don't deserve it at all.
"You know I am in a relationship with your twin but f-ck! You still f-cking—!" He let go of me violently. With no strength enough for me to stand up, I collapsed on the floor.
I saw him kick my sofa angrily.
"B-tch! You f-cking b-tch! If Beatriz finds out about this and our relationship will go down because of you, you are f-cking dead Beautrin. Just wrap yourself up with your own coffin now because I will not freaking forgive you if Beatriz finds out!"
I cried even more. I cried not because of how he can physically hurt me for my twin, but because of the fact that it's really gone...
He really has no love left for me... Not even a little bit. I was wishing for a little...but I fell hard because he doesn't feel anything to me now. I am no one but a twin sister of his lover.
"I f-cking loath you! Don't ever show your face to me ever again! Just please, Beautrin. Don't disturb Beatriz and me because no matter what happen...I will never come back to you."
Special Chapter (The Last Chapter) Claus' Point of View "Seriously, Monteserio? You and Beautrin already have three children but...she still won't accept your proposal?" My jaw tensed at Ythan's teasing voice to me. I glared at him. Euler and Chaos just laughed. "How old is Indie again? She's eight years old. She's almost nine. And Saintesszia Coraline is already 1 year old. And now, she's pregnant with your third child, but you're still not married to her. Dang! You're so weak!" I winced at Ythan. This man's tongue is really carved differently. I gulped down a bottle of beer and slammed it down on the table. It's painful to hear Ythan say that my queen still don't want tl marry even though we already have about four babies. And do you even know what's more ironic? I don't even know what we really are. She let me touch her, kiss her, and make love with her but she couldn't even answer me even as a boyfriend first. In short, we don't have a fvcking label. I courted her, and asked
Epilogue (His Side) Saint Claus Ezekiel Monteserio POVI punched the mirror in my bathroom while looking at my own reflection with nothing but pure grief and anger. I fucking hate myself for hurting my baby. I didn't mean it! I was just forced. I have to do it to be able to keep her safe. Because I don't know what I will do when something bad happens to her! I have learned in the first place and I deeply regret not listening to their threat. They... They threatened me to break up with my love or they'll kill the baby inside her. I know. I know my queen is pregnant with our first child. I know that. I know all her moves. Because I'm not just in love with her. I am fvcking obsessed too. Someone threatened me that they'll hurt the baby inside her. But I ignored it because of my job and my position in the industry, I can't really avoid such things. That night, when she disappeared and got kidnapped by someone I didn't fvcking know, that's when I almost lost my mind. I was about to fvck
Chapter 45Earn "Shush, baby, it's fine Missus. You're safe. I'm here. I'm here." Claus' soft voice was the last thing I heard before everything finally went dark. I don't know how many hours I slept, but when I woke up, my whole body was so painful that it was as if I had been beaten over and over again. I groaned. I slowly opened my eyes and the white ceiling immediately appeared to me. Just by the smell of the surrounding, I knew I was in the hospital. "W-water..." I whispered huskily. I tried to move my fingers but it was too numb. I feel heavy and my body still feels heavy. "C-Claus..." I whispered again. When someone moved next to me, I immediately looked at the person who was crouching on my bed. Only then did I realize that Claus was there. He was sitting on a chair and was resting his head on the side of the bed where I was lying. He's also holding my hand tightly. Maybe that's why I can hardly move it. "C-Claus... Claus... Monteserio...!" I raised my voice slightly caus
Chapter 44KidnappedWe celebrated Indira's birthday in the island, indeed. We spent our days there, happily. Happy. Yes. I can say that I'm finally happy now. Well, I'm happy with those years with Indira. But seeing her 'this' happy being with his father is what makes me happy too. It makes me...completely happy. "I'll go first, baby, hmm? I really have to do something." I ignored him and kept on frowning. I don't know why though. He'll just come back to the city to fix something, but here I am, acting too much. "Don't come back." I said and turned my back at him. I heard his violent sigh. I didn't mean it...like this. I don't know why my mood is changing so much now and it's frustrating me! Sometimes I'm sweet to him, but most of the time I acts out and I'll be completely rude. "No, baby. I'll pick you up here. You'll ride a chopper, baby, to go faster. I'll go first, but you'll follow anyway." Nope. I still don't want it. Why don't we go together? Would that make any difference?
Chapter 43Baby Daddy I was sobbing real hard while staring at the setting sun. I watched as the light slowly disappeared. Just like what happened to me years ago when he turned his back at me. That's when my world went completely dark. But then, my sweet Indira came. She became the light to my world. My sunshine. She is the angel that made me rise again. "I'm so sorry, baby..." I stiffened when I felt him carefully settled on my back. He hugged me so tight and buried his face on the crook of my neck. I was even more shocked when I felt the nape of my neck where his face was buried slightly wet. He was sniffling and sobbing. He's crying! He's crying! "I made a mistake. I choose to hurt you just to save you, baby." He sobbed while I frowned. My forehead creased. I wiped my tears and tried to face him but he held me more. "I-I can't take us to be like this anymore...I'm sorry. It was my fault. I-It was my fault..." "What the hell are you talking about, Claus? I-I don't understand."
Chapter 42Sunset When we arrived in the island, we were immediately greeted by the couple, Tammy and Euler. The man looked at me for a while before looking away and grinning. I squinted my eyes at him, raising my eyebrows in the process. "Tammy, tell your husband not to tell Monteserio that I'm here. I don't want to see that bastard lurking around here again later."Tammy slightly turned to her husband and elbowed his stomach. Euler coughed but didn't complain. "You heard that, Euler. Don't do anything because I'm going to divorce you." The man just sighed and nodded. I smirked. Whipped, huh? "Of course, baby. Don't want to put our marriage at risk." I just rolled my eyes when he dipped his head and kissed my friend in front of me. "We're going straight to the cabin, Tam. We're going to rest..." I kissed her cheek. I was about to leave when she held my wrist. I looked at her with a frown. I saw her pouted. She came even closer to me before whispering. "Why are Raf and Miya in th
