Chapter Fifty Eight
"You take care here, Yuna. Just update me later when I got home, 'kay?" I fixed my handbag and went out the shop.
Yuna accompanied me 'till here. She nod her head continuously."Got it, ma'am. Take care!"
"Alright!"
Since the boutique's just a few meter away from grandma's house, I can walk it through. She's the one who suggested it though, to make it easy for me to go home because I still don't have a car. But I'm planning to buy one, once my income is complete. But for now, I'm giving the half of it to her, for her medicines and for our daily source of food.
On my way home, I noticed that the door is locked and it seems dark inside. I don't need to worry though, I have a spare key. But when I entered, it's confirmed. There's no trace of grandma inside. My heart pounded fastly. Shit! I need to calm down! Calm the fuck down, Vanez!
That'
Chapter Fifty NineI'm not moving even so, the maids opens the gate for us. I swear, I don't know what to say right now! This whole thing is shocking the shit out of me.Should I retreat? Should I go back to the car instead and let Yuna there?But on the other hand, why? Why, Vanez? Why you seem so bothered? Why does it affects you, still? Like the old times, huh? Many has changed now. What if it was all coincidental? That they forgotten about your existence since the day you're gone? We never knew.So, I composed myself and breathed deeply, fixed my suit and held my purse tightly. I shouldn't get bothered. Let's bring back the unbothered me."You're from...?" One maid asked after she opened the gate.My eyes found those curious and longing ones. I felt a bit uneasy as Anya and mine met. She's beside her co-maid, staring at me like I'm some unknown specie
Chapter SixtyI looked at him, unbelievably. Even how much I contain my tears not to show up, they still did. I'm feeling a sting in my eyes after hearing those words from the first man who broke my heart.I laughed sarcastically."What? Is that some kind of joke, Dad? Please, don't make me laugh." I said in a monotone."Goodness, Daddy! She's still the same brat we knew!" Akira testified."Akira, shut up!" Innov growled at her.I hate to admit that my father's sorrowful eyes were affecting me. Big time."But that's the truth, Vanez. There's no day we forgot about you... there's no chance I accepted that you'll never come back to us anymore... I'm always hoping you'd come back, because I know you're just being blinded by your hatred towards us. I'm hoping for a chance, I'm aware of how asshole father I am to you. I regret everything I did, every decision I
Chapter Sixty OneThe justice have served. Months after I decided to leave everything behind, Anson Cabrera, Yukenzo's father, was sent to jail. That's when a big lump inside my chest slowly faded because I know, mom will be at her peace already. She deserved justice after all."It's okay. It was a tremendous relief." I made a small smile.Dad made me stay. I gestured Yuna and Henry to sit again so am I. After that intense moment, we are now calm. Though Akira bid her goodbye to us, she said she have a work to do in her room and they let her. I'm not expecting for her warm welcome and treatment though. I'm not assuming things will change between us.He held my hands, looking at me like it's unbelievable I'm here in front of them, calm and approachable."You don't know how happy I am. Thank you for being a good daughter..."That made me laugh."Oh please, da
Chapter Sixty Two"Oh. I gotta leave now..." Innov whistled and tapped my shoulder.I blinked, realizing what he's doing."H-hey!" I tried to stop him and make him stay here but the jerk just waved his hand on me along with his smirking face.Grr! Damn, Innov! I thought we're allies here? Annoying!I slowly faced Yukenzo. His hands were inside his pocket, he didn't even blink after meeting my gaze. Now, how will I deal with this? I need to act calm and still. Things have changed already. It's all different now."What are you doing here?" Thank God, my voice agreed with my terms."I was about to meet Mr. Martin Arnaez..." Oh. I looked away and cleared my throat.Shit! I thought... I just thought...That's so assuming of me. Stupid! Stupid! Of course, you're not the reason of his appearance here! Idiot self,
Chapter Sixty Three"Is that all?""Yup." I nodded at grandma after she asked few questions about what happened earlier.She loosened her apron and faced me."Hmm, why did you not forgive him?""Huh? I already forgave my father, grandma." I reasoned out, a bit confused.She chuckled and shook her head."Silly. I'm not pertaining to Martin, I mean, your ex-boyfriend. That... what's his name again? Lorenzo?"I put down the bowl I'm holding."Yukenzo." I corrected her."Oh, yeah! I'm happy you can now forgive the people around you. You have learned not to get stuck in the past. But why can't you do the same to this particular boy..." she trailed off.I sighed heavily. I know where this will go. I get her point, too. It's just that... I can take all the risk so fast, like before. I can't be impulsive again. I ne
Chapter Sixty FourIt's true that even how much we want to forget those people who did something bad to us, we ended up forgiving them and forgetting the pain they have caused to us instead.Two days after, we got back together. I forgave them and he forgave me. He waited and I took the risk again. I realized that after all we've been through, he's still the only guy who can make my heart beats fast, the only guy who dislikes my bad habits but wiling to embrace those. How ironic right? Years ago, I hated him for being a meddler and he dislikes me for being a bad girl but now..."I'm sorry for the trouble, Martin. Believe me, I didn't know. I didn't know it's your wife he accidentally killed. If I just knew it then, I would give her the justice, immediately and willingly." Yukenzo's mother, Sierra, said to Dad one time he set dinner for all of us.We're sitting in the long table, beside me
Chapter Sixty FiveHappiness comes in the right time. We just have to wait for it. We need to be patient to feel the content. Because believe me, if you wait patiently, it would be worth it in the end."Happy birthday, my princess..." Dad kissed me on my forehead, he's the first one who greeted me the moment sun rose.I smiled."Thanks, Dad." I hugged him."Where's my gift?" I wiggled my brows and joked.He laughed shortly and handed me a..."A key?!" I shouted in so much shock."Yup. I know you want a car. You can have it now. I won't control you anymore." He said.I'm teary-eyed as I'm staring at the key he gave me. Then, I jumped to hug him, this time, tighter. I'm so happy!"Thank you so much, Dad! I love you!""Anything for you, my princess."I had a literally good morning. I received co
Chapter Sixty SixIn a slow manner, I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry as I saw a glistening light above me. It took seconds before I finally adjusted it and the unfamiliar surroundings is what I have seen.My brows furrowed and was about to move but then, I realized, I'm being tied up to the chair I'm sitting on."W-what the actual fuck?!"I roamed my eyes around, there's only one light bulb and it's directly on me. Everything is all dark, messy and unpleasant. I can smell disgusting scent that making me want to vomit. I continued moving and shouting."Can someone hear me? Is there anyone here?!" Then, I remembered the last person I saw before I lost my conciousness. I gritted my teeth."Akira! Bitch, show yourself! I know you did this! Don't hide your ass and show me what you got, freaking biatch!"I knew it! She didn't change after all. She's still t
