Gray came over to Robin’s side with an smirk on his face.“Even though, the proof is right in front of us, you still dare to lie? I mean how?”.“We can clearly see the affair between you and that girl.”“Why still deny it?”.“Cause that’s not the truth!” Robin retorted back.“These pictures are real, but the situation behind has a reason. It’s not like we are having an affair, I only saved her.”“That’s the truth which only you are saying. Give us a proof! What might you call it if it’s not cheating?”.“Everyone! What would you call it?”.“There is an conspiracy set against us, Lucy!” Robin turned to his wife. But grandpa stood right next to him.“Believe me! I’m not having an affair with Christina! Someone took those pictures at the right moment to frame me.”“I only saved her from falling. But there’s no one who can give any proof for me, so you might not be able to believe it.”“Even so!”.“You can have faith in me!”.“I will never do something like that with you!”.“Blind faith ca
“Won’t you Christina?” Noir comments.Christina lifted her face, meeting the eyes of others.“I….”.“Please tell us the truth.”Christina cleared her throat.“Alright then. If you want the truth, I’m going to give you the truth.”“The truth is actually very simple.” She started walking towards Robin, then stood right next to him.She leaned onto his shoulders and replied, “We had been hiding our relationship from the public eye for a long time. But the time has come when we finally reveal in front of others.”“We both love each other, but is unable to become one because he’s married.”“That’s why our relationship is kept hidden from the eyes of others.”“Simple as that.”Robin looked at her in surprise. He pushed her away from him.“What the heck are you spouting?”.“This is not what you were supposed to say! Why are you speaking up lies?”.“This is not a lie, but the truth,” added Christina with an smile.“Why are you telling out lies?” Noir yelled. “What lie?” Christina grunted. “
“Please tell us why you had to cheat on your wife for some other women?”.“What’s the reason?”.“Why?”.“We want to kn-“.“Stop!” Lucy yelled loud enough for everyone present in there to hear.They all look at her in confusion unable to understand what was going on.“Why’s she acting like this?” Julia murmured.“Stop what you are all doing!”.Robin looks at her with an surprised and saddened expression.Lucy looked up at Robin, then gave her a cold stare before turning away from him.“I-“ he was about to call out to her, but she walked away without looking back behind her.“Where is she going now?” Gray comments, placing his hands in his pockets.“Maybe she’s tired of her husband’s behavior which is why she couldn’t stand staying here any longer,” Olivia remarks in a tone of mockery.Robin watched her go with an saddened face.“Lucy, why did you leave? Are you angry at me?”.“It has to be the reason, but you could’ve listened to me at least before leaving.”“Why didn’t you ask me anyt
Robin left home. He didn’t look back behind him. Lucy’s Mom saw him leaving the house. She and her dad had gone to visit some other cousins because they weren’t invited to the party.“Where’s he going?”.“Dear, help me take off my shoes.”“Coming.”He was walking through the road aimlessly without any sense of direction.Suddenly, the sky became cloudy and it started raining slowly little by little.He ignored the rain and continued to walk. His clothes were drenched in rain. Raindrops falling down from his head onto his eyes making his vision blurry.He didn’t look at the road when he was about to cross it.He just wanted to get away from everything. Get away from here to feel better and relieved.All of a sudden, he came in front of a car.He didn’t look up and only bowed his head, looking sideways he tried to cross the road.“Wait!” a voice called from behind, stopping him.He turns around to see a figure coming out of the car.Noir came out with an umbrella in her hand. She came u
Noir came from the sidelines.“He’ll be staying for the night.”“He has nowhere to go at the moment.”“Nowhere to go?”.“What?”.Chris rolled his eyes, then turned to Robin.“What is she saying now?”.“you heard her right.”“I came here to stay for the night-“.“And a couple of days,” noir added, gripping his shoulders.“Couple of days?”.“What happened to you after you ran after Ms. Lucy?”.“Is everything alright between the two of you?”.Robin’s throat goes dry hearing his question.“I….”.“Please don’t question him any further. He’s already feeling tired to answer so many questions.”“Why? What’s wrong?”.“He’s tired and also wet. Please give him a change of clothes.”“Oh, yes.”“What about you?” Robin asked her with a puzzled face.“Me?”.“I’ll be leaving for now.” “My cab is waiting outside the gate.”“Oh, but where is it?”.Robin asked, looking out at the door.The car had already left by then.Noir was surprised. “Did it leave already?”.“Wait, let me check.”She goes back to
Robin and Noir takes a seat on the sofa after turning on the flashlight.“I’m going to find the candles then,” Chris said to Robin.He nodded.“I’ll stay with her.”Chris called some more butlers and they all went to search for it.Chris and others returned a while after that. They lighted up the candles and the living room became a lot more visible now.“Do you feel better?” Robin asked Noir, who was holding onto him and her whole body was shaking up in fear.Noir nodded.“Can you let go of me now?” he asked, patting the back of her head.She removed her hands from his clothes slowly.She looks around lowering her eyes at the bundles of candles lined up one after another.“I’m sorry for bothering you,” she murmured.Robin glanced at her.“No, there’s no need to feel bad about it at all. I know myself how much you are scared of the dark and lightning.”“Where’s Chris?”.“I’m here.” Chris added, coming from behind.“I had gone to see the power point, and I think that the power outage h
Robin goes to his bed and lies down, covering his eyes with his hands.“I don’t feel well.”“The thought of Lucy not staying by my side suddenly, worries me, I don’t know why.”“What are you doing, Lucy?”.“Why did you told me to leave from your side?”. “I…..”.He closed his eyes, trying to adjust his eyes to the darkness in the room, though the room wasn’t that much dark as there was one candle lit in the room.A few minutes passed, and then there was a sudden knock on the door.“Are you asleep?” an woman’s voice called from outside the door.He gets up on his feet, and walked over to the side of the door.“Who came at this hour?”.“Noir, is it you?”.“Yes, me.”“Open the door, I have something to talk about with you.”“Uh, okay.”He opens the door slowly. Noir stood there with an half-smile on her face.“Sorry for bothering you.”“No, it’s alright. Come in.”“Thank you.”He closed the door when she walked in.“Have a seat.”He said showing her the chair.She takes a seat gently, an
After her mom left, Lucy opens her eyes and gets up on the bed.She stared down at her hands and clenched her fists out of anger.“Why did I had to act out like that for nothing? Mom must have been feeling bad about it, right?”.“I am taking out his anger on others for nothing.”When his face flashed into her mind she lies down on the bed, and snuggled her face between the pillows.“Everything is……I can’t even imagine what tomorrow is going to be like.”The morning came.Robin woke up only to see that he was sitting on the ground by himself along with Noir right beside him who was asleep at the moment.“Why’s she sleeping here with me?”.“Hey-“ he was about to call her but then stopped himself.He smiled and gets up from the ground.“She might be feeling cold. I should tell her to sleep on the bed. What’s the time?”.He glanced at his phone to see it’s only 7 in the morning.“Oh shoot!”.“7 o’clock. I need to wake up Lucy so she can get ready for office. But before that I need to do l
