Chapter 36
VAREEN
"Jayce, let me go!" I pushed him away with all my strength and immediately moved away from him. I could taste alcohol on his lips. I didn't know if that was just the beer or if he was intoxicating me with his kisses again.
"Vareen, I'm sorry. Please talk to us. Let's fix this." He tried to hold me, but I avoided him and stepped back.
"Can you please just leave? Even if that's the only thing you, or all of you, can do. Things would get better if you don't show up anymore." I told him. Instead, he just walked towards me while I continued to back away.
"I'm not leaving." It was too late to turn around when I felt the cold wall on my back. He pinned me to the wall and trapped me in his arms. "I fucking missed you."
It's already been two weeks, the days flew by so fast.
"You're drunk. Get away." I tried to push him, but he was too strong. I stared at his heavy-lidded eyes for a moment.<
Special ChapterAfter watching the video his mother recorded, Jayce immediately went out and headed straight to the parking lot.Oliver silently followed him. They were right. They already knew it for a long time, but they didn't want to ask her.They knew that there was a connection between them the first time they saw them. They're just being cowards, again.They didn't want to get their hopes up, even though they knew there was a chance. These two hot billionaires are being terrified? Only one woman could make them like this.When they arrived at the chapel, the family had already left. Oliver left his car at the chapel and rode with Jayce."Jayden? Where are you?" Jayce asked as he called his brother."We're off to our rest house in Taytay, Rizal. Mom's siblings stayed at the chapel for a while. What's up? Dad has been worried." Jayden asked from the other line."We need to talk." Jayce made a U-turn
Epilogue 2"Yes, we're going to visit your Aunt Helia," Vareen said. A lot has already happened to her cousin. She still can't believe that her cousin, who was so distant from men, is also getting married. If I'm not mistaken, she's been with her husband for 9 years. That one's love life was so messy. Imagine falling in love with someone you're not supposed to be in love with."Oh yeah, I heard she just gave birth to her fourth child," Oliver commented.After a while, Jayce arrived at the mansion, carrying a box of donuts from Starbucks. "Valerian, get the coffees from the car. I left them.""Right away, boss." Valerian went to his dad's car and got seven cups of frappe from the passenger seat.Valerian has been calling his father his "boss" because he's having his work immersion as a Grade 12 student at his dad's company. He has been told to take the same course his father did before, but he's choosing Entrepreneurship. Valeriu
Epilogue 1"Hey, Dad!" Valerius sat beside his father, Oliver. His class ended early, so he decided to join his Dad for dinner at his Mom's restaurant."You're late." Valerius placed his bag on the chair next to him and sat down, scratching his head. How could he not be late? He was swarmed by his fangirls."Sorry, Dad. It's almost hard to get past them." He pointed to the girls waiting outside the restaurant. They couldn't get in because you needed a pass to enter. Only the wealthy could get in; it's a hell of a luxurious restaurant.Oliver called the attention of the guard and ordered him to make the girls leave. The guard nodded and followed the order. The other guards had a hard time making them leave, but after a while, they left on their own."Why did you get yourself involved in that group of yours if you didn't want to be swarmed?" Oliver asked."I just did a favor for my twin. He's the one who joined me in that
Chapter 68OLIVERI got out of my car and greeted him with a hug. I couldn't see his reaction because he was wearing sunglasses."I-I'm sorry for not showing up." He said shortly."It's okay, I understand. You should at least show yourself there. Everyone is worried about you.""It seems like you're the only one worried, as if they care about how I feel." I just shook my head. His friends and family are really worried about him. Maybe he's just used to them not being by his side whenever he's not doing well, whenever he has a problem, whenever something is wrong, and I'm the only one who has stayed by his side, no matter how much of an asshole he is. "We should probably get going,"He got in his car, and I got in mine. I followed his car, and we stopped in front of a ba
Chapter 67OLIVER"Condolences." I just stood there silently, watching the people flock to the memorial chapel where Jayce's deceased mother was laid to rest.It was her who died three days ago. It has been three days since the consecutive incidents happened: the kidnapping, the killing, the bombing, and lastly, her death.No one expected that she would die that afternoon. Everything just happened unexpectedly.One of my Dad's colleague's sons, one of our close friends, stood beside me. "It's too early for Tita Minerva to go." I heard him say that to me. I sipped on the frappe I was holding and sighed."It really is." She took three bullets to save Jayce from getting hurt. She did that for him. Everything happened too quickly. Leon, on the other hand, killed that Primero afterward.It has also been three days, and Jayce still hasn't shown up. I couldn't help but worry. He's not doing well right now.
Chapter 65VAREENI couldn't move from where I was standing. I still couldn't believe what was happening. The only thing I remembered from yesterday was talking to my Mom. A man arrived, and she suddenly covered my nose with a handkerchief containing a sedative.I woke up earlier, tied to the bed, and that's when I saw my Mom's unconscious body and her blood splattered on the floor. Her body was full of stab wounds and was relentlessly shot.I don't know why he did that to me, and I don't know why she was dead when I woke up. I don't know anymore!Just when I found them again, this happens. What really happened? I almost didn't recognize Dad earlier with how he laughed and talked. He even said sorry, then said he should have killed me sooner?What is it that my own father wants to kill me? What is happening that my Mom would do that to me?I don't know if I should cry, or throw a fit, or just be sil
