Chapter 36: My Father’s Beloved Orphanage
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It’s been four days since Zygo came into our home to help me sort things out with my grandfather, and yes, it was a success. The engagement was called off. Robert and my grandfather went back to Rome a day ago.
I didn’t expect grandpa to bite with my plan and the thought that Zygo and I were dating.
I don’t know why but honestly, I want to be with Robert. I want to restore our friendship, but as I think about what happened when I was in Rome, my chest aches.
One more thing, even if he is still the person I knew before, Robert has changed a lot. He was a plump one then, a chubby nerd with the kindest heart. But now, it’s not just his physicality that has changed. It’s his whole being, and I feel like confronting a different person at that time.
I let out a deep sigh. Also, after that day, I never heard about Zygo.
“What are you think

I leaned to the headboard and closed my eyes.I spent my morning at the orphanage, and it almost took my whole day. It’s already three in the afternoon, but yet, I feel relaxed. I can still hear the children giggles and their sweet yet pure smiles lingering inside my mind. They are kind and lovely.Being with them made my heart at me ease, maybe because my late father loves the orphanage and the children. Something that no one can change.I immediately opened my eyes when my cellphone rang.

“Hey, are you okay?” I woke up from daydreaming because of Clark’s voice. I brought my eyes to him and nodded. He was sitting on my left side.“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just thinking about something.” Clark’s brows knitted with a look of curiosity, but it disappeared after a second.“If there is any problem, just tell us,” he said as he took a bite of the burger on his hands. I gave him a stingy smile. It’s been two weeks since we last saw each other, and we are currently in the hideout right now.“Anyways, where is your twin?” I asked when Chris was not around. Clark just shrugged his head.“I don’t know. Since yesterday, I haven’t seen Chris, so I came here because I was so bored at home. I also didn’t expect that there’s someone in the hideout.”“So, C

“Is that the reason why you guys are here in this town??” I asked.“Yes. We are here to strengthen our friendship.” Zygo muttered as he stared at me, “I was the one who planned this not until this soldier came inside the scene.” he added and glared at the man beside him. Alchy didn’t answer and gazed at Zygo.“Strengthen? I disagreed about this friendship in the first place, tycoon. I don’t have time to put another name on my friend lists.” Zygo turned his face on me as his brows knitted.“You are too harsh, Gan—Shantal.” he almost slips on, mentioning my name. “Is that what you truly desire? You don’t want to get close to us?” I raised my left brow.“What do you mean?”“Well, you are already involved in important things and events in our lives. Do y

“Then, do you have a secret?” I was stunned by Chris’s question. My heart was beating furiously along with my heavy breathing, but I immediately calmed myself. I should not show him that his words affected me.“What secret, Chris?” I asked. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds, then he suddenly laughed and averted his gaze.“Nothing, Gands. You’retoo serious!” he muttered without looking at me.“How about you? Are you hiding something from us?” my question made him turn at me in a second. Even if I wasn’t sure, Chris was startled in a brick of time, but he hid it immediately.Even though we’re not in the same situation, I’m sure with the slight movements he made, he’s also hiding something just like what I did.

When I opened my eyes, I felt pain in my neck. I groaned softly and moved to adjust myself because I had an uncomfortable position.The only thing that came inside my mind after regaining my consciousness was that I was abducted.I quickly rolled my eyes after recalling what had happened. I was currently lying on the floor, so perhaps my body hurt because of the hard cement. The place is bright and relaxing while surrounded by white decors.My eyes are still drowsy; maybe it’s because of the tiredness I feel and what happened earlier. I don’t know where I am or who did this to me. Is this another one of our pursuers?“You are awake.” an unfamiliar voice from a man abruptly caught my attention. I immediately roamed my eyes, and when it landed in front of me, a man was staring at me intensely.I also stared at him for a couple of seconds, t

“I was your father’s mortal enemy when he was still alive.” I stared at the man in front of me. I’m not sure, but I think I heard that name before.“A terrorist, huh?” I mumbled. “If you are my father’s enemy, why are you treating me like this?”“How should the prisoner be treated?” my lips quivered at his question. Ramage turned his gaze to my back and quickly returned it to me as well.“You are more interested in the death of my father. Should you be grateful because he’s already gone?” I uttered, but there’s a pain forming in my chest. But, I also need to know why this man brought me here and why he thinks that what happened six years ago was an incident.“You are right.” he stared at me, still wearing the dominant look in his eyes. “Should I be happy?

“GD!” Tara hissed when I entered the hideout. Without hesitation, she opened her arms and hugged me when I reached her. “What happened to you? Chris said that you suddenly disappeared after borrowing his phone. Are you alright?” she asked after pulling the hug.“I’m fine. Sorry for making you guys worry.” I mumbled and smiled.“Where have you been?” I turned my eyes behind Tara and saw the twins walking in our direction, “You suddenly disappeared like a bubble, leaving my phone behind.” Chris added, but there’s worry in his eyes.“Something urgent came up.”“More important that made you leave my phone on the pavement?” I just stared at Chris without answering his question.

I was about to speak out the words that I used to do, but something was playing inside my mind. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with it since we are already friends.I flashed a smirk. “Am I not allowed to miss you?” I almost burst into laughter when I saw how his expression changed.

We exchanged our contact numbers, but I did not get a message coming from him until now. The truth is, is he okay?I shrugged and let out a deep sigh as I stared in front of me. “What am I even doing here?” I mumbled to myself. I was currently standing in front of the ZF Hotel. The place where Zygo and I first met.I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I really want to see that person. Maybe, I got so close to them, and I couldn’t admit it to myself before.
