Chapter 48: Why did you lie?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“I’ve been looking after her for a long time.” my brows knitted on Denver’s words. I stared at him to see if he was joking, but he was wearing an intense expression.
“What do you mean?”
“I liked her since then.” my left brow raised. This man knew Tara? How come?
“Are you serious?” I asked, but I calmed myself from shouting. Denver nodded. “So, do you know each other?” he nodded. I remained silent as I observed him. I can see that he’s not lying, and he answered my questions wholeheartedly, but why did Tara say he met with a stranger?
Is my friend lying?
“I know that it’s hard to believe my words, Ma’am, but we once go to the same University.” I let out a deep sigh. Tara did not mention this; I mean, I came into her life after she went to University.

“Why did you lie?” I asked that, making Tara’s brows raise. There’s a puzzled look on her face.“Huh?” I gave her a stingy smile and cupped her hands. I let out a deep sigh. I rushed here because of this, and backing down will put it to waste. I need to ask Tara directly!“That baby in your womb...” I stared at her eyes for a second, then brought my gaze to her belly. “You don’t really know who the father of that child is?” I asked and looked back at her. From her bewildered expression, it changed into apprehension. “Don’t lie, please,” I added that, making her lips wary.It took a moment before Tara let out a frustrated sigh and took her hands from me. She brought her eyes in front with her face as long as a fiddle.“Yes, I lied. I’m sorry, GD.” Tara apologizes without looking at m

The next day, I woke up while my body was in pain. I screamed silently as I sat up from lying down. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what happened last night.“I missed you.”I almost choked when Zygo’s voice suddenly came inside my mind. I don’t know, but my body suddenly feels hot. Gosh! What is he thinking? Saying those words in front of me while I was drunk!Remembering what happened last night just worsens what I’m feeling right now. I let out a deep sigh as I roamed my eyes around the place. I was really in my room. Well, thanks for that tycoon. Even if I could go home without anyone’s company, he insisted just to make sure that I arrived safe and sound.I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened, looking directly at the glass wall in front of me while some of the sun rays were hitting my direction. It was kind of nostalgic in this

“You guys, what are you doing here?” both of them immediately looked at each other and brought their faces back in my direction at the same time. They remained, their mouth sealed, “Why are you together?” I added with confusion on my face.“It’s a coincidence.” Zygo and Alchy said in unison. I stared at them intensely. I think my headache was back again because of these two. I let out a deep sigh and crossed my arms as I leaned on the door. I raised my left brow that made them gulp.“I heard that you got a fever, so I just want to check on you,” Zygo said while he was trying to avoid his eyes from me. I stared at him, and what he said last time suddenly came into my mind. I secretly shook my head and left Zygo’s words unrefuted.I brought my eyes to Alchy. My forehead furrowed when he also averted his gaze away from me.“I

It’s been three days since I’ve recovered from my fever and when those guys visited me at home. I was confused when Alchy usually acted that day. He should be asking why I lied since it’s already apparent that I’m his former captain’s daughter, and I keep it from him.I let out a deep sigh as I bit my lower lips. I can feel the frustration building inside my body. I leaned on the headboard and gently removed the eyeglasses on my face as I stretched my body.When I looked at the clock placed on the table, it was already two in the afternoon. I closed my eyes and massaged the side of my forehead. I have already recovered from the exhaustion, but I can still feel uncomfortable.I looked in front when I heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” after I said those words, the door opened, and Jay came rushing in. “What’s the problem?” he was bathing with

“Are you okay?” I swiftly brought my gaze to the front and stared at Alchy, who was at the driver’s seat. I nodded. “Are you really sure about this?”“Yes.” after hearing my answer, Alchy turned his eyes in front and positioned his hands on the steering wheel. Without wasting any time, he started the engine.“Captain...” my gaze turned to Lieutenant Grey, who’s sitting next to Alchy. He glanced at me before continuing, “We can’t afford to bring an outsider inside Bridi. It’s a battlefield. How can we go there with this woman? Other than that, we still have an assignment to finish.”I was sitting at the back, facing both of them. I caught Alchy glance at me using the rearview mirror. I don’t know, but my throat suddenly went dry. I moved my head to the side and leaned on the window while the car moved.

“Are you okay?” I nodded to Alchy’s question as I felt him sit next to me. We are in front of the tents, sitting facing the bonfire. It’s already nighttime and probably eight in the evening. We’ve just finished eating our dinner and taking a rest before going to sleep.“Yes. I expected less about this place.” I said wholeheartedly. I heard Alchy sigh and a creak from his direction, but I did not mind looking at him. My eyes were focused on the burning fire in front of me.“Maybe, this is a good time for you to fulfill the deal between us, Gandhara.” I looked at Alchy in shock as my chest throbbed intensely. “Your expression says it all,” he added while his gray eyes were focused on me.“Since when?” I asked when I finally calmed myself. I was taken aback because of Alchy’s sudden approach. I’m still shocked, but I

I groaned as I moved my body. It was painful. Maybe because of yesterday’s long ride wherein I even sleep in the car in an uncomfortable position.I’m still a little sleepy because I didn’t fall asleep last night. It was already dawn when drowsiness visited me. I stared at the ceiling colored orange, and I almost forgot that I was sleeping inside the tent.This place was the black tag soldier’s lair inside Bridi. Bridi was known as the City of the battlefield because countless terrorism happened in the same spot.This place was used to settle war problems and to train new soldiers to be the fortress of Tranquil. Tranquil is the capital City, while Bridi is the creator of the defense. I struggled to be here for a long time, but I’m here right now, overcoming my own issues.I let out a deep sigh and closed my eyes and open again. I breathe in and out for

“Shit!” I heard Alchy say between his heavy breath as he gently guided me to stand straight. “Don’t move,” he whispered in front of my ears. I don’t know what’s going on, but the red dots are coming from nowhere were still flashing on my forehead. “Find the source of this magnifying reflector,” Alchy said, but I knew that he wasn’t talking to me.Before Lieutenant Grey could answer Alchy, the place suddenly lighted. I can feel shocked within the three of us. I didn’t know there was a light in this place since this was destroyed by the bomb six years ago, and it still stinks.How come that electricity can flow here? I looked around and filled my thoughts with an answer. There are lamps on every side of the place. From its look, it was made with solar; and a trace of being on fire can be seen here. This place was abandoned.“Who

I hate dirty, but if I can’t hug you because of that, then I don’t mind getting myself a speck of dirt.” she hissed. How cute! She’s too young to know these kinds of things.

Thank you for asking.” Aki said, then smiled.

I don’t know, but I think they are close to each other in the past and even now.“I’m sorry for that, Andrea. I couldn’t go back to the City because of what happened six years ago. I need to recover from the bomb because I got traumatized when Galeo died in front of me. The explosion was too loud and made me lose my mind for a while.

Thinking about today excites me, so I tried my best to have a good rest so that I won’t be exhausted on the trip.” my mother sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. She’s been waiting for the day to start. I smiled at her because I feel the same way too.When Jay finished carrying the things to the car, my mother instructed the maids again.

I was currently packing my things because tomorrow is when we will travel out of the City. Alchy, Zygo, Jay, and Aki will also be with us. We plan to stay there for a week, and the place that we will be waiting for is already settled by my father’s former colleague.I can’t help being excited just by thinking that we will visit my father’s rest place; my heart is already hyperventilating. I let out a deep sigh and continued packing my things.“Maybe, this stuffs are enough for a week,” I mumbled to myself after a couple of minutes of packing my things. I let out a deep sigh and turned my gaze to the side when I heard an engine. Because of curiosity, I stood up from sitting on the bed and immediately took myself to the terrace.I quickly peeked outside and saw a black Lamborghini who had just parked in front of our house. I was confused for a couple of seconds, thinking who might

“Where have you been?” I immediately asked Zygo after getting ourselves to his hotel’s dining area. We are currently at his private part of the area, facing each other while separated with a rounded marble table.Zygo stared at me with a smile forming on his lips. By his reaction, I already knew what was on his mind at this instant. “Why? Did you miss me?” he asked with a grin on his face. I was right, and he never changed.I just raised my left brow. 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. I know that he has feelings for me, but honestly, I can’t pay it back to him on how he looked at me. “Is my words enough to f

It’s been three months since everything was at peace. It’s also been that long since I last saw Zygo. I don’t know where he is or what he is doing right now. 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. I let out another deep sigh and stared at the entrance of the hotel for a couple of seconds before I took myself inside.When I entered, there were no other people except those in the reception area. I walked quickly over there.

“Young Miss, the person you have been waiting for is already here.” one of the maids said. I turned my eyes on her and stopped from slicing the cake. “He was waiting in the living room.” the maid added. I nodded at her.“Sure. Thank you so much.” after I said those words, the maid left immediately. I finished slicing the cake and placed it on the plate. I let out a deep sigh and took myself out of the kitchen.I thought of giving this recorder yesterday to Alchy, but I remembered that he was not in the City. When I sent him a message, he immediately told me that he would be at Tranquil today.We exchanged contact information the last time.
