Until now, Antony feels that pain, the pain that continuously swallowed him whole, the pain that made him unable to breathe. The pain that he couldn’t explain.
Oh, what a fool he was to fall for her words, a fool he was to fall for her pretense. All these years, it was nothing but an act.
The grim expression which Antony had, it was stone cold and full of pain behind his complexion. He could be seen gripping the steering wheel so hard, it could have left a dent in the leather material that coated the wheel.
Crystal was in silence, it turns out, Gina has been cheating on him for a long time. Her love for him was never
Crystal was in great uneasiness. She doesn’t know how to think, she doesn’t know how to react, she doesn’t know how she can process such information. She once thought that Gina was but a mere woman who thinks that she is at the very top of the world with the fame and wealth she currently has. But never did Crystal actually expected that Gina is nothing but a monster who could do practically anything to get what she wants, even in the most wretched of ways that even she cannot process. Even she herself will never step down to THAT kind of level, as to throw even her dignity away as humanity is no longer present in her entirely. “Why… didn’t you investigate this sooner?”
Crystal uttered as quietly as she could, guilt never ceased to exist from her chest. She finally spoke the words that she dreaded the most, the words that will haunt her for the rest of her life. The words that she will never mention ever again in guilt. At this point, she no longer knows if she will survive this, or if she will ever live the next day without thinking of those words. And his eyes, they were glistening with so much sorrow. The silent pleading deep within those azure blue orbs, the look of hope that allows him to be reassured that his trust will never be broken.
The sun was setting, it’s warm hue basking everything the light’s beam touches with its orange-yellow hue. The birds now travelling to the east in flocks or small groups as the day begins to shift into nighttime. the flowers whom bloomed in the early morning now slightly dullened in the ceasing presence of the sunlight, and busy vehicles now disappearing in a distance. The heavy traffic of earlier now ceased, and quiet whispers of the wind now grazed upon those whom are currently taking a stroll down the quiet neighborhood. Not a bark of a dog could be heard, for dog owners are returning home after their afternoon walks with their pets. The neighborhood was exclusive only to the wealthy, those families whom are influential and are willing to spend quite a fortune that could have built tons of houses. Just so they c
The atmosphere was beginning to grow heavy; it was near heart shattering, it was unnerving. It was starting to be highly uncomfortable, with Lylia’s words being of impact in Crystal’s heart. It was silent, and Crystal was having a mental debate on what she has to do, how was she supposed to continue this conversation? Should she not have brought this conversation up in the first place? Should she have just kept quiet about her matter and stuck up with her own misery which they are not supposed to be a part of in the first place? “L-Lylia, I didn’t mean to make you think like so. Of course, this is n
That night, the girls all left an hour later. They claimed to have other things which they are both in need to accomplish, and couldn’t stay longer anymore. Crystal watched as the vehicle in which her friends rode on, soon, zoomed out of the villa gates as she gazed on her bedroom window. She felt bad for making them feel so bad about themselves, that isn’t really her main aim to accomplish in the first place. Instead of lightening the weight on her shoulders, she just gained a misconception that dug her deeper into the pit of disagreement. She knew that they were not busy, just earlier, they wanted to have a sleep over with her at her room. But suddenly, they left saying that they have other things which they ar
The sun was so bright high up in the sky, clouds were vague yet not enough to cause any signs of bad weather or whatsoever. The garden’s greenery was bright and beaming with its natural pigmented color, and the flowers were blooming at the direction of the sun’s warm rays of light. Flocks and pairs of colorful birds sat on branches and any lengthy medium which they can dangle on and sung their melodious music of nature despite the neighborhood being fully furnished for human society. Maids and servants wandered around, some with watering pots and the other, with supplies. The gardeners of the villa were there to tend to the plants and ensure their youthful care. Flowers of various types such as marigolds, roses, lilies and even daffodils are all around, if it were only to be considered, the place could have been a great hang-out place or a park for couples and family to wander around and to gaze around the beautiful
The talk didn’t last long, and they were once again engulfed in complete silence. Crystal no longer had the will to argue with the man anymore, since anything she says will only be disagreed upon on by the man. The traffic wasn’t too bad, but they wasted a good one hour waiting for the traffic to lighten and move to where they are ought to go. It was around 10:30 that time, an hour and a half from lunchtime. She doesn’t know where they will go or what they will have, but she chose to stay quiet than to ask such queries that could lead to more unnecessary conversations. It wasn’t long until Antony finally spoke up as another traffic caused his driving to be ceased from potential movement. He cleared his throat lightly before gazing over at the woman after realizing that the traffic would probably be long
“You’re insane…” Crystal spoke out, barely audible but clear enough for the man to hear. The man snickered, proud of his work, not until the sound of his phone ringing distracted both of them into silence. He held his phone, answered, and held it close to his ear. “Hello? Ah, yes, Mr. Fred—what is that? I understand, I’ll be there as soon as possible.” He spoke, hanging up and gazing over at the woman sorrowfully. “I apologize, something came up at work, I need to leave.” He said, signaling at a distance until a couple of men in black came, all are wearing suits of black with matching black tinted sunglasses.
