Chapter 60

“Where did you learn how to drive?” He asked with his eyes remained closed from the passenger seat as I glanced at him for a moment. He still looks pale and unwell. It makes me think that perhaps he's in pain.

“Knox taught me,” I replied. The side of his lips rose for a moment.

“Are you sick, Sean?”

It was strange and perilous. I didn't want to have this feeling, but why am I worrying towards him? I should not care for him anymore. I am done catching him from his fall.

“No. Work is just killing me,” I couldn't help but heave a heavy sigh. Yeah, right. How can I forget how workaholic he was?

“I drowned myself to work when you leave,” I stayed silent. Does he really have to bring that up again? I'm feeling the guilt when he should be to feel this, not me.

“Why are you always in the hospital?” I asked to change the topic.

“Check up? I've been seeing a therapist,” I nodded. What Nathan said was right. He's having his therapy. Does it mean that he couldn't free himself yet

  • Lies in the Billionaire's Eyes   Chapter 61

    Chapter 61My heart was racing. All of a sudden, I felt like I was short of breath again as I ran out of his house. I stopped when I was already in the garden, near the gate of his house. I couldn't even calm my chest. I was trembling entirely and my hands were cold. “What have I done?” I mumbled weakly to myself as I bit my lips frustratingly. Coming here isn't a good thing at all. I should have just ignored Sean when I saw him at the hospital or perhaps, I should have just trusted the nurses earlier and handed them the freakin’ papers that Nathan needed. My phone rang, which interrupted my thoughts. My lips parted when I saw Charlotte calling. Did they find out that I wasn't able to give the papers to Nathan? “Fuck,” I swore and mumbled. I had to shut my eyes firmly and inhale deeply before I took the call. “Charlo—”“Where are you, Dahlia?” My brows crossed immediately when she didn't let me finish anymore. “I'm…” I bit my lower lip and eyed Sean's mansion. How am I supposed t

    Chapter 62“Are you sure you don't really want to hire a makeup artist and a stylist?” Knox asked while I was only wearing a wardrobe while busy doing my hair and makeup in front of my vanity mirror. “Yeah. I can do it myself,” I uttered. “Excuse me, Knox. But I want to do my makeup with Dahlia.” I glanced at Charlotte from the mirror when she just barged inside our room without knocking. I smirked and shook my head. She didn't even wait for Knox to answer as she just walked towards me. “You already barged in, what else can I do?” Knox glared at her while he was laying down on the bed with my son who was busy on his iPad. “By the way, Sean won't be at the party, right?” I paused from curling my hair when she brought that up. I glanced at her through the mirror with my sharp eyes. Why would she bring that up all of a sudden? She doesn't even look bothered or regretful. She remained wearing her blank face as she sat beside me. “What?” She asked when she found me looking at her. “

    Chapter 63“Knox,” I froze and was glued in that position. It seems like everything stopped the moment I saw Knox standing there while my hands were stuck trying to wipe Sean's sweat. That moment, I almost stopped breathing. I felt like someone poured the coldest water on me. “Did I disturb the two of you?” He chuckled bitterly before his eyes landed on my hands near Sean's forehead. “Dude, it's no—” “SEAN!” My eyes widened when Knox didn't let him talk and made him taste his punch. “Knox, stop!” I quickly said and tried to pull Knox away from Sean who landed straight on the ground. “Tell me, you want her back, don't you? You fucking treated her like a trash and now you want to steal her?!” “Knox, no! Please!” I was so close to crying when I was still trying to stop him from pouring punches at Sean. He didn't fight Knox no matter how many punches he threw at him. “KNOX! WHAT THE HELL?” “Get him away, please!” I almost begged Nathan when he arrived with Ford. They both quickly

    Chapter 64I came back at Knox’ house to get all our things. I was shivering and at the same time shattering in pieces while getting our things. I kept shedding tears from my face while I was in a hurry. Knox isn't here yet, and I don't think I could ever see him right now after what just happened to the party. My heart was so heavy that I couldn't stop from crying. “Mom, are we leaving Dad?” Emman's little voice made me pause. I glanced at him and I saw how sad he was. In one snap, I couldn't help but cry. He quickly went towards me and embraced me with his tiny arms. That's it. I already burst into tears when I felt my son's hug. “Don't cry, Mommy.” He said while caressing the back of my head. He even shed my tears with his own hands. “I won't leave you even if they all leave,” he swore, standing for me like a real man. I cried aloud as I hugged him tighter. I looked like a kid more than him. In a few minutes, it seems like I became Emman's daughter and he became my parent. “Th

The bottles and cans of alcohol are all on the floor. Without Dahlia in their room, it looks like total rubbish. A day has passed since they both broke up. Here's Knox, has no plan to get out of the bed but plans to isolate and kill himself in the room. “Can you at least take a shower? You stink, jerk!” She exclaimed as she madly picked up all the trash in the room. Knox just sighed and now brought himself in the bathroom to take a bath. Right after taking a shower, he finally went out of his room to eat after starving himself the entire day yesterday. “Sir Knox, we prepared food for you.” The maid uttered, seeming surprised when he saw him. “Thanks,” he uttered without any energy in his system. “You didn't mean it, didn't you?” Ford asked when he found Knox in the dining area. He was still sipping on his coffe

    Chapter 66“N-No…No, No! Dad! Wake up!” I paused in front of the morgue while Knox and his family were in front of me, mourning and grieving. “Don’t do this, Dad! Wake up, please!” My heart bleeds to see Knox crying like that. He looks miserable and I knew that his world shattered. Nathan was looking nowhere, trying to hold back those tears that he couldn't refrain from falling. Mom was crying silently beside Dad who officially left us all right now. “Is grandpa sleeping?” My eyes landed on my son who was filled with extreme innocence. I didn't know how I would tell him that his grandfather is now dead. “E-Emman,” I called, while I couldn't help but burst into tears as well. “Why are you crying, Mom?” He asked with his tiny voice. “Why are they crying, too?” He asked again as he glanced at them inside the morgue. I felt feeble at that moment. I was too weak to speak and tell him what was happening. Every memory of Knox’ father was flashing back in my head. We weren't able to sp

    Chapter 67“Knox told me that it's time to tell Emman and Sean the truth,” I uttered while Charloy and I were in the veranda of the house. It's early in the morning and we were already having our coffee while watching the sunrise right in front of us from the sky. I love the sunrise more than the sunset. It's because sunrise reminds me there will be a new day for everything and it is not the end yet. In 6 years that I was away, I used to watch the sunrise and remind myself each day that everything will be a fresh and peaceful morning away from all the problems. “Really? Why don't you tell Sean the truth then? I also think that you should tell him this time, and Emman.” She agreed as I felt how she glanced at me for a second. There's a part inside me that stops me from revealing the truth. I am not mad at Sean anymore and I know that I already healed from that. Everything is going to its place. My ruined life is now being fixed slowly. “I don't know why I feel like I can't tell him

    Chapter 68“I think I want to do something,” I uttered while we were in the middle of our meal together. They all glanced at me with their brows crossed, filled with questions in their eyes. Claire was helping Emman with his food, standing up as his real older sister. “What is it?” Knox asked. I paused while looking at all of them, wearing a tiny smile playing on my lips. “I’m thinking of having another branch of my coffee shop here,” I arched my brows to them along with my shining eyes filled with excitement. I could already foresee it here. I know that I was against it before for the reason that I do not want to come back here because of my past relationship with Sean. But now that everything is going well, I think I can consider having another branch here. “What? Really?!” Charlotte exclaimed. Her eyes almost bawled out in joy and excitement. Well, she was always the one who has been trying to convince me about it. “Aren’t you going back to Australia?” Aunt Melva asked. “We w

    Epilogue1 month later…“It's been a while, Sean.” I muttered as I placed the flowers on top of his tombstone. I paused when I felt how the cold breeze embraced me and I felt like it was Sean. It sounds crazy, I know. But then, for the past month that Sean is gone, I never really felt like he really left us. There are these weird moments where I feel like he was around me, responding to any of my thoughts through the wind. “Perhaps you and Celeste are really destined forever,” I added and made a chuckle before my eyes landed at Celeste's tombstone beside Sean as well. I was the one who decided to bury him beside Celeste. Well, I know that Celeste has a biggest place in his heart and this is where everything started. If it is not for Emman, I would feel like I was only an extra to their love story—perhaps, I am Sean's side story. I placed other flowers at Celeste's tombstone as well. Looking at her tombstone reminds me of the day I witnessed how miserable Sean was because of his de

    Chapter 80“I'm sorry, Dahlia…” Nathan uttered to me right after I still brought Sean to the hospital. He eyed me with so much despair, mourning already while I was standing there with my tears couldn't stop from pouring out of my eyes. “I'm afraid what we fear just happened,” he added. The moment I heard that from Nathan, I fell on the ground, losing all my strength. I wanted to scream but I felt like I lost my voice. I wanted to cry aloud but I felt like I had no strength to. My world shattered into a million pieces again and it felt like everything just stopped. “I'm sorry,” Nathan's voice cracked. He tried to hug me, but I moved away and quickly stood up to see Sean once again. “Sean,” I called, feeling so weak. I wanted to hear his voice and see his smile that I used to admire, but then, I knew that it is not possible anymore, which breaks me even more. My hands were shivering but I managed to grasp his now cold hands. He died while he was with me to the place where he first

    Chapter 79“They want to see you, Sean.” I uttered. Emman was still with us, sitting on the other side of the bed. He looked away, and I knew that he didn't want to see them or should I say, he didn't want them to see him looking feeble like this. I heaved a light sigh while still holding his hand. “Don't you want to see them? They have been worried about you, especially Ford.” I mentioned trying to convince him. He shut his eyes firmly before he finally made a nod at me. “Really?” I asked delightedly. “Yeah,” he replied. I smiled from ear to ear after hearing that.“Hold on, I'll call them.” I quickly said before I ran out of the room to call the three of them waiting downstairs. “Can you calm down? You'll see him,” I heard Charlotte say to Ford who was walking endlessly in front of them. “He wants to see you,” I said, loud enough for them to hear me. All their eyes shifted at me from upstairs while I was wearing a soft smile, feeling a glimpse of hope. After a few weeks of no

  • Lies in the Billionaire's Eyes   Chapter 78

    Chapter 78I was staring at the coffee in front of me, watching it become cold. I am at home now. Later, I will go back to Sean's house to look after him again. I feel tired, but I know that it is not because of taking care of Sean; I'm tired of seeing him struggling and hearing his screams each day. I feel like it traumatized me. His screams stay in my head and I still hear it wherever I am. “You okay?” Knox asked and sat beside me. I had to pull myself back together as I don't want to worry him. “Yeah, I think so.” I replied as I forced myself to draw a tiny smile. “Are you sure? I know you, Dahlia. You can't hide things from me,” he added and I felt his hand invade my hand on the table. That was the moment I glanced at him—and in one snap, I felt my eyes watered immediately. I look like a kid who cries automatically after seeing her father. “Perhaps, not.” I replied. Knox did what he always does. He pulled me closer to him and hid my face on his broad chest. I began to sob and

    Chapter 77“AHHHHHHH!” “Sean, please! Let's bring you to the hospital!” I exclaimed for the third time while everything was a mess inside his room. I couldn't do anything while he was shouting in pain and crumpling on his bed. He looks so pale and weak and yet I couldn't do anything to help him out. He was panting, chasing his breath before he just grabbed the bread knife from the side table of his bed and now glanced at me, pointing me out with that damn knife. “Kill me, Dahlia! Just fucking kill me, please!” At that moment that he was almost begging me to just kill him, I felt how many daggers pierced my chest that I knew it was bleeding so much. My tears began to betray me again while staring at Sean. His eyes were glazing over while he was holding the bread knife so tight. “What are you waiting for? K-Kill me! AHHHHHH!” The knife fell from his grasp as he screamed again and started to crumple in so much pain on his bed. “Sean,” my voice broke as I went beside him and held hi

    Chapter 761 month later…Some people hate to stare right through the sky when it is too bright. They get blind from it and the sky's brightness is hurting their eyes. But then, I am different. Watching how each cloud moved slowly in front of me felt like it was dragging me along with it as well. Seeing the beautiful color of the sky along with the sunshine shining upon us captivates me entirely. I heaved a heavy sigh as I closed my eyes calmly, feeling the heat of the sun shining upon my skin. I just offered myself there, laying down on the sand and enjoying the peace. I could hear the noises of the people around me who were having their own worlds but nothing can beat the deafening but mesmerizing sound of the ocean’s waves. I could hear every move of it, back and forth. The sand on my skin was so gentle that I felt even more comfortable with it. “Wake up, woman.” My eyes remained closed even after hearing that voice. I don't need a minute to identify whose voice is that. I heard

    Chapter 75 “Have you asked him?” Nathan asked. He came here this morning and I guess he only stopped by to ask about that. I placed the coffee on the small table in our living area before I glanced at him and sat beside him. “I did,” I replied. “He already knows that truth as well about Emman,” I added and wore that tiny smile. “How sure are you that Sean will live if he takes the treatment?” I asked again, even though Sean already refused to take it no matter how I persuaded him.Nathan paused and looked away for a moment before he blew out a little sigh.“As I said it's a risk, Dahlia. Who knows? He might still live if he decides to take the trea—”“And if he doesn't?” It shut him up. I witnessed how he was lost for words the moment I brought up the other side of Sean's situation. No matter how we avoid thinking about that negative side, we cannot run away from it; we cannot deny that death is indeed chasing him, trying to collect his life. “Dahlia, you know that I'm just doing

    Chapter 74 “Do you think he won't hate me for being absent all those years?” Sean asked while he was driving. We are already near our house. After I revealed the truth to him and right after we fought, we reconciled for the sake of Emman. I still feel bad everytime he mentions his absence, which was not just his fault, but mine. I do not blame myself as I know that I had a deep reason to leave and hide my pregnancy from him, however, I couldn't help but wonder what change could it make if I came back and just told him that I was conceiving our child. “Emman thinks like an adult,” I uttered as the side of my lips rose. That is one of the things that makes me proud as his mother. “Like Claire before?” He asked and chuckled. “Yeah,” I paused for a moment. “Raising him alone wasn't hard. Not because Knox was there, but because Emman stood up with me like a real man beyond his age. He did everything to avoid worrying me and making me feel a headache. He's matured at his young age,” I

    Chapter 73“Emman is your son, Sean…he's our son,” I bursted into tears as soon as I said that. After carrying it for 6 years, I finally spilled the truth to Sean. His lips parted but he remained stunned. He didn't move as if he became a statue who was still absorbing it in his head. Instead, a single tear just fell from his left eyes while his eyes were firm and surprised, glued at me. “I-I’m so sorry, Sean.” He dodged my touch before I could even reach his arm. He stood up and turned his back at me, facing his desk. He didn't say a word, but I could see right through his face that he was upset because of what I had done. “You were pregnant?” He uttered as he faced me again. I nodded slowly in tears. What I just told him weakened him. I can see that from his eyes right now. I was only trembling while looking at him. My chest was aching every pound of it. “And you didn't tell me?” He asked unbelievably with unfairness invading his eyes. “I'm sorry, Sean. I'm so so—”“Bullshit, D
