"Look, your eyes are teary. Come here, I'll kiss them to make the pain go away," I heard Kyle say, so I smiled broadly.I recounted everything to him, and he was the only one who understood me. It was only with him that I let out all the resentment I was feeling.He is the only one I have at the moment. I don't think I'm okay after hearing all of that. I just can't with it. I'm not okay anymore because of that.I continued to eat the homemade ice cream he made. I didn't know if he was a chef or an engineer.I paused my thoughts when my phone rang, so I checked it.From: Mom."Sorry for what happened earlier, dear. Your Dad couldn't help but to tell you. I still know your real Dad, but we just don't talk. He's been asking about you, but I tell him you're happy with us. If you want, I can introduce you to him. He's been looking for you for a long time. I'm really sorry, my child."I didn't know how to respond to her message. I blinked several times because of it. My hands were sweating
"Thomas William," he said as he looked into my eyes."Oh, okay," I replied shortly and grabbed some chips from there.I bowed before turning away from him. I wasn't interested in him just because our eyes were similar."Your Mom ran away from me," I heard him say, which made me stop in my tracks. I looked at him again because of what he said, but he had already left.What?Because of my lack of interest, I left and headed to the meat section where we were supposed to meet.I waved at him, but he just frowned."Why?" I asked."I followed you earlier," he sighed. "Who was the guy you were talking to earlier?" he asked, making me grin."Are you jealous?" I chuckled.He avoided my gaze, which made me laugh even more."He told me that the new chips there were delicious," I told him."I'm not jealous," he said."Let's go," I said before going to the counter to pay.We both finished so we headed straight to the parking lot to leave. When I got into the car, I received a message from my Mom.
"I'm now engaged to Victoria Gonzales!" he said, almost stopping us all in our tracks.I glanced at Mom, who was utterly shocked by her husband's words. Various emotions could be seen on her face, and even Saito was taken aback."The hell? That's impossible, CEO Angelo!" I heard them whisper."You have a family in front of you," someone else said.I remained looking at Angelo, who still had a grin on his face as if he wasn't hurting anyone in front of him.The woman he called 'Victoria' approached him. She was beautiful, and her body exuded in sexiness. Are you telling me he replaced Mom with that sexy woman?"Sis, that's Dad's secretary," I heard Saito whisper in shock..Mom was still in shock."Honestly, guys, this is my engagement party, that's why I invited all of you here," he grinned before looking at us. "And of course, I already signed the divorce papers, I'm just waiting for her signature.""Dad!" That's when I looked at Saito, who shouted. There were cameras, and everyone her
"Oh, you don't know your father?" I heard him laugh."Well, he's Thomas William." That's when my whole world stopped, and an image of the person I met at the grocery store flashed in my mind."He left you and your Mother alone, that's why I kept your Mom for a long time," he laughed loudly. "He dumped you because you're trash."That's when bullets pierced my chest, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't bring myself to look at him because what he said might be true."Your Mom knows everything. They keep in touch, but she didn't mention you to your own real Father," he laughed like a maniac. "Is it because you're trash, and your Mom doesn't really want you?" he added, but I felt frozen in place."Don't listen. Get out of there, Savannah."Those words were painful enough to make me breathless. I forced myself to walk out of the building and saw Mom still crying there."Mom." I called her without any enthusiasm, which lifted her gaze."Is it true that you know my real Dad?" I asked firm
My shock remained as I watched Kyle kissing Jannah. Jannah was sitting on Kyle's lap while they kissed. Kyle even had his arm around her waist to support her during their kiss.It felt like cold water was poured over me as I watched them.My lips hung open as I watched them. I could see Angelo's face in Kyle's, with another girl beside him.I wanted to scream and confront them, but it felt like my feet were glued to the ground. If I confront them, will anything change? Will anything be different? They're already kissing anyway.Ah, all men are the same.The tears that I've been holding back since earlier were finally falling like raindrops.I wonder, when he said "I love you" earlier, is it true that he loves me? Or was he just saying it?He told me that Jannah and him meant nothing, but what about now? When he told me that Jannah isn't his type, what now?My lips trembled as I remembered everything, like a flashback replaying in my mind.Where did I go wrong? I said I wouldn't let my
"Hey, it's almost sunrise, it's time to say good bye, Kyle," I said with a smile while looking at the sky."No, we can't stop here, Savannah," I looked back at him, my face contorted because of what he said."The decision is mine, Kyle.""No! I'm part of this relationship, Savannah! You can't just decide everything you want!" His voice rose, so I paused. He held my hand.I angrily pulled my hand away from his grip. "I don't like to be in a relationship with someone who already cheated on me! I'm not stupid enough to choose you again!""Is that how you really see me, Savannah?""Yes! And that won't change no matter how many times you apologize because all I feel is pain from you!" My voice trembled with anger as I said that."I'm begging you, Kyle. Let me go because I'm not a toy! I'm not a toy, damn it!" I shout at him. "Let's stop this! I don't want you anymore!"He bit his lower lip and ran his hand through his hair. "Fuck, Why is it so hard for me to explain it to you?! Why can't y
As I returned to my office, I started sketching again to keep myself from getting bored. Later on, my face twisted upon seeing Olivia enter my office."Did you see your ex, Ameyst? He looks so yummy, right?" She teased, so I raised my middle finger in front of her."Oh, you saw your ex too? He looks yummy, huh?" I mimicked her, and she gave me an irritated look, which made me laugh out loud."Seems like I used the wrong word, hmm," I pretended to ponder. "Is he really your ex?" I laughed when she rolled her eyes. "See, you're sensitive.""You idiot," she retorted, making me laugh. Eventually, I was interrupted when Kevin texted me.Attorney Kevin:Let's meet up at Café Star. I have something important to discuss with you.Although puzzled, I replied to his text.'Maybe it's important,' I thought to myself and continued talking to Olivia."Let's eat now. Phoebe texted me that we should all eat together," she said with a laugh. "Damn, maybe our CEO and the others put a spell on us.""Yo
"I'm home," I said as I entered our house, but I was still thinking about what Kevin said to me earlier."Oh, dear, you're here," I heard Mama say as she came out of the kitchen. Saito was seated peacefully on the couch while talking to my father.A few years ago, when Dad and Mom got married, Dad had been searching for Mom ever since. He loves Mom, and Mom loves him.So, they got back together, huh?I hate love. I don't want to experience that again. The feeling of my heart shrinking, and not being able to breathe properly."Good evening, Dad, Saito," I said as I sat on the sofa. Mama brought me coffee, so I happily drank it."How was your day, sis?" Saito asked."You must be tired today," Dad said, but I just nodded."Your graduation is coming up soon, Saito. You'll be working soon! You're getting old!" I teased him."I'm really telling him now about you and him as the successor of my company," my dad said."Just give me money. I don't need your company. I'm working at the Foreister
