FIFTY THREE
We are in an abandoned under-construction building owned by Eugene’s family. It is in the middle of the land of the Taylor Family. They brought me here and the man who had abused me was in front of me.
His face is full of blood while sitting and tied up.
I will never forget this man’s face. How he abused me over and over. He, above all, indulged my body.
“Hey, miss flawless, it is you. Did you miss me?” Eugene gave him a strong punch. He spat out blood and then smiled foolishly. “Eugene Taylor, did you also benefit from miss flawless or maybe you also want to dive in?”
Eugene would have punched him again when Ley got ahead of him. Ley pulled out Eugene’s gun and pointed it at the man.
“Mock us, and I’ll make sure you will regret why you’re still alive.”
The man looked badly at Ley. Ley stabbed the man in the eye with the tip of the gun.
“What do you need?” the man asked me then looked at Ley and Eugene. “I already told you what you want to know, didn’t I?”
“Stupid, we didn’t tell her. You should have told her. What you told us should come from your mouth.” Annoyed, Ley said at the man then hit the man on the head.
Does that mean they already know?
“Again? You’re going to kill me too, aren’t you? Why should I bother to speak,” the man complained.
“You’re really stupid, isn’t it? We’re not criminals. But if you don’t speak, you’ll really die here in this abandoned warehouse alone.” The man was silent at what Ley said. He looked at me then spit on the floor and averted his gaze.
“The f—” I stopped Ley then approached the man.
“Did you know I got pregnant?” I said.
The man immediately looked up at me because of what I said so I smiled. I picked up the cellphone and showed him the photo of Charles and he stared at it but I immediately put it back in my pocket as well.
“I brought him to life even though I knew he was the son of a monster. I left my husband so I can be with my son. My life was ruined, my father died because he couldn’t accept what happened to me. But I never thought to abort my child. ”
The man named Kranky was just looking at me. I will get nothing if I use force on him. I’m not as bad as them. I just want to let him know the result of what they did to me.
“I named him Charles. But because of the pain I went through at your hand, I did nothing but cry while he was still in the womb. I delivered him with a hole in the heart, with a liver and kidney defect.” The man averted his gaze so I took hold of his face and turned to face me.
“He is dead.” I saw the sadness and remorse on his face and tried to remove his head but because he was tied up he could not let go. “He died last night and we just came back from the cemetery because of his funeral. I didn’t prolong his suffering because he already suffered when he was still at my womb.” I saw the tears in his eyes so I let go of his face but he kept looking at me.
“I can’t bring him back to life. I can’t go back to my old life either. But I never regretted that I lost everything and I chose Charles. I don’t regret that I traded everything for him. If I had any regrets, it was because I was the cause of his suffering. Because of my sadness and suffering, while he was still in my womb, he had a serious illness. ”
“I won’t ask you to tell me who ordered you. It doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’m not a criminal to kill you either. Everything that happened before is useless. I’m tired of fighting. I’m tired of living. I’m tired of everything. If you don’t want to tell me who ordered you I won’t force you. God will take care of you, “I said while turning away but I also stopped because of what he said.
“Paula. Paula Paredes.” I turned to look at him again. “She’s mad at you because your brother killed her sister. She wants to kill you so that Hunter can feel how to lose a sibling in a painful way. Most of all she like your husband.”
I was speechless at what he said. I was waiting to hear something from his mouth. Because I knew that from what I told him he had an idea.
“I am the father of your child. Because everyone with me has protection. I am the only one who did not use protection on us,” he said then burst into tears.
That, that’s what I want to hear. Because I heard him tell his companions to use condoms so they wouldn’t get infected with feces. He said he was the only one who had the right to blow inside me. But that’s not the only reason for me. That is not the only basis for me that he is the father of my child.
“I know, you don’t have to tell me. That’s why I told you everything because the first time I looked at you I knew you were Charles’ father. I hate you and every day I see in my son’s face the face of a criminal because he looks so much like you. But I love my son, your son.”
Yes, he may look very much like my son. But never I hated my son. Even though I could see in my son one of the people who drove me away I was not angry with him. I did not include him in my anger because he is innocent. He didn’t want to come from a monster.
“Paula has succeeded. You have more to say because I’m leaving?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I will not ask your forgiveness because what I did is not forgivable. All those who were with me are also dead. I am one of those who drove you away so I will also give you justice. My life is useless so don’t get your hands dirty with my blood. You don’t deserve to be a criminal just because someone like me wasted your life. Justice from me who made your life ruined, I will give you justice, Ashley Lewis Miller. ”
“Is that important?” I ask.
“Yes, for the peace of my soul. It’s as if I have the courage to face my son before I finally end up in hell.”
“I don’t know what’s on your mind but I don’t care at all. All I can ask is that you don’t bother me anymore. Please, don’t show up to me again.” Then I finally left that place.
‘Paula, the thickness of your face gets angry with me while you owe me something. You even managed to claim my husband but you didn’t succeed in killing me and you didn’t succeed in hiding the truth. Most of all, you will not succeed in winning my husband’s heart even if you still use your child. Even if you have a child and turn the world upside down, I know that Asher’s love for me will not change. My husband’s heart will not be yours because I will take him back from you even without my presence in this world.’
I won’t mess with them because there’s no need. Because I knew Asher wouldn’t let me go just because of her. Even if I leave and walk away again Asher’s love for me will still remain.
Even now that though he knows I have Charles, but he is still the one I love and he admits that he loves me too. Even if I go away, he will still look for me to take me back.
But I won’t do that again. I will not go away physically. I’m leaving the way I know. In the way, I thought.
And you Paula, you did not succeed in keeping my the truth. And you cannot take my husband because I know that even if I lose my presence, he will still choose to be with me and not you.
