Chapter 86
I honestly didn’t ask to be a bad person. I just want myself to be kind-hearted as always because I know that it would be easy for me if my attitude was like that. I will avoid getting into trouble and I won’t have any adversary if I stayed like that. But now, it’s different. Dark Alpha awakened the worst of me. And I’ll make sure that they will experience the taste of hell. That they will experience something worse than I experienced because of them.
And now that they just started a new game, I won’t make myself lose this time. Once was enough. It’s time to show them what monster they made because of their unavailing greed and starve for money and power.
As I stared at the sky, I feel like it’s sympathetic with the sensuous anger that I’m feeling right now. The clouds were darkening little by little and the sun was also gradually covered by it. The birds were also starting to fly fast to maybe avoid what I think was looming rain. Oh, it will rain? What a great day was it, then. It’s still my favorite time so I’m sure I’ll enjoy playing with Uno later.
Well, I don’t see him as Seymour right now. Because the Seymour I know would never be able to do those things to me. He was loved by my family and I know that he loves my family, too. My parents treated him like a real child but this was what he retaliated against. He killed not only my parents but also my siblings.
I sighed and sat down first on the bench just behind me. I took the bottled water that sat next to me and drank it. This day was going to be a long and bloody day. I need to prepare and I also need rest so that later my body was in condition.
Actually, I don’t even have a plan on how I’m going to act or where I’m going to position my staff later. I lost time because I was in Realondo one day and that’s when I heard about Uno’s plan. And if I had time I wouldn’t have to bother myself to plan. I know that I can fight him even if I have no plans. It’s funny to think because I know he’s struggling to plan and act while I’m just relaxing.
Where else and did I practice? I already know his every move and style so he can’t beat me this time. I will not be defeated by him even if he was still a man and I am only a woman. I believe that girls can do better than boys. And another was smart and strong staff I will bring with me later. They were all trustworthy so I know they can handle Dark Alpha.
I squat and fold my arms. After I put Ivan to sleep earlier I borrowed his cousin’s car and I left Realondo. I put sleeping pills in the juice I gave him earlier so he suddenly collapsed without him being aware. Well, it’s his fault. That”s for the deception he did to me on the occasion I can’t count. I keep thinking now about how I will torture him later.
Even though I still love him and he was my wife, I will not hit him. I wholeheartedly gave myself back to him but he managed to fool me again. Just seriously, how many impossible things can he do? He was able to fool me without me being aware of it. He made me feel that his love was real and I could see it in his eyes but … Why did he do that? He fooled me.
And this time I will not believe even a word that comes out of his mouth. I’ll make sure that he’ll end up regretting that he fooled me for God knows how many times already.
I don’t feel any pain now or even the slightest bit of pain here in my heart. Ivan made you more numb. It was as if I would let no one dare to enter here because I had already blocked a large and solid barrier there.
My cellphone rang so I immediately took it out of the pocket of my black slacks. I glanced at it and smiled when I saw that unregistered number. was he really going to call now?
I pressed the answer button and pressed the cellphone speaker to my ear. “Hello?” bungad ko.
“Oh, well. If it isn’t Andrea Steinfields or should I say … Rigella Crisostomo. The last woman standing of Crisostomo family.” A cold voice rang out in my hearing. I heard her grin on the other line.
I also let him hear my smirk before speaking. “Should I give you multiple and a boisterous clap, Uno? You got my number easily even if I just change the number.” I mixed a sarcastic tone in my voice.
“You don’t need to do that, Rigella. Your presence here later was enough for your admiration and amazement for me. It’s not new because I really have a lot of connections.” He boasted. The smirk on my lips was erased because of that. I seem to know what he was referring to.
“You didn’t pull your strings, did you?” I asked seriously and clenched my other fist slightly. My other hand tightened its grip on my cellphone.
“You guess, pretty woman. And wait, why was your voice turned like that? were you getting upset now because I went beyond you? Too bad, you’re too numb and entrusting. You didn’t even realize it then. ” he laughed softly. Unlike before, the tenderness in his voice disappeared every time he spoke to me. His cold and hoarse voice feels so unusual in my ears.
I sneezed to recover from the stagnation. Somehow, I’m amazed on how he moves. I didn’t even notice the indecencies he was doing then. He’s fitted to be an actor, actually.
“Well, I must admit. You did a very great job, Uno. I didn’t even notice what you did and acted. Can you teach me on how to plan like that? Teach me your styles and give me more knowledge to surreptitiously enter an enemy’s den. ” I kept my calm but sarcastic tone.
‘then come here to teach you. You know, I really like it when we’re having a bonding or teaching lessons like that, Queen. I want to teach you a lesson that you won’t forget for the rest of your life and a lesson that you will take until you’re inside a coffin and already lifeless. It sounds fun, isn’t it? ” his cold voice was tinged with enthusiasm.
I laughed a little. “I will gladly take that offer of yours, my dearest Uno. I will come there. Where will we meet?” I will ask.
“I’m just here in an old building near your house, Queen. I’ll just text you the address and I’ll assure you that the moment I see your face, I’ll immediately teach you the lesson. was it okay with you? ”
I laughed softly. This was a freaking useless talk. If only normal people would listen to us and no one knew what was happening now, he might have thought that Uno would only teach me a simple lesson. But that wasn’t like that because I knew he was implying something else to me.
“Alright. I’ll hang up, then. See you later, dear. I hope you will like the gift that I’m going to give you.” the gift of death. I’ll make sure that you will regret even a single thing that you did to me, Uno. Only Lintek has no reward.
“Oh, I like gifts. I’m getting excited because of that, Queen.” He laughed again so I smiled. It’s all a game for him.
‘then, hang up and get ready. Let’s end this frothy, trivial and worthless trifling of yours.” I said and little by little I felt and saw the rage of the heavy rain. This was a good start.
Darlyn’s POV
“Can you please calm down?” Xyleus said reluctantly as he relaxed just sitting on the sofa in front of me. He was holding his cellphone but I had the attention of his eyes.
I just stared at him and went back to walking back and forth. I’m walking back and forth for what about … Uhh, one hour? Ah, I don’t know.
I don’t even know why this shameless idiot was here. When I came out of my room, I immediately met him and he was the one who told me what happened. E if it’s not because he’s stupid he hasn’t really acted yet. He who was in arrears will not be able to recover it. I know he can do it. I just don’t know why he hasn’t acted yet.
I took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off my forehead. Even when I”m tired I don’t care. This was my way of thinking clearly. I can’t just relax like the man in front of me because it’s a serious matter. This should not be ignored.
Sometimes I see Xyleus periodically typing on his cellphone so I feel even more annoyed for him. He can still text while I can’t be bothered with it. was he kidding? And the thought that Corrine might be the one he was texting was the reason my blood was slowly boiling. This was a pest man! The flirtation can’t be removed even here in front of me!
When I was completely exhausted and I couldn’t really take it anymore, I just sat on the sofa that Xyleus was sitting on. Why so? I can’t think of any plan, I’m the mastermind of the Flaming Cross. I”m the plan maker but not a single good thing even enters my mind and I can’t even process something properly. was it because I’m disgusted with Xyleus or because I’m so paranoid?
“Argh!” I shouted and I was so annoyed that I pushed Xyleus. But the idiot, did not even move from his place and kept texting to whom.
I just stared and leaned back in my chair. Whoever you text Xyleus was going to die! He was a nuisance. When I need the help of my ex-husband, he will come to me later. They even know how to text!
“Did you really just come here to hang out and text?” my irritated question turned Xyleus to me.
He grinned and showed me the screen of his cellphone. I saw that Corrine was her text partner so my face darkened. Look at this man! He still has “Please come back to me, sweetheart” and then he still manages to flirt with his partner? He’s really okay too e. Another class!
I bit my lower lip and annoyed pulled his hand away where it was holding his cellphone. He was really flirting when I looked like he was texting Corrine. It’s really an animal.
He laughed at my attitude so I raised an eyebrow at him. He was not like this before. He didn’t laugh and he didn’t smile much. There were only a few and I will think about what will merge with it e.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I just asked Corrine for help. We don’t have any connection with each other anymore. We’re over.” he said smiling. I can also see the mischief in his eyes.
“We’re over your face. Don’t fool me, Xyleus, because I’m not really happy with you anymore.” I still said irritably. We’re over, then texting? Hah! Who did he deceive?
His smile was erased and he pressed his lips hard. The earlier mischievous emotion that was playing with his eyes suddenly disappeared. That was replaced by a serious and deep stare that I could almost breathe. Shit! I know this e. He’s getting angry!
“Why don’t you believe what I’m saying, Darlyn Louise?” the tone of his voice was cold and it was mixed with bitterness when he mentioned my full name.
That question of his suddenly messed up my system. In my own opinion I have no answer. All I knew was that I was angry with him because he traded me for someone else. Yes and he did say the reason why he did that but for me that still wasn’t really enough.
I can’t really understand myself anymore. Whether I believe what he says or not, I just choose not to believe so that somehow I can be sure. And whether or not what he says was true my system still can’t accept that. I didn’t want him to talk anymore because his words were confusing my brain and heart.
I grinned bitterly. Why was it so hard to regain trust when it”s gone? Can’t I just stop doubting and just believe because I know when someone was telling the truth?
I’m a freaking psychologist but I can’t apply what I’ve learned to myself. Great.
“Didn’t I tell you once before … when you’ve cheated and lied to someone a few times, don’t expect him to believe you?” I asked and averted my eyes.
He laughed and I saw in the corner of my eye the sadness in his expression. “Fuck those lies. Fuck those beliefs. Fuck those suppositions. I just have no doubt in myself that I really love you. And to say I don’t love you was a huge lie, Darlyn.” he said in a hard voice.
