The Billionaire's Wicked Scars | RBS 3

CHAPTER 24 - ALONE

ZERO

I'm fucking lost. 

That's the entire thought that runs inside my head as I walked to the meeting room. I need something to cool me down. Hindi yata ako makakatagal sa loob ng kwarto naming mag-asawa kung mainit ang ulo ko. Lalo lang nadagdagan ang guilt ko nang makita ang maluha-luha niyang mata. I shouted at her. The monsters inside me was triggered by some words she carelessly threw at me. 

I can't blame her. I also experienced the same loss and I know how excruciating the pain was. But on my part, I have my sister while she's left alone. Unlike me, I still have a family. Kaya hindi ko masisisi si Amara kung bakit ganoon na lang ang galit niya kanina. Fucking past! Now, I don't even know how to face her! This is all my fault. I should've been more patient to her because she's hurting inside.

Another reason why I'm distracted for the past days we went out for the mission is the text message that Aria sent me. It's been nine fucking years and I still look like a lovesick puppy. Yes, I loved Aria and I'm still hurting from the fact that she's in love and happily married to my best friend, Alexus. Am I having regrets now? It should be me she's married to if only I took my chance before. But I know it will not work that way. She's happy now. I don't think I would still want fate to change.

The realization struck me. I am now a married man. I have Amara with me. I should stop daydreaming about Aria. This time, I need to decide and finally let go of her, for me to face the new journey I have now with my wife. Amara's been good at taking care of me. Despite the arrangement that we had before our wedding, I know deep inside me that I, somehow, care for her like how she cares for me. Hindi ko alam kung saan o kailan nagbago ang pakikitungo ko sa kanya. It just happened. Like what I said, I am comfortable with her.

I did not sleep the whole night. The men helped me do the mission. I don't want to face Amara without any progress on the information we gathered. I want to do something for her. I want to ease the pain that I caused her earlier. Those small gestures that I did before I left her is not enough for me. I need more.

"Are you sure about this, Zero?" Farrei asked from the earpiece.

"I can do this."

I still don't know why he joined the ORION. I guess he's still looking for her. How many years was that? I can't remember.

My jaw clenched when Henry tried escape from my grip. This motherfucker's stubborn! Damn! I twisted his hands and pushed him towards the shelf. The expensive figurines fell into pieces.

"I told you! I know nothing! Who the hell are you--fuck!" he groaned when I placed a knife on his neck.

"Tell me everything you know about Hillary Villaflor? Why did Winston Morgan killed her?" I asked. This would not happened if only he cooperates.

"I...I don't know!" he tried to kicked his foot towards my knee but I did it to him first. Henry fell on the ground and the knife slightly cut the skin on his neck, making the blood to gush out.

"It's not hard for me to put this knife on your neck, Henry. Tell me..." and I will not hesitate to really do that.

"Three armed men approaching the area." - Farrei

I silently cursed. Good thing Farrei's with me to be my eyes! Damn! I should've also brought Helion with me for assistance. 

"N-No! Fine fine! I'll ... tell you now! I'll tell you now!"

I tightened my grip more as I listened to him.

"P... Passcode... That's it! That's all I know!" he trembled.
