Downfall: Zerachiel Hayden

Chapter 11:

HE ABRUPTLY stood up and unleash the words he always wants to tell me. "It will always be your fault!"

I know...

"If you just... listened to me! Then, she... she wouldn't die! I wish it was you who died and not her!"

I wish for it too...

He frustratedly grabs his hair and screams in frustration. No matter how hard I tried to forget it. It still pains me to see him like this. I know that it will always be my fault. If only I could... Go back in time. I would.

"Dude, you've got some anger issues there." I looked at the person who spoke and saw Dearil, smiling.

"You're late, again."

"I'm sorry, got some other business to do." He casually sat beside me. "Look at you, wearing a gown and heels? Dang, you must be really pissed to wear that thing, huh?"

I ignore him and fired back. "What kind of business is that? You looked happy." He mischievously smiled. I raised my brow after realizing what he meant.

"Oh! You just got laid, aren't you?" I clapped my hands and smiled widely. "Finally! After—"

I felt a hand in my mouth, stopping me to talk. I looked at Dearil, confused. He motioned his lips in front and told me to be quiet. I slowly turned my head, a furious Uno looking intently at us. We sit straight and shut our mouths.

"What's your business with me?"

I elbowed Dearil to talk, but he just shook his head. I even raised my eyebrows, but he looked away. I sighed and look straight at Uno.

"We want a certain item in this auction."

Dearil looked at me, amazed. "Always straightforward, huh?" He whispered. Asshole.

"What makes you think that I will give it to you, just like that?" I lowered my gaze and sigh. This is exactly what I thought. "You're not even welcome here in the first place, who do you think you are?"

I opened my mouth to talk, but my phone beep, stopping me. "Dearil, you talk to him." He looked surprised, but I showed him my phone.

"But—" I turned around and smiled in triumphant after hearing his heavy sighed.

'Where are you guys? It will be the last item.'

Zera immediately replied. 'We'll be there in five'

"We'll leave now, our business here is done. Dearil, Let's go." I stood up and walk towards the door Dearil immediately followed.

"You're such a brat." I heard Uno said before I close the door.

Dearil was so pissed, after leaving the room. "How could he say that? You're his—"

"You can't blame him, Dearil."

"But—"

"He lost a loved one. A family."

"What the fuck are you talking about? You're part of it too."

"He loved her more than me."

"You're his—"

"I know..."

"Why are you always cutting me off?!" I laughed and pat his back.

"Sorry about that. Let's not talk about it and get to business, shall we?" Iminuwestra ko pa ang kamay ko.
