Chasing Rogue

Chapter 14

Chapter Fifteen:
The Mission's vulnerability

Rogue

"They're on their way back, stop being so paranoid." My Mom scolded, and I only glared back at her.

"How could you be so careless and pull such a prank? She's pregnant, Ma!" I yelled.

"Lower your voice hijo, I can hear you just fine." She gritted her teeth in annoyance.

Katharina came in the view and handed me a drink, I refused but she insisted, she even winked at me after she placed the drink in front of me. "You need to calm yourself, your brother won't harm her." She assures me and I just wave her off.

"I'm not worried about how Beau is going to treat her at all, I'm worried about how she feels about all of this. I don't want her to be stressed." I sighed and finally caved in, taking a sip of my drink.

I heard Katharina chuckle, seeming to be amused. "You love her, don't you?" She grins.

I shook my head, "I wouldn't say that I love her, maybe I deeply care for Sapphire, but I can never love her." I confessed.

Katharina frowned, "So why are you that worried about her then? Why did you bother bringing her here to meet us?" She raised a brow.

I shrugged. "We're going to co-parent, we have to care about each other in order to care for our child. I think it's only right for me to introduce her to the people she's going to be tied with forever." I explained.

Katharina just looked at me and shook her head. I didn't say anything more.

"We're home!" My older brother announces in glee and walked towards his woman.

"Hey, Caro." Katharina smirks and wraps her arms around him and they went on with their business. These two are so comfortable with PDA, it made me want to throw up.

"Where's Sapphire?" I asked, standing up to avoid the heated scene. Panic started rushing through my system once again.

"She was just behind me earlier, I don't know where she went."

Does she already know that Beau and Rogue are two different people? Is she mad at me? I looked around the living room but she wasn't there. Where could this woman be? I walked past the halls to enter the doors that leads to the balcony that oversees the vineyard, and there she stood, looking all torn and distressed.

"Sapphire.." I trailed, but she had her back facing me.

I came closer and put my hands on her hips, but what she did made me take a step back in shock. She slapped me in the face, and it stung more than it should. "You lied to me!" She screamed at me.

I swallowed a lump in my throat, I couldn't speak so I let her. "You fucking lied to me! What even is your real name, ha? You made me feel like a complete idiot!" She went off. "Mag-sama kayo ng Nanay mo na demonyita! She left me in an empty farm all by myself and even told me that my child and I didn't deserve you! And you know what? She's right! My child and I does not deserve a liar like you!" She yelled with pain, her veins are almost popping out of her pale neck.
