Dark Side of the Castle (Complete version)

𝓔𝓹𝓲𝓵𝓸𝓰𝓾𝓮

People say when love is real, it waits.

Well I heard that stupid kinda quotation from the stupidest person I know, Ulysses.

But I must say, for someone as stupid as he is, he's that person I admire for not giving up on love.

Who would've thought that after those trials, dramas, and years that he's been pestering Ivanessa there will come a time that he will eventually get her.

I raised one eyebrow as I gave one sharp look at Ulysses while he waits for his girl to arrived at the entrance door talking to some unknown gentleman.

As far as I know kinakabahan na ang lalakeng yan ngayon because the time na dumating si Ivanessa, he'll going to propose to her after years of being separated.

It was I think 5 long years since they decided to part ways because of their own circumstances and here they are finally getting back together for good.

Ivanessa came and Ulysses welcomed her as if walang mangyayaring proposal mamaya. That guy, he really is a good actor isn't he?

From what this guy sitting next to me said, Ulysses invited Ivanessa tonight by the reason of his 26th birthday celebration, but little does she know, everything is setup for her upcoming engagement to Ulysses. Well-- that if she'll say yes.

As I am busy minding my own business here, sitting at a round table, sipping my glass of wine. Bronze talked to me.

"Why are you glaring at them that much? Nagseselos ka ba?" he said trying to get on my nerves. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

Ibinaba ko ang wine glass ko dahil baka maitapon ko ang laman non sa pagmumukha niya.

"Save me from your nonsense Bronze" I said looking at him with normal rude face. "I wouldn't have attended if I am"

I saw him chuckled and shook his head and drank his own wine until the glass came empty.

"You're really no fun" he said laughing at himself.

I snorted. "At least not like you who only wants to have 'fun', even if it means playing other peoples lives"

What I said seemed to have hit a nerve and made his face turned into a serious one.

"So tell me about how you manipulated everything from the start so that these two love birds finally get their happy ending" I said sounding mockingly as I emphasized the word these, as I point Ulysses and Ivanessa among the busy crowd.

Bronze finally shift his glance at me, looking serious than ever.

"Oh?" umakto akong nagulat. "Did it suppose to be a secret? Sorry. I was just overly observant"

We both know that I purposely sounding like a plastic, when I said that. I just really know how turn the tables Bronze.

Instead of giving me death glare because of my mockery, I didn't expect him to grin.

"Nothing can really pass you huh?"

I again raised an eyebrow as a sign of wanting an explanation.
"Since when did it start?"

A waiter came to our table and refilled our empty wine glasses before Bronze answered my question.

When the waiter is gone, he looked at me knowingly and I already understood what he meant.

"You're really an assh*le" I can't helped but to cursed. "I hate to admit, but I really felt something is wrong when you called me that night saying I shouldn't come over Ulysses' 16th birthday party if I'm busy because you are plotting something"
