Addicted Damien (Sartori #1)

Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Parents

Remembering what Cecelion have said before had gotten me freeze on my spot, the silence was deafening me.

A spy, pretending to be a nurse, and attempted to kill Damien in his weakest, physically. The woman that Damien sent to Elliðaey, Iceland. A secluded small island where there's no internet or person to talk to. Their men would just deliver foods good for a month, but then when they've arrived in the island one day, they found the woman, dead, and hanging.

It was suicide. She killed herself.

Who would survive in that place even if there's food and water? There was no one there, maybe she went gone insane, or maybe she's already out of her mind.

By trying to kill a mafia lord? With that idea, she already lost her mind.

Still, I could not believe this.

My mother, she was still alive eighteen years of my existence, I could have the chance to see her, know her, and talk to her about my father. But why? Did she abandon me?

Hindi ako makapaniwala, ang hirap paniwalaan. Buong buhay ko ang alam ko ay matagal na silang sumakabilang buhay, naniwala ako.

But how? How did she become my mother? It happened just recently, just two years ago? Did she know that she has a child? Or at least her child was alive? Why didn't she try to find me? How did it end up that my parents were underhandedly involved with these people?

Aunt Eleanor.

I needed to talk to her.

Sa kanya ko lamang malaman ang sagot sa lahat ng tanong ko.

At para malaman ko ang sagot. Kailangan kong iwan si Damien. Sa isang iglap ay nagkaroon ako ng lakas para iwan siya rito. Wala siyang kaalam-alam noon na iyong babaeng tinapon niya sa lugar na iyon ay ang aking ina. Wala siyang kasalanan at hindi ko dapat siya sisisihin dahil nangyari ang lahat ng 'yon ay noong panahong hindi pa kami magkakakilala.

Pero kailangan ko pa rin malaman ang dahilan kung bakit gustong patayin si Damien ng sinasabi nilang nanay ko.

Tumalikod ako.

"You're making the right choice, Saoirse," I heard Alesandro behind me when I started to step my right foot up in the car. "Hindi pababayaan nila Drugo at Diablos si Damien. Alam kong nag-aalala ka para sa kanya," I could feel that he was trying to comfort me with his words, without any physical contact.

Totoong nag-aalala ako, pero ngayon ay tila nawala sa aking isipan ang kung anumang maaaring masamang mangyari kay Damien.

Ngayon ay buo na ang isip kong iwan ito. Kailangan kong malaman ang tungkol sa pamilya ko.

I did not look back. I did not even hear a single word from Damien when I finally got myself in the car, my gaze was straight up in front of the car as Alesandro closed the door.

Nawala ang kaguluhan na kanina ay sinusubukan lang nilang pigilan si Damien. Hindi ako tumingin sa kanilang direksyon pero ramdam ko ang nag-iinit na tingin ni Damien na sinusundan ang bawat galaw ko kanina bago ako nakapasok sa kotse. Hindi na siya nagpupumilit pang lumapit sa'kin para pigilan ako sa pag-alis.

Parang pati siya ay ayaw din maniwala sa mga narinig mula sa kanyang ama. Pakiramdam ko ay matagal niya ng alam iyon pero ang bigkasin ang mga salitang iyon ay subrang hirap para sa kanya.

Jhulix started the engine and I was still preoccupied of thinking what would it be like if ever I know about my mother's existence earlier than this.

Before I know, just hours of riding, we were already in an airport.
