Falling for the Criminal

Epilogue

"Kelssey Resziele Gonzales, so this is her?" I coldly uttered as I looked at the name on the paper. "She's the one who killed her."

Cire nodded. "That's the data I got when I hacked their system. It was hard to break their security but I did it this time. Good thing I managed to get in when they were upgrading, they didn't notice."

"Alright. So she's 22 years old, huh?"

"Yeah, a daughter of a damn rich businessman, no wonder they were able to sweep the record."

I clenched my fist. Damn them. I'll do everything to make them pay.

"So ano? What are you planning to do? Are you gonna kill her?"

I smirked. "I'm gonna let her feel all the pain we felt. And if needed, yeah, I'll never hesitate to kill her."

Cire chuckled. "Alright, good luck."

Tumango ako at tumalikod na. But before I finally left the room, nilingon ko siya.

"No photo?" I asked.

Cire smirked. "Wala e, walang nakalagay sa system. Why? Curious ka?"

I threw him a glare. Tumawa naman siya.

"Don't worry, makikilala mo na rin naman. Your mission will start next week, right?"

Tumango ako. "Right."

Scelus Vindicta arranged everything para makapasok ako sa buhay niya. It was one of the perks of being a member, they'd help me get the justice I want. But in return, I'll offer my life to them, to also help other people get the justice they deserve.

"Marian." I coldly said as I looked at her grave.

It's been six years but the pain is still here... the pain of losing everything dear in my life. My fiancé and our unborn child.

I could still feel it. The bitterness and anger — for the person who did that to them and to myself. Kasi kung 'di lang sana...

I closed my eyes and balled my fist when I once again remembered what happened back then.

We were happy, we were sweet. Marian and I were highschool sweethearts, unang taon ko palang sa highschool ay gustong-gusto ko na siya, because she's kind, smart, and beautiful. Halos nga lahat ay sa kanya na. I courted her for two years, became lovers when we're in 4th year highschool, and got engaged a year after we graduated from college.

We were so perfect with each other. Sabi nga nila, we were soulmates dahil halos magkasundo kami sa lahat ng bagay. Mahal na mahal namin ang isa't isa. That's why after graduating college, she immediately agreed to marry me when I proposed to her.

Handang-handa na rin akong makasama siya habang buhay.

But the lifetime I imagined to spend with her was all ruined... because of someone.

It was horrendous. I hate who did that to her and I also hate myself... kasi alam kong may kasalanan din ako sa nangyari. Hindi ko siya naipagtanggol at kung hindi lang sana...

Tears fell from my eyes when I remembered what happened that night.

"Hon, ang sabi tinanggihan mo raw 'yong job offer galing Canada. Bakit? Sayang naman ang opportunity!" She looked so frustrated as she eyed me. Kakauwi ko at iyon ang bungad niya.

"Canada is too far, hon. May trabaho naman ako rito and you know... I can't be away from you. Hindi ko kaya 'yon." I answered and she immediately looked at me with disappointment in her face.

"But it's your dream, hon! Sayang naman kung tatanggihan mo dahil lang ayaw mong malayo sa akin! Please... don't let this opportunity pass." She uttered with her pleading eyes.
