Saved from the Dark (Galvez series #4)

Epilogue

"Did Cairo Alvarez leave the country?" I asked my men. Five years and I'm still looking for her. I didn't stop, why would I? I promise to myself that she's the only woman I will love and I will marry. Hanggang walang Letizia na lumilitaw hindi ako titigil. 

"Yes, Sir, he's with his girlfriend" 

I shook my head. So, he already forget about Letizia's existence? Ako nalang ba ang naghahanap kay Letizia? Even his own father didn't care about her. Fucking bullshit! I will find you, Letizia, just wait for me.  Wait for me, My Love.

"Hindi ka galit?" Tanong saakin ni Rigs. "She left you without any words and then you still want her back? Okay ka lang?" 

"I was mad," But then I realized it was all my fault. Galit ako pero naisip ko na may kasalanan din ako. I'm mad and I should be mad pero may kasalanan din ako. I can't blame her for leaving me.

"Pano kung may iba na? Paano kung hindi na ikaw?" Natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Rigs. 

I don't know what to say or to feel. Dati iniisip ko paano nga kung may iba na? Para akong mababaliw. I'm losing my shit thinking that Letizia is in someone else arm. Someone is comforting her, someone is kissing her, hugging her, giving her the best life. Someone is there by her side all the time, yung hindi siya iiwan... Unlike me.

Months passed and I still miss her. Her presence, her love, her face... Everything about her. Something that I will never ever fucking forget. Part of me wants to stop but I know in my heart that she's here, she's still with me. 

Alam ko na babalik siya. She will come back for me. I know she's just here. I know that we're just close with each other and I also know that we will meet again. 

I don't have time to search for her before because Dad gave me the RG Empire. Kuya Cloud didn't want to accept it so he passed it on to me. I carry all the responsibility alone, I was pressured but I did everything I could for our Empire and also for Letizia so that when we meet again, she will be proud of me.

"Do you want to love again, Trevor? Do you want to court someone else? Or file for divorce?" Ate Autumn asked. We're having dinner with her daughter.

I shook my head. "I don't have time for that" I'd rather die alone than replace my wife. She's all I've ever wanted.

"There's a difference between 'you don't have time and you really don't want to'" Ate Autumn said. She knows. She really knows me. "Trevor, mahirap ipilit ang isang bagay na tapos na. We can't force love and we can't force someone to love us." I was stunned by what she said.

 "I really like Letizia for you before, she's the only person who can make you smile and laugh. She's the only person who can make you truly happy but she's also the person who makes you quit your life. I feel so sad" Hinawakan ni Ate Ang kamay ko. "I hope one day you can also find love and peace in your heart, Trevor because you deserve it. You also deserve to be happy. You deserve to be loved too"

I deserve to be loved? How can I love someone when she's the only one I wanted? Nang umalis siya, dala dala niya ang puso ko. How can I love someone when I'm heartless? When she left, I became heartless because my heart is always with her. She took my heart away from me. 

"Be happy, Trevor. Kahit ngayon lang, smile and be happy" Sabi ni Mom. Nandito kami sa Paris for our short vacation. 

"Let him, Mi amore." Tinapik ni Dad ang balikat ko. "I can feel you, son. That's why I understand your situation." 

"Strawberry gelato" Sabi ni Mom at tinuro ang store ng icecream malapit sa flower shop. Pumunta kami agad tatlo don. Hindi pa kasi gising yung iba kaya kami muna.
