Love Revenge [Book 2: Playboy Series

Chapter Twenty One

It felt so empty.

I lied in my bed, it felt cold, I don't feel comfy in my own bed.

I reached for my phone on the bedside table, Leonard was calling.

My heart wanted to hear him, and for once my brain agreed.

I answered his call but I stayed silent.

["Amy..."]

He sounded so tired and broken, it broke me more.

["I miss you so much, baby..."]

I covered my mouth so he won't hear me.

["Take me back, Amethyst, take me back, please"]

My tears fell on my pillow as I listen to his broken pleas.

["I promise, I'll change, I'll change for you, I'll change for us, baby, take me back, please"]

I bit back my sob as I hear him plead all over.

I'm sorry, Leonard.

["Take me back, I'm begging you, I can't continue without you, I'm sorry, if I did something that upset you, if you don't want to commit on me, its fine, I'll settle for what you can give me, I'll settle for anything, baby, please, let's get back together"]

If only it was that easy, I won't have second thoughts on loving you back.

["Amethyst, this is torment, but if you want me to go through this, I will, just to have you back"]

Why did I answer his call again? This is tormenting.

["I want to have you back, I want you back, I want us back, please take me back, take me back, Amethyst"]

I fell asleep crying.

I didn't go out of my room, my mom was anxious and worried, I barely eat my food, I lost appetite, there was not a time that I won't cry.

I guess my mom couldn't take it anymore, she forced me out of my room and brought me to the kitchen.

"This can't go on, Amy, you have to eat, you'll get sick, sige na, eat up"

Hindi niya ako hinayaang makaalis ng kusina ng hindi nauubos ang hinain niyang pagkain para sa akin.

"Hay, ang dami nang krimen ngayon" I heard Lola Nina.

It was night already, my mom yet again, forced me out of my room.

"Isang ambush ang naganap kaninang hapon, hinihinalang tinambangan at nakagawang makatakas ng biktima at sa kasamaang palad ay nahabol at pinagbabaril ang kotse..."

"Pamilyar yung kotse" Lola said.

"Ang biktima ay kinilalang si Leonard Mikael Sarmiento na isang engineer, umano, ayon sa mga saksi--"

My eyes widened upon hearing his name, halos takbuhin ko ang distansya ng kusina at sala namin, nakatayo si Mama at nakatakip ang kamay sa bibig.

"Eh, nakita ho namin na hinahabol yung isang kotse saka binabaril, nakatago ho kami natakot na sumilip pa ng mas marami baka madamay kami"

A video of Leonard was being rush to a hospital while covered in his own blood.

My eyes widened, I felt suffocated.

"No, that's not him!" giit ko.

"Ayon sa pulisya, iniimbestigahan pa nila ang mga pangyayari, at tinitingnan sa bawat anggulo--"

"That's not him, Mama!"

I tried to deny it kahit nakita ko naman na siya iyon.

It was somewhere in Bulacan, why was he there? Saan niya balak pumunta? Why was he ambush? Kaynino ba siya may atraso?
