Keenan

𓇢𓆸

Midnight. The auction finished exactly at midnight. I can't calm myself down so I decided to visit Céane and our child's grave. I drove going to our private owned cemetery without thinking.

"You haven't told me anything..." napaupo ako sa damuhan. I touched her gravestone softly. Just as soft when I touched her whenever she needed comfort or I just wanted to be close to her.

"Love, why?" pain and anger is consuming me. I failed to protect her even before she died.

I am not mad because she haven't told me. I am mad to myself for not knowing. I should've known that something's happening to her. Maybe that's the reason why she doesn't want to meet me when I visit her at home, she keeps on telling me that she's sick or she's out of the country. I am too dumb to not notice it.

Humiga ako sa damuhan at pinilit kong ipikit ang mga mata ko. Sa tuwing ginagawa ko 'to, hindi ko maiwasang maalala ang mukha niya. The beautiful person I lost. And knowing that something happened to her before makes it even worse. I breathed deeply as silence filled my ears. The silence is broken shortly when my phone ringed. Seige was calling.

"They are at their manor." Seige said.

I got up and quickly get into the car.

"Call Hunter. I want both of you to secure the gates. Kill everyone who stops you. Make sure no one from the family gets out. I want all the members of family in one spot before I arrive." I said while driving fast going to the location that Seige just sent.

"Keenan." I did not answer.

"Keenan, what the fuck is going on?" he asked.

"I'm killing everyone, Seige. I don't give a damn about the others, I am going to kill them all with my own hands if I proved that they wronged her."

I arrived at the entrance of Petrova's Estate and the gates are already open. Nakatayo naman sa hindi kalayuan ng entrance sina Hunter at Seige. Hawak hawak ni Hunter ang braso ng isang security na walang malay.

"This is so sudden. Can you tell us what's happening, Keenan? We are fucking up Céane's family. What the fuck is going on?" Hunter is quite agitated with my sudden orders.

I did not answer him.

"Guns." I also asked them to bring me extra guns and ammunitions.

"Keenan–" I immediately cut off Hunter's word to stop him for further questioning my actions.

"Shut the fuck up and follow me." I walked directly inside the manor while Seige and Hunter is following me. Marami na akong nadaanan na nakahandusay sa sahig habang naglalakad ako papasok sa manor. Inabutan ko ang mga magulang  ni Leonid na nakaupo sa sala. May bakas pa ng dugo sa mga damit na suot ng mga ito.

"What is this, hijo?!" Céane's adoptive mother voice broke.

I don't see Leonid anywhere. It's just his father, Nikolai and his mother, Grazielda.

"Hindi ko mapapalampas ang pambabastos na ito, Aisenyev!" Nikolai shouted.

Inilapag ko sa mesa ang mga litratong nakuha ko mula kay Damari. Unang una ang mga litrato ni Leonid na nakikipag transaksiyon sa mga taong hindi naman kasama sa organisasyon na sakop ko.

"T-This must be a misunderstanding, Keenan! We will never do this to you! We have pledged loyalty to your father!" Nikolai explained.

I spread out the other pictures, the pictures of Céane's suffering. Which fueled my anger more.
