Bada's Pov

"I asked you a question, babe?" Y/n breaks the silence that was created by myself. "N-no. It's not that, baby. Please just try to understand that I'm only looking out for you. We both have no idea what could be inside the box." I again try to reassure her and totally hoping that she would buy it.

"Your phone." She says as she stretches her arm out. "Huh?" I question her confused at what she means. "Give me your phone." My heart instantly beats louder than expected. Is she doubting me?

"W-what? M-my phone?" Damn I can't stop stuttering. She then walks past me towards the living room. I hurriedly followed behind her. Gosh, I hope that phone is dead because I had thrown it earlier. I see her roaming around the living room and throwing pillows  on the floor, looking for my phone.

She then spots it at the near corner of the living room. I say an instant inside prayer. She looks back at me and walks towards the corner. She gets there and picks the phone up. She takes a look at it and tries to turn it on. Luckily, the phone is dead.

She looks at me as she slowly approaches me. She looks upset. She takes a deep breath and asks me... "Why did you smash your phone?" She looks at me completely aggravated by this.

"I got a message." I say immediately, trying not to lie. Is this the day Y/n finds out the truth about me? "From who, Bada?... what are you hiding from me?" She questions again, and I could hear the hurt from her voice. I first remain silent, contemplating if I should tell her or not.

"I-I already told you that I despise lies, Bada. Between us, lies should not even exist. What is so deep that you can't even trust me enough to share it with me?" Her questions are only making me regret it all. If she finds out the truth of how I've been helping her father for so many years, she would leave me. And I don't want that.

"Your father..." I say in a whisper. She frowns, and her mouth falls agape, like she was trying to say something, but nothing came out. "He's the one who texted me. To be m-more precise... he's the one who... who sent you the gift." I said as I kept my head low.

"H-huh? Wh-what do you mean? I-if he sent me a gift... w-why would he t-text you... h-huh? W-why would he?" She throws the phone to the couch and walks closer towards me as she eyes me... her eyes, making it even more difficult for me.

No, she can't find out like this...

She grabs me by my collar. "ANSWER ME!!" It's like I completely stopped functioning. I can't even tell her. Like how would you tell your girlfriend that you are the reason for her mother's misery? No one could ever be able to do that.

"Bada Lee... Why would Edward, TEXT YOU, ABOUT MY GIFT!!!!! TELL ME WHY? WHY WOULD H-" I don't know what got over me, but I spoke up... raising my voice as well.

"TO EXPOSE ME!!!" I feel her grip slowly loosen on my shirt. "TO FUCKIN EXPOSE ME TO YOU!!!" She aggressively pushes me to the point that my back hits the wall hard. "Expo-expose you? F-for what? For wh-" She stops her sentence as she remembers something.

She runs to her bedroom. I run after her, wondering what she's doing. I got there and saw her picking the box and untying the ribbon.

"Y/n... please don't open that box." I say to her as I slowly walk towards her. "W-why? Why shouldn't I huh?" She asks while still trying to open the ribbon. "Because what inside that box... will only hurt you more."

She stops as she slowly looks at me to meet my eyes. Both of our eyes filled with tears. We were both hurt. "You've been acting strange for a while now. You're constantly lying to me. Not trusting me.... so I don't think what's inside can hurt me more than that." She speaks as she gets back to trying to undo the ribbon.

"Trust me. It will hurt you more." I say attempting to stop her, but she succeeds in untying the ribbon. She places the box down and opens the lid. She again picked the box up and turned it upside down to empty it. Pictures got scattered all over the bed with one plastic bag that had a...

....gun inside.

She drops the box on the floor and picks up the pictures...one by.... one. I feel myself losing balance and fell on the floor with my knees. I burst into tears.

It's over...

All over....

Y/n's Pov

I can't believe my eyes. Photos of... my Bada and Edward together, smiling, shaking hands, and....

... one picture with Bada's photo as she held the gun pointed towards...my mom. The same gun that's right here, but her face is covered here. But I can recognize her.

"P-please try to understand.... hear me out first... p-please give me a ch-chance to explain." She dares to speak...

"Get out." I said in a low voice as I sat on the bed, looking at the pictures before me repeatedly. I'm hoping to see something different.

"Y/n.. p-pl-" I cut her off, not wanting to hear anything.

"Get out before I blow your brains off with this very gun." I said to her instantly. I'm not even feeling a slight guilt.

"I'm not kidding, Bada. I would happily sit in jail for murder for my mom. So get the fuck out." I say as I see her not moving.

"I-I'll leave... but please first hear me out. I promise I-" I can't stand it anymore.

"GET OUUTTT!!!" I said as I threw the same gun at her, but she ducked her head fast. She looks at me on disbelief. I slowly stand up on my feet and walk towards her with an expressionless face.

"I will tell you the exact same thing, that I told your partner in crime. I am not my mother. She may have not been able to handle you guys... but she raised someone who will. I think you are also forgetting something... although I hate to admit it... but I am his daughter, and being a psycho, is one of the personality traits I took from him. Now leave. Hucks!!" I said snapping my fingers and pointing towards the door.

I turned around and I feel like crying.  But I won't break down in front of her.

She's my enemy now.

I walked towards the bed and picked up the box and the pictures to place them back inside. I slowly took the gun and looked at it through the plastic bag it was in.

I then placed it back inside the box. And closed it. I hear movement behind me. Not seconds later, I heard the door open and closing. Which means she left.

I throw the box I packed nicely against the door and screamed angrily on top of my lungs. I grabbed my hair in fists out of anger and... before I know it... I was on the floor.

Breaking down.
