Agercia Series 1: Her Finest Betrayal

C h a p t e r 32

AGATHA was silent while in front of the Tyrant inside his office.

"I told you not to divulge your identity just for me, but you still risk yourself- So I forgive you for consuming my men and for several times ignoring me," said the Tyrant.

"Thank you for your consideration, Father" she uttered and bowed to show her respect.

"I miss you calling me father and I am glad you came back even though you didn't finish your mission", The tyrant added while pouring the wine into the glass.

"So do I, Papa Regan." When she looked up she saw the Tyrant staring at her intently.

"I heard he loves you-" her Papa Regan said, so she was a little taken aback. Suddenly, the Tyrant stood up and walked towards her, then touched her chin to straighten her gaze. "Remember this, Agatha- We always fall in love with what we can't have," the Tyrant said.

Agatha could not answer and remained staring into the Tyrant's eyes. "Do you love him?- do you know what love means?" Suddenly the Tyrant asked.

"N-no, Papa Regan" she mumbled and slightly averted her gaze.

"Remember, he's your enemy, Agatha. Don't step aside from your plan just for that man. Love is very deceiving, darling. You are just being toyed with by how you feel- you don't love him. Trust my words, honey, you're just confused." Tyrant said, then let go of her chin and returned to his swivel chair to sit.

Ara just bent down, even more, to hide the emotion in her eyes. "Papa Regan, I do not love him- he's my enemy. And I can't love a murderer, especially since he is the cause of my pain."

"Look into my eyes and tell me that again- that you didn't like him" the Tyrant ordered.

Ara immediately looked up and hardened her face even more. "I never liked him, Father" she said firmly.

"Good, he loved Ara, you were Agatha. Put that on your mind", her Papa Regan added.

Agatha did not answer immediately. "I'm back to being Agatha again," she thought."I already know that, Father. You don't have to worry, I haven't forgotten my mission. I'm still stuck on my old plan- to kill the killer, which is him", Agatha said, but there was a streak of hatred and sadness in her voice.

Suddenly, the Tyrant smiled at her. "Have you eaten yet ? Magpapahanda ako ng pagkain kung nagugutom ka."

"No Papa, I'm full, I just want to rest" she replied and smiled back. Agatha immediately went to her room in her Papa Regan's mansion. She couldn't go home to her condo, especially since she was wanted in Agercia. So it is safer if she stays in the Tyrant's mansion.

Agatha took a deep breath as she stood in front of her bedroom door. When she opened the door, a dark room was exposed. "As dark as my life", she mumbled bitterly.

She gasped as she closed the door and didn't bother to turn on the light. She felt so heavy and had been holding back her tears because she didn't want to look weak and defeated in front of the Tyrant.

Yes, she just looks tough and firm, but the truth is, she really wants to cry and pour out all the weight she feels.

Agatha leaned against the door and suddenly fell to the floor and shed tears. "I f-ailed" she mumbled and slightly punched her chest.

"I trusted him so easily- dahil akala ko iba siya sa lahat. B-ut I was d-eceived by his k-indness" she stuttered as her hands trembled while holding her chest.

Agatha bit her lip to stop her groaning but it didn't work. In the extreme pain she was feeling, even her heart was in tears. "Ahhhh!!" Agatha suddenly shouted and cried hysterically. She didn't expect her to feel that much pain, "F*ck this life!!" Agatha's voice trembled and punched her heart slightly because of the heartache she felt. "Ahhh!!" she screamed in pain.
