Breaking up with Krista has me feeling some type of way-and no I didn't miraculously develop feelings for her overnight, I'm just a bit sad for her.

The way she was crying has been replaying in my head non stop and it has me feeling like some sort of monster. Maybe I shouldn't have ended things with her; but I would be unhappy and so would she.

It would've been better if I never agreed to date her. Yeah that would've been better, that way she wouldn't be so heartbroken. But another part that keeps replaying is the part when she asked me what she is going to tell her dad.

Mister Ilsan is a pretty influential man and he's the only man that my dad has respect for. I'm just glad the news of Krista and I dating didn't reach my father's ears, otherwise I would currently be standing at an alter, marrying a woman that I don't love.

There's only one woman that I want to stand at an alter with. Aria: the woman I can't have because the universe says so. Waiting for her to come back to me sounds just as ridiculous as pigs flying, because it just might never happen.

I wonder what she has been doing for the past three months. I hope she's happy with him. I hope he changed his ways and is treating her with the respect that she deserves.

I have to move on.

And the first step to move on is to forget about her and accept that she can't be mine. No matter how hard I try to make her mine. The next step is to rebuild myself; mentally that is, before I get into another relationship which probably won't happen for a very long time.

My phone chimes next to me and I reach for it on the bedside table. I squint as my eyes adjust to the screen, but what I see has my eyes widening.

Hey Zach, it's me Beatriz. I was wondering if we can meet up and have a conversation. It's important.

Beatriz, my sister? As in the same woman that hates me? The same woman that's married to that parasite Patrick? She wants to see me? How did she even get my number? Probably dad.

Sure.

She types.

Let's meet at my place.

She sends her address. And in case you are wondering, yes, I didn't know where my sister was staying until now. And she happens fifteen minutes away from me, which is interesting.

When do you want me to come over?

Now. Since it's the weekend and you're not at work.

True.

But wait, what if she's planning to kill me and dispose of my body because I said shit about Patrick? Or what if this is Patrick messaging me so that he can kill me? It's worth a shot.

I'm on my way.

My palms are sweating for some reason. The last time I spoke to Beatriz I called her dumb for getting pregnant with Patrick's child. Speaking of, I wonder how her pregnancy is treating her, how far is she?
