CHAPTER 30: IGNATIUS
SORCHA'S POV
Pinagmasdan ko ang natutulog na mukha ni Daze. He looks so peaceful, even though I know his heart isn't at peace. Not after everything he told me that he had kept buried for years. Not after the box of secrets he opened and gave to me.
"You've endured a lot, haven't you?" I couldn't help but touch his cheek. We're still curled up on the floor with his arms around me. Even in his sleep, he's still holding on to me tight. "You're stronger than you think you are, Henderson. You can still smile and laugh after everything that has happened to you. Those things... they weren't in your control. You were robbed of control, and you managed to get it back."
Grant Henderson shot himself in the head in front of his family. In front of, Daze. It was heartbreaking, but for Grant, that's how he regained control of his life. Buhay niya na ginawang laro ng mga taong dapat pumrotekta sa kaniya.
Daze did it by losing all ties with his parents, gaining his grandparents trust, inheriting a fortune, and naming his business after his brother. He did that while doing what he loved, which was acting.
What happened could have ruined his dream for him, yet he made his own path away from his parents' influence. Mas malaki siguro ang naabot niya kung nasa ibang bansa siya.
"That wasn't my dream. My dream is what I have now because I had it my way. Hindi dahil sa kanila. They have no part in the career I built here. They have no say in anything. The dream I'm living is my own dream, not the dream they had for me and my brother. And for me, that's just one of the many ways they could pay me back for taking my brother away from me."
With everything that he told me, it finally made sense why he kept everything a secret. Iba ang dahilan niya sa dahilan ng mga magulang niya. His parents wanted to hide it because it would cause a scandal. No one even knows that Grand Henderson died by a gun except his family. Ang alam lang ng mga tao ay ang pagpanaw niya.
But Daze didn't want to reveal the story behind his brother's death because he didn't want his reputation tarnished. Na malaman ng mundo kung anong nangyari sa kaniya. Something that his brother did his best to hide. Something that he wanted to keep hidden even when he's gone.
"He left me a letter. Just me. He said sorry again and again. He said he tried to live. He tried to forget. He said he was sorry that he couldn't. He couldn't live with it, Sorcha. I don't think anyone could have made him stay. Not even me."
So Daze did the next best thing he could. Before he left Australia, he reached out to everyone that his brother mentioned who had gone through the same experience. He reached out to anyone who worked and was still working around that man.
Just like his brother, they were afraid. But Daze said that he would come forward. He didn't tell them that it was for his brother. He told them what he was about to do, as if he were the victim himself.
