Start the War
Chapter 064
Few minutes earlier...
"Arnie..."
Tumigil lamang siya sa paglalakad ng maging sapat na ang kaniyang distansya kay Lorenzo. She's nervous but she's trying her best to hide it.
After everything she had done to the man in front of her, wala siyang karapatang matakot sa kamatayan.
"Please make it quick," she said with a smile. "but if you still intend to torture me, I am fine with it."
His jaw clenched.
Lumipas ang ilang segundo na magkatinginan lang sila. Arnie is still on her guard. Syempre ayaw niyang magulat kung mamamatay na siya. She wants to know it before it happens.
Bigla niyang naalala ang kaniyang anak na si Cheska. Eto na ba ang sandalling pagbabalik tanaw sa buhay dahil malapit na siya sa kamatayan?
She is now recalling her life—since she met her husband, since he died, since Joshua came, since Cheska came, and up until now.
Nagaalala siya. She's worried about Cheska. Surely by now, she's having a fight with Joseph. The last time she saw her, she's too vulnerable and weak.
Will she be able to defeat Joseph?
If she's still hesitating to kill him then surely her life is now in danger. She won't be able to kill that man with hesitation. Joseph might use that hesitation against her.
She has always been protecting Cheska from Joseph. Ginawa niya ang lahat para hindi sila magkita ni anino niya. She even hid the fact that she has a daughter. She protected her from him by pretending she is not existing at all.
But now...she's fighting against that man with her life.
No. She trusts her daughter. She will succeed. She will accomplish this.
This is her first duty as the mistress.
She will be fine. Paulit ulit niya iyon kinukumbinsi sa kaniyang sarili.
Bumalik lang siya sa kaniyang wisyo nang mapansin ang paggalaw ng braso ni Lorenzo.
Finally. The moment she's been waiting for.
"Don't shoot me with that face. I don't want you to pity me."
Lorenzo gritted his teeth. His entire body is shaking.
He can't.
He can't do it.
He cannot kill that woman in front of her.
Ever since that day, nagsimula na siyang magdalawang isip sa kaniyang gagawin kay Arnie. How is he supposed to kill the woman that is just the same as him?
Manipulated? Used?
How is he going to kill the woman who's already regretting? Who already knows her mistakes? How is she going to kill that woman who has already surrendered her life to him?
Hindi niya kaya. He's not that cruel.
But if he won't kill her then what has he been doing all this time? All those years of seeking justice? Para saan ang lahat ng iyon?
Hindi na niya alam. Naguguluhan na siya. Basta ang alam niya, he doesn't want to kill Arnie anymore.
His only difference from her is he got saved before he could even commit the greatest mistake he can make. He got saved while Arnie wasn't.
