Paramour - ViceRylle

Chapter 53 - The Reality

Present day

"hello?" Karylle says as she answers the phone. It was Yael.

"Time's up, K." tumigil ang mundo ni Karylle nang marinig ang mga katagang ito mula kay Yael. Vice Is still in bed so she kept it to herself at lumabas ng kwarto.

"Yael," she slowly said not knowing what to say or how to react.

"I know you and Vice are hiding.. Not just Mr. Viceral but your dad is also pissed."

Napapikit si Karylle. Vice was supposed to fly to California today but here they are, in the lake house. Akala niya they will let it go since they did not contact her for the whole week. What was I thinking? Of course they gave us the whole week only to ruin everything after the 7th day. "one more day.. give us one more day."

"where are they? I'm done playing their games. Why can't he just go so we could all be on our way." Mr. Viceral's voice can be heard from the other line.

"wait.. you're with them?" Karylle asks.

"Of course I am. I am a part of this whole thing. I signed every paper and I am willing to take custody of the child, as promised." Yael explained.

"why are you so impatient about this?" Karylle said furiously.

"Impatient doesn't even justify it, K! You're my wife and you're canoodling with your lover!" anger was visible in Yael's voice but he tries to control it. "How could you even—please stop acting like you're the victim here. Because we both know who is. And If I was the villain you were thinking, I will never lower down my pride and sign those damn papers."

"I'm sorry.." Karylle touched her forehead. "it's just that I need one more day. That's all I ask."

"We can't give you that. Your dad and Mr. Viceral made me call you. It could've been worse if they called Vice." Yael answered. "oh baka naman gusto mo tawagan ko rin si Vice--"

"Wag," kaagad na sagot ni Karylle. "please wag mo siya tawagan."

"K, it's over. You asked for a week and you had it. Now it's time to play your part." Yael was about to hang up when Karylle spoke.

"wait.." she said. "what if we don't want to?"

"you already know the answer to that K."

"please, Yael." Nagsimula nang maiyak si Karylle. "i swear, i will leave first thing in the morning without him even knowing. Just please.. give me this day.."

"K,"

"Please..." Karylle covers her mouth so her cries could not be heard. "if you still care for me.. please... I just need to say my goodbyes."

"I will try and speak with them."

Karyll felt a relief. "thank you. For everything. And I'm still so sorry for what I've done."

End Call

Flashback

Karylle woke up with a breakfast in bed. Some toasted bread, eggs, bacon, ham and cheese and a hot chocolate.

"Good morning moon of my life." Vice said sweetly from the other side of the room. He's looking at the view from the window while sipping his coffee.

Kinilig si Karylle dito as she looks at the breakfast. "breakfast in bed? Really?"

"don't pretend you don't like it," Vice looks at her. "it's painted all over your face."

"fine. You're the sweetest." Karylle smiles as she starts eating.
