My 419 Nightmare

38. The Real Me

Ming's POV

What should I do now?

I just got him, and now he doubts me. It's all my fault. If only... If I can turn back the time, if only we met under different circumstances...

But no... I wouldn't change any of it for the world.

Maybe I should... tell him the truth.

"Angel..."

I take a step further, only to watch him step back. It hurts. But... it's my fault. I should tell him the truth and maybe... just maybe, he would open up to me.

"Angel, can you please listen to me? I'll tell you everything. Please..."

I hold up my hand to him, but he keep still. His face is unreadable; his gaze penetrates through my eyes, as if he's seeking my intention.

"Please..."

"Who are you?"

After a pregnant pause, his shrill voice breaks the silence. The tone no longer held the sweetness or anger like he use to use on me. In fact, it held a certain chill that bring shivers down to my spine.

This is the hidden side of him, I presume. The one that he tries to hide from the world.

It makes me wonder, which one is the real you, my angel?

Kit's POV

I didn't realize I sound so cold until I saw him flinch after finish my sentence. I can't help it. If by releasing my inner demon would make him tell the truth, then I will.

He's already trying to tell you the truth, Kitty.

How can you know that? He's been hiding a lot from me, so what makes you so sure he won't try to spin his lies around?

Erm... instinct.

Are you my conscious or not?!

I am!

Then why I'm getting mixed thought about this?

Shhh... He's talking. Listen.

"....he bar. When I wake up, you weren't there. I have fall in love with you after our night together. So... I try finding you. I- I did track you here. I'm sorry, angel. I'm sorry."

Aww... Kitty. He has loved you for so long. Can't you just forgive him?

"What else do you know about me?"

"Angel...?"

Kit...

I have to know. I have to know what else does he know. Did he...?

Shit. I think he knew. I can see how his eyes hesitate when I ask him that. He... He must think that I... fine. Let's just out it out in the open. If he hates me, feared me, or despite and get disappoints, it will be easier for me to leave him.

Kit. Stop. Don't do this.

"You know who I am, don't you? You manage to track me, and followed me here. I assume LGT is your work too?"

He goes silent over this.

"You are capable to track me all the way from China. You even manage to get a copy of my keys. Huh... I'm the one who was too dumb to notice that someone have been raping me all night in my own home."

"No, angel. No. I..."

"You are sure brave to do that to me, despite knowing who I am."

Kit! What have you done?
