TORTURING HER INNOCENCE °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

34. Love at First Sight

Uno's Point of View:

Kahit saang anggulo ko tingnan, mali ako, kasalanan ko lahat ng nangyari kay Gabriella. I should've just stayed away from her that night. Or I should have just come clean and told mom the truth in the morning... Or I should have just listened to her pleas. I should have never left her or let her leave.

Gusto ko lang namang matapos na. Hindi ko maatim na pati si Daniella ay madamay. Jillian has begun messing with her. At si tatay Piolo? Hindi nila deserve na pagdaanan 'yon. Hindi sila ang dapat na magbayad sa mga katarantaduhan ko. If I will fight against Jillian, it will be a long process especially in Tatay Piolo's case. Hindi ko kayang panoorin si Gab at Danni na malayo sa tatay nila.

"Is this a white flag, Uno?" Jillian asked after seeing me in front her doorstep.

"I want you to stop what you are doing. Stop messing with Gabriella's family!" I screamed at her in so much disgust and anger.

"You know what to do. I just want you to leave her."

"Keep your hands off them, Jillian."

Nasa isang bar ako ngayon, umaasang ilulunod ng alak ang sakit at pagsisising nararamdaman ko.

Gabriella...

"Palmer."

I looked up and saw an angry Carter Andrews. He looked at me with loath.

"What did you do? Where were you when Gabriella needed you most?" Sumbat niya sa'kin habang kinuwelyuhan ako. "Paano kung hindi ako dumating do'n? Paano kung hindi ko nasundan si Donny?"

"I know. I am a jerk. Gabriella was right about you. You are twice the man that I am...or even more. I'm sorry I was a jerk. I hurt her and now I destroyed her life."

"Wala ka bang gagawin tungkol dito? Where's that Uno Palmer who tells everyone not to touch her girl? I need that man right now!" He jerked at me. "Palmer, I need your help. I want Donny and his accomplice to rot in hell."

Alam kong hindi tatanggapin ng pamilya ni Gabriella ang tulong ko kaya si Andrews ang hinayaan kong magsagawa ng plano namin. Cases were filed until Donny spoke up about his accomplice. It's Jillian. I visited her behind the bars.

"I told you to stop. I told you not to touch her, Jill."

"I will get out of here and finish what Donny hasn't ended. Your girl's lucky she survived." She said, flashing her grimace. I can only clench my fist. I am helpless.

"Surprise. You will not be bailed out. I want you to stay here forever. You deserve to stay here, Jill. I'll make sure that you will never get out of here. Have a nice stay. Feel at home."

It's really not enough for me. I want them tortured. I want them dead for hurting my Gabriella. I want them gone in this world. But Andrews right, I cannot place the law in my hand.

"Dude! I want you to leave my sister out of this!" Maloney ordered when he came to visit me in the condo.

"She will not get out of there. She ruined Gabriella's life! Where were you Malone? You are her brother, where were you?"

"Uno, come on! That Gabriella's just one of your girls. You just saw her at the bar! I know she isn't that special to you—"

My hands breathed life on their own. Kinuwelyuhan ko si Maloney dahil sa sinabi niya.
Kaya ba sinubukan niyang landiin si Gab noon? Akala niya hindi ako seryoso kay Gabriella?

"Don't show your face to me again. I will break it if you will." I warned her before thrusting him out of the door.

I heard that Gabriella has woken up. Nagbakasakali akong makita siya kahit sa malayo. Pero imposible 'yon. Nang makita ko si tatay Piolo na umalis, patakbo akong pumunta sa silid ni Gabriella. Mula sa nakaawang na pinto, sinilip ko siya. It's true. She's awake. Pero dinudurog 'yong puso kong panoorin siya. Napahawak nalang ako sa pintuan habang nakapikit, imagining I was able to touch her.
