Chapter 18

[Dylan's POV]

It's been weeks since that day happened. Oo, matagal na nga syang nangyari pero hindi ko parin makalimutan yung sinasabi ni Liam. I felt guilty, pakiramdam ko niloloko ko na si Steve. Pinagisipan kong mabuti 'tong bagay na 'to, I know deep inside, I'm still in love with that jerk.

Ayoko nang masaktan ulit! Hindi na pwede! Pero bakit ganon? Nasasaktan parin ako? Not because Liam tried to hurt me, I think it's because I know I'm not just fooling myself. I'm fooling everybody. I want to end everything but my ego couldn't just let it. I started it, I want these things to happen, should I still back off? If I continue this, they will still know the truth soon and I know nakaganti na ako kay Nicole and Liam but if I end this right now, I know na masasaktan ko si Steve at si Liam. Besides, masasayang ang effort ni Steve para sa akin kung tatapusin ko 'to. God please help me decide! Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko!

"Trixie, can you please cancel all of my appointments today until next week?" I called my secretary.

"But ma'am you need to attend the meeting later--"

"No but's. Just do it. Tell them I'm on a leave. I need time alone." I said then I started to walk away from my office. I want a break. I want time to think. I better leave my son to Steve. I know he will take good care of him.

"Steve? Could you please look at Drake for me? I really need time alone?" I said on the phone then started my car.

"Sure, but be careful for me please?" He replied.

"Of course I will."

"I love you." He said then I stopped.

"I know." I replied and turned off my phone.

I still feel guilty. I can't reply to him with that kind of statement. Hindi ko kaya. Ayoko nang lokohin ang sarili ko lalo na ang bestfriend ko. I've had enough. So I drove my car and went far from them. I think this is the best thing to do. I need to take break from all of this mess. I need to unwind.

So I stopped the car and went out of it. I examined every angle of the very beautiful view of the Taal Volcano. After hours of driving I finally got here. It's been years since I last visited this place. After sight-seeing the view, I immediately went inside our rest house. Yeah, we have a house here but we seldom come here because you know, work and some unecessary things get along in our way these past few years. So, I missed this place. I love the climate, the view and everything. It's like I'm stress-free and it's like I have nothing to do with my life except enjoying myself with a normal life.

I tried to remember how memorable this place was. This place was very sentimental to me. This place was the first place we went together as husband and wife. You know who am I pertaining to. Yes, it's Liam. This was the very first place who witnessed all of the promises we shared. It's great for me to remember those precious moments of mine. Somehow I felt happy but at the same time, hurt. I didn't know that everything would go this far. I mean, I never wanted everything to be complicated as this, but I have no choice but to face all this. If only I can turn back time, I will definitely change my decision. I will not make my revenge. Yes, I'm hurt, I really do, but I really think I've become too insane to create a stupid revenge against them. I thought I would be happy, but for a moment there, I realized that I'm just making things more complicated. I just got myself into trouble.

I think I would be staying here for days. If only I can stay here forever, I will do it. Just to escape from all of them. If I could just erase all my memories, I will definitely start a new life.

After dinner, I went straight to my bedroom and walked towards the terrace. I looked at the view but this time, I'm not focusing on the horizon of the place. Instead, I'm thinking. Overthinking.

Ano nga ba ang dapat kong gawin? I'm totally confused. Kung pwede nga lang na patayin ko na ang sarili ko I will do it for the sake of the others but I can't. May anak ako and I will face everything para lang sa kanya. He is the only reason why I still want to live. Drake gives me strength to face all these things happening to me.

I was facing the view from the terrace when someone's voice have spoken not too far from me. When the moment I realized who the hell called me,

I froze.

Please tell me this is just a dream.

[Third Person's POV]

After a few minutes of a very loud silence, Liam cut the awkward atmosphere forming between the two of them.

"I know the truth," Liam spoke that made Ericka turn to his direction. Liam catched Ericka's eyes for an eye contact.

Puzzled look, but definitely denying that fact she knows what he is talking about, Ericka asked, "What did you knew?" She asked, she's still composed as always.

"Something that is very obvious and it takes only an idiot for not realizing this fvcking charade of yours." Liam said calmly. Ericka was shocked from the words that came out from his mouth and at the same time, frightened by Liam's reaction. She seldomly see Liam's reaction like that, you can't read what was he thinking right now.

"So what is it to you now then? So you knew all along but you never told me?" She replied, showing a hint of smile in her face.

"Nothing, but I want to hear the truth from you. I want to hear everything from you!" Liam was still calm but his words are too sharp that totally hit Ericka.

"What's the point of hearing out the truth from me? It was totally over and it was nothing from your concern." She said defensively.

"I want to know why did you planned to play with me? And with my feelings?!" He asked.

"How dare you ask me that question! I believe that you are the one who tried to deceive me with that slut!" Ericka cried out.

"But you never let me to explain." Liam's voice calmed again.

"Explaining your side was completely a nonsense! It will never change the fact you cheated from me." she said, as tears fall down from her cheeks.

"But who is the father of your child? Just please, answer me honestly."

Ericka froze.
