The Soul's Liberation [Mr. Hot Billionaire](Completed)

Chapter 38

Fliory

Lahat kami lumingon kay Sutton. We pinned our eyes on him as he walk towards us but Magnus did not. He walks toward Sutton. Kwinelyohan niya ito ng marahas.

"What the fuck do you know?" galit na tanong ni Magnus. Face drench in tears.

I felt the need to go to him, to run and try to comfort him. I suddenly have this urge to just pull him away from here, go somewhere safe where he don't cry.

Lalapitan ko na sana sila but Rein held my hands.

"He needs the truth. In a mess up way or not. He needs answer," Rein said and I looked at him with hesitation but what he said is the truth. He deserve to know and I don't think I'm in place to try and pull him away from that.

The suicide is already too much.

"Let him know the truth," sabi ni Sun habang seryosong nakatingin sa kanila.

Tumingin kami kay Magnus na hawak pa rin si Sutton sa kwelyo.

"Sumagot ka! Did you know this?! The s-suicide?!" Magnus choked when he said those words.

Napakagat ako ng labi ko. I could hear desperation in his voice and a glint of hope in his eyes, hoping everyone is lying to him.

"I knew from the start," kalamadong sabi niya kay Magnus. Magnus' eyes widen then he punches him.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?! Why didn't you tell me?!"

Hindi sumagot si Sutton na ngayon ay naka upo na sa lapag.

"I know----" He suddenly stop and his agonizing sob that is nearly a groan filled the room and he breaths out to try and talk. "I know you think I don't deserve a kind of woman like her but you can never deny my love for her! Never!"

"Ilang taon akong naghanap ng hustisya! I dedicated a lot for her revenge because I love here. I wanted justice just as much as you claimed you wanted but how can you do this?" umiling si Magnus as he wipe his tears.

"We both want justice!" Sutton's loud and baritone voice made Magnus silent. "I am her father! And I wanted justice! Do you even know how hard it is to know that I am the reason why she killed herself! That I was the one who should die for us to have the justice we both wanted!"

I bit my lips but it wasn't enough to hide my tears anymore. My heart breaks for both of them. The pain in Magnus' voice and the pain in the Father's eyes.

"Gusto ko ng hustisya. I was denial of the truth I have uncovered back then. I wanted you to suffer. I wanted to blame you. So I made you do all the shits you've done until now. Until I realized I was so stupid. I saw that suffering just as much as I do whenever you try so hard to look cold to me. The visible pain, I realized we're both suffering and I am the reason. Ako ang rason kung bakit parehas tayong nasasaktan. So go on. Kill me...."

Nanlaki ang mata ko when he pulled out a gun and kneeled in front of Magnus.

"You want justice right? Come on, kill me. I am the reason why my daughter killed herself."

Umiling ako. I don't think this is the answer. Don't do this.

Unti-unting inabot ni Magnus ang baril. I was ready to run but Rein restrained me with his both arms. I tried to let go but as I move I feel dizzy.

"You don't need to see this, Lady Fliory." A voice whispered. It's Rein's voice.

I don't need to but I want to. I want to see, I want to know.

Then I black out.

Magnus

Blangko akong nakatingin sa baril na hawak niya, na inaabot niya saakin habang nakaluhod.

She didn't let out any sign she was sad, that she was suicidal. She always smiles, cheer me up, make me feel happy and calm. Make me feel like I am lovable the way I am, that I can be who I really am with her.

Naninikip ang dibdib with the thought that she died from suicide. This feels more painful than when I knew she died. This feels heavier and I feel like it's choking everything inside of me.

I drop the gun on the floor and get down on my knees.

I didn't bother hiding my sob, my pain, my frustration, my regrets.

"I'm sorry," bulong ko. "I failed her. I should've save her. I'm the one that needs to die," I said. I picked up the gun and put it on his hands and guiding it to my temple.

I closed my eyes as I try to look back on the days I had her in my arms. She was very bright and happy.

I didn't hear any gun shot. He pulled the gun away from my temple and I felt a hug.

"I am sorry young man for making you feel this way. If only I could've just accepted that I am the reason why she killed herself and told you the truth. Maybe you could've let yourself go and made peace with her death. I am very sorry."

Mas lalo akong naiyak. My face drench in tears but I don't care.

"I knew she didn't like my work. That she hated it. I can see it. I can sense it but I ignored it thinking it was fine. And when the suicide happened. Hindi ko na alam. I was in pain. I couldn't even tell my wife. I know she'll be in pain too. When I think of you, I wanted to blame you and I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he says.

For the first time, I couldn't hear anything but pain and regret in his voice.

Mas lalo akong naiyak. We're all suffering from her death. Hindi ko na alam kung bakit ang sakit. Is it her suicide? Is it the fact that we're all suffering? What is it? I can't tell why my heart is aching. I feel like every part of me is aching.

He pulled himself away from me. Tinignan niya ako, mgayon kitang kita ko na kung ano bang laging nakatago sa mata niya. 'Yong lungkot, kitang kita na ngayon na parehas kaming nahihirapan sa pagkamatay niya.

Biglang lumuhod sa Clover sa tabi namin. I can tell how clover was really haunted by her death too.

Sutton looked at him and smiled, a weak, sad smile.

"I understand you," sabi niya at tumayo.

I looked down and think. It's mentally fucking me and I'm tired. I can't handle this. I can't.

Nabunutan ako ng tinik sa puso knowing that Clover was alive I had so much regret killing him when I saw his brother, but so much pain went to the place where I had put the regret I felt towards clover's death. Now it's filled with pain and frustration and anger towards myself.

I should die. I can die now. I need to die. I want to die. Can I die?

I bite my lips trying to stop another sob that's probably going to turn into a scream. I can't seem to find ease in crying anymore. I feel like the more I cry, the painful it becomes.

My hands went to my chest and I clench my fist together with my shirt hoping if I did that,everything will stop but no.

Im still on the floor, Sarah's dead, I'm tired, I'm in pain, everything is a bad news. everyone has suffered enough.

I started to run out of breath until I feel like I'm trying to reach for air. I breathe through my mouth with the hope that more air would come inside if I did but it didn't. every part of me is tense and I feel like I exploding.

I felt a faint pain on my neck and Rein's hands on my back.

I frown and look up to him as my body started to ease up and my vision becoming blurry.

"Rest, my lord."

Umiling ako.

"No," I weakly said and tried to get up but my strength has left my body. Rein caught me before I could drop on the floor.

I look around and I saw Jax chewing the top of his lips as he looks away from us. I saw Paine tending to his brother and I saw Sun and Fliory resting on his back.

They sedated her.

I blinked many times to clear my vision but then I started to see Sarah coming towards me and I frown while she smiles.

"Don't fight it," Rein says.

When he did, I black out.
