His Dreadful Game

Chapter 17

Ciann Raven Morose

123 dials, 78 messages, and she's not responding. I threw my phone away when she cancelled my 124th call. I've been here outside their home for 4hours since she walked out from the event.

Inis kong sinipa ang gulong ng kotse ko. She doesnt want to talk to me. At hindi ko na alam kung anong iisipin ko. Is she affected? Ayokong isipin na their feelings are mutual but damn it! Masisiraan ata ako ng bait.

I don't know why I feel this kind of hurt and worry right now. I should be happy because of the pain I saw in Vonn's eyes earlier. But I felt anger instead. This is just a game. A lie. But why am I hella scared and affected? I won, right? Damn.

"Mahal! Get out! Let's talk!" I shouted

"Pasensya ka na talaga, nak. Ayaw nya talaga munang makipag usap e. Kahit kami ay di nya pinagbubuksan ng pinto." tita said as she opened their gate.  "Ginabi kana. Umuwi kana lang kaya muna? Balik ka bukas at baka hindi na magulo ang isip nya" I just nodded. I took a glance on her window for the last time before I decided to leave.

This is all that bastard's fault! I swear I would kill him.

Mabilis kong pinarada ang sasakyan pagdating ng bahay. I saw his car outside so I know he's already home. I walked as fast as I could until I reached his room. I kicked it hard instead of knocking.

I saw him sitting on the floor with a glass of beer on his left hand and a cigarette on the right. It was unusual. He never smoked and drink on his entire life. Pero wala na akong pakealam doon at mabilis ko syang sinunggaban ng suntok.

"Damn you!" I shouted still punching him pero hindi sya lumaban man lang. I pushed him away when I saw blood running on his nose already. Nanghihina syang umupo at saka sumandal sa pader. He was chasing his breath.

"Is that how you congratulate me, bro?" He asked. My eyebrow creased and I clenched my fist. He's drunk. He looks like a big mess now

"You ungrateful jerk! I gave you the company and still you had guts to embarass me and Shantelle earlier!"

He laughed at me. "I never asked you to give me that. I never wanted anything from YOUR family." may diin nyang sabi. He wiped the blood on his nose. "You know what... I never envy you for having a mother and I doesn't. I never envy you for having a plenty of money, for being the legitimate son, for being famous and for having plenty of friends."

My lips parted when I saw him crying. This is the first time I saw him like that. Since we were a kids, he never show me his weakness and I envy him for being tough.

"But you, having Shantelle, is something I can't bear. You can have everything in this world and I won't feel even a small insecuriry.. because I have her. And with that, I felt like I'm the richest."

Damn. Why am I wasting time listening on his dramas? At kung bakit ako nagiguilty ay hindi ko rin alam. Fuck

"I kept my feelings for a long time because I wanted to protect her from you! I know you would use her against me, to make me suffer if you'd find out how much she means to me!"

I was shocked when he knelt down in front of me. I lost all my strength. It feels like all my pride and hatred were vanished. I don't know how to react. I just watched him breakdown. I shouldn't pity him but that's what I feel now.
