Secrets of the Muse

Chapter 74

Last night, nagkape ako para 'di ako antukin at nang matapos ko ang revision dito. Kaso naalala ko, 'di ako sanay magkape kaya imbes na mawala antok, sumakit ang ulo at batok ko at nakatulog, GG. Ngayon ko lang tuloy natapos HAHAHA.

[Prince's PoV]

Sa labing walong taon kong pamumuhay, mulat ako sa klase ng pamilya na mayroon ako. Ang ama kong parang naglalaro lang ng buhay ng iba habang ang ina ko na sinusuka ang sariling buhay na pinagkakait ng nauna sa marami.

Killing is a sin and my parents were both sinners. Dad took many lives while mom took hers.

And I was supposed to follow my dad's footsteps. I have to kill those who are and are not innocents for pleasure and business.

I had already accepted that fate, though. Until I met her. She taught me many things that changed me for the better.

Thanks to her, never have I ever felt the urge to kill someone.

So bad.

Until this day.

"Napalakas yata ang suntok ko at pati ang anak namin ay nadamay. But it's okay. We can make another one after this."

I clenched my fist, hindering my blood to flow causing for my hands to whiten. I was gritting my teeth too hard I could hear some of them crack as I watch blood flow down her thighs.

Pakiramdam ko ay kinakapos ako ng hininga habang hindi maproseso ang nakikita.

She's bleeding.

And Shinichi fucking Vallega just announced that it's their baby?!

"W-what?" Grayson who couldn't believe his ears as well asked. "Is she—"

"Yes," pagpuputol ni Shin sa sasabihin niya. "Too bad, mukhang natamaan ko siya kanina nung sinuntok ko ang mommy niya para makatulog. Ang kulit kasi e," naiiling na sabi pa nito at pinangko si Princess.

I tried to open my mouth to say something but I just couldn't...

"P–ero dalawang linggo palang..."

Shin tilted his head on us before laughing a little. "Dalawang linggo palang simula nung nabawi ko siya sainyo. But that does not mean na walang nangyari sa amin sa loob ng naunang dalawang buwan na nandito siya. Besides, don't you know that fertilization can take up to six days after doing it and it usually takes 6-10 days for implantation to happen?" he sounded so proud while saying that. "I should lend you the book that I bought about this instead of me explaining things to you guys."

Before I could react, Uno and Dos ran past me and launched an attack on Shin.

"Fuck you! I'm going to kill you!" Dos exclaimed as he tried to yank Princess away from Shin's arms. Uno helped him but Shin only held her tighter.

"Come on, Uno, Dos," natatawang sabi ni Shin habang umiiwas sa dalawa. "Don't be like that. Dapat nga ay magmakaawa kayong panagutan ko si Princess dahil ako pala ang nakauna sakaniya."

A tear escaped from my left eye.

Nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko habang hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin kay Shin na tinatawanan lang ang sitwasyon. Nang mailipat ang tingin kay Princess, pakiramdam ko ay tuloy-tuloy ang pagkurot ng kung sino sa dibdib ko.
