I WAKE UP hearing knocks from outside my room. I looked out the window and saw that it was night. I didn’t realize that I fell asleep crying earlier.
“Nathana.” It knocked again.
“I know you’re listening. It’s late. You have to eat. you can’t go hungry. It will be with you and the baby. So please, eat now. I cooked. Get out and get off. Or do you want me to bring the food here? “I didn’t answer and stood up. I went to the door and opened it. Clyde and I met face to face and stared.
“Step aside.” I said in a cold voice. It stepped aside and gave me way. I walked towards the dining area. I found the food served on the table. I immediately sat down while Clyde followed behind me.
Silently I began to eat. I feel like he’s staring at me but I’m not affected. I continue to eat.
A few minutes later, we still had no urine. I heard its sigh a few times but I ignored it.
When I finished eating, I immediately stood up and put the plate in the sink. I washed my hands and went to the fridge to get some milk. Just as I was closing, Clyde was standing behind me.
“Let’s talk.” He said but I shook my head. I passed him and walked up again. he still complied.
“Nathania, let’s talk. I don’t want to sleep, knowing that you’re mad at me. I don’t want to sleep mad at me.”
“But can you sleep in your bed while your fiancée is alone and you’re not with her? You’re her fiancée, you should be by her sidei suggest you go home to your fiancée. “I emphasized the word fiancée and grinned.
“Nathania, this is not about me and Daniella. It’s about me and you. We need to fix this. I don’t want you to be mad at me.” I stopped and faced him.
“Fix this ? clyde, we don’t have to fix anything because we don’t have a relationship. Yes, I hate you. If there’s anything worse than the word anger, that’s how I feel about you! ”
“What’s no relationship? You’re my girlfriend!” I laughed at his answer.
“Girlfriend? I didn’t know I was your girlfriend. because you didn’t tell me. I am not informed that I am your girlfriend while Daniella is your fiancée. Wow, are you loving? You already have Nathania, you still have Daniella! You’re so handsome!” There was a hint of sarcasm in my voice and I winced.
“Nathania, you don’t understand-”
“I really don’t understand Clyde! I don’t understand your attitude! You’re such a liar! You’re so good at making people spin! You’re so good at pretending in front of people! It’s easy for you to hurt me!” I don’t know how many times I’ve done this but tears came out of my eyes again.
He rubbed his face with his palm and kissed her. It averted its gaze and took a deep breath.
“Can you listen to me first? Please, give me time to explain my side.” his voice was weak and when he looked at me again his eyes were red. My eyes widened slightly and I was stunned.
Will she cry?
“Please? Listen to me first.” There was a pleading in its voice, causing me to look away.
the pain of seeing the person you love pleading and begging in front of you.
I cupped my palm and sighed.
“Two minutes. Two minutes for your explanation.” I forced my voice to be cold. There is no emotion on my face.
it took another deep breath and sneezed.
“I admit, I lied.” It started so I barely looked up.
“I lied to you. I lied to Daniella. But believe me, I never lied when I said I love you, Nathania. Yes, I lied. I hid from you about Daniella, but I had a reason!” it stopped and sighed.
“I’m just using her for my business.” There I looked at him again. Our eyes reached out and stared intently.
“His father is one of my business partners. Two years ago, our company stole 150 million. the amount of money we lost at that time. We don’t know the suspect. We have no idea who the people behind that theft are. The cleanliness of their work. We have no holes to see. They planned to rob the company. several months passed, we still had no lead. For two years we spent our time investigating until we had evidence. One of the thieves was Daniella’s father. Actually, there are many of them. And they are all my business partners. They are traitors. Are they that desperate to bring down our company? Are they really like that to get the company? Worst, Daniella’s father is the mastermind. We couldn’t believe it because Dad and Daniella’s father were good friends. But, the truth is he wants to own our company. but sad to say, he failed. Our company is still one of the successful companies in the world.” He shrugged his shoulders.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Until now, they are still my business partners. I’m acting like I don’t know anything. But the truth is that they don’t realize that I’m slowly bringing them down. I’m doing my revenge. And being Daniella’s fiancée is one of my revenge. I planned to have an engagement with her, and then after that I will dump her. Her father was happy to get us engaged but the truth is that was just one of my plans. he thought, when we get married he will be a big part of the company. But not. They use me, I use them more. If they fool me, I fool them more. If they knock me down, I knock them down more. “He held my hand tightly.
“But then you came, Nathania. I wanted to end all the devilish plans I had before because of you. I can’t see you being mad at me just because I’m doing this. I’m very sorry. I promise, I’ll come back Let’s go to Manila, I will finish everything. I will finish everything. no sin will happen to Daniella because that will never happen. I don’t love her. I lied to her. I don’t really love her. I will finish my revenge on her. I love you Nathania and I don’t want you to get involved in my mess. Please, forgive me for lying to you. i hope you’ll understand me. ”
