Passionate and Ruthless

|38|

The whole room went silence as Luca revealed to Tia who was her father. She cannot hide it any more nor deny it, na gui-guilty na siya sa kanyang inosenteng anak. Luca knew how much Tia wants to have a Dad. Hindi lang niya iyon pina-pahalata sa kanya pero alam na alam niya ang anak niya.

They were now at Deckard's dining area to talk privately regarding this serious matter.

And she know get what Devika said many moon ago which was "Walang sekreto ang hindi mabubunyag".

"Wommy... I-is that r-really true?" Tia asked again na mukhang iiyak na at naguguluhan and faced Deckard. "Daddy, are you really my d-daddy?" Deckard felt her heart race. Tia was the second girl who could make her anxious and nervous when it comes to revealing secrets next to her mother, Luca.

"Just tell her already bud," Igor whispered while looking pettily at Tia while Ivann, her mom, and dad stayed silent like they respect his and Luca's decision whether they will tell Tia about his Father.

"We should leave them so they could talk privately. It their matter... Their family matter." Anunsyo ni Arkadi at ngumiti na sumang-ayon ang asawa nito na si Devina. "I agree with my husband. We should give them space. Let's go Ivann." sabi ni Devina at kinaladkad si Ivann na parang bata na kumapit kay Igor kaya't na kaladkad rin ito.

Igor and Ivann looked like a kid with Devina around, not some dangerous men who were born to kill people.

"You can tell her now Deckard." Sabi ni Luca habang hinwakan ang kamay ni Deckard na puno ng sensiridad. "I won't oppose it anymore."

Humarap si Deckard sa kanya at hinalikan siya sa noo. "Thank you, Kitten."

"Daddy, please answer me." Inip na pagkasabi ni Tia habang pinagkrus ang mga braso nito.

"Y-yes... Tia, I am your Father. Your REAL Father." Deckard said with sincerity and went to the chair his daughter sat and kneel in front of her so he could face her at the same height. "I know you are angry at me and confused because why did I show up just now when you are already five... But trust me if I knew your Wommy was pregnant, I would let go of every single thing that I would let go just to be with you and you Wommy..."

"Wommy h-hid m-me from y-you?" And boom, Tia was already crying and sobbing endlessly. Lucreszia was on her way to comfort Tia because she must've misunderstood the way why she hid her but Deckard carried her into his arms and sat together in a chair that made her heart warm.

Ah, Deckard... I never thought you could be a great Father.

"Hush baby, Wommy hid you for a reason and it is not her fault okay? I hurt Wommy while she's carrying you in her tummy and it was a really shitty mo-"

"Shitty? you are a shitty Daddy?" Tia cut his words off while glancing at him with his pure innocent green eyes that he got from him. Matalim rin siyang tinignan ni Luca dahil sa pagmura nito. She knows her daughter idolizes her Daddy so much that gagayahin niya ang mga katangian ng Daddy niya and Deckard really needs to be a responsible and good influence Daddy.

"N-no... Of course not! What I meant is that— is that I hurt your Wommy and I regretted it. I regret and felt guilty leaving the two of you alone and letting your wommy raise you alone when she is at her worst. Baby, you might not understand this matter since you are still five but I swear in my life that I will never leave the two of you alone kahit tatabuyin niyo na ako... Hindi na talaga ako aalis." The last part of Deckard's words made her think.

To be honest, hindi pa bumalik ang dating tiwala na binigay niya noon kay Deckard at marami pa siyang pinag o-overthink such as 'What if iiwan niya na naman kami?'.
