"Eight years passed, his hands are still crawling Coleen."
It feels like yesterday when I got raped, forced into marriage, and got pregnant.
"What if I'll try to suggest Rhysand once again?"
"I blame him, Coleen. That's what I am guilty for. Don't force me again. Enough is enough."
"Okay, thank goodness waiter! Your timing is so perfect! I will rate Keens Stakehouse, five stars!"
"Enjoy my ladies."
Huh....steak. Siguro hindi naman ako masasaktan kung ito ang kakainin ko. Siguro mas mabuiting lumayo na rin ako. What is he thinking?!
Is he trying to mend the past? Is he trying to act like nothing happened between us?
"Hey! Wipe your damn tears, stop crying for gosh!!!"
"Sorry, I'm not sorry!" I say while looking at Coleen slicing her stake.
Ngunguya lang naman ang kailangan kong gawin eh? Pero bakit sa bawat pag angat ko ng aking ulo ay si Rhysand ang nakikita kong nakaupo sa harapan ko ngayon.
Am I guilty for not touching the same dish that he ordered a while ago?
Or I am just guilty because I lied to Coleen about not having steak for a very long time?
Leche naman, ang hirap ng ganito. Bakit ngayong umayos na ang kalagayan ko, ngayon pa nagkapakita si Rhysand.
Mas gugustuhin ko pa sigurong magkita kami noong mga araw na sobra ang galit ko sa kanya. At least, I can blame him wholly. May rason para itaboy ko siya ng buong buo.
"Did Kyno touch you again?"
I shake my head while wiping my tears. It's so hard to contain my tears while I am crying my guts out.
I can't . . . Until now, I still curse my mother for tying me to that monster. My mother's wealth weighs more than her daughter's dignity. She chose to save her face by tying me to Kyno who forced me. Who fucking . . . forced me.
My mother is angry. Everyone is angry but how come that they forced me again to do something that I don't want? Mas gugustuhin ko pang iwan nalang sila. I am nothing. I'll end it. Now and then.
"Good, or else I will drag you out there." Coleen nodded.
"We're sleeping in different rooms, Coleen. My gun is always with me."
"Just remember Hades, Jeacela. He is still young to witness horrible things."
"Ahuh . . . I'll take note of that."
She doesn't know. No . . . everyone. Lahat sila'y walang kaalam-alam na kinamumuhian ko si Hades.
Hindi ko mapigilan eh. Kasi pati na ang ugali at ang kanyang mukha'y gayang gaya ang kanyang ama.
I smile and hold my breath. "Take care of him Coleen . . ." as I exhale, I finally understand my nightmares every night.
It is my sign to end my life . . .
