CHAPTER
Mia’s pov
Mia was sitting in her room. She was looking at the papers in her hands. It was the legal documents of her orphanage. She can't believe. She really can't believe that she's really going to take that step. She's really going to give up.
She has gone through more serious and dangerous circumstances in the past after her family's death, but what now? She can't believe that God has made her so helpless. So vulnerable.
She can't even do something to save both and her dignity and her brother's orphanage. She's helpless. She has to choose one of them but both me and everything to her. But now she’s feeling like she's standing between a valley and a deep-sea.
Both of the choices will save her from one thing but will ruin her from other. How ironic is this. How she used to live without having any problems but now everything had destroyed. Everything is destroyed and now her dignity or her brother only memory gonna get destroy.
How pitiful she is? And how devilish he is? She helped him and saved him, but what he did? Always degrade her. And now asking her to come to her own funeral. Is this how she deserves to get repaid by saving him. Is this what she's getting by giving him. His almost lost life.
She doesn't regret saving him. She never did. The only regret she has was. She met him in the first place. Only if he wasn't here maybe just maybe it wouldn't so hard for her to let her brothers orphanage go. But what now?
She's confused. He made her confused. Miserable. Devastated. She doesn't know what to do. If she chose her dignity she felt like betraying her brother and being selfish.
But if she chose her brothers orphanage. She felt losing herself. Disgusted and scared to even think of him. The person who she doesn't love touching her. Hell she doesn't even like him in that way.
She sighed and closed the documents."Forgive me brother. Your sister has to do this or I will never be able to live. I am sorry," She wiped her tears and stood up.
Meanwhile
Calex Pov
I sighed standing in front of the door of her house. Kent is really digging his own grave. I don't want him to regret afterward but I can't stop him anymore. He's the one who wants to regret then let him be.
I straightened myself hearing the voice of door opening. I was stunned to see the girl. She wasn't looking like the first time I have seen her. She was looking like she was crying for God knows how long.
I cleared my throat, "Hello Ms. Vargas. I am Calex. Mr. Montero has—." Before I could complete my words she interrupted me. "No need to tell me. I already know,” she said in emotionless tone."So. Are you. I mean—".
"No," I was stunned to hear her. I couldn't believe my ears. She is really denying this offer. "Are you sure? I mean you know Kent, One way or other he always gets what he wants. And this time he's giving you something that you're in need of,"
She completely ignored my words "Can you do me a favor?" She said making me frown but still I nodded. I don't know what she's planning to ask but I hope it's something that I could give her.
Kent was waiting patiently for Calex to come. He immediately looked at the door when it cracked open. Kent's expressions fell a little hearing Calex's sigh.
Somehow he had a confidant that she wouldn't let his offer down. Because she's really in need of it right now and he also aware of the fact that he's taking advantage of her miserable situation.
"Well," Kent broke the silence and asked Calex." She said no.I even tried to convince her but she declined to come with me here." Calex's reply made Kent clenched his jaw and fists. He can't believe she once again rejected him. His golden offer.
In anger he took the vase on the table and broke it."That girl! What is it that she wants? Why can't she understand? Just why can't she accept me? It's not like I am asking something new from her. If she can give herself to others so easily then why not me. Why?!"
He picked the table and broke it in anger. Calex didn't flinch. He already knew Kent's temper. Kent is really of short temper man. He doesn't hurt others in anger but himself.
Without thinking twice he walked out of his office and went to her house. He reached her house and started to bang it.
"Open it! I said open this freaking door, Mia Vargas!" But no response came.
He kicked the door and banged it in anger many times but he got no response not even a slightest voice was heard.
This time it wasn't his ego but it was his heart that was on fire. He just can't believe why she kept on rejecting him. If she can give herself to others and not him. It's not like he's asking this in free.
After a while of banging and letting his anger out he came back to his house. He slammed the door of his bedroom and plopped on the bed. He banged his hands on the bed multiple times.
Meanwhile
Mia was sitting staring at the grave in front of her. She placed the flowers on the grave and took a deep breath. "Look! brother your favorite flowers lily," She softly caressed her brothers grave and gulped trying to control her tears. She can't cry because her brother never liked to see her cry.
"Your sister isn't that strong to handle all of this. All of this problems alone brother. How much. How much I wanted you to be here? Why you left me? Why?" At last, she broke down. Tears started to stream down like a pool. She held her chest trying not to stop her breathing.
After a while of trying crying and wishing her brothers embrace in which she used to cry her problems out. She stood and once again looked at the grave.
"I am sorry brother. Please forgive me." It was dark. Night has fallen but no one knows that.
In Mia's life. There wasn't any light the day her parents left her.
How can a person get afraid of the dark when the darkness is the only thing she has in her.
"Come in," Kent said when a maid knocked on his door. He looked at her blankly. She shuddered seeing no emotions yet scary look in his eyes.
"S-sir. Your guest is here," Kent frowned hearing his maids words. "Guest?" Maid nodded while gulping.
"Yes sir, She said you have invited her." He stood up with a confused face and went to the living room.
He had no idea who he had invited. He reached the living room but then his steps froze when he saw the back of the person. No one could recognize her they way she was standing but he did.
He could even recognize her while blindfolded.
"Mia," A whisper left from his lips but it was audible for the poor girl to listen. She gulped before turning to face her soon to be destroyer.
Snatcher of her dignity.
Manipulator of her mind.
Killer of her soul.
"Princess, So you came?" A small smirk appeared on his lips. He felt triumph. He felt the confidence that he lost when Calex informed him that she didn't came that confidence came back. No! He got overwhelmed with confident, victory and happiness.
For him. Her fragile figure was not noticeable. The only thing that he was thinking or he was kept on repeating, was.
Now he can have her. Have her in any way he wants.
Finally, the madness to have her. He can fulfill it.
But little did he know that for her he's going to be only her destroyer. Her tormentor.
Forgiving mistakes isn't hard but even thinking of forgiving your sinner, your soul is not even possible.
