Chapter 71
So whoever killed my Daddy he will pay. He did not know what hardship we went through when we lost the person we were with. And now that I am stronger than ever I am no longer afraid to face whatever danger he may prepare for me.
Speaking of danger, I’ve seen Xyleus following behind me before but I don’t notice that I see him. Damn that asshole, what else does he need from me?
I just kept walking to the hotel where my daughter Darxelle and I were staying. If you”re wondering why I didn’t use the car my car ran out of fuel. Jose, my driver who was blessed for being slow, was a taxman. I told him that when he checked to see if the car had enough fuel, he did not comply. Sometimes I wanted to fire him but I knew he needed the money so he could treat his wife.
I bought my son snacks because he was hungry. There were snacks served at the hotel but I don’t trust that. Maybe later it turned out to be poisonous that the opposing group of ours had put in it.
I left him with Diamond who had just arrived. She was trustworthy so I took care of Darxelle first. Just try to betray me he will taste hell. I love my son dearly and I will kill for him.
I’ve been holding back on Xyleus before but I’m still not investigating him. That man was crazy! Will he even ruin my vacation here in Baguio? That huwakab was annoying!
When I could no longer control my annoyance I turned to look behind me. I caught a glimpse of Xyleus who was still whistling as he placed both hands in his pants pocket. He was also hooded but that was not on his head. Am I saying that and that’s him!
“What! were you still going to bother me here in Baguio? were you really annoying me ?!” I asked with a frown and a disgusted tone in my voice.
He grinned and came a little closer to me. “Why? was it bad to go here in Baguio? I just want to go on vacation.” he said and ignored what I said.
I laughed heartily. was he okay with that excuse? I’m incredible! “You? Going on vacation? Asa! You only know about work. You know, if you follow me here because I’m with Darxelle, you’ll stop there. You thought I’d really introduce you to my son. Be strong there! He will never know and see you! ” I gasped after I said those words. Damn! I would have had a great vacation if only no asungot had come!
He touched both her ears and grinned. Bwiset and Xyleus!
“Don’t shout, Darlyn. Let’s just face each other.” naiiling na aniya.
“You don’t have a pake! I want to shout! Why? Am I you? Ha? You’re the one who controls my mouth? Damn! Get out of my sight and don’t show up again!” I was so annoyed that I shouted out loud. People were already looking at me but I don’t care. I’m just beautiful!
Xyleus just laughed at me while still shaking. What does he want ?! He has already kissed me and almost had something to do with my miracle and then he will disturb me ?!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“I just want to see my daughter, sweetheart. What’s wrong with that?” his laughter disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.
“Daughter? Sweetheart? Lul you, Xyleus! Don’t even call us that my son!” I shouted.
I saw that the people watching us were shaking. Darn! What do they care if Xyleus and I talk like this? They were not the owners of Baguio!
“Oh, he only has LQ those kids.”
“LQ? What’s that, Mare?”
‘that’s what you call it when couples and lovers quarrel. Look, Mare. Soon they’ll greet each other as well. That Mister woman was just a little tender.”
“Yeah what! was that a handsome young man of his.”
I was bored with myself. was it Xyleus? Handsome? Eww! He”s not even at the fingertips of my Hollywood crushes! Over my dead gorgeous body, I will not admit that he was handsome!
“Why don’t you just imitate them, sweetheart? They keep on saying that I’m handsome. Instead of you continuing to bear fruit there.” he said smiling and I was just surprised when he turned me to hug him.
I struggled with him but he tightened his grip on me. If only there weren’t people watching I might have hurt him already!
“What do you really want, Xyleus?” I whispered emphatically to him.
He turned to me and smiled. “I want you and our daughter, sweetheart …” and after that he winked at me.
Andrea’s POV
I was stopped from walking out of the coffee shop when I heard his voice. This was the start, I guess.
“What were you doing here, Rigella?” Lara asked in a disgusted voice. She was now standing in front of me and I saw her wearing sunglasses. For maybe people don’t recognize him? I don’t know but it’s possible.
I turned to him with a sweet smile on my lips. He’s with Ivan and they’re probably talking with Ivan’s lawyer to get the DLC back in his hands. But he didn’t have to work hard to get it either. I will intentionally and whole-heartedly give it back to him.
Lara’s stare at me was evil and I could also see the weeping of her mouth. I don’t really know why he was so mad at me. As far as I can remember, I didn’t do anything bad on her. I didn’t harm her or something even if I wanted to.
Or possibly, she’s still insecure at me. She has disappeared from the bottom line of the fashion industry since I handled SCC. Well, too bad for her because I’m a better designer than her. I know more designing tactics than he does. I’m more expert than her when it comes on fashion designing.
“Oh, Lara. What were you doing here?” I even pretended to be surprised and tightened my grip on the blue folder I was holding. It’s not just a simple folder because it will release his stench.
“I’m the one who asked you first, Rigella. What were you doing here? You’re back here in the Philippines.” he asked emphatically and his eyebrows almost met.
“Uhm, I’m here because … I drank some coffee and ate a slice of cake? This was a coffee shop, right?” I grinned as I enjoyed looking at his expression. All right, Lara. You will be angry because you will feel intense fear later when I have revealed your secrets.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people here in the coffee shop. Edi will have more audience later for Ren’s show. Damn! This was so exciting!
“were you playing dumb on me?” his eyes glazed over and I could see the anger on his face. This girl was really a psycho.
I lost my grin and looked at him seriously. You don’t just act like that in front of Andrea Steinfields, Lara Santillan.
“Yes, I do. And hey, I missed that attitude of yours. The rudeness of your behavior has never really taken place.” I looked at him from head to toe and smiled again. I’m still better than her. From head to toe. I’m even higher with him. I wonder why Ivan loved her.
He suddenly removed his shades and threw them somewhere. That made the people here in the coffee shop look at us. Did he always really like the scene? But at least this flirt was an actor.
“Why did you come back, huh ?! You left then and then you came back again ?! Why ?! For what reason ?! For Ivan again ?! Can’t you just move on and get a life ?!” he shouted and I heard sighs and whispers around.
My face darkened because of what he said. The words that came out of his mouth insulted me too much. If maybe I was still the former Rigella then maybe that’s the reason for my return. But, no! I changed. I am no longer what I used to be because they killed you with the disease a long time ago. I’m numb now.
“Lara, stop making a scene.” I just blinked when I saw Ivan behind Lara. I thought he had left because I saw him come out of the coffee shop earlier.
Our gazes met and there in his eyes I saw the emotion symbolizing loneliness and pain. We haven’t seen each other for a week but I’ve noticed changes in her. He was slightly thinner and his beard had grown. Did he abandon himself?
I don’t know but I”m a little sorry to think that. The thought of him, suffering for the past few days was making my heart rip apart. Shit, I haven’t felt this way in a long time but I put up with it.
“No! Look at her, Ivan! She’s back!” Lara was still stabbing me so I gasped. Isn’t he ashamed of the crowd now? Tsk, how pathetic can she get?
“I already know about that. Just please, stop making a scene and let’s just leave this place.” Ivan tried to pull Lara’s arm but Lara immediately pushed his hand away. What a bitch.
“You already know? And you didn’t even bother to tell me ?!” Lara asked Ivan angrily.
I just folded my arms as I stared at them. Why did Ren last? He must have been here earlier. If I hadn’t found a way, Lara and Ivan might have left earlier and we might not have been able to carry out our plan.
“What’s the use of telling it to you? Just please, let’s leave this place.” Ivan whispered to Lara and this time he grabbed her arm.
