I saw how his eyes flared with pure, hot fury as he looked at Raven. I shook like a leaf while hugging Arthur in my arms.
"Mommy, what's happening?" Arthur innocently asked, oblivious of what was happening around him. "Why are there a lot of people?"
"Audrey..." I flinched when I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned and saw Mama, she pulled me to her.
"Audrey, Arthur..." Callum's voice croaked with tears. He took a step towards me and the men aimed their guns closer to him. He paused.
"Audrey, let's go..." Nanginginig ang boses na sabi ni Mama. "Your Dad will take care of everything."
"Ipasok niyo si Arthur, Drey. Sumama kayo sa Mama mo." Dad protectively stood in front of us. Hindi agad ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko.
"Drey, didn't you hear what I just said? Pumasok kayo ni Arthur sa loob!" Dad growled.
I took in a deep breath and handed my son to Mama. "Ma, take Arthur inside."
"Audrey..." She worriedly said.
"I want to watch." I firmly said as I looked at Callum straight in the eyes.
Dad turned his head to look at me and I looked at him. He knew. He knew I wanted to see them be taken away. Gusto kong makita sila na magbayad sa kahayupang ginawa nila sa akin. I was treated worse than an animal. Hindi ko alam na ang lalaking nakakasama ko araw-araw, ang lalaking pinakasalan ko, ang lalaking minahal ko ang gumawa sa akin ng kawalanghiyaang iyon. I wanted to see him pay. Wala akong maramdaman na kahit katiting na pagmamahal para kay Callum. I just wanted him to pay for everything that he did to me.
"Cass, ipasok mo na si Arthur. Ako na ang bahala dito." He told Mama.
Mama quickly took Arthur from me and they were assisted in by some of Dad's men.
"Did you fucking think I was that stupid to fully trust you with my daughter and Arthur. Nagsimula na akong maghinala simula ng tumawag sa'yo ang kidnapper. I had your calls monitored and recorded. Lahat ng galaw mo pinabantayan ko. I had you investigated and found out that you didn't mention to us about your family. You share a mother with one of the people I regret ever meeting in my life. I needed evidence, I can't just point fingers at people, but you were very careful these past few days. Hindi mo alam kung anong pagpipigil ang ginawa ko para hindi ka mapatay sa tuwing nakikita kita. Nakaramdam ka na ba na naghihinala na ako sa'yo? Thank your friend here for selling you out." Sabi ni Dad.
"Fuck you, Cordova!" Raven shouted. "You did this! Ikaw ang may kasalanan kung bakit nangyari yun sa anak mo! Si Audrey ang kabayaran sa lahat ng kahayupan mo!"
"You son of a bitch!" Dad charged at him, wrapping his fingers around his neck. He raised his fist and punched him square on the jaw. "Ano bang kasalanan ko sa inyo at pati ang anak ko dinamay niyo? Sana ako na lang!"
Raven just let out a laugh as blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth. "AKO! Ako ang kasalanan mo sa kanila! I'm your son! Ako ang anak na hindi mo pinanagutan kay Tiffany Garcia! You made my mother a mistress and when you were done with her, tinapon mo siya na parang basura. Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit nabaliw siya!"
I took in a sharp breath. Dad just stood there, motionless, for a few seconds.
"I guess we can call it quits now, Cordova. You have a son in our family and I have a son in yours." Callum's voice was cold and without emotion.
I wept even harder at what he said. It felt even worse hearing it from him. Hearing those words from the man I gave my full trust to and loved. He was the one who ruined me and then he walked into my life acting like my knight in shining armor. I let him into my life and my family's.
