Prison of Lies (Partners in Crime Book 2)

Chapter 9

"It's okay Sid. Don't mind me.. I can't lose the company. I'll try everything that I can do. Malaki ang kutob ko na ang investor na yun ay magiging competitor ko."

Caleb and I needs to talk. Kailangan ko na din makita ang anak ko. Is this his way of revenge? To hurt the people I love. Hihintayin ko pa bang pati ang pamilya ko sa London ay madamay. I'm starting to get crazy. Mas malala pa pala siya kesa sa inaasahan ko.

Did I really turned him into this?!

"Is there anything that I can help Vixen?" Ano nga ba ang dapat kong gawin para lang tumigil si Caleb? Para hindi na madamay si Vixen dito. Caleb is only getting started. Pinag lalaruan na niya kami.

"Just take care of your self for me. In that case, kahit malayo ka. I know you're doing fine kahit hindi kita naalagaan."

I was just wondering, bakit hindi pa nag sisimula ang kaso? And why does it feels like, ayaw niyang padaanin ang lahat sa korte? I think mas gusto niyang parusahan ako at angkinin ang anak ko sa sarili niyang paraan.

And that scares me.

Margaux POV

He haven't eaten for the last three days. I'm worried dahil puro dextrose pa lang ang nag bibigay nga nutrients sa kanya. I decided to take him sa garden para makalanghap siya ng sariwang hangin.

"Look, I cooked something for you. I also made a salmon steak aside from salad."

But he didn't response. Tulala lang itong nakatingin sa malayo. He's still in a wheelchair dahil hindi pa tapos ang mga therapy niya para tuluyan na siyang makalakad. I sliced some portion of salmon para isubo sa kanya.

"C'mon, you have to eat. Masarap yan."

Pinilit kong ilapit sa bibig niya ang pagkain pero nanatili siyang walang kibo. Mahaba na ang buhok niya and he also has a beard. He really needs a haircut pag nakalabas na siya sa hospital.

"I know this is your favorite. You must try this."

For the third times ay inilapit ko sa bibig niya ang tinidor. I tried to smile kahit nasasaktan ako sa kinikilos niya. Why did she left him? Lagi siyang tulala at gusto laging mapag isa. I can feel his heartaches. Walang araw na hindi siya umiyak at kung minsan ay basta na lang siya mag wawala.

"Diba sabi ko ayokong kumain!!!!"

He slapped my hand away kaya natapon ang tinidor na hawak ko.There my tears starts to fall. Nandito pa naman ako para sa kanya. His voice frightens me.

"Just go away!!! I don't need you!!!!! Mind your own f*cking business!!!"

I only looked down and cried. He even hates me. Sana ma-realize niya that the world doesn't stops. I'm still here at hindi niya ko kailangan idamay sa galit at puot niya.

"Please don't do this Caleb. You deserved to live and be happy again. All you need to do is to move-on."

I wiped my tears but it still did't stop from falling. I will never give him up. Ipapakita ko sa kanya na masarap parin mabuhay kahit wala si Sidney.

"You should have just kill me! Hindi niyo lang sana ako hinayaang mabuhay!!!! This life is a hell!!!!"

There he starts crying. Dahan dahan kong hinaplos ang likod niya at unti unti siyang niyakap. Knowing that he's a tough man, it hurts to see him like this. Just because of a girl.

"Huuush. . .We're still here for you Caleb. Please don't close your heart. You can still be a better man. This is your second chance and it's not too late to change everything."
