Destructing The Flame's Deception

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Lie. My whole life has been a lie ever since I was born. I don't understand why people often deceive me, to make me a fool. Why? Is it fun to fool me? Are they happy for seeing me look like a stupid while believing them even if they were already betraying me?

As I remember all what happened to me before, it makes my blood boil. Padabog kong hinampas ang lamesa, dahilan para mapatingin sa akin ang nakahigang si Silas.

I glared at him, fuming mad.

What? Is it fun to see me miserable? Did he have fun cheating on me while we were in a relationship? Is it fun to see me crying every night, doubting myself?

All I can say is life is unfair. Just look at Silas and what has happened to him. Now, I have no choice but to take care of him, be there by his side always— despite the betrayal he has made before, despite the fact that he hurt me big time, and to pretend to love him even if I don't anymore.

"He can already go home. If something came up that triggered him, please bring him here immediately. And Oceana, take care of him." Kuya Alas told me.

Tumango lang ako. Nakaupo si Silas sa wheelchair habang nakatingin lang sa paligid, pinagmamasdan ang buong kalawakan. Wala sa sarili ko naman siyang inirapan.

I don't want to say that he deserves what happened to him because I got involved in his life again because of his condition.

Ang malas ko lang talaga sa buhay.

I saw Tiana at the hospital parking lot. Nakatingin lang siya sa amin. She gently smiles while looking at Silas from afar.

I smirked. You both don't deserve to be happy with each other's arms, after all what you did to me.

Tama lang na nasasaktan ngayon si Tiana. Bakit? Do they think that I didn't get hurt when they made me a fool? But, Tiana is innocent here that's why I still have a bit of pity for her. But even if so…

"Be good to him, Oceana." bilin sa'kin ni Kuya Alas.

"Oo na nga, paulit ulit." naiirita kong sambit sa kanya.

He sighed. "I'm so sorry. I will handle all the things and make sure that this won't show in public."

"Speaking of!" I cut him. "Someone might be following me right now, might be a paparazzi or whatever. Ikaw nalang ang bahala." aniya ko.

Tumango siya. "Don't worry, it's on me."

"If anything backfires, I will stop this deal immediately." 

"Of course. That's part of the agreement." Kuya Alas assured me.

Matapos makasakay ni Silas sa kotse ko, agad na din akong sumakay at sinabihan ang driver niya na sa condo ni Silas niya kami dalhin. Nang makarating sa condo, agad kaming pumasok doon.

Suddenly, all of our memories here in his condo… came back to my mind again.

— 

What a bitter life. That's all that I think while sipping on my wine. Earlier, I just found out that me and kuya Dylan were adopted. I can't accept it. No, I will never accept this.

They hid this from us and didn't even bother to tell us who our real parents were. What they are doing in life, why did they give to other people? Are they alive? What's their occupation?

I have so many questions in life. I just cried it out loud. I want to know who our real parents are and why they abandoned us.

I'm not even thankful that the Caiazzo family adopted us. Yes, they gave us money and all our needs and expenses, but our life with them was really miserable.
