Playing With Seduction

Chapter Eight

BRYCE

I didn't wait for Vito to get out of wherever the hell he was. I hurried home with my mother's phone with me. I cried non-stop as I drove home, imagining what they could've possibly done in the very same room where he almost took me.

I marched out of my car and into the house. Nakikipaglaro si Ate kay Pixie nang makapasok ako sa living room. Her attention was quickly diverted to me when I walked in.

"Bryce, are you okay?" She worriedly asked.

"Where's Mom?" I tried hard to keep my voice from quivering.

"She and Dad are upstairs. May problema ba?"

"Nothing." I shook my head and began marching toward the stairs. I didn't want to get Ate involved yet. Nangako ako kay Dad na kami lang ang makakaalam ng pagtataksil ni Valerie. He was probably ashamed that his wife was cuckolding him and he couldn't do a damn about it.

"Bryce, we're leaving later. Ayusin mo na ang mga gamit mo. Don't make us wait on you again." I heard Ate Anais said as I stomped my way up the stairs. 

I went straight to Mom and Dad's room and banged my fists on their door. Within seconds, the door swung open and Dad stood in front of me. 

His brows were crumpled as he looked at me. "What are you doing? Kulang na lang gibain mo itong pinto."

"Where's your wife?" I almost roared.

"Your mother's in the shower." He said, emphasizing the word mother as he squinted his eyes at me. "What is your problem?"

"What? He didn't want you to smell Vito on her." I could literally feel smoke coming out of my nose as I huffed. I took out the phone I found at Vito's house. "This is your wife's phone. Do you want to guess where I found it?"

Hindi kumibo si Dad. I watched as his jaw clenched and his body stiffened. 

"Under Vito's pillow." I chuckled. 

"Ano'ng ginagawa mo sa bahay ni Vito?" He asked in a dark tone. 

Shit. I cussed to myself. I should've thought of an excuse before I went to Dad. What was I supposed to say? I'd jacked off Vito in the same couch he probably fucked my mother.

"I... I was looking for Mom." I stammered a bit but regained my composure. "And then I saw her phone."

"I found your Mom at the stables, riding her horse. Stop this already, Bryce. Nothing happened between them. Trust me, I would know if she's been with another man. We just... we just made love, okay? I would know." 

Dad's confession made my stomach somersault. Ew! That was a detail I didn't want to know. I tried to ignore what he said and focused on the evidence. "Well, how do you explain this? Paano mapupunta kay Vito ito?"

"I don't know. I just want to get through this. This vacation has been a real hell and I just want to leave this behind. Aalis na tayo. I don't care what about whatever happened between them and I don't think I want to know." Dad's eyes lowered to his feet as if in shame. 

"You're pathetic." I shook my head.

The door to their bathroom opened and Mom came out in her pink silk robe. "Hon, have you seen my--" Her eyes quickly darted to me and she smiled. "Oh Bryce, what do you need? Nakapag-ayos ka na ba ng gamit mo? Need me to help  you?"

"No." I mumbled. My eyes went back to Dad and he looked at me as if pleading not to say anything that could possibly hurt his beloved's feelings. I bit my inner cheek.
