Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Storm POV

I don't know why Bea is doing this thing, I've asked her to leave several times but she doesn't want to. I couldn't avoid not having a breakdown in front of her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked me.

"I just thought of someone like you," I answered her.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Because you are both stubborn but you two also have a lot of differences because he is prettier than you and more classy," I said.

"Are you insulting me? Even though I didn't grow up in a luxurious life, I dress well," she grumbled.

I laughed because of what she said. "I didn't say that you are not wearing a better dress," I said.

"But that's what you want to say! Anyway, who is that person? I think it's not Kiara,"

"She's someone in the past," I answered her briefly.

I saw the masculinity in her eyes. "Someone? Someone handled your behavior for a long time?"

"That thing isn't surprising, Bea, there are many girls who like me, so it's not unlikely that there are people in my past who have been with me," I smirked.

"I know! That's why I wonder about the women who fall for you, what they like about someone like you, you're so arrogant,"

"Maybe I'm too good in bed. I can bring them to heaven in a minute." I smirked again at her.

She immediately threw a pillow near her at me. "Pervert!"

"Why? You asked and I answered it right?" I said while laughing.

"That's not the answer to my question! You're just collecting women."

"I hate commitments Bea and from the very beginning, I explained that thing to them. And it's not my fault if they want to throw their body at me." I said.

"You will also find someone you will love,"

"I don't believe in love anymore Bea, all I believe in is the love story of my aunts and uncles and most of all my parents," I said.

"You can't decide what will happen in the future." she insisted.

"I can, after she left without saying any words? After she chose herself over being with me, do you think I'll still believe in women? Never!" I said emphatically.

"It's just her, isn't it? Girls are not the same."

"I still don't trust women." I seriously said.

"What if she comes back and asks for your forgiveness?"

"I will never accept her anymore. We are done already. I gave her everything, especially all my love but what did she give me in return? She chose to leave. She knows what I've been through since I lost my parents. She promised that she would never leave me but she didn't stand by that. She helped me to stand up and fix myself but I didn't know that she was the one who would crush me again." I'm full of resentment.

"Your reason is valid but still not all women are like that,"

I just looked at her while continuing to clean, I don't understand this girl's attitude.

"Don't you plan to study again?" I asked her.

"I don't need that anymore, it's fine that I went to college for two years. Not everyone who graduates gets a job sometimes, even if you don't graduate, if you're hardworking, you can get a job,"

I couldn't help but be amused by what she said. This girl is different, so I won't be surprised why Kiara is close to her. My sister got Mom's habit of being quick to help other people.

"You can have your online class if you want right? Your salary is enough." I said.

"I can, but I don't want to anymore, I'm okay with my life. Besides, I don't want to lose time with my mother, especially now that she's not fully recovered. The important thing is that my life is happy and healthy,"

I smiled bitterly. It's good that she is happy in her life even if they are not rich, but not all rich people are happy in life.

"You?"

I looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is since you were young you are already rich, how is your life?"

"It's fun especially when I'm with my Dad and Mom." my short answer.

"No offense Sir, what was the reason for their death? It's okay if you don't want to answer."

"They both died in a car accident when they will be celebrating their wedding anniversary. If only I had known that would be the last day I would see them alive, I would have told them how thankful I am that they became my parents, even though the beginning of their relationship was not good and they got separated before but they got back together,  they made me feel so much love. M-my heart shattered into pieces when I heard that they were gone. I felt like I suddenly became deaf and blinded," I answered sadly, I saw her approaching me and sitting beside me.

"But you did a great job Storm, you survive and continue your life, and most of all you've become a good son and a brother. Everyone in our lives will have their last day in this world and last day with us. We don't even know when it will be. So don't take them for granted, not even for a second." I said softly.

"And I believe that you did that to your parents. You've become their happiness since you came into their lives. You gave light to their dark world." she added.

I just smiled because of what she said. Somehow the weight in my chest was reduced because I was able to release my resentment. I didn't do it in front of my sister because I didn't want her to be hurt when she saw me suffering.
