Chapter 93: Chapter 93
Nigel POV
After hugging my son, they immediately left. I know that Storm is still mad at me. I can't blame him because it was all my fault. I know he was hurt too much because of what happened to his sister. I have no excuse for that.
When his car completely disappeared from my sight, I immediately went inside the house. I know that my parents were waiting for me. I know they're mad at me right now and it's okay because even I hate myself.
"Mom, Dad," I said.
I was surprised when my father suddenly punched me so I sat on the floor, Mom quickly stood up. "Dark, what the hell! That's your son!"
"I know that's my son Calli and I will never tolerate his wrong actions!" Dad said angrily.
Mom approached me and helped me to sit. "I'm sorry," I said.
"You think your sorry will do anything?" Dad said.
"I know Dad, I know sorry isn't enough for the stupidity I did," I said.
"Where have we failed Nigel? Have we not been good parents to you?" Mom asked.
I immediately shook my head and bowed. "It's not like that mom. I'm the one who's at fault here," I said.
"Then why? Why did you do this thing? You know how precious Kiara is to us, that's the daughter of your Uncle Thunder and Aunt Jewel! You didn't just hurt her but Storm as well! You know what they both went through and I can't accept what you did, out of so many people, why you? Why would my son hurt them? Now tell me! Where did I fall short like your mother, Nigel?" I bowed down because I couldn't see my mother hurt because of me.
"I-I didn't think you could leave Kiara so quickly. You promised Storm that you wouldn't hurt his sister. How many times have I told you that no relationship is perfect because even your father and I fight too? You're the man, I hope you didn't let your emotions control you!" she added while crying.
"I don't know you anymore Nigel, I don't know if you're still my son. You hide everything from us! You didn't tell me about what happened to you and Kiara! How many years have passed but you haven't even mentioned anything to us! Of all the people in this world who can hurt Storm and Kiara, why is it to be my own son? Did you see how Storm is hurting earlier? He is your best friend! You inflicted too much pain on him. And most of all you abandoned your fiance and son!" Daddy shouted angrily. I know he is controlling himself not to punch me again.
"M-mom, D-dad I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to, please forgive me. I didn't know Kiara was pregnant, if I had known I wouldn't have hurt her and pushed her away." I said while crying.
"Whether she is pregnant or not you have no right to hurt her Nigel! You disrespect your Uncle Thunder and Aunt Jewel by hurting their son and daughter!" Dad shouted again.
"Do you think Kiara will still accept you?" Mom said.
"Mom, Dad, please let me correct my mistakes. I will do everything so that she can forgive me and accept me. I know it won't be easy but I can do it because I love her," I said.
"You love her? I don't think so Nigel, because the person who truly loves knows how to listen. If you love Kiara you won't be able to hurt her and turn your back on her, if you love her you will trust and fight for her." Dad said,
"Dad, I was just hurt, I was just led by my emotions. I love Kiara very much. What I did to her also hurts me, I understand your anger towards me because I am also angry with myself. I- I don't want to hurt the woman I love, I don't want to leave her, but I'm hurting too." I said weakly.
"You jumped to conclusions just because of the pictures you saw and you didn't even ask her or let her explain? You didn't give her a chance to defend herself? Are you that stupid? You believe the person who sent you more than your fiance who you've known and been with for years!" mom said while crying. "Instead of talking to Kiara and fixing your problem, what you did was different Nigel! You avenged her! Are you for real Nigel? As a mother, it's painful for me to know what you did," Mom said.
"What if the police didn't save her? Do you think Storm will forgive you? Do you think you can sleep at night? Kiara suffered too much trauma and it's all because of you, it's because of my son!" Dad said and I saw him cry. "You abandoned your fiance and son! You let Kiara suffer because of your negligence Nigel! You owe Storm so much because he took the place that you should have done, he is the one who raised your son! I can't imagine how hard it is for him to see his sister in that state. So I won't be surprised why your best friend hates you and you deserve it!" Dad said, I could feel the anger in my father's voice.
"I'm so disappointed in you Nigel. If I had to choose, I wouldn't accept you as my son because of your stupidity. I'm ashamed to know that you are a Monteverde!" he added and stood up and left us.
I bowed even more and started crying because of the last thing Dad said, I admit that I was hurt by what he said but I have no right to feel bad for him because I was the one at fault.
"MY-mom I'm sorry. I'm so-sorry," I said weakly.
I felt her holding me aside even though she was still crying. "Honestly I'm mad at you, as a mother no one will tolerate their child doing a wrong thing. You made a mistake, that's why we're mad at you, you can't blame your dad for acting like that, Kiara's parents are very special to us. Your aunt Jewel is my best friend and your uncle Thunder is your Dad's best friend so it hurts for us that our son hurt their children. They both did a lot in our lives so it's hard to accept what you did. But I can't give up on you, especially in this situation, even if I feel bad for you,"
"Mom I'm sorry, I know that I hurt not only Kiara and Storm but also you and Dad. I have no one to blame because I did this thing and I should face the consequences of my actions. I promise you that I will correct this mistake and I will do everything to build my family, even if Kiara tortures me it's okay because I know if she went through worse, I am not there when she needs me, I abandoned her,"
"Learn from your mistakes son, do everything to get your family back. I believe that Kiara loves you but that doesn't mean that she will forgive you right away because that thing is not easy for her,"
"I know mom, I will face the punishment she will give me. I will not stop until she forgives me. I will also apologize to Storm because like Dad said I owe him a lot, he takes care of Kiara and I know he's in a lot of pain also." I said.
"Where were you when you said you needed to fix something? Did you go on vacation?" Mom asked me.
"Since Kiara and I broke up, I feel like I'm not complete anymore. While I'm pushing her away, I'm in a lot of pain. I've become selfish, I'm always locking myself in the condo and drinking." I said.
"We know that stuff Nigel,"
I looked at him. "H-how?" I ask.
"Your cousin told us while we were on vacation, I thought you were just stressed at work because she didn't tell us anything, we didn't know what you were going through. I wish you told us so we can help you,"
"I was the one who told her not to tell you, mom, I was afraid of what might happen. After a few months, I decided to fix myself and started working in the company again because Dad might find out what I am doing." I said.
"Then what did you do?"
"Until one day I decided to talk to Kiara but I couldn't find her anymore. I found out that she and Storm left but no one knew where they were, I tried to hire a professional investigator but I didn't know that Storm was blocking them and paying them double. I also went to several countries just to find Kiara but in the year that passed I didn't get anything. I feel so frustrated during that time, I feel like I'm going crazy Mom." I added.
"Next time Nigel tell us when there is a situation like this because we know if you need us more,"
"I'm sorry mom," I said softly and felt her tight hug on me.
