Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Twaine's Point of View :

"Mommy, I miss Daddy Kyle," my daughter said sadly. I approached her and hugged her. She has been like that for several months every time she comes home from school, every time she wakes up in the morning she has nothing else to say but her Dad.

I don't know either, but I haven't heard from Kyle either. It has been almost three months since he returned to the Philippines.

For the first few months he was still calling us, updating about what he's doing, but only after about a month he suddenly stopped contacting us.

I don't want to think that he forgot his promise to our daughter and to me, but it seems like that too. He told us that he'll going to comeback after a month but its been 3 months and yet he's not here.

"Ssshh, don't cry, Baby." I told my daughter who is now starting to cry. I don't know what else I can say to calm her down. I almost told her every possible reason why her Dad isn't yet coming back.

"Mommy, let's go back to the Philippines, please? I really miss my Dad." She pleaded. This is also the way I thought of, so that I can find out what happened to him.

Kyle's Point of View :

It's been 3 months since I left them. I left for a reason. I love Twaine so much that I thought of going home to prepare for our wedding. I wanted to marry her for the second time.

I miss her and my daughter very much, but I have to suffer for them first. I plan to propose to her when I return to Canada, I'm also planning to bring them home in the Philippines for our wedding.

Everything is in control and I really love the flow of this plan. My return to Canada is scheduled for next week.

I am now sitting in the swivelchair here in my office while holding a very beautiful customized ring that I prepared for her. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched it. I just think that I will wear it on Twaine's finger, I immediately felt much happiness . I wonder how happy she is the moment I propose to her.

"Sir Kyle, someone is looking for you," I stopped imagining after hearing my secretary.

"Who?" I asked her.

"Roxanne Santos." I suddenly stood up after I heard her name. It's been six years since I didn't hear anything from her.

"Kyle!" I didn't say what I wanted to say that she should not let her in because until now my anger against her still reigns. As long as Twaine and I don't get back together I can't forgive her. But its too late coz she's already here, calling my name.

"Who gave you permission to enter in my office, huh?" I asked her angrily.

"I've missed you so much, Kyle!" She didn't even answer my question, instead she immediately gave me a big hug.

"Roxanne!" I pushed her away in shock. What is she doing?

"Ouch! I just miss you, Kyle." She said. I felt guilty because I could see that she was really hurt when I pushed her away.

"I'm sorry for pushing you unintentionally," I said after I realized what I've did is wrong.

"It's alright," she forced a smile in response.

"What do you need?" I directly asked.

"Won't you just offer me a seat?" She laughed. She also immediately sat down in an empty seat. I was just shaken by what she did.

"Well, as what I've said earlier, I came here because I miss you. Its been six years, Kyle." She said while looking at me intently.

"Yeah, it's been six years since you ruined my life." I said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, I thought you already move on from that—"

"Do you think it's that easy?" I cut her words after hearing what she said.

"Kyle, I'm sorry, okay? I know I ruined your life and I've regretted it for a long time. Hopefully, you'll forgive me." She started crying as she said those words.

"Stop crying in front of me," I gently commanded her. But instead of stopping, she cried even louder.

"Did you hear me? Stop crying!" I was so annoyed that I shouted at her.

"I can't," she answered shortly.

"Psh!" She still doesn't change. She is still Roxanne who is stubborn. Instead of getting really annoyed with her, I decided to turn my back on her. But that was a wrong moved.

"Kyle!" I just felt her tight hug from behind me. She's still crying.

"I'm disgusted, I'm so disgusted with myself you know that?" She started.

"Because, I know it's wrong. I know it's wrong to continue to love you because you already love someone else but my heart—I can't stop my heart from loving you. I'm disgusted with myself because I can't do anything to stop it!"

"I'm so angry, you know? I'm angry because I'm selfish! Why am I so selfish, Kyle? It's been six years and still it's you!"

"Now, I tried to meet you because I want to finally stop. I wanted to kill this feelings—I wanted to kill this love...but,how?" I was speechless from everything that she said. I can't find a right word to say after hearing those words. Instead of answering her, I slowly removed her arms from me to face her. The moment I faced her, I can tell that she's really sincere with her words.

"Just accept the fact that you and I were not belong to be together. Acceptance is the way to move on, Roxanne." I told her seriously. She was shocked by what I said, her tears are still flowing like a river.

"But it's so hard—" she said.

"No, I know you can do it. I believe in you." I told her.

"Yo-you are?" she asked unbelievably. I nodded in response.

"Yes, I do." I answered.

"Thank you! Thank you, Kyle, does it mean I am already forgiven?" She added.

"Yes." Out of nowhere, I just felt her lips touch mine. I was shocked so my eyes remained open. I saw the image of Twaine being hurt so I immediately pushed her away for the second time.

"Daddy!" My whole body went cold for a moment after I realized that the image I saw of Twaine was not just imagination but Twaine herself was here.

"I'm sorry, Kyle, it's just—" Roxanne couldn't continue what she wanted to say after Twaine slapped her.

"How dare you!" Twaine said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Twaine." I said almost whispering.

Roxanne was holding the part of her cheek that had slapped by Twaine. Twaine's facial expression was so angry that it seemed like she didn't care about any explanation from anyone.

"That was just a mistake!" Roxanne's excuse.

"I don't care! The next time you'll do it both I hope not in front of my daughter!" She shouted and left without even looking at me.

"Twaine!" I called her but she seemed to hear nothing.

"Kyle, I'm so sorry," Roxanne's trying to approach me.

"Just leave, Roxanne! It's already done, it's already happened!" I scolded her angrily before leaving my office to chase after Twaine.
