Chapter 53: Chapter 53

“W-wait. I don't know what you want. I-I mean— ” I couldn't connect with what I was saying. I lost for words because I felt like I was left in the dark because of what she said. Just to think that I’m leaving next to Adonis— hurts me. Why am I feeling this way? I thought I had already decided to leave his side? Why am I backing down now?

“You will only damage Adonis, so leave.” Her voice is cold now. Her earlier demanding and peaceful voice was replaced by something even colder in the breeze.

“How could you say that?” I questioned her because I couldn’t get her point. She is leaving the country, but I seem to have proven that they have no relationship with Adonis.

“There are some mysteries that cannot be solved, and others that must be limited. Some secrets should remain unspoken. When you realize what I'm saying, I hope you don't hesitate to leave his house and abandon him. If you stay by his side any longer, he'll drown.” She glanced at me sternly, then turned to me and climbed into her car. I couldn't talk right away.

the cool air chilled my body. It's as if someone spoke to me, and suddenly numerous memories from the day I met Adonis until where we are now flooded back to me. What if he knew who I was before he helped me and approached me? I was instantly deluged with inquiries, so I dashed home. When I arrived, the lights were still turned off. Two cars are parked in front of the main entrance. The first was Adonis' vehicle, followed by Wendy's.

My forehead frowned. They are here, why are the lights still off? Every step I take is just light. It was as if someone was telling me not to make a noise or even crackle at all. The door opened as little as I walked. The inside can be seen immediately, but because the opening is too small, I would have opened it when I could hear voices from inside.

“When is your flight? I'll take you with my uncle if you want.” They sat on the sofa. I could see them clearly because they were just sitting in the living room.

Wendy appeared to be saying farewell to him, so I would have turned around to leave them first, but when Wendy spoke the words she also said to me, I stood up straight. My face and body were ready to depart, but my ear remained to hear them both.

“How come you don't want to leave Luna?! You know she's not going to help you! She'll only bring you calamities!” Wendy's voice grew louder. I couldn't see them since I had turned my back on them, so I couldn't tell what their reactions were.

“If she is a calamity, then I'm ready to die for her—”

I was startled when Wendy scream. With the loudness of her voice, her voice immediately resounded throughout the household. This was the first time I heard how loud she shrieked. I thought she didn’t know that thing. They didn't seem to see me yet, so I continued listening and stayed where I was.

“YOU'RE CRAZY! How do you think Luna will feel for you when she finds out you killed her parents?! ”

At that shout, I seemed deaf. I stiffened from where I stood. What Wendy said echoed. I wanted to ask her if I wasn't mistaken in what I heard, but I didn't need that as she continued what she was saying.

“YOU KNOW SHE CAN'T FORGIVE YOU, ESPECIALLY THAT YOU CHEATED HER ABOUT THE HELP, YOU SAID TO HER.”

That's how loud my new wounds are.

Because of what she said, I wanted to scream in agony.

Adonis made me appear silly while also convincing me. What is his state of mind? Are these also forgeries? Isn't that entirely true? What made him do this to me? Wendy's last statement solved all of my questions.

“What if she finds out you just used her to bring Cole down? Do you think she will let you? Do you think she can forgive you?” Wendy faked a laugh. She laughed out loud, but it was a fake sign.

"SHUT UP!”

Their voices fight in the air. It was as if they were vying for who had the loudest voice. But I slowly walked in. I spontaneously walked to my feet and opened the door. They looked at me at the same time. Both their eyes widened. But my eye was like a dagger pointed straight into Adonis's eye. My heart ached as if it were angry because the person it loved had been the reason it is having a hard time now.

“W-why?” My tears just flowed. That was all that came out of my mouth. I can’t say a word to blame all the pain I experienced because of what he did.

“Why?” My question is more solid now, it’s intact and there’s no rattle. I want to get the answer, even though I already know that. “Is it fun to see me stupid? That while you enjoy what you do, I am like a blind woman walking in emptiness?” I didn’t let my voice break. I don’t want him to see that I’m struggling. Not only that, but I've had enough of crying my whole life. I brush my tears away.

When I got no response, I nodded. I feel like I understand everything. That there should be no explanation anymore. I pinched myself to wake up that it wasn’t fake and that it was all true.

He was about to hold my hand, but I stopped him. I raised both my hands in the air. He is like acid, slowly burning me down. My heart could not bear that he was the person I thought was my ally, but the truth is he is not. Poison.

I turned my back on him and climbed to the top. I no longer knew what I was going to do, where I was going. I feel like I'm floating while walking. I want to kneel in pain. But I will not let myself be deceived. I thought I was out of the pace of revenge … I thought I would just let fate … But I was wrong.

I took my phone out of my bag and unblocked Cole’s number. I stared at it for a long time. I entered the room, then type the messages I wanted to tell him.

“I'll tell you something tomorrow, let's meet.”
