Chapter 56: Chapter 56

After a long period, he brought me somewhere. The pounding of the waves rocked the rock, and I could see the towering and tall Ferris wheel only facing the water. That's why he brought me here, since the first thing I see is the ocean, and it gives you a tranquil sense in your heart. The gusts of wind coming at me were not odd. It was almost as though I was welcoming it.

“When I was a kid, my grandmother would take me here all the time. My parents are frequently absent, which makes me unhappy. Isn't our circumstance comparable? That's why I brought you here to make you happy.” I disregarded what he was saying and simply gazed at the water, which appeared angry at the ferocity of each wave.

I was looking into space when he abruptly grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the Ferris wheel rider. “You'll have a better view from above,” he said as he paid the guard and led me away. He didn't follow me and simply stood there watching me ride. Fortunately, no one is present. I'm not sure what day it is today.

He waved at me as the Ferris wheel slowly rotated as if to say farewell. I didn't even crack a grin or show any emotion. I crane my head to get a better view of the water. Like Cole says, I can see the complete picture now. My tears poured while I was up there. I can't stop my tears from falling, no matter how hard I try to tell myself that I'm not in pain. My heart was heavy, and I felt like there was a rock inside me, and I would tumble with every step I made. I was in tears as I let them go. I brushed away any tears that might have fallen.

When I was at the top, the Ferris wheel stopped. I think Cole asks the guard to stop it, so I could have time to myself. I forgot myself, I forgot to embrace myself. After I released the weight in my heart, the Ferris wheel moved again, so I wiped away my tears. I made a few sighs before finally calming down. Even though the weight did not go, I still feel better than last night.

When I came down, I hugged Cole. If not for him, I would not feel better. I hugged him tightly because if it wasn't for him, I might have gone crazy with the amount of thinking. It is also the embraced that I felt sorry because I planned something bad for him, even though he was not really at fault.

“How are you feeling? Are you okay now?" he said, and I gripped him even tighter. What I need now is a friend to depend on, but without one, I can't take the agony away. But I can't tell Cole about the two of us or Adonis. Enough for me, I leaned on him, and he listened.

I moved my head away from him.

“Wait for me here; I'll just come back,” Cole said as he walked back.

As I was about to walk, I backed away when I saw Adonis looking at us from a distance. I was taken aback. How did he find me? I hadn’t seen him follow me earlier.

Cole has been talking to the man, so he still can't see Adonis. Adonis got back in his car and pulled it away. When I looked back at Cole, he was walking towards me again. Because I have terrified eyes, he also looked where I was looking, but he frowned as no one was there. He touched my forehead to check if I had a fever, so I immediately removed his hand.

“Let's go?” I invited him to come home. My heart aches every time I think that Adonis's eyes are full of anger and sadness. What awaits me when I return home?

Cole drove me back to Adonis' place a few hours later. We took our time since, in addition to the traffic, we traveled a great distance. He had just woken me awake to the fact that I was already at home, and when I looked outside, it was already dark. I thanked Cole first and then stood back and watched him depart. I was ready to unlock the main gate when I noticed Adonis lounging against the wall, arms crossed. I was engulfed by my heart. When he spoke, I would have passed him.

“Are you enjoying it?” There was a taunter in his voice. It was as if he wanted to convey something because he accompanied it with a grin. He left his incline then stepped closer to me. When he put his face on me, I covered my nose because of the strong smell of alcohol. Now I'm dizzy.

I pushed his chest, so he couldn’t get any closer because I wanted to vomit. After all, the foul smell of alcohol was drawing in my nose. It doesn't smell bad, but for me, it smells the worst. Recently, I have been becoming sensitive.

“Why? Don't you want to hug me, since you're accustomed to being held by that jackass Cole?” There was a tinge of rage in his voice. When he took my hand, there was no denying it. Even though it didn't hurt, I still didn't want him to hold me until now. “Do you realize how long I waited here? I'm about to run out of whiskey!” He was pointing at something, but I couldn't see it because it was getting dark.”

I was still trying to remove his hand from me. “Who told you to wait for me, or you should wait for me?! Did I give you that responsibility?!” I shove him, but he didn't move. When I completely removed my hand, he could not speak.

“Remember, I have not ordered or asked for anything from you. If there was one thing I wanted, it was you to help me get revenge. But it looks like we're quits now because you fooled me.” When I said that, I hit his arm to pass.
