Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Chapter 42

“OH speaking of the cutie devil! Hello Baby!" Killian looked at me and I just stared at her. He looked surprised as if he didn't know I was going to live here.

He still looks like a mess, and he doesn't seem to have taken a bath for a few days. His wounds are still there too. is there no one to clean his wounds? He looks awful but still cute, I wonder what the former Maple will think when he sees Kill.

Will he feel sorry? Will she forgive her too? He’s our weakness afterall. "H-hello…?"

“Baby, your older brothers used to call you. You don't want to go out? Oh and we were just discussing about Maple’s future link. ” Tita said happily. "She's staying here too."

“W-what? Really? ” his eyes suddenly lit up, wow he really wanted me here. Tita nodded and faced me.

“So how about him? He’s an incomplete too. ” I was swallowed up when Tita non asked me. Damn it, I don’t have any plans to link first… I need to find a way.

"No I'm sorry I will still refuse." I answered modestly. I looked at Killian when I answered, I could see his shoulders dripping down and his head bowed.

“What do you mean… no? You don't want to be a link with him? ” Aurelius asked me in shock. I just smiled at him, I had to find an excuse. I have no choice but to do this, I’m sorry Killian.

“The Leopold Family has done a very big thing to help my family, being linked to the Leopold family is something I can’t do I’m sorry. They have done so much for us. ” I answered and looked at Aunt Kailey. "I will find another link only."

I don't really plan on getting another link right now because I'm focused on my work. but Tita will continue to bother me so I need to find a way, I’m sure the link search won’t happen.

We saw Killian leave when I answered that. I felt sorry for him when he left, too bad I need to do this. So I looked coldly as he walked away, my aunt held my hand.

“Are you sure Maple? You two were close back then, don't you remember him? ” Tita asked worriedly. Shit, do I need to lie more?

"No I'm sorry I don't remember him." Tita’s grip on my hand tightened, I’m sure she realized I’m lying now! Killian and I used to be together and I remember my aunt but her son isn't it ?!

“Boys, go get your brother and see if he’s ok. Maple and I are just going to talk. ” I just swallowed what Tita said. Did he know I was just pretending? “Maple? I know that look, why did you do that? ”

"An-ano po kasi…" I just scratched my head and bowed down, she won't understand my reason. “Yes… uhm-

“I understand, don’t push him to hard huh? I know what happened, I still vote for you. But unfortunately, you still need to find a link. ” I nodded. "We'll find your link next week, for now you need to go to school again."

I nodded and bowed. Ah, yes, I'm still studying. I guess we’ll be looking for my link next week then. By the way, is he alright? Was I too hard on him? I'm just recovering, but I feel guilty now.

(KILLIAN’S POV)

“She hates me now…” I don’t know why but I feel terrible inside me, I keep clenching in my heart. It hurts the pain really. I cried again. "Sh-she won't forgive me too."

I closed the door and locked it and sat down in front of my door. Why am I feeling terrible? It’s so terrible that it hurts. She says she doesn’t want to link to me, she hates me! why did I run away anyway ?!

‘It’s really your fault, you hurt her and left her there. What do you expect? ’

I just covered my ears. “Stop it, I know it’s my fault. I didn’t know Vanilla was one- “

‘No, you know he’s an opponent. You feel she’s an enemy, you didn’t trust yourself. Because you are thinking of having a link. I already warned you to stay away, but you completely ignored it. ’He whispered again.

“I’m sorry, stop saying those please. I know it's my fault, please stop. Everything hurts now, she despises me now. ” Stooping I said. “Please help me, you knew him before. Can’t we be close again? as usual?"

‘No, I won’t help you this time. I helped you remember our past, it’s your fault so fix this by yourself. I always help you, stop being weak and go chase after her like she chased after us before. ’

And there I never heard him again, he probably left me again. What am I going to do? She also avoids me, does she really not remember me? I’m sorry Quinn, I shouldn’t have left you there. I must keep my promise, if only I can turn back time.

If only I have been more… observing. I was too naïve, you even confessed to me in your near-life incident. I was caught in my eye because of the tears that kept dripping. I really did regret everything, if only… I was a better person.

She always comfort me whenever I’m down, she cheers me up. why did I leave her? you fool Killian! Why ?! Did your perspective on him change when it was too late? It's really too late. She’s going to be linked to someone else.

I loved her too… but I always denied that. I wanted to hear her say ‘I love you’ again.

I just stared at Quinn surrounded by students. I'm here in a tree, hidden. Because Ophelia said that I was not allowed to approach Quinn, I was forbidden to go near her.

-Flashback-

“You are not allowed to go near her, it is strictly forbidden. If I saw you near her, you would never really see her again. We are really leaving my aunt's house. ” I was so bitten on the lip when he said that to me.

Here we are outside the house, I went outside because Quinn was outside strolling. I wanted to see her but Ophelia saw me, they were with Juno too.

"I-I can't talk to him?" I asked trembling, he nodded. I can’t even survive without seeing her, like last month. Kuya helped me see her using a video he recorded at the hospital. “Can’t I just… see her from afar? Or protect her from-

“As long as I haven't seen you near the young lady. It’s fine. ” Then he left and left me. crap? What will I do?

I just wanted to see her face, why can't I even? I already lost her love, is this too?

Did I really deserve this much ??? Wait, yeah. I probably deserve this
