Chapter 44
“It’s because of God, Roxanne …” I answered sparingly.
His forehead furrowed. “Because of God?”
I nodded. “Yup. I believe that despite all this, he was still guiding me. I feel like he’s whispering in my ear that I should be strong. I need to be strong because if I’m going to be weak, to whom will the people who depend to me? If I become weak, what will you do? ”
She smirked. “You’re really unbelievable. You always talk positive.”
I smirked at her, too. “A negative mind will never give you a positive life, Roxy …”
He just shook me and stood up. She approached my parents “coffin and I just watched her. I saw a tear fell from her eye. I can’t blame her either, she was treated like a real child of Mom and Dad.
I looked up at Seymour and saw his serious stare at me. But when we looked right he just smiled at me sparingly and looked straight ahead.
I hugged Kuya Ryan for the last moment and I felt him kiss my forehead. He was now handcuffed and will be put in a police car again.
Our parents “funeral was over and there I shed my tears. Fortunately, Ivan was by my side to calm me down.
‘take care, princess. Be careful with her …” Kuya whispered in my ear before I let go of the hug so I was a little surprised. Whom Shall I Beware of?
Kuya was already in the police car and I just watched it leave until it disappeared from my sight. I wiped my eyes and my face was soaked with tears.
I shut my eyes tight and prayed silently.
Dear God,
If one day I lose my hope and purpose, please give me the confidence that your destiny was better than anything that I dreamed. Amen.
I opened my eyes and walked towards the parking lot. That’s where Ivan was waiting for me.
“Rigella …”
I stiffened in my stance and looked at that familiar voice.
“Sis…. Rina?”
End of Flashback
Andrea’s POV
Flashback
“Ate Rina.” I looked seriously at the face of the woman in front of me now.
He swallowed and looked to his right and left. Then he grabbed my arm and pulled me to where.
I gritted my teeth. He showed up to me. I can’t understand why he was still harassing me now when he just ignored me when he left.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
We stopped behind a musileo. He let go of my arm and worriedly stared at me. I just folded my arms and shrugged.
Why does he seem to want to tell me something but he was hesitant? It’s like the times when he advised me on good manners were back. He was the one who encouraged me to just trust in god. But he left me.
He took a deep breath and looked at me intently. “You need to stay away from him, Rigella. You’ll just be damned like Mom and Dad!” Whispering but he said emphatically.
I was amazed when she called my parents, “mom and dad”. As far as I know, since he left home then, he no longer considered our parents as parents. She chose to go away from us and do what she wants.
“Him? Who were you referring to?” I asked with a frown.
“It’s Ivan, Rigella! Tell me, do you really know your husband very well?” He said that surprised me.
I was stunned. Aside from his name, his family and his temperament I know nothing more about Ivan. I don’t even know his favorites, hobbies and such. Neither one has.
Gradually my forehead wrinkled again. What was the connection with what Ate Rina was saying? Damn! I do not understand!
“What were you saying ?!” I can’t help but to raise my voice because of my eagerness. I want to know what he was saying.
“You didn’t know that he’s a part of Dark Alpha?” He said he couldn’t believe it.
“A … What’s Dark Alpha?” I guess the question.
Gradually fear covered his face. Ate Rina wiped her face and I saw the edge of her tears. Anger was very evident on her eyes.
His face was serious and I seemed to be terrified. Only now have I seen him like this and he was scary now. She’s like … Ivan’s female version when she’s angry.
I sighed as he grabbed my arm. Someone helped a bead of tears from his eyes. Why was she crying?
“Listen, your husband was part of a Mafia Organization. They were the strongest Mafia, worldwide. And your husband, he was the second highest position in that Mafia. And that group … killed the parents let’s … “he kept his promise and he also tightened his grip on my arm so I looked there.
His grip on my arm hurt but I couldn’t bear it. My eyes widened at what Ate said. What does he know that I don’t know ?!
“You’re lying!” I punched him and tried to pull my arm back but he held it tighter.
“I’m not lying, Rigella! You’re just blinding it to the truth! You don’t know him very well yet. He can kill without sanctioning. He can actually hurt you physically, can’t he? And hey, Dark Alpha was also the reason why Ryan was jailed. They were the reason! They killed our parents and even if you can’t believe he was an accomplice! ”
was he an accomplice? Although I don’t want to believe, there was a part of me that believes in what my sister says. I don’t even know him very well yet. But … I shouldn’t judge him either because I don’t even know him completely, right?
It was as if I was weakened by what Ate said so I just shuddered and couldn’t answer. What if true? I don’t know what I would do when it happened.
“Believe me, Rigella! Your husband was evil. You fell for a wrong person and I regret that I was the reason for you to get married …”
I immediately turned to him. That caught my attention. It’s funny because Ate knows more than me about Ivan and even my husband.
“What do you mean?” Anas ko.
“I was the reason why you met again in a bar. I asked one of my friends to invite you in her party to meet you. That time, even though I left I still wanted to make you happy so I did that. I know how much you love him. But … I didn’t know you would get pregnant … ”
I couldn’t speak as well as he did. I could only hear the sound of the strong wind and even the sound of birds.
That party triggered the one night stand between Ivan and me. I was drunk and he was also drunk and … broken. That sums it all.
