“Lara, I’m glad to see you again!” Although we could not enter the house of Lucifer’s parents, my aunts were waiting for us at the door.
“Good evening.” I was embarrassed to greet and smile.
“Good evening mom, dad.” Lucifer kissed Auntie on the cheek.
“I’m so happy that you two made it tonight. How are you, hija? You look gergous!” My cheeks warmed when my aunt praised me.
“It’s okay. You too, you’re beautiful as always.” It grinned.
“Let’s come inside, hon.” Aunt nodded at what her husband said and walked ahead.
“Mom, I saw Clyde’s car. Is he here?” Lucifer asked as he walked.
“Yes! Clyde’s here. He’s with his wife. I didn’t tell you because their visit was sudden.”
Lucifer nodded his head and wrapped his arm around my waist.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
when we got to the dining room, we immediately met Clyde and his wife.
“Good evening, cousin!” Clyde smirked.
It turned to me. “Hi, you’re Lucifer’s girlfriend right? I’m Clyde. You’re familiar. I think I already saw you.”
I nodded. “Because I used to go to your company.” My cheeks warmed up again at what was said.
I saw Clyde’s eyes widen but that was immediately replaced by laughter.
“Yeah, I remember that!” It looked at Lucifer with teasing.
“Clyde, that’s enough.” we turned to his wife.
Clyde was silent but there was still a foolish smile on his face.
“Lucifer and Lara, hija, you two should sit down. Let’s eat.” Lucifer and I sat down and started eating.
while eating, they talk especially about business and company.
I also learned that Nathania was the name of Clyde’s wife. He was also familiar to me, as if I had seen him in Clyde’s company before. I just don’t really remember.
“It’s good that you came home from Italy right away. It’s good that the hospital where you work allowed you, hija?” Aunt asked so Lucifer and I looked at each other.
“Actually, Lara resigned.” They were especially stunned by the aunt whose eyes were now widening.
“W-What? Why?”
I smiled sweetly at them. “I decided to resign as a nurse in Italy because I also want to return to the Philippines. Maybe, I’ll just look for a job here.” Auntie’s face was relieved after hearing my reason. I thought maybe it was Lucifer forcing me again.
“I’m glad to hear that! It’s a good thing, Lucifer isn’t permanent in Italy. Long distance is still difficult.” The language is tita.
“So, when’s the wedding?” We were all hooked on Clyde’s sudden question.
“Clyde, what ? embarrassing to them. “Nathania scolded but the husband just smiled.
“What? That’s where it will go too. Unless, Lucifer doesn’t have a plan to marry Lara?” I blinked at what he said and swallowed.
I felt Lucifer slightly confused by the question and seemed afraid of how I would react.
“I have a plan about marrying her but I think this is not the right time to talk about that yet. She’s not ready yet, right baby?” Even though my face was red, I nodded. he just called me baby in front of his family!
Just wait, I’m thrilled!
“But if I were to decide, I would marry her immediately. Even tomorrow immediately.” My eyes widened.
“That’s my son.” Tito laughed.
What is Lucifer saying? my cheeks are so red from what he is saying.
“I thought girls are boring? Cat got your tounge, cousin?” Clyde laughed angrily but Lucifer just circled it and just laughed too.
“Yeah, this is Cupid’s fault. I fell inlove again with the same woman.”
to be sure, those in front of us are now shocked because of what the person next to me is saying.
“Shít! I don’t image you being this cheesy. Finally, the heartless and manipulative Lucifer is in love!” Clyde laughed out loud and Nathania scolded him again.
“Stop it, you’re like that too ah? You’re just the same.” We laughed now.
Cousin that.
I was so thankful that the topic of conversation changed and I got back to business. When we finished eating they decided to go to the pool side for a little drink. Nathania and my aunt and I were left to take shelter. There were no helpers because my aunt sent me home after getting ready.
“I’ll just give this to the boys.” Auntie said goodbye while carrying the plate with the pulutan.
Nathania and I both nodded. when my aunt left, she turned to me and smiled.
“Do you still remember me? The one who gave you the handkerchief because I saw you crying in the hallway.” I immediately went back to my memory and couldn’t believe I looked at Nathania.
“I-It’s you?”
He nodded.
“Yes. i even saw you chasing Lucifer. “I felt ashamed.
“Thank you and yes, I was really chasing Lucifer back then. Inlove na inlove kasi.” We both laughed.
“But look at you both now! Finally together and happy.” My heart warmed at what he said.
“You and your husband too. stay strong in our relationships. “I grinned.
“Where is your son? You didn’t bring him?” I will ask.
“No. It’s four pm because they go home to school and someone came after him. Clyde and I came from his company so we decided to visit hereThat’s right and now you’re coming, my aunt said earlier. “I nodded at her answer.
Auntie couldn’t come back so we just decided to bleed where they were.
“Are you tired?” Lucifer asked when I could get close to him.
I shook. “Not yet.” my answer.
“Auntie, we won’t be long. Natalie is waiting for us. She might get angry again because we came home late.” The language is Clyde.
“Be careful on the ride ah? Be careful on the drive Clyde.” Aunt’s note.
We got up and escorted Nathania out of the house.
“You, Lucifer, sleep here.” My aunt said and I didn’t just moan. Maybe Lucifer is too tired to drive.
When Nathania and Clyde left, Lucifer hugged me as we entered the house again.
“Mom, dad. Lara and I are going to rest in my room.” aunt’s eyes narrowed and she grinned slightly foolishly.
“Really? Just rest? Just sleep?” Its a teasing question that made my whole face blush. I feel like my face is so red.
What is it, auntie, the ugly thought!
“Mom!” Lucifer’s rebuke. Her parents laughed.
“I don’t believe it, son. I don’t believe it’s just sleep. You shouldn’t be ashamed because it’s normal for a groom like you to do that but …” My heart beat faster.
But?
“But I just have a request from you.” Lucifer frowned at both of us.
“What?”
Auntie’s eyes twinkled.
“Give us a grandchild! Your dad and I are old. We want to have a grandchild. So please, do it. I don’t care if you yell loudly in your room or even if we hear what’s important, you can come up. Understood? “My lips parted at what my aunt had said so vulgarly.
Is this really Lucifer’s mother?
“What the fck mom ?!” even the one next to me was shocked by what his mother said.
Auntie just laughed out loud and pulled Uncle by the arm.
“Your dad and I will sleep too. Goodnight couples!”
“I didn’t know your mom was wild too.” I stared at Lucifer as we both lay on the bed and hugged.
“I’m sorry about what she said earlier. Don’t mind her, it’s just a joke. I don’t want to force you to build us again. I know it’s not easy for you because of what happened.” It was as if his words touched my heart so I hugged him tightly.
“It’s fine.” I whispered.
we were silent for a moment but he broke the silence with his gentle voice.
“I’m sorry …” He said in a low voice but full of sincerity.
Astonished I raised my head to look at him.
“Why?” I asked.
“I’m sorry for being a jerk, heartless and manipulative asshóle.” I was speechless so he continued.
“I have done so much sin to you. I have a lot of what if’s. What if, I listened to you that time? What if I believed early on that nothing really happened ? that you’re just a victim of Fiona’s sin? “When he mentioned Fiona, I felt annoyed.
“I know you’re confused why I’m being like this right now? My Velle … I have a confession to make.” I stared at him.
“What? Tell me …” I answered.
He sighed. “When I saw you and Tristan on the same bed, I was furious. I can’t believe that you cheated on me. I was devastated and betrayed that time Lara.” He held my hand tightly.
“That night, I went to a bar. I got drunk.. I want to forget that pain for a while. But, I fcked up … “I frowned at what he said.
I think I have little idea of the destination of what he is saying now.
“I slept with a girl that night.” My idea was confirmed.
I did not speak but I felt chest pain.
I could see the remorse on his face. “I-I’m sorry …” He said in a trembling voice.
“Who’s the girl? Did you meet her?” Even though it hurt, I was able to ask him.
his fist clenched and he slightly averted his eyes from me. He fell silent suddenly. Seems like he doesn’t want to tell me who.
“Do you know? Who?” I asked again even though my eyes were already red.
“She’s …” She let go of my hand wiping her face. he backed away from me and seemed hard to say.
“Who, Lucifer? Who–”
“It’s Fiona.”
I was stunned. My world seemed to stop. Tears finally came out of my eyes.
“Is it F-Fiona?” I stuttered the question. when he nodded I looked away from him and wiped the tears from my cheeks.
“Y-You’re the one who cheated on us, Lucifer.” I finally heard it.
I looked at him again and I could see different emotions on his face. Remorse, pain, and anxiety.
“Go on. Tell me what happened after that night. Did it happen again?” There is bitterness in my voice.
He immediately shook his head.
“I have no idea who that girl is. After a week, Fiona suddenly appeared to me. She said she was that girl. I didn’t believe it at first but …” She stopped.
“But when I saw he had a video, that’s when he confirmed it.” I was shocked but I kept listening to what he was saying.
“I still don’t believe her because that time, all I want to do is just to get drunk. I don’t have any plans on fcking another girl. but I realized something …. “He reached for my hand.
“She drugged me, Velle. The tequila that I was drinking has a drug that will make me crave for s*x.”
At this point, I really wanted to kill Fiona. I want to tweak him. I want to hurt him.
the amount he did that we ruined. He broke everything. It’s all his fault.
“I was angry with her. I badly wanted to slap her that time but she blackmailed me. She will show you our s*x video. I’m afraid. I don’t want you to see that video because it will surely break you even though I saw you like that Tristan, there’s still a part of me that believes you. But Fiona is a wicked witch. She’s a btch. He will spread pictures of you and Tristan as well as our video. I don’t want to ruin your name. I don’t want to ruin you. ”
“You don’t want me to break ? of all you did to me then Lucifer, that word just isn’t enough. You stopped my dream. “He took a deep breath.
“Fiona doesn’t want you to be a nurse so she blackmailed me again. I was forced to do that to you. She doesn’t want me near you. She doesn’t want us to get back together. i was her fcking slave that time. “He hissed.
“You have the power to destroy her Lucifer. Why didn’t you?” I will ask.
“She will kill you if I don’t follow her. I can protect you but she has many plans. I know, I’m stupid because I chose to hurt you but if that’s the only thing that will save you from Fiona I’ll do it again and again. “He reached for my hand and held it tightly. His hands were red. eyes just like mine.
“I’m sorry.. i hope you will understand me. Even her parents are tolerating her. They’re powerful. They have a lot of connections. I prefer to protect you from him even if it hurts for me. If you think it’s superficial for you, it’s too hard for me. add to that the reason I believed for a few years that something really happened to you and Tristan. You cheated on me, Lara. That’s what I always had in mind and Fiona kept saying. I’ll admit, I’m mad at you. but since I found out the truth, I don’t want to be a coward anymore. “I really couldn’t stop my tears so I let them flow but he wiped them away.
“When we lost our child, that’s when I realized. Not only did he lose, you too. You’re tired of me. you are tired of loving me. You even hated when our son disappeared. Blame me Lara. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. Criticize me all and I will accept. But will you lose me? I can’t accept that. I love you Lara. I love you, my Velle. Please forgive me. “he said and hugged me tightly.
“W-What happend to Fiona?” But I ask.
“No more. She’s in jail right now.” My eyes widened at what he said.
I let go of the hug.
“N-He’s incarcerated now? Why h-I don’t know–”
“I’m also sorry to say this my Velle but she was the one who hit you.” The pain in my chest got worse.
“A-Ano–”
He rushed to hug me again.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I started to cry.
“S-He’s all to blame! K-It’s his fault ‘toh!’ Our son. he killed my son! “I shouted.
I feel mixed now. Sadness, pain and anger.
I will pay him. She is shameless! He broke everything!
“We will make sure she will pay. I’ll make sure of that. I’m sorry my Velle. I love you …”
he hugged me for a few minutes and made me stay. When I finally calmed down I kissed him on the lips.
I saw the shock on its face. I know he expects me to get angry and I won’t ignore him but I just want it all over. I don’t want anyone to hold a grudge against him.
“We’re both victims to this, Lucifer. You are a victim, I am also a victim of the sins that Fiona committed against us. We will make sure that this time, we will both fight. I have forgiven you for what you have done. I understand I understand. You’re not a coward, okay? You’re just protecting me”He smiled and pressed a kiss to my lips.
“I love you so much my Velle.”
“I love you too, Lucifer.”
