I felt the handcuff loosen from my hand. 'Then I hugged him tightly with both my arms. I cried in his arms.
"I'm sorry for being selfish, Primo, I'm sorry for being immature. I was just thinking to myself. I didn't k-know that it would hurt you even m-more, "I sobbed.
He buried his face in my shoulder and rained a little kiss on my skin. "It's okay. You don't have to worry about me, baby. I'm fine as long as you'll stay by my side. "
I closed my eyes while embracing this moment.
.
I stared intently at my cell phone, which had been ringing for a while. I was just staring right at the screen, directly, watching how Vicente's messages took over my message.
I looked at Primo who was sleeping next to me.
Should I answer Vicente's call?
He seems so eager to talk to me. Most likely, I just suddenly left his office after knowing everything I needed to know. I also found out that my dad threatened him, daddy told my grandfather that he had to pretend he didn't like me so that his secrets wouldn't be revealed.
My dad. He's really a big ass.
I didn't know he'd be this desperate and selfish.
I bit my lower lip before typing a reply.
Call me.
I sighed before placing the cellphone on top of my stomach. In less than a few minutes I immediately felt my cell phone vibrate. I quickly answered Vicente's call.
"Vicente," I uttered his name.
"Eerrah. Where are you? You just suddenly left earlier! I was worried about you! " there was a streak of concern in his voice.
"I need to clear my mind a while ago. I'm sorry for leaving all of a sudden, "I said calmly. If I didn't find out about the truth, I might have slapped him and laughed at him because of his concern.
I feel guilty for being bad at him. I can't blame myself either. But he was also just a victim of my father's desperation. All this time I thought dad was under Vicente's power and control, but the other way around. My grandfather was the victim.
"It's okay, I understand you. You must be shocked about the things you heard and I'll not blame you for it. I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you. I just want to protect you against my son. He's desperate, he just wants power, " he added, his voice full of anger.
I smiled sweetly. "I can't believe that dad can do all of these. I didn't know he would reach this point. "
"I'm at fault too, Eerrah. Wanting to keep all my secrets, I conspired with him. I'm really sorry for the horrible things I did- "
"I already forgave you."
For a moment silence prevailed on the other line. I heard Vicente cleared his throat after a few seconds.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind. I did many cruel things on you, Eerrah. I was affected too much. I hurt you and say many horrible things. But t-thank you. Thank you for forgiving me that easily. " My smile widened at his answer.
"It's not your fault, eh. Daddy just controlled you. Just like you I am also a victim of his lies. He even transferred me to Empires High so I wouldn't be able to get out, so he can do the things he wants to do freely. I'm so stupid not to notice it, "I whispered beneath my breath.
"I'm really sorry about your dad, Eerrah. He used to be a good man when he was with your mom. Even though what happened to them before was wrong and disgusting, I just let them go. I was a jerk for letting them continue the relationship they want, but they were both happy so I didn't appeal. But things started to get weird when Isabella gave birth to you. Your mom... She cheated on Karazon. "
"What?" I asked in shock.
"I think this is not the right time for us to talk about it. Meet me at the nearest coffee shop in your area. You can bring Primo with you, so he'll get the chance to know about the truth hidden in the past. " I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay. I'll text you the location. Primo and I will go there together. Thank you lolo, "I whispered.
"You're welcome. I promise to make everything right, I'll fix the chaos that Kaerraon started. "
