Chapter 39

REIGN
How could life become so complicated. Why can't it just be easy for us?
Why do we need to feel pain? Why do we need to suffer? Why do we need to be so curious? and why do we need to have too much questions in our mind that seems too hard to find its answers.
In fact, my life should be simple, I have a loving mother and a protective lovable father who will do everything for me to be safe and secured, I have money, I could have everything, what I want I get, I have a comfortable and easy life. But why does everything need to have its end. Why do happiness could last? Why do a one simple whole family needs to end up broken and sad? My life started to get chaotic when my parents disappeared, and after that everything never returned to normal. Until I end up in this contract, a life contract with a man I've never expected I would fall into.
I got up from lying down and my eyes searched for the man I hoped I would see waking up with my eyes wide open.
But he's now nowhere to be found. I slowly got up and washed then brushed my teeth, I also got another tshirt and jogger pants from Sage then quickly took a shower and got dressed. Then I decided to go down only wearing his sneakers.
But down handicap down the stairs I no longer liked who was waiting for me in the living room. My eyes wandered the other corner but he was the only one I saw.
"If ... you're looking for sage, he's not here..call him to their company for an emergency meeting." his answer was so few that I just nodded and walked closer to him.
"If that's the case why don't you go after here? Like what you said he's not here anymore, why are you still here?"
"Actually, you're the one I-came here ... I just found out that he was leaving when I came?"
"me? why me?"
"I just have something important to say."
"If its about sage, you can go now. Cause I will never give him up to you."
"N-no reign i-its not that, actually I also wanted to be sorry, I heard about what happened last night."
"You don't need to say sorry, just tell me what you have to tell me, Luna."
"No I think I need to say sorry for everything, I know I caused you pain for everything that I and sage have done, actually it was all just an act." My forehead furrowed, what does it say?
"Even before I came back here I knew that in my heart I had no love left for sage, I have someone in my heart now and he's my mate. Sage called for my help so because we have past and now we are a good friend, I didn't hesitate to go home to help him, in case I don't know that man why when it comes to you it's very hard to admit how he really feels, so we pretended like we still have feelings for each other to make you jealous and to make You let him know your real feelings towards him so that he can make sure that you are really with him, believe me reign he loves you and he was hurt seeing you with caiden. And I am hurt too. " I was even more stunned by what he said.
"Reign, Caiden and I .... we are in a relationship ... he's my mate."
"A-what?" Is that why Cai became a vampire, because luna is his ... or my god.
"Yes, but because sage and I acted, I hid it first, but caiden still loves you, I know that ... So at first I was mad at you that I wanted to hurt you so bad, but then I realized not because sage must love you and I know you love sage too. "
"So all this time? I'm jealous of nothing?" He nodded softly which made me laugh.
"Seriously ?! Do you think what you're doing is fun? You're playing with how I feel!"
"No that's not it."
"If not then what ?!"
"Along with our acting is so that you don't notice what we're doing, especially what I'm doing."
"Can you straighten me out, what's the real reason why the sage is sending you here."
"To know the deepest secret of your step mother and step sister." My heart beat faster because of what he said.
"Vampires know me as one of the best in the field of investigating and finding out other people's best kept secrets."
"A-what did you find out?"
"They're both the reason you're left alone."
My heart seemed to stop beating because of what he said.
"I know sage will be mad at me for telling this to you at this early but I want to fix the relationship between those two. Yes reign, Those two bitches killed your mom and dad to have your family's wealth."
"They poisoned your daddy and killed your mommy." little by little the anger came to life that I almost forgot. I didn"t know about mom"s death cause I was too young that time and dad was so busy, he just told me my mom was gone. I don't even remember if I cried when my mom disappeared but when I grew up everything became clear to me, that's when I felt the pain of losing my mother, and that's when I also saw how the ass flirted with dad. ko! And dad died! He died also because of that whore! I will never allow them to live after this day. They took everything away from me including the two people I needed during the times I was gone.
I got up quickly and no one said leave that house. I went home to the sage's house and took the only thing that I remember kala dad and changed my clothes then quickly searched where the hell they were.
I can't control myself anymore, it seems like something has lived inside me, my chest is full of resentment, pain and anger as if it wants to explode.
I am lusting for blood.
Because of these times delicious to kill.
I am out of control and I know to myself, I won't stop now and no one could ever stop me for doing this, something I should have done a long time ago.
It took me the night to find them, but they weren't that hard to find to catch me for a few more days.
They are living a miserable life, dilapidated houses, and smelly places. I smell the air, and I rightly suspect they are inside that house.
I walked slowly, itching hand to pull out the gun hidden behind me but I seemed to prefer to kill them with my own hands. I kicked hard the door only a little wind would break I heard a scream of shock as a footsteps filled my ears.
"What is that mommy ?!"
"I don't know for a moment and I'll see if it's windy."
"How nice of me to be air?" smiling I greeted cristina. Shock registers on his face as he stares at me.
"R-reign a-what--
"I want to be happy to see you miserable life here ... but I'd rather have your life in hell be more miserable."
"R-reign a-what are you saying?"
"Damn! Stop me from doing that because I'm not happy with you!" I quickly approached him and kicked him so hard that he fell to the floor, he could not speak in panic.
"Mom ?! What's that ?! Who are you talking to-Rei-aack!" I didn't let him finish and strangled him hard in the neck.
"I'm sorry I let myself be trampled on by you! If I only knew I wouldn't have been so good to you even if you treated me so badly !!"
"A-ack r-reign p-ple-hease .."
"Don't beg! Cause that will never change the fact that, your whore mother killed my parents!" I tightened my grip on her neck and threw her hard on the floor and quickly faced Cristina, who was staring at me in shock.
"Y-you ... y-you're a-a v-vampire?" He seemed so scared of the question that I grinned and quickly approached him.
"Yes bitch and be ready to offer your blood to me."
"Stay away from me ... monster!"
"Well because you both created a monster! You created me!" I quickly pulled her foot back and stepped on it, she screamed in pain as I pulled her hair to face me.
"I'm sorry I took your life even longer cristina."
"W-don't! W-don't mommy k-ko! You bitch!" He quickly took a large stick and was about to hit me with no difficulty. You caught it with my hand and threw it hard somewhere. She fell flatly on the floor as she groaned from its impact.
"I want you to see how your mom died in my hand, and after that you'll follow her." I faced Crisitina again and put more emphasis on pulling her hair.
"p-I feel sorry for you ... I-it's just me..h-let go of Crisan..h-let go of my son."
"I begged him, did he feel sorry for me? Do you think there's any mercy left for me huh? Stupid!" I quickly injured her neck She screamed in pain as her daughter cried and was so helpless that she can't even stand to save her mom.
I turned my attention back to his blood -soaked neck. I smell its aromatic sweet scent.
human blood.
I could feel the trembling of her flesh. I tried to taste her blood but I could only imagine that I hated her and I quickly spat it out. I couldn't stomach drinking his blood, it made me sick. Its smell is enough, more than enough.
"Killing you would never be enough but it will be more satisfying than letting you leave this life while my parents are now in a long gone."
I quickly pulled the gun out from behind me and pointed it at him which shocked him despite the pain he was feeling.
"N-no! M-mom!"
"It has only one bullet, only for you. Any last bullshit words?" I whispered loudly to him.
"T-that g-gun..h-how ..." I frowned because of his posture, my mouth got deeper into his forehead and he remained staring at it.
"I-Its y-your f-father's g-gun ..."
"I know," wondering though I was still able to be sarcastic to him, he fell silent again.
"Kill me now ... just kill me ... but please without using t-that gun." My head got so hot that I couldn't hold back anymore, I quickly buried my hand in her chest and quickly pulled it back, my hand was covered by her blood. I heard crisan's cry as I face her with her eyes full of pain and fear. I quickly approached her and it made sense that she would run away and I quickly pulled her hair back as I lifted her and knelt hard on her back that makes her scream in pain as I let go of her. She could hardly move because of the fracture of her back and I took that chance to twist her head.
But I remember that before I could do that I heard him speak. I heard something I had never heard from him.
"I'm sorry reign." That's the exact words, which made me even angrier. You can never erase when you are sorry for the sin you did to my family. Even when you are dead it will remain ingrained in my mind and personality that you are the cause of it all.
None of my own picked up the gun and none of my own walked out. I left the house there that was quickly consumed by fire, I don't want to leave any trace of the two of them. They made me live in hell then I'll made them died in hell. They deserved it.
Tears streamed down on my face. No matter how many times I wipe it off it seems like there is no end to it pouring out of my eyes.
I was so tired of this bullshit life! Like everything was hidden from me. Everything is hidden, everything is secret, even my personality seems to be a big secret even to myself.
I stared at the gun I was holding.
This cold gun, must be something.
From the expression on Cristina's face when she saw it, I knew that there was also a story behind this gun.
And that's what I want to know. But to whom?
I was left alone in the dark, tired, done, and exhausted. I don't know how to weigh things anymore.
I feel like I don't want to go back and run away again. To escape from this reality.
I heard the ringing of my cellphone but I didn't care who the caller was or who was texting me. I remained walking without specific direction to go.
I didn't know how long I was walking until I felt like I had hit a wall.
But why do this wall seems like breathing?
I immediately looked at it and that's how I was shocked when I recognized who he was.
He look so tired. Looking at his eyes right now make you feel how tired he is. There is no trace of emotion on his face and he is also panting like he was just from a long run.
I stepped back slightly and bowed again.
"What are you doing here?"
"How many times do I need to chase you Reign?" his voice was so firm and serious.
"No one told you to do it." If he looks tired, that's how my voice is, it seems to be fading and you can't hear him anymore.
"I told you to trust me didn't I? Why can't you just trust me?"
"I don't understand you, it is my fight. I want to be the one who end this."
"Without knowing what would I feel? You rushed here with no one else with you made me damn worried, you know what kind of danger you'd always get."
"I don't think it concerned you anymore, Nothing happened to me right? I know we are both tired. I am tired let's not argue with this, II just end something, something I should have done first and I won't it's been delayed. " The shoulder I said fell and I was about to turn around when he suddenly pulled me back and hugged me causing me to let go of the gun I was holding earlier and that made a noise between the two of us.
"You made me worried. I've gone far to find you and I almost lost my sanity when I can't even smell you, damn reign what do I have to do for you to make you stay with me and trust me huh? " Full of sadness and resentment he says. Guilt crept on my chest that made me rest my head on his chest as I snake my arms around his body.
"I love you sage." I wish it would be enough instead of saying sorry to him? I felt his hug tighten at the same time as the gentleness of his breathing.
We stayed like that for a minute, and when we both seemed to be at rest we voluntarily let go, he stared at my face for a second and then bent down to pick up the gun I had dropped. When he was about to hand me my gun, it was as if he suddenly realized that it had grabbed his attention and stared at him. But that wasn"t what surprised me, but the loss of any emotion on his face as he stared at that gun.
What's wrong with that gun?
"S-sage?"
He immediately turned to me and quickly handed it to me which I quickly accepted and hid.
"Are you okay?"
"Is that yours?"
"Ah, yes? I got it in my possession. I bet my dad put it there, the only thing they left for me." He just nodded and turned away which made me even more surprised.
"Lets go home, you need to rest." There was a trace of coldness in his voice as he turned slightly towards me, I just nodded even though he couldn't see and followed to walk.
When we got out of that area we went straight to a car I knew he owned.
He opened the door for me, then he entered the driver's seat as he started the engine and drove off.
Sage was quiet until we got home. I knew he was like this before but why does it seem to get worse now?
after entering, he was already in the room and when I followed him I found him asleep. Maybe he's just really tired?
I first went into the bathroom after hiding the gun to take a bath and then got dressed for sleep and then slowly walked closer to the bed and sat on it while watching Sage. I found out with a sigh and lay down next to him.
KINABUKASAN
I was woken up to hear a noise below that seemed to be talking and arguing. Even before my spirit was fully awake, I hurried out of the room.
Instead of going down I immediately hid and let myself listen to the conversation of the two people below.
"Will you just go home? Maybe you'll wake him up. Go home and leave it to me, I know what I am doing!"
"Really sage? You know? Stupid! How do you know eh I know you've already fallen for that woman! I promised you that I will never hurt her because you promised me too! Where is that sage ?! Where is what you said I'll let her live because you still need her !? You know who that fvcking girl is! " He"s fuming mad, his voice, even his breathing I know he"s furious and I don"t know where that"s coming from. I didn"t like the course of their argument because I felt like I was really the woman he was referring to.
"Damn it hage! Can't you just leave? If you can't accept it then leave! I am not shallow like you. Who can give up everything and drive a woman away just because of the past!"
"Fool! Its because I am protecting both sides! I will definitely not accept people related to our mother's death! If I could, I would kill them sage! I will fvcking kill them! So if you can't get rid of That woman is alive! I myself will remove her from this family! You know that I can really kill her and I'm not kidding! " My breathing became heavier, even my hands began to tremble. I don't know what to think, I can't understand and I don't want to understand I want to hear more but I can bare to know more. I was in between a gradual breakdown as it struggled to form.
"I told you. I know what I am doing! Stop this shit hage and just leave."
"Leave her, break her, that's the only thing that can calm me down. That's the only way that will make me contented and satisfied."
I couldn't listen anymore, I quickly went back to the room and quickly took a shower and then got dressed, my dim eyes immediately searched for the gun that I knew had something to do with everything I heard. I moved quickly and left that house without anyone noticing.
If sage can't give me the fvcking answer then I'll search for it.
My tears kept pouring as I searched for the direction to go, until my hand found its way to my phone.
I took it quickly and even though my eyes were dim, I was still able to find the name of the person I knew could help me now.
Shenlo.
