Regret [END]

"Livy!"

'Oh my God! Why is Arthur here? Don't let Arthur take Richard away from me! Livy said to herself. Livy immediately rushed Richcard into the car in the passenger seat.

"You get in the car first, I'll catch up later." Livy said to Richard.

"Okay, Mom!" Fortunately, Richard is an obedient boy. So Livy didn't push him too hard to comply.

"How are you, Livy?"

DEG!

Everything had become awkward since the past incident that left Livy severely traumatized and had reached the stage of depression. Livy actually didn't want to look at the face of the man in front of her. But she wanted to give a warning to the man in front of her.

"What is your purpose in seeing me? If there is nothing to talk about, I'd better go," said Livy firmly. But her wrist was immediately restrained by Arthur.

"Wait, listen to me first. I've been looking for you everywhere, but I haven't found you at all. Where have you been all this time?"

"You don't need to know about my life anymore. Let's just say we never met or knew each other again. This is it and this is the only time we'll ever meet." Livy removed Arthur's hand from her wrist. Livy turned her back on Arthur, but as she was about to get into the car, Arthur suddenly knelt down in front of Livy.

"I'm sorry, Livy. I'm... I'm really sorry for trying to kill our baby back then. I couldn't control my emotions and only vengeance was on my mind. I know that my mistake will never be forgiven. But... I will keep apologizing until you are willing to forgive me, Livy. Please, forgive me," Arthur pleaded hopefully, raising his head to face Livy's eyes.

"I've forgiven you, can you leave my life forever?" Having just said that, Richard suddenly opened the car door glass to call his mother.

"Mom! Let's go home!" Richard pleaded. Meanwhile, Livy was already panicking because she was afraid that Arthur would find out about Richard.

"Who is it, Livy?" Arthur asked.

"None of your business!" Livy immediately got into the car and started the car and drove off. Arthur immediately chased after Livy.

"Livy? Who is she? Is she my child? Livy?" Arthur kept tapping on Livy's windshield but Livy ignored him and continued driving fast.

'I'm sorry, Arthur. I just don't want Ricard to know about our past.' Livy thought.

"Mom, who was that guy?" Richard asked. Livy only gave him a glance and returned her focus to driving.

"No one, just a stranger, dear. Do we want to go straight home or want to buy toys first?" Livy offered to change the subject so that her son wouldn't ask about Arthur.

"Just go straight home, Mom. I'm sleepy."

"Okay, let's just go straight home."

After arriving at a very large and spacious house, Livy was greeted by Mr. Emil and Mrs. Audrey. They had apparently moved into a complex that was directly connected to the highway. The city was very far from where Arthur lived, but on this day Arthur could find Livy at the kindergarten school.

"Richard, you go to your room first. Mom wants to talk to grandpa and grandma." Livy said.

"Okay, Mom." And Richard immediately ran up the stairs because his room was on the second floor.

"Dad, Mom, I need to talk to you. Let's talk inside." Livy said.

"Is Livy there?"

"Never mind, we better go inside first." Mr. Emil said.

They were now in the living room and sitting on the sofa. Livy began to tell her parents about what happened earlier.

"Mom, Dad, I met Arthur earlier," Livy said.

"What? What if..." before she could continue her sentence, Mr. Emil interrupted her.

"I expected this." Mr. Emil then tapped Livy on the shoulder.

"Then... when are you going to reveal everything after all this time? Arthur is Richard's father after all," Mr. Emil tried to come up with a solution so that Livy would no longer hide who Richard's father was. Willson has not been with Livy for a long time because he is focused on pursuing his education again so that he can continue his parents' company.

"Willson also didn't want to marry you after finding out you were pregnant with Arthur's child," said Mrs. Audrey. Livy still bowed her head in confusion.

"But... I'm still afraid that the past will happen again, Father. I just want to make it so that Arthur can no longer humiliate me and torture me like he used to. I'm still traumatized by all those events, let alone curing my own depression in that mental hospital room feels like every day I just want to die, Father, Mother. It's not that I hold a grudge, but to forgive the huge mistake Arthur made to me back then is not easy. I just want to teach Arthur a lesson that losing the person he cares about the most is very painful," Livy explained with her hands already shaking.

"But how long will Richard not know who his father is, Livy?" Asked the mother.

"Let Richard just know that his father is dead."

DEG!

Livy immediately got up from her seat and walked elegantly to her room. Leaving her parents who were still confused by Livy's decision.

Gracia watched as Livy entered the house she had seen earlier. Gracia's desire now is no longer to snatch Arthur. Especially after 5 years of working in London, she has found her heart mate from London. Now all he wants is to beg forgiveness from Livy for helping Arthur to get the power of the Eagle to attack Livy. And Louis also happened to be a werewolf, just like Gracia.

"Are you sure this is the house?" Asked Louis, the name of Gracia's current boyfriend from London.

"I'm very sure, Louis. This is Livy's house, the one I took her husband from. I also caused Livy to lose her baby." Louis, who understood, immediately nodded in understanding.

"Yes, I understand. Let's go inside right away." Louis invited. Gracia nodded instead.

They entered Livy's house and rang the bell.

TING TONG!

CEKLEK!

What a coincidence! It was Livy who opened the door. Livy, who recognized Gracia's face, made a sardonic face.

"What are you guys here for?"

"I..."

BRUGH!

Gracia immediately knelt down in front of Livy and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry, Miss Livy, for what happened a few years ago. You deserve to hate me. Back then, I was the one who took Arthur to the mountain and Arthur gained the power of the eagle demon. Arthur was desperate to avenge himself on you and by gaining that power, Arthur started attacking you and your baby back then. It was all my fault, please, forgive me," Gracia explained. Livy touched Gracia's shoulders and asked her to stand up.

"Look into my eyes. It's all over, my old baby is dead. And now I've got a replacement. I only ask you one thing, please, don't you ever say anything to Arthur about his second child. I just don't want our dark past to repeat itself. That way, I will slowly forgive you," Livy said.

"Alright, I'll keep quiet and never discuss this matter. Thank you for being willing to slowly forgive me, Livy. This way I can rest easy, my boyfriend Louis and I will return to London."

"Ah, I hope you guys get married soon," Livy said.

"Just wish us the best, Livy." Louis said.

"That's for sure."

On the other hand, Arthur was still confused about today's events that happened to him. His thoughts were noisy as he sat on the couch where Livy used to be waiting for him when he came home from work. And now? Even Livy couldn't forgive him. Arthur was like a madman now. The office clothes that were not as neat as this morning, as well as the disheveled hair made the atmosphere even more silent.

"Who is that child with Livy? Is that child my son? Why is Livy hiding him from me?"

"AARRGGH!!! LIVYYY! I'M SORRY!" Arthur shouted, holding his head with both hands.
