Chapter 48 Apologize

Chapter 48 Apologize

Cali, when did you even get the tats. My God son, what happened to you before you were so cute?"

Ma'am Mira's voice leads the silence of the breakfast. As I focus on the scrambled egg which is almost refined I will play with it. Mother Celia put the glass of juice down on my seat and for a moment I raised my eyes again to thank her. I made sure that my eyesight would not pass by others so I just returned it to the scrambled egg that had been crushed.

"Auntie, I'm still cute, right? It's just cuter."

It said windy so I looked up. I saw her playful smile on her lips as she looked at ma'am Mira. My sight fell on the man beside him and I immediately removed it even though his eyes were focused on the glass of water that was gently played with his hands. For God's sake, why are we here to meet again everywhere? Why didn't I think? I hope I don't just agree to stay here.

"I'll prepare the guest room, for you two and your brother." Si ma'am Mira.

"No tita, we'll be staying in the hotel for a while."

His voice ... nothing has changed either. That baritone voice of him that reverbrates through my bones.

"Huh, bro? Not here? I thought you said-"

"Shut up, Cali."

The whole attention was on them, even mine. The argument between the two siblings is heard. Cali snorted and for a moment his gaze passed me and a smirk flashed on his lips. And nodded slowly.

"At the hotel aunt. It's a bit uncomfortable here."

Cali confirming what his brother just said, with his eyebrows furrowing as if what he said meant something else or my mind was just really dirty.

"W-why? Uncomfortable? But there are many rooms and ..."

"Yeah, Cali. And there's the beach and all. It's really your brother's art." Celest's sister growled at Levi. So I watched his reaction. His jaw moved and later realize that the attention was on him. He cleared his throat and looked at Cali again.

"If you want to stay here, then stay. I have to check the hotel." Said emphatically to the brother then sipped from his holding glass.

"Yes, at the hotel. You'll be naughty right away bro." Cali defensively said and ate the bacon on his fork.

"How's Helen?" Sir Constantine said seriously.

"She's fine tito. They're busy with VGH."

"How come it won't be busy ... She should have handed the title to you a long time ago. That's it and instead of resting, she's torturing herself."

Sabat is Ma'am Mira. I bit my lip and looked at Levi waiting for his answers. I realize they were not aware why he was not given the VGH title. It's supposed to be his, and we both know why he didn't accept it. Now that we are gone, is it possible for him to accept that again?

"Cali will be handling VGH, tito."

The table became serious because of what had been discussed. Cali doesn't seem to want to touch their company. But it also doesn't speak out, they seem to be trying to be private at that point in their lives.

"Well, Vida State is doing well as expected. At least you won't be able to handle two more."

Even Sir Constantine. Vida State still? He didn't change even without us? Ava, assuming. The conversation shifted to Ate Celest's fiancé.

Turned out they're colleagues, reason why they meet.Ate Celest and Levi were both young because the Solidad family raised them.

"But Cyreese is an architect, for sure it will be great if she works for you. Cyreese is so good and tops the board."

I just wanted to be eaten by the earth when Ate Celest saw me again. Why does she have to include me? My scrambled egg and I just kept quiet.

"Ate, I'm fine with the company I joined."

And besides, I'm just getting started. I don't expect to be able to handle large projects right away. I just got a license and I'm happy with what I'm getting now. I have left the modeling industry, and I am able to work in the profession I want. That's fine with me.

"Even though. It's a pity that you topped the board, the companies are trying to snatch Cyreese! Why didn't you snatch her?"

He growled at Levi and looked at him even more, his older brother Paul scolded and laughed at him and the others at the table laughed. "Sister, how can you be-"

"Cali, just shut your goddamn mouth."

Levi immediately cuts to Cali. I saw Celest's mischievous smile while sipping through her water, overjoyed at Levi's annoyance.

"That's right, now that I've just remembered why didn't you try in Levi's company hija? Their company's projects are big, I'm sure your portfolio will be good."

Can I just leave the table? It was as if blood had run down my face because of their hot seat on me.

"U-uhm ..." "She's doing well in her company tita, let's not interfere with that." Suddenly the air on the table changed, fortunately and suddenly Ate Celest was fidgeting again and she didn't think of including me in the conversations again.

Soon after, I immediately thought of helping Mother Celia with the cleaning and washing up. Then I went upstairs to the bedroom and locked myself in until noon. I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep because of the cold weather. But now it has calmed down and only cold air is wrapped around.

I woke up because I was knocked on my door because the person measuring my gown was already downstairs. I wandered steadily around the mansion as I descended and was introduced to the gauge.

Wondering if the person I'm thinking of is still here. The mansion seems quite now. I don't know where the people are. Only Ate Celest is here and the guests. Ma'am Mira came down after a few moments, I was done measuring when she came down. I first talked to my sister Celest about things before I remembered to say goodbye to them.

"The Governor will not be able to attend but I heard his son will be his proxy."

Ma'am Mira mentioned to ate Celest while being busy about every single detail of her wedding.

"They will always try to butt in every situation that they will benefit into but when it comes to an event like this they always don't. I pity their son." Sister Celest smiled "I have to agree. I heard their son is not into politics.

He helped charities more often and even took a doctorate course." I just listened to what the two of them were talking about. Charity, I've been wanting to get involved into one eversince but I can't find the timing and opportunity. Someday, maybe.

"Tss. For sure it's just that he also feels guilty about what his parents harbored."

"Celest, you have to watch your words. We don't know their family. We don't have the right to judge. "

Ate Celest bit her lips and smiled awkwardly to her mom.

"My bad."

When I was still in junior high school, the issue of the governorship of Mar De Vena was not new to me. I'm also not familiar with issues like this so I don't pay attention anymore. When I know I don't have enough knowledge and have contributed enough, I don't think of interfering.

There are more things that matter that I am better at and my opinion will be more useful. In the middle of the events, Levi's brother suddenly entered the door, which surprised me, afraid that someone was tailing after him but fortunately he had no one to follow. Our eyesight was quickly adjusted and a playful smile immediately flashed on him.

"Yes, son?"

Ma'am Mira felt immediately. The gauges still murmured because of his presence. If Levi who can almost break the neck of a few, what else can this brother of his habit really break his neck?

"I'll stay here for a while. Bro 'had an inspection in his property."

My aunt nodded and my sister didn't seem to care. I was just anxious and waiting for everything he would say.

"Is it over, Celest? I'm just outside."

Fortunately, I escaped inside because I could not afford to stay in the same place with his brother. I don't know, I just feel like he always means something to me. I just took a walk in the garden and distracted myself while waiting for the time. I can't deny.

Even though I'm bothered by his presence being around, I have to say that I'm glad to see him again after everything. It's also been a few months since it all happened, since I knelt in front of him and begged him to finish what we both had.

That phase of my life was a living nightmare, a nightmare that seemed to never end. Jomar died, but Nadine managed to live. She was under professional help because clearly she was not in the right frame of mind.

My heart is both in sympathy and anger. I am very thankful that they are not two lost but it is still wrong to be thankful that one life was lost. Everyone seemed to blink, almost a month of locking myself in my room. Breach of contract in my agency, because I wasn't able to finish it base on the contract. I don't even know how I got out of Levi's company.

Maybe he himself fired me there, because that's what I asked for, right? My conscience could not bear all that had happened. I feel like I'm all to blame because I'm not aware of it while everything is happening. It's no joke to talk about losing one's life. Nadine lost her child with Justine and it's because of me.

Mariel died because of me. Jomar died because of me. I only blame myself, and I feel to this day I still can't forgive it. I remember the past as if repeated again. The loss of mom and dad and so many people. I was scared, that if I insisted and fought to the end I would not only lose them but also the people I loved. Lourd, Lucy, and him.

Another thing I still can't get out of my mind is Nadine. She mentioned that she's supposed to be Levi's fiance. He said a lot that day, but I just try to forget. I never had a confirmation abouteverything she said, I chose not to. Whether I know it or not, I am still deeply convinced that all this must have happened because of me.

But contrary to that, I told him that it's his fault. I blamed him that it was all his fault. Out of anger I blamed him, just to finish. It was one of those who didn't put me to sleep at night, that he still feels to this day that it's his fault because the truth isn't.

If I go back to the beginning, I still am. If only I hadn't brought myself to him and admitted to him that I wanted him they would have stayed with Nadine. Hopefully it doesn't all happen. I wish I hadn't been a model and I just stayed here in Mar De Vena, living quietly and peacefully. No one will be lost, no one will feel pain.

"How can I apologize?"

I uttered while touching the flower in front of me. I don't want to interfere with him anymore. I don't want to retract what I said. But I also don't want him to feel all that. I noticed it, in one glance I felt it. He's so cold, ruthless and if I'm right he doesn't care about me anymore. "My love, I don't care."

I chuckled faintly.

"You're not sure."
