The Innocent Man (Rampage Bachelor)

She is the most precious person in my life, the source of my joy, the center of my world, and the whole of my heart. The woman of my dreams and the woman I fell madly in love with. My love for her is like the Song of Solomon 8:3; ' I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine ' Her name WAS Armelle Villaflor, 'was' because she's now a part of my past. A part of my past that still hunting me. They said 'let go of the past and move on but damn in hell if I move on! 'I thought forgetting someone means- be at peace with that person and never hate.' but why do I have this feeling that she's my most hated person in the world! 'Never let the past spoil your present and govern your future' The f**k I care? I have come this far... building myself up to have a steadfast unwavering future. And that... just to get back at her for what she did and make her life a living hell. 'The past can't hurt you anymore' Yes. I couldn't agree more with it! But the future surely can! Because every time I look at her, with a smile on her face, I couldn't help but feel a large lump inside my chest. Fuck it hurts! Is this because she's now smiling at someone else? Seeing her looking lovingly at the man was a disgust to me. No, this isn't just right. I'm supposed to be the one by her side right now. Watching her happy in another man's arms is like a curse to me. God, I'm doomed! Because in her past and future I am just her innocent man, seared and branded into the deepest part of her heart and soul. ~•~ All rights reserved || © 2020 by bluefairy1828 | ai montes PROLOGUE Kasalukuyang nagluluto si Cree sa kusina, nakatayo siya sa kitchen island habang naghihiwa ng gulay nang biglang dumating si Kate, ang babae na kasing tigas nang hallow blocks ang katigasan ng ulo. Halata sa mukha nito na mula kahapon pa itong umiiyak, bumuntonghininga siya. "Please Cree, help me just this once!" Her eyes filled with agony and sadness. "No! Stop it Kate, I can't help you. Stop being a bratty!" asik ni Cree sa kanya. "If you can't help me then I will kill myself." Walang pagdadalawang isip na kinuha niya ang kutsilyong nakalapag sa kitchen island and then in an instant she cut her left wrist, napasinghap si Cree sa ginawa nito. "Jesus! Are you crazy? f**k!" Nag-panic na singhal nito kay Kate, kaagad niyang kinuha ang malinis na kitchen towel at inilagay sa palapulsuhan ni Kate, walang tigil ang pagtulo ng dugo kaya mas lalo siyang nag-panic. "Are you crazy? Damn it! I'll bring you to the hospital, let's go." "No! Just let me die." Umiiyak na saad ni Kate, hindi ito gumagalaw sa kinatatayuan. "Hindi solusyon ang pagpapakamatay, Kate! My goodness! Can you please stop being so stubborn and stop acting like a spoiled bratty b***h!" singhal ni Cree kay Kate pero balewala lang kay Kate ang singhal nito, kahit anong hila ang ginawa ni Cree sa kanya hindi siya natinag sa kinatatayuan. "f**k Kate! Alam mo ba kung ano ang hinihingi mong tulong? Alam mo ba kung ano ang magiging kapalit nang lahat nang iyon?" nahihirapang saad ni Cree, parang gusto na rin nitong maiyak. "It means you will no longer a part of this family, Kate. Kaya mo bang panindigan iyon? Kaya mo bang mamuhay sa ibang katauhan?" Malungkot na saad ni Cree, halata sa boses nito ang sakit. "For my freedom, I will sacrifice everything because I'm too tired of his bullshit!" she spat those words acidly. "I told you to wait Kate, just give him time." Nagsusumamong saad ni Cree sa kanya. "Time? Binigyan niya ba tayo ng time para—" Hindi na niya natapos pa ang sasabihin dahil bigla na lang umikot ang paningin niya kasabay noon ang pagbagsak niya, tanging narinig niya na lang ay ang boses ni Cree at ang mga bisig niya na nakapulupot sa nanghihina niyang katawan. Alam niya na kapag nagkamalay na siya she will have a new identity. And she promise she will live her life to the fullest as Armelle Villaflor. At kasabay nang pagtalikod sa tunay niyang pagkatao ay ang pagtalikod nang tunay niyang pamilya sa kanya. ***
