Kapitel 26: Proposal
The calmness of the wind softly brushed Reese's skin as she ran around. It felt like the wind was whispering at Reese's ears.
"Sorry, I caught up with you, Rebecca."
Reese was startled to see Kier running beside her who caught up with her just now.
"Please don't call me that." Malamig na wika ni Reese at binilisan pa ang pagtakbo.
Finding everything about her strength was something Reese got excited. Every single strength that was hidden up until the day she stayed was all discovered and Kier trained her on how to use it.
It's been already five months ever since Reese decided to stay and get herself trained. She already left the world she used to have.
A vampire, huh? The idea of being a vampire never crossed Reese's mind. It was dumb of her not to realize it.
"C'mon, Rebecca. What are you spacing out for?"
Reese was surprised again to see Kier beside her.
"Shut up." Malamig na wika ni Reese.
Reese tsked and a smirk crept from Kier's lips.
Hindi pinansin ni Reese ang ginawang pag-ngisi ni Kier, pero kaagad na pinatid ni Reese si Kier at huminto rin si Reese sa pagtakbo nang mapatid ito.
Reese expected Kier to fall and trip on the ground, but he did not. Instead, he got back from his feet.
Hindi na hinintay pa ni Reese na pagalitan siya ni Kier. Kaagad na tumakbo na pabalik si Reese sa hut at kaagad na sinalubong si Butler Sue.
"Young lady…" Bati ni Butler Sue sa kanya.
Dumeretso papasok si Reese at tiningnan ang buong paligid. She stayed at this hut for five months, this is where her new life was formed.
Reese accidentally touched the ring on her finger. She unconsciously looked at her ring and a sad smile crept on her lips.
Severus might not want to see her anymore. She left without any single word, she left him clueless and it would probably leave a big shame on the Lim family's name.
"Still holding onto that ring?"
Reese was startled when Kier suddenly spoke from her behind and all Reese could do was to face him and stare at him.
"Is it wrong to still hold onto this ring?" Reese asked as she sat on the unoccupied wooden chair.
"Nothing good will give you when you still stick on that ring." Kier said, "Don't try to follow your father's footsteps, Reese."
Nanatiling tahimik si Reese nang bigkasin ni Kier ang ama niya. It was insensitive of him to compare her and his father, she doesn't even want to call him father. Walang ama na gustong patayin ang sariling anak kapalit ng buhay ng kanyang yumao na ina.
Reese's father's obsession turned everything upside down. She experienced torture from the family who unwillingly took her in, was used until she's no long of use, she also learned the meaning of hatred and luck after all the mess she's been through.
If her father learned to let go of her mother's death, everything might have changed and it would not have been this messy.
"I know what you're thinking, Reese." Nakangising saad ni Kier. "Vampires can't read minds, but I can easily see yours through your expressions."
Reese blankly looked at Kier. "Don't ever address him as my father. He wanted me dead and here you are, telling me not to go in the same direction as him." Seryosong wika ni Reese at napakuyom ng kamao. "If he wants me dead, then I'll wish him the same too. Uunahan ko na siya bago ako ang unahin niya."
Reese's tone was thick and was enough for Kier to get all freaked out. Saying things like it's easy to kill a vampire with a higher rank than her, it is completely impossible but in order to change everything, she has to do it.
She has to kill her own father who wants her dead.
"You should really throw that ring away." Kier changed the topic.
Reese looked at her ring and looked at Kier after. "You already brought me here without my consent, but this time I won't let you take the things I have. This is mine, Kier."
"But isn't it meaningless to carry something like that when you're not really wedded to him at all?"
Tila ba tumigil ang mundo ni Reese sa sinabi ni Kier. It was something unexpected, it was something Reese did not think of.
Reese only looked at Kier, lifeless. She froze as soon as she realized that fact. She was never adopted, she only grew up in that family, but she never belonged to it.
"You were never registered under the Chen's family. You were never married to Severus. You were never his lawful wife."
Reese clutched her hands to fists, but she slowly loosen it up and gave a tired sigh.
She looked at the ring at her finger and she slowly looked at Kier.
"Alam ko. I am well aware, Kier." Mahinang wika ni Reese at napansin ang tahimik na pagpasok ni Butler Sue.
"Then if that's the case…" Kier stood up in front of Reese and Reese was quite confused with what Kier was doing.
"What are you —"
"Why don't you marry me instead?"
