Chapter 8 Her Dark Past

Hailey's POV:

I slam the door of my office and sit on the swivel chair. My jaw moves aggressively while glimpsing at the plain wall.

That woman always testing my patience, The nerve of her!

Just from the start I know why she came back, I know her nicely but pity her I'm not going to let that happen. She's the one who created the devil inside me and I'm going to make sure that she will suffer in my bare hands.

I remain glaring to the wall as if it's My Devil Mom, I wanted to slap when we first met. I want her to remember what she all did to my life. I want her to suffer more the way I suffered back then.

She came back as if she's innocent? F*ck her, then. Call me devil, b*tch, or anything. I'm going to be proud of myself once you call me like that Because that's the new me.

I wanted to see how I changed because of their witch attitude. I wanted to laugh at her face when I saw her expression, she looks so shocked. She's surprised because I changed. She's surprised because I treat her differently.

The way she never thought I can.

I caught My Secretary open the door, He went near to me and place a mineral bottle on my table. I took a glance at the mineral bottle and open it.

"You seem so mad, Ms. Selveria" My breathes were so heavy before I drink the water directly. I shook my head while still glancing at the wall. I need to calm myself, And I know I'm good at controlling my emotion but it's just she's that evil to the point that all that she did to me came back in my mind again.

I will never forgive her-I will never forgive them for what they did to me.

"Ms. Selveria" He breaks the silence between us that's why I glance at him and raise a brow. He's looking at my hand. My brows furrowed and glance at where he's looking at. I instantly place the bottle on the table when I almost break it.

I breathes heavily and leaned on my swivel chair.

"Do you need to go out, Ms. Selveria?" I open my eyes and glance at him. His suggestion is good but. I glance at the papers I need to do, then I sighed.

"Seems that you're distracted now to do the papers. You need to go out first, have some fresh air inside. I will go with you, Ms. Selveria" That sentence made me glance at him directly.No one ever in my life ask me like that. I'm always alone.

Not in myself, I stand up to follow his suggestion.

"Where are we going?" My Secretary furrowed his brows while glancing at me. I'm the one who's driving and he's on the shotgun seat. I have a single glance at him before I focus on the road.

"In Bar? You said I need to breathe? It's my home" Stating a fact, Since then, I consider the bar as my home. I experienced happiness there, I became happy. I encountered a lot of people that I enjoyed. There, I met my b*tches, Vera and Angel.

Honestly, Bar is the only place I know the best for me when I have problems. Party, the party is the one who's giving color to my life. Liquors were the things that can calm me and the only way to forget my problems. Men and S*x was the only one who's giving me happiness.

When I got alone, they are the only ones who cheered me up, who became my friends in life. That's why I can say that Bar is my home.

I stop the car when we arrived at the Bar. I smiled while looking outside, the lights were open, the b*tches were dancing on the dancefloor. The Bar has up and down, the upper part has wall glass that's why they can see what's happening inside but the down part, which is the first floor is t a wall glass.

The Bar is soundproof also that's why people outside won't bother by the loud of music, it's an Exclusive Bar owned by Vera.

I hold the handle door and I'm about to open it when he stops me. I glance at him and arches my brows.

"What?" I asked and he opens the door of his side. tsk. He turns around and he's in front of me now.

"Let's change our seat, I'm the one who's going to drive" My brows furrowed while glancing at him. Is he didn't recognize that we're here already. Why does he still need to drive?

I let out a sigh and just give her my keys before I turn around and seat on the shotgun seat.

"Where are we going?" Just like what he asks me, I asked him back when I'm not familiar with this place.

Well, the only familiar to me was the Place where the bars were located and no other than. He didn't answer me that's why I just keep quiet and watch the trees outside that we're passing by.

We travel for half of hour before the car stopped. Probably, It is the place he said that I can breathe?

I look around still not going outside. There were so many trees and there I noticed that we're in the sea. I think it's boring, better if they have a party here?

I glance at him

"You know what? I guess my idea is much better, Just turn it around. I can breathe in that more-

I halt in talking when go out not uttering a word.

The nerve!

He opens the door for me but I just raise my brow

" Do you think it's a good idea, In Sea? I think not-

"Let's go" He cut my words and just dragged me to go out. Did he forget that I'm still her boss? duh.

No one can do that to me. I put his hands away from mine and his brows furrowed and glance at me.

"I can walk alone, Don't drag me!" I walk first and look around. My feet carried me to the seaside. I let out a heavy sigh and stop, I was stunned while looking at the sunset. It's my first time going here and to see the beauty of nature. I remain looking at the sunset, Why my heart is calming? My energy went down and go back to zero. I sit on the sand don't care who can see me like this. I feel like I became weak again, and I don't like that.

I suppress my emotion when I felt that he's in my back.

"Now, tell me. How are you feeling?" He uttered but I remained quiet, I look in the wave of the sea, it looks so calm but it's dangerous. He sits beside me and lets out a heavy sigh.

"I can see the big difference between us. You're going to the bar when you need to breathe when you have problems not like me when I have a problem I will just go here and I can feel that breeze is hugging me. The Naturel comfort me." I found myself watching him talk. He glances at me that's why we're looking at each other.

"If you think that Liquors, men, and the party can solve your problem then you're wrong. They will help you to forget your problems temporarily not permanently. If you're gonna say that in front of me, I will think that you're weak. Why do you need to drink liquors, be with men, throw a party to forget? As far as I know, only the weak people are doing that. Why don't you face your problem? I thought you're strong? Strong people will never run away from the problem. When you're tired then rest but always keep in mind that people rest not to stop but it's because they want to have energy again to face and fight for tomorrow.

Restart your mind again by communicating with nature. Let the cold breeze comfort and hug you until you awaken in all what's happening and you just found yourself clear in mind and stronger enough to face the problem"

I avoid his gazes and glance at the sunset. I found myself sharing my past with him. The thing that I never did to anyone. I don't know but I felt comfortable talking to him, one of the things that I can't understand to myself.

"I'm not like this before, The old Hailey was kind, understanding, loveable but at the same time, the weakest person in the family. I always obeyed my Mom's rules and anything that she says. I love my sister so much, I always give her what she wants. My younger sister was spoiled by My Mom that's why I obeyed what she said also before My Mom be mad at me even I'm her true daughter and My Sister was only adopted but I didn't mind that, As long as I'm with my Dad, my Dad never let me feel and treat how Mom treats me but just like what I said I'm good not until this happens.

-Flashback-

All my life, I never felt this way. I smiled genuinely while glancing at the roses that my suitor gave me. He's almost a year now courting me and I'm currently 18 years old. My smile faded when My Sister opens the door of my room and glance at me annoyingly.

" So the rumors were true? Is it from Jayden?"She went closer to me and get the roses that I'm holding. I glance at the roses that she's holding right now.

"Yes, I'm sorry" I glance at the floor, I know My Sister likes Jayden so much but it's just I know in myself that I love Jayden. Even I don't know what I'm going to do.

"How dare you! No way, you're not going to be Jayden's girlfriend. Do you understand? Only me have a right to be Jayden's girlfriend!" I panicked and glance at her breaking the roses that Jayden gave to me.

"Please, don't do that, Almira" The roses broke into pieces and I feel like my heart broke into pieces too while I'm staring at it. She pulls the collar of my dress and went closer her face to me.

"You know what will happen once you didn't obey me, Am I clear? Once I heard the news that you became his girlfriend. I told you, Mom will be mad at you!" She said that makes me cry on one side. I don't know what to do, I'm sure Almira will tell Mom, she's true to her words and I'm afraid that Mom will be mad at me.

But even that thoughts make me feel insane, I found myself hugging Jayden.

"Thank you for this Happiness, Hailey. I can't believe that you answered yes after a year" He uttered and I hugged him tightly. My tears are streaming down my cheeks. My yes to him have doubts, afraid and happiness. I'm nervous that Almira will find this out and tell Mom.

I caught Almira on one side, she's with her friends. I let go of the hug when she glared at me. I'm in panicked when Jayden kiss my hands that made her furious. I glance at Jayden and he's smiling at me sweetly. I smiled back when he hugged me again. I noticed that Almira wasn't there already which made me nervous.

"I love you, Hailey"

"I-I love you too"

I'm right. Mom finds this out and she's fuming mad at me. She even called me a b*tch and I didn't even consider my sister's feelings.

"Why I can't choose myself, Mom?Why I can't choose myself even just for now. Do you guys consider my feelings too? Mom! Do you forget? I'm your true daughter and not her-

"Don't you dare talk to your sister like that! You are such a bad daughter and sister! I never love you the way I love your sister so don't talk to her like that!"

I cried and cried, I'm here on one side of my room again, crying alone. Where are you, Dad? He's always on business trips that's why I don't have someone here who can hug me. But what can I do? I love my family so much that's why I can't be mad at them.

I keep myself in the room. I will go to school and directly to my room after. I don't want to see Mom and My Sister, It just makes me get hurt.

The door of my room open again and Almira appeared.

"Break up with Jayden or else I will make your life more than hell," She said but I didn't answer her. She throws me an envelope, My brows furrowed while I'm looking at it.

"Open it, b*tch" I followed what she said, I open the envelope and I got stunned when I saw three pregnancy tests and it's all positive. I even read the papers that evident that she's pregnant.

I was stunned when I saw her name on it.

"You're pregnant?" I asked and can't believe it, I glance at her tummy. I can't believe that I will be a Tita already. I excitedly went near to her. I can't do anything if she's pregnant. It's not mistaken but It's blessings just like what our professor told me.

She's only 18 years old. We have the same age but I'm older in a month. What can I do? It's happened already.

"Jayden is the father" She added which made me stunned. She grinned at me.

"If you're not believing ask your boyfriend what happened 2 weeks ago in the bar"

I didn't believe her but when I heard it in his mouth. I think my world rock. My Sister and My boyfriend cheated on me. My tears are streaming down my face.

"Choose her, She's pregnant and You will be a father now. Congratulations"

I didn't go out of my room for one week, two and weeks and until it reached months.

But I got stunned when Almira told me these words. I can't believe that My Mom and Sister can be killed. My whole myself is shaking while glancing at her. I feel disgusted.

"I'm not going to let you two be together, happy while I'm suffering. I let him impregnate me but guess what? He still chose you. I think what we just did was right. We hired men and then, shoot " She grinned while looking at me before she goes out of my room

I lock the door and throw all the things I have in my room. I felt so weak and crying again. My heart was beating so fast while I'm throwing my things. I throw my pillows even my blanket and bedsheets on the floor, My room looks a mess but I don't care. I get Jayden's shirt and hugged it in one side, I cried and cried again. I can't believe that they can do that to me.

I heard the knocks on my door but I didn't open it not until I heard Dad's voice. I try to crawl on the floor because I don't have the energy to stand up now. Dad looks around when I open the door, he knelt on the ground and hug me tightly.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm just now. Dad is now here, shh"I hugged Dad tightly

" Dad, why do they're like that to me? I'm her true daughter but it feels like I'm not"I mumbled while crying. He made me face him

"Sweetie, listen. I know you have a good heart and I only have one favor, please don't you ever do what they did. Just let them, sweetie"

"Dad! It was my boyfriend. They kill my boyfriend" He caressed my face

"But I love your Mom so much and also your sister. I know you love them also. Please promise me, sweetie" I breathe hard while looking at Dad. I can't believe him! But I felt weak, Dad is right. I love them so much to the point that I can't do anything.

"Dad.."

"Fine, But Dad please I don't want to see them anymore. That's the only favor I want" I am pleased and he kisses my forehead.

"She's not your true mother, And Almira is her true daughter, sweetie. Your mother got died when she gave birth to you." I was stunned while glancing at Dad.

I try to make myself strong and I'm in the stage of recovering when I saw Dad lying on the floor. I run away from him and got stunned when he's holding a bottle of medicine. He suicide...

My Dad just died and I can't believe this. Almira and her Mom was the only one who I can blame. Is it because of them! Dad got depressed and I can't believe that the only people comforting me just lost.

I will make them pay at the right time, I swear.
