Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"I'm sorry. Sorry" he sincerely whispered as tears plummeted on his green eyes. 

His words added salt to my wound. He knows everything and didn't say anything to me. He is continuously wiping my tears like he can ease my pain by doing so.

"I'm sorry I should've known that they are here. I didn't know"

If it happened that he knew, they will still keep it as a secret? They will still hide it and make a fool out of me? How can they do this to me?

I heard the door open. Nayana come rushing to me.

"Ellie" she rubbed my back "Sorry, darling let us explain please" she begged

I want to listen but not now. I am sick of lies and everything. I immediately stand up and walk away. 

I want to be alone. I don't want them near me.

"Ellie Please" I heard her cry out to me but I came to the point where I don't want to even be on the same room with them.

Tres run after me and assist me. I am trying to push him away but he insisted. I think I'll let him stick with with for a while or I'll get insane alone.

"Love" Deus voice echoed in the hallway but who cares. I didn't turn my back and act deaf.

Love? No you don't.

You don't love me!

If you really do, why did you do this to me?

You lied.

I am hurting Deus. 

"Get me out of here" I begged Tres

He turn his back to look at his brother for awhile. I though he is going to choose him but I am glad he hold my hand and guide me to the elevator. I saw Deus running after us but too late.

We went out the building and entered his car. He drive as fast as he can just to let me get out of the company premises. That place is suffocating. 

After almost an hour of driving, I am no longer crying but I still feel so awful. My mind is full of questions.

"Who is she?" I asked Tres with my an hopeful eyes. I know that he knew. It will kill me for sure but I need to hear it. I need to confirm if it really is his daughter.

I heard him sigh as he remained silent while driving.

"Who is she?" I asked again. When he ignored me again, my emotion rise up again.

He doesn't want to talk? He will remain silent for his brother? Just what the fuck!

"Stop the car" I ordered him.

I only needed to be away from the Cavelli Empire. To be away from Deus and now that I finally am, I want to be alone. 

He didn't budge and just continue driving. I hate the act that they are on this together. Their whole family make me look like a fool.

I want to be mad. I want to loathe them but I just can't. They are my family for the past several years. I know they love me. I felt it. I saw it.

How can they do this to me though?

"I said, stop the car Tres!!!" 

I saw how he panicked with the way I shouted at him. He never saw me mad.

"Calm down Heaven" he tried to look at me with apologetic eyes for awhile but he need to go focus on the road again or we'll both end up dead. 

"I'm away from your brother now. I don't need you anymore" I noticed how his grip tightens on the steering wheel when he heard those words from me. 

I feel bad too but I can't think straight. All I know is that I am hurting and I want to leave. I want to be alone. I want to run from them.

"I won't allow you to get out from this car." he said with a gritted teeth.

"And who are you to tell me what to do? You all are a bunch of liars. Are you guys happy that you made a fool out of me?" I am sobbing again.

There's no way I can move on from this. It's unbearable. I don't want to believe that this is happening. 

"Please, this is not what you think okay?" he tried to touch me but I shove his hand away

I am holding my whole face with both of my hands while crying. 

"I hate myself for being gullible." I mumbled in between sobs

"I will pull over but I will not let you go. I will try to explain things. I can't take to see you crying like that. It kills me seeing you like that " he park his car beside the road.

He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for me. He hugged me as I cry my heart out to him.

"I already love him Tres. How can he do this? How? He fucking have a child?" I am throwing punches at him when his brother should be the one receiving it

"Hush, Calm down" he smoothly pats my head. He lets me divert my anger to his chest. He willingly receive all the punches and I hate him more because of that. He is so nice that I can't just be mad at him for too long.

"He is a fucking liar!" I shout with all my heart. He didn't say anything but instead just hug me and keeps on whispering sweet words to me.
