Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

I felt different kind of emotions while he is sharing his story. I didn't know he has to undergo such hardship to prove himself. Nobody believe him cause Zaylee's resemblance to him is so hard to defy.

"Oh my gosh, How is Zaylee? Poor kid. Damn! If I believe in you, I must've saved her earlier. One year is so long for such a kid to suffer." I am so devastated that what I used to believe as good for the kid turned out the opposite.

"She's doing fine. I wanted to adopt her but my aunt personally wishes to adopt her. We try to talk to Zaylee if she wants them to be their parents and she is okay with it. She just wishes to see me regularly. We kinda form a special bond and when her parents are busy, they are letting her stay with me."

I am glad to hear that but I am so disappointed with myself.

"I am sorry." that will not make any changes at all and can't ease his pain anymore but I just want to say it to him.

"I try to contact you the moment I knew everything but when I see your trying to build a life on your own I decided to let you be alone for couple more years. I forced you to be with me when you are very young and I want you to experience life on your own without me controlling you and without me getting in your decisions. But now the time is up. I believe you already been enjoying your life alone. It's time to be with me again. You already prove that you can be successful without me and my influence. You already carved your own path towards success. I am very proud of you. I am always watching you from a far just like how I used to do back when I first met you. I always love you. I tried to ignore and try to let you go but I'm sorry I can't. So please be with me again. I'll go crazy if you will end up with someone else. You’re my sanity"

He kisses me again and look at me with sleepy and pleading eyes.

"I'll be with you. I promise." he smiled at me

"I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry for leaving you when you need me the most. I used to consider people's feelings but I failed to consider yours." I apologized and he shake his head.

"I don't need apologies. I need you. I am sleepy. Promise not to leave me when I fall asleep okay?"

I felt a pang of pain when he said that. He hugged me so tight before closing his eyes. He is trying not to fall asleep because he's scared that I'm going to leave him again.

"Never again" I said as I hug him. I play with his hair and kiss his cheeks.

The next day I woke up feeling a heavy object in my chest. I used my hand to remove it but someone beside me groan in disagreement.

Yeah, I'm with Deus. I open my eyes and look at his peaceful sleeping face. I kiss his cheeks and slowly get out of bed. I badly need to use the bathroom. I peed and fixed myself. While brushing my teeth my tummy churned. I'm hungry.

I quickly washed my face and go outside the room. I checked the door and it open. I angrily marched at my brother's room. I enter without permission.

"I hate you Kai" I shouted at him and he laughed.

"Hate? You should thank me lil sis. Tss stop pretending you didn't like what I had done. I saw you hugging him this morning." he stick his tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

My eyes get a sight of their bags and luggage.

"Are we going home? Is that today?" I asked forgetting that today is our last day. I somehow felt sad that Deus and I just got okay and I have to go home. I want to spend more time with him.

"Where's my phone?" Kai suddenly throws it at me. I try my best to catch it but no luck. It falls on the ground. I'm just glad it didn't break.

"Kai!!!!" I annoyingly shout at him and he just ignore me. I know he is hiding his laugh.

I pick up my phone and check my emails and messages. There are a lot of emails about work. I asked them to order me breakfast. I sit in their bed while I answering all the emails.

"Where's your sister?" Deus suddenly appeared looking so lost and worried. His breathing is unstable like he just went for a run. His hair is still messy. He just got out of bed; I think.

Kai pointed at me. Ali is giggling and squealing on the side.

Deus walk towards me. He is scratching the back of his neck. He quickly enveloped his arms around me.

"I thought you left me again" he said sheepishly smiling.
