Chapter 308: Her Father''s Confession


    "What am I doing?" Eric sounded in the air confused about his actions while he seriously stared at his


    mobile phone in his hand.


    His mind was upied with the girl wearing a white mask embellished with tiny diamonds on the


    linings. It seemed her beauty would not bepleted without the mask. Eric could not help thinking


    about her. He seemed to go crazy if he would not see her tonight.


    "Uncle! Rosy is here." Ivan''s voice snapped him back to his senses. With his continuous therapy, Ivan


    got very good progress in his behavior. He could speak generously to others and he began to like Rosy


    as well.


    "Hi, Eric!" Rosy came from Ivan''s behind with an overwhelming smile. She seemed to ovee her


    mourning for herte mother.


    "Oh! Sorry, I forgot that you are going to arrive today. Did someone pick you up at the airport?" Eric felt


    very guilty as Rosy texted him the night ago about her arrival. Usually, he personally picked her up at


    the airport but today he was out of his mind. He was longing to see the girl with the mask. She was the


    one in his mind the whole day that he forgot Rosy''s arrival.


    "Humppp! I''d tried calling you but you were too busy talking to someone. I''m really getting jealous,


    Eric!" Rosy answered jokingly. She even acted like she was annoyed with him talking to another person


    on the phone.


    Eric let go of a smirk. He realized Rosy was telling the truth. He was talking with the masked girl earlier.


    He felt guilty.


    "Oh, that''s purely business." He excused himself from embarrassment. Eric nodded as he smirked


    charmingly.


    "Okay... I believe you but why do I get this feeling that you have someone who inspires you?


    Hmmm...your smile is telling me so." Rosymented seeing Eric smiling with connivance with his


    eyes. It was unusual for her to see him smiling with sparks in his eyes.


    Eric stood frozen. He didn''t like someone who caught him with that kind of delight.


    "Oops! Just joking! I forgot that you are happily married now." Rosy quickly refuted just to tease him.


    She wanted to avenge herself for waiting for too long at the airport and she had to call someone from


    the office to arrange another ride for her.


    "Ha..ha..ha.. No one else." Eric faked a softugh. The sparks in his eyes immediately faded away


    remembering Arabe, It was reced with immense guilt. He hated two-timer men but why did he feel


    he was bing one? He had to stop his nonsense thoughts about the masked girl. He loved Arabe


    and he only wanted to stay by her side forever. His heart belongs to Arabe and that would not


    change.


    "Oh! Speaking of... Where is she?" Rosy''s eyes wandered around the mansion. Obviously, she was


    excited to see her friend, Arabe. The mansion felt empty when she left.


    Eric''s expression had be gloomier and Rosy didn''t miss it.


    "Oh, sorry. Cheer up, man! Don''t worry. Since I am here, I will help you get her back. Okay? Leave it to


    me, my friend!" Rosy realized she went too far. Before she went back abroad, she helped Arabe to


    settle in her apartment. She separated herself from Eric. His gloomy expression tells her that he didn''t


    sessfully win her back.


    Eric just smirked. He wasn''t able to feel anything about Rosy''s offer and it made him guiltier.


    "How is everything going? How are you?" Eric averted the topic. It''s been a while since he had to stay


    beside Rosy tofort her. He just went back for a big project negotiation held in Capital Z and also for


    Ivan.


    "Well, still coping." This time, Rosy''s expression turned gloomy.


    "And uncle?" Eric was curious and worried.


    "Never mind him. He deserves every pain and guilt for his actions. I just hoped that he and his mistress


    were the people buried in the ground not my mom." Rosy responded beneath her breath as she


    annoyingly rolled her eyes. She still couldn''t believe that her beloved mother was gone and her hatred


    towards her dad was still very fresh that she could not move on from it.


    Eric could feel Rosy''s pain. They had the same feelings about the situation. He hated his uncle and his


    mistress. That woman with many names. He hated her for stealing money from hispany. And what


    he hated the most is until now, he still didn''t capture her. It pissed every vein he had inside his body. He


    had to find and catch her again. Eric swore to make her suffer in his hand to avenge his aunt Rita.


    "How about we invite Arabe tonight for dinner? Should we call her?" At this time, Rosy was the one


    to avert the topic.


    Eric froze.


    Rosy''s n was conflicted with his n tonight. He knew he just promised to leave the masked girl but


    he could feel a sharp pinch somewhere in his body just thinking of canceling his appointment with the


    girl. Honestly, he didn''t want to. Eric was dying to see her again and he hated himself so much for that.


    "Eric! Eric... Are you with me? Did you hear me?" Rosy saw Eric was absent-minded so she snapped


    him back by snapping her fingers.


    "Yeah... But... I''m sorry. I have a prior business engagement tonight, Rosy. You guys have dinner


    together. I will catch up okay?" Eric responded messing with Ivan''s smooth hair.


    "Yes!" Ivan''s stopped assembling his life-size robot and yelled excitedly.


    "Okay then. Will say your regards to your beloved wife. Since you seemed so busy, I will take Ivan with


    my shopping. Let''s go, buddy! Let''s prepare for our dinner tonight. Let''s have fun without your busy


    boring uncle." Rosy dragged Ivan rolling her eyes at Eric then she left together with the excited boy.


    Eric was left alone. He felt troubled as his guilt was eating him up. Tonight, he had two dinners to


    attend. He had to choose one and he did. Tonight, he chooses the masked girl. He decided to end up


    with whatever kind of affection he had for her. He would apologize to her for his bad behavior towards


    her and then that''s it. He would not see her again. He would end his guilt tonight so he decided to push


    through with their dinner. Tonight would be theirst night together and thest night to see each other.


    After tonight, he would focus on getting Arabe back in his arms.


    Meanwhile, Arabe was holding a gun pointing in different directions per second. It was her first time


    but she was not naive about holding and using it properly as Damien had taught her before for a matter


    of self-defense. She stood up unstabilized with her bruises all over her body. The pain she got was too


    awful but she had to drag herself to get up and move swiftly before Sen. Meyer woulde back and


    the rest of his men. When she thought that she can save herself with the weapon in her hand and just


    run off freely, she was wrong. Her conscience was bugging her to get her father. Though she was


    drowned in all kinds of pain at the moment, she didn''t have the heart to leave her father when she had


    the chance to save him. With the weapon in her hand, she had a 100% chance to help him escaped his


    cell and Sen. Meyer''s hand. Couldn''t afford any moment of dy, she suppressed the pain and tried to


    follow her instinct.


    "Turned around! You all face the wall! Dare to move or I will blow all your heads!" Arabe shouted.


    The other man was limping following her order. The three men seemed afraid of dying as they quickly


    followed her. Arabe was clever enough to take all their weapons from their back pockets and throw


    them away.


    "One move and you will die!" She shouted firmly. Her tone was determined and she was true to her


    words. She was on the verge of her survival. Die or fight. It was the only option she had at the moment.

    When she was about to move to her father''s cell, her temper was tested when one man turned around


    to chase her. Without any second thought, she pulled the gun''s trigger. A loud gunshot echoed in the


    huge warehouse. The man halted and was shocked by the gunshot. He seemed to underestimate that


    a woman like her couldn''t shoot someone. A woman like her has no guts to kill someone.


    After the next second, another gunshot was heard. Arabe shot the ground near his feet making him


    tremble and he quickly turns around raising his hands in the air to surrender.


    "Sorry... I surrender! I surrender! Please don''t kill me." The man cried still lifting his hands facing the


    wall.


    "The next bullet is for your head! " Arabe answered with strictness. Whoever moves will get the next


    bullet! Clear?" She added angrily.


    The three men nodded their heads repeatedly like they were in a race who could respond to her first


    would win. With the tested temper, no one dared to move. They even seemed to hold their breaths and


    avoid blinking not to irritate her again.


    When she reached her father''s cell, she stopped. Her father was holding the steel bars with eyes full of


    worries about what was happening outside. When she suddenly appeared in his sight, his expression


    was troubled. On the other hand, she didn''t like his father''s expression. For her, her father just worried


    about his life. His expression just disgusted her but she had no choice but to follow her conscience.


    She was all enough of him.


    "Damn! Baby... What did they do to you? What happened there? Why are you still here? Didn''t I tell you


    to go away from here and do note back?" Her father said in a panicked manner.


    Her eyes were still full of disdain and instead of answering him, she shot the cell''s lock thrice. The lock


    wrecked out then she kicked it open. The door swung strongly. Now, her father was free, she looked at


    him again with sharp eyes. She had an eye full of resentment. Without any words for him, she turned


    around. She was done with him. As she turned around, she just wished she would not see him again.


    She just wanted to leave the ce. Her father followed her closely.


    When they sessfully got outside the ce, she locked the entrance of the warehouse so she could


    make sure that those men could not follow them again. Then she threw the gun away. It was time for


    them to go separate ways. Without turning around, she started walking in the opposite direction.


    "Baby..." Her father suddenly called her. She stopped but she didn''t turn around. "I know you hated me


    so much and I am very sorry. I... I am not a good father. When Senator found out about our


    rtionship, he tried to kill me. That night, I got shot. I didn''t fake that. When I woke up from thea,


    Alice came to me and told me everything about Trishia. I was shocked and my mind was a big mess. I


    had to protect you all from the Senator. Then Trishia came to me and asked for my help. It was my only


    chance to be a father for her to put up with all my absences in her life. Baby... I am very sorry. That


    time on that hill, I was awake the whole time. I framed you. I didn''t fall into the cliff. You copsed that


    time and someone dropped something in the water to make you believe that I was dead. My stretcher


    rolled down but it was caught by my men down the slope. heard your cries for me. I heard your mom''s


    cries. I felt like a very horrible man at that time but I can''t make Trishia disappointed. I have to make it


    for her as she used me of abandoning her. It was not true but Trishia had closed ears. She only


    believed what she wanted. Trishia all wanted was to have Bill. She wanted you to hate Bill Sky for


    killing me. Trishia wanted you to separate from Bill Sky."


    Arabe continued walking not wanting to hear his nonsense confession anymore. One thing that made


    her relieved was Bill Sky was not the evil in that situation. She immediately felt guilty for ming him


    for the fake death of her father. Somehow it made her angrier toward him.


    Baby... If Baby... I never wanted to hurt you but I just wished you understand me in the future.'' Seeing


    her taking a few steps again he continued his confession.


    Arabe slightly halted but she continued to walk again in her direction.


    "Baby... If it was not too heavy to ask... Could you leave Bill Sky to your sister, Trishia, please?" Her


    dad said showing hopeful responses in his tone.


    At this time, Arabepletely stopped.
