Sold To The Wicked Him

[With the numbers of criminals being caught in the raid, the start of this month seems to be full of surprises. We have here our first lady, fresh and alive. On behalf of the palace, we hear her words about what happened]

Many people are watching the news, even those that are on the street can see the live report and statement of the first lady. The only daughter of the president.

[I am Minerva Olfara, daughter of Ismael Olfara, the president of our country, and I am here to offer my deepest apology for fooling everyone about my death]

Crowds can be heard cheering. Still can’t believe about what they saw right before their eyes. Some seem to get a glimpse of what really happen and some are still clueless on why he did such thing.

[With our country losing ray of hopes, my father permitted me to work behind the face of the public. And in order to not let them have a hind about the plan I have made to caught each one of them, I faked my death]

Explaining what happened, it seems like the world stops just to hear hew words. Everyone was eager to know about everything. After all, big shots of the illegal business are caught and was under the custody of the army with the biggest security above all.

[And this wouldn’t be in fruition if not for the help of those that sponsored the plan. I would like to thank the Lazarus, the Klein, as well as the Clarington for helping me achieve this impossible thing]

While sitting on his chair, Agustus brings Menandro a cup of tea.

“It seems like even the young master helped in the plan of Ms. Olfara”

He mumbled as Menandro took a sip in his drink. A small smile crept on his face,

“Indeed, I never know that he would be friend with Ismael’s daughter. To think that they would meet because of Lea… she is surely a blessing for us… Agustus”

Nodding his head, they did help in the plan as they also sponsored the project of Mira with both money and materials needed but even though they have lots of money, it was a great move for Mira to get Aiden’s help. After all, he was also loaded after many events that raised his funds.

“Speaking of Lea, I haven’t heard about her”

“She was out of the country, with silphia going with her”

A slight frown can be seen on his forehead.

“Sylphia, the daughter of Klein?”

“Yes master”

“So it is true, they are quite close”

Looking at his phone that vibrates, it was his son.

‘To think the day would come where he would be the one to first call me’

“Yes? What is it? Aiden?”

[You also sponsored Mira?]

“Yes”

Putting down his cup, he wasn’t sure why he asked something like that.

“Are you not aware of that?”

[She never told me anything about that…]

Laughing, even though Menandro can’t see Aiden, he knew that he was brushing his face with his palm.

[That Mira…]

“Well, nothing would change whether you know it or not. But I am lucky you are safe”

Even Agustus was looking at him with a questionable look. As he knew very well that even Menandro not know that Aiden also sponsored Mira’s plan.

[And she eve told you that I was there… just how much did she tell you?]

A loud laugh escaped his mouth. Even Augustus wonders, but soon he understand what Menandro is up to.

“Just as I thought, you go with her. Lucky nothing bad happens to you”

There he saw how the phone call ended. But the laughter he had on his lips still remains.

‘That brat, he really is a grown up person now… Claudia, he is capable of so many things already… but in our eyes, I know he will always be a child…’

…

“Lea, what would you do if you see that Brylle again?”

“Isn’t he in the hospital?”

She learned about what happened to Brylle, but even after all of that she never once meet him. The pain she had felt after losing Lilith as well as her memories coming back, she can’t help but realized that Brylle fooled him. and on top of that, he was Paul’s brother…

“Yes, but you know he also leave not so long ago”

Walking in the pile of snow, they are wearing thick jackets. The weather surely is this heavy. It’s been a month since they went here. And after all those weeks they are together, Lea can’t help but notice something strange about Sylphia.

“I am not sure. It is not that there would be a changes if I met him. But I hope he lives a good life…”

A small smile escaped her lips. Indeed, no matter what happened, the fact will reamin the same that Brylle is someone that will always have a part on her heart. He wishes him nothing else but happiness and all

Shaking her head, there was a bitter smile on her lips. Enough for Sylphia to see it even though she was having a scarf.

“Am I bad? To not give justice to those people that died because of him?”

asking that question to Sylphia, it made her shake her head not agreeing with what she just said.

“No… you are just… too kind”

Shaking her head, Lea knew she isn’t.

“I am not sure”

After all, is there a good person that would bring harm to others? That is what she is thinking of.

“Lea… I have something to tell you”

Stopping on their walk, she knew that this day would come. Where Sylphia would tell her something. Its been bugging her ever since they arrived here. but she can’t push Sylphia to tell her what that was.

“I am sure you would be mad at me… but yesterday, the one I asked my dad arrived. I want to tell this to you sooner but I can’t find the right timing… Lea…”

Looking at her, she can see how nervous Sylphia was. Contrary of what she usually is.

“Your father… is Alejandro Kruie… right?”

Now that she have her memories back, all things about her was so clear on her mind. And that name that she just said is indeed… something that she knew too well

“Um.. yes… how did you know?”

Fidgeting, Sylphia bowed her head, so low that Lea was confused why she did that.

“I am sorry. Your father saved me when I was a child… and because of me… he… he died”

It was something she never expect to hear. As if a closed chest was onced again opened. Out of the blue, someone would tell her about that matter, Lea does not know what she would feel right now.

“Sorry… Lea. I didn’t know… I became friends with you because you looks so nice. And cute… and as the fate lets it be, I just learned your surname was Kruie. I look at it since that name was familiar. And it was… just as what you heard. Your father… didn’t leave you just like what you would tell me… I am the reason why he did not came back… sorry… Lea…”

Confused by a those sudden things being told to her, Lea can’t help but wonder how the world lets it be.

“Sylphia… can I have some time alone?”

Forcing a smile, she knew that this would happen. But she was ready for this. Since what she confess isn’t something simple. Slightly nodding her head, she remembers something.

“Wait, before that… I want to give you something”

Waving her hand, a man came holding a paper bag. It was bag that was sealed inside a thick transparent bag.

“That is your father’s belongings. My father keep it safe for years… I think it would be the right thing to do to bring it back to you”

And there she saw how tears started to fall from Lea’s eyes soon as she saw that keychain hanging on the bag. It was the very keychain that she won in the arcade that one time when she was a child.

“It was indeed… father’s…”

Her shaking hand then reaches for the bag that Sylphia handed. And her mind can’t help but be reminded of that good old days. Those times that she did not even know would last before she ever knew it.
