Sold To The Wicked Him

‘Why do he want to hug me?’

Looking at him, Lea knew that it would bring him much sadness if she said no. But something in her heart wants to laugh. For some reason, after going in this place and after she meet Aiden, there are things that she cant explain. As if… there is something weird happening in her mind.

“Ah, now that I remember, I have to go since I have an urgent meeting to attend to”

Menandro then stand up. Slightly smiling at the sight of his son acting like a child. He even gestures the servants with his gaze.

With just that, no other person was left in the dining hall other than the two.

‘Oh Claudia, oh Claudia, our son is acting… like a cute puppy in front of her’

Even Augustus who is a long time butler in the house can’t believe that the young master he knew would speak that way.

He always gives cold shoulder to everyone. But when it comes to Lea, they all knew it, without a doubt, Lea already had a soft spot on his heart.

‘But I wonder… why is she with Brylle… when he claims he isn’t Lea but her twin…’

Shaking his head, he was surprised when Augustus make a forced cough.

“Yes?”

“The purchase item has arrived, master”

“Oh that? good… when I am just thinking of what might it be… lets go quick. I need to know what is the plan of my dead nephew”

‘Paul…’

…

“Are you a fucking idiot? Where is he? Where the fuck is he???”

Kneeling in front of him, two guys are bowing for their lives. Paul is currently holding a gun on his hand. One wouldn’t dare anger him. for in just on click of his finger, their life would surely end.

But even if he don’t pull it they knew full well how life would not be as easy as before. If they are living in a hell, it would be much worst.

“I apologize-”

“Apologize… APOLOGIZE?”

He sway his hand wanting to throw anything. But as the place was empty, he had nothing to throw.

“Do you think a mere apology would suffice?”

Why is he mad? What angered him? even the two person kneeling don’t fully know why he is that mad. He just can’t find Lui. Their coworker as well as friend.

“Give me your phone”

“Yes?”

“I said give me you fucking damn phone!!”

Hands shaking he did not dare do anything that would make the mand boil in anger. But with his clumsy hand, he almost made the phone fall.

‘Idiot… I am a real idiot!’

He said begging for mercy. Wishing all the gods and statues he can ask for help. Wishing and hoping for a miracle that he would just let go of them.

“Where the hell is that fucker?”

The phone then rings, it rings and echoed all over the room.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

‘Please Lui, answer your phone. I don’t want to die here!’

And as if it is a miracle, someone answered.

“Where the fucking hell are you?”

A smirk then escaped his mouth.

“Be here in an hour. or else I will shoot this two dead”

Ending the phone call throw it back to the owner. But before he even hold it with his hands, a gun shot was heard. There was a hole just right in front of him.

Shivering out of fright, he doesn’t know why but he feel like something bad will surely happen.

‘Lui… please… come and save us…’

“Tie this two up”

“Yes sir”

“They want to play with me so bad huh…”

Glaring at the air, no one knows what is going on in his mind. No one would even dare look at it. For just his glare would make you hold onto your life so tight.

“I will show them the proper way of playing”

…

“Why… so sudded?”

Lea mumbled as she can’t look at Aiden.

“I… just want to. It is unfair you know…”

‘Unfair? Wait, is he talking about how his father hug me yet I didn’t hug him?-‘

Suddenly freezing, she look at Aiden.

“Because I hug your father?”

‘How did I even know that he is his father… when none told me he is?’

Lost in her mind she was surprise to hear a faint yet honest words.

“Funny, right?”

‘So he is…’

“Aiden…”

Staring at her, she can’t find the right timing to say this. After all, he was looking at her as if he was waiting for a yes as an answer.

‘What is wrong with him? really? Why… does he want to hug me like….’

“Alright… sure but”

Not even waiting for what her condition is, he hugged her as if he would lose her.

“Hey wait…”

Her feelings are confusing her. She knew very well how Brylle loves her and yet here she is, letting other man hug her.

‘It is not as if I am doing something bad… or am i?’

But she can’t tell what really is happening. Enough for her to think that maybe something is wrong with her.

‘Am I turning crazy??’

“Lea… how have you been?”

He uttered. Making her wonder why he asked.

‘Just what am I exactly to him? and… maybe he is just confusing himself thinking I am his wife… wait is he-‘

Feeling sorry for him, she can’t help but feel bad about his situation.

‘Just what happened to him and my twin… judging by how he treats me, surely he feels bad… really bad when he loss his wife…’

Patting his back. She replied…

“I am doing fine… i didn’t had a hard time since Brylle helped me-”

There was a small scowl she heard when she blur out that name.

‘Just as I thought, the two of them are really not in good terms. But.. I don’t know why they aren’t close. Brylle is kind, and so does Aiden. What is… the reason why they can’t be good to each other? Is it really hard for them to get close?’

“Is that so?”

“Yes”

Releasing on the hug, she never saw his face as he quickly turn his back at her.

“And how about you? Will you be alright?”

“I am trying”

“… I know you can. I know you are kind too which is why… I am sure things will certainly be good somehow”

Trying to cheer him up, strangely she feels like she said something her mind wont let her agree.

‘Did I somehow speak the wrong words? But I really think he is kind… and I am not too sure but I believe not all bad things would stay like that. Things will be good eventually…’

Suddenly hearing words she can’t help but hear…

“Yes… everything… will be good eventually”

A picture of a person then appears on her mind.

‘Grandma…’

It was the first time she feels like her heart would burst. Bot knowing that the very man in front of her feels the same way.

‘Good… kind? Hah… maybe this is really it. I am not good nor kind… maybe this is the karma I had for those actions I have done… things will be good eventually? I wonder… I wonder if it would really be… when you are here with me yet, that man is in your mind’

Hands forming a fist, he can’t help but let out a faint laugh.

‘Idiot… idiot me to think things would eventually be good. I am the one who is in the wrong. If only I am a bit better than who I am, then none of those would ever happen… then maybe you won’t be happy with him but… with me…’

Realizing things at the very end of the day, he knew too well that he have lots of regrets. But even so, he can’t help but feel like an idiot to still keep on doing things he would regret.

‘Why… why should it be like this… do I really have to lose them first before I…’

Biting his lips, he closes his eyes trying to calm himself down but failed.

“You can leave… just… let me stay right here for a moment”

Soon as he heard the sound of the door closing, he knew that something in his heart feels so empty.
