Chapter 83: Care or Conscience?
Vishiea’s POV
I finally went back to my old life. Pretending as if nothing had happened in the palace.
That will be the last time I will go there and I know Lucian won't be disturbing me anymore. I have already done too much and he should respect my decision.
After I left the palace I feel relieved that there's no reason now to go back there. My life is great now and I just wish I would continue to live like this.
“You’re not with yourself," Dylan suddenly showed up. I look at him confused.
“No, I am not. I’m just thinking about something.” I told him and sat on the chair. I am actually thinking about Nathan’s confession that day.
We grew up together but I never felt that he liked me. But he already admits it.
I am surprised though I already have the feeling that he would actually say those things.
“Thinking about Darius?” Dylan asked. I looked at him but his face was serious. He doesn't even hesitate to utter his name. I know Dylan hates him after learning the truth about what happened to us.
“No, I’m not thinking about him” I told him and looked for something to do. He let out a deep sigh. He's not convinced.
“I heard he finally recovered. Thanks to you” He said and I heard a sarcastic voice with it. I look at him. What's wrong with him? He wasn't like this before.
“That's none of my business Dylan. I’ve done my part” I said firmly but he just looked at me. I am confused by his actions right now.
I know he doesn't want me to be there but I have already decided. Besides I didn't come here to actually talk to him or fix things between him. I came there to help and there's no issue with that.
“You've done your part even though it's not actually your responsibility to help him. You could have just declined it” he said. I could hear the irritation in his voice and I don't even know where he's actually coming from.
He's been acting weird lately and I don't know the reason why. He doesn't even want to tell me about it.
“It's not my responsibility but I still have conscience Dylan. It's already done, why are you still talking about it?” I asked him I am just preventing myself right now from getting mad at him.
I don't want us to fight just because of useless things. I know he's only worried about me but it couldn't be the reason for him to get mad like this.
“I thought you're getting revenge from them? Then why did you decide to help him? Why would you just let him like that? Is it because you still like him?” He asked which made me immediately look at him with my forehead knotted.
What the hell is he talking about? Why is he acting like this now?
“What? No! What we have is already done. Besides I already told you the reason why I came there, the reason why I agreed and you don't even want to believe me” I don't even know why I am explaining to him right now.
He sarcastically chuckled and this is the first time he's like this. What is he trying to imply right now?
“You still love him don't you? You gave effort to help him without nothing? You still have feelings for Anastasia. Just admit it!” He suddenly shouted that shocked me and even was surprised because of what he did.
“I don't know why you're acting like this right now Dylan. But you're mistakenly thinking about it. What exactly do you want to hear from me? I’ve already told you everything!” I can't even control my emotions right now.
I know that we shouldn't be fighting with this kind of matter right now. He messed up his hair and looked at me.
“Can’t you really see it? I like you Anastasia. Fuck! I like you and I just can't admit it. I am fucking jealous “ he uttered. My mouth half opened because of what he said. Did he just confess to me right now? But I thought we're just friends. He's like a brother to me.
Why is he saying this?
I treated him as my own siblings. I thought those kindness he's doing for me was just something a brother is willing to do for their sister.
I looked at him yet he avoided my gaze.
I don't know what to say. I only see him as my brother. Nothing more.
I didn't know that he actually had feelings for me. Now that explains why he's acting weird lately.
“Dylan,” I let out a deep sigh not wanting to hurt his feelings but If I stayed silent it would only make thing's matter worse.
I can't let him misinterpret what we have.
“I know Anastasia, I already know your answer,” he said in a calm voice. I look at him confused. He already knows about it but why?
“I’m just too stupid to still have hope that you would like me. But I know you only see me as a brother. Yet I still see it in a different way. I like you and I am afraid to admit it. I waited for the right timing but it always got ruined because of Darius. Yes, I am jealous but I can't help but to stay quiet because after all I don't have the right to get jealous.” He said and fainted a smile.
I am speechless right now and I don't know how to say a word.
“I know I don't have a chance for you. I already accepted it but it still hurts. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.” He added. I looked at him and hugged him.
He's like a brother to me and I only see him like that.
“I’m sorry Dylan. But I can't. We can't, “ I told him. He nodded his head.
“I know.” He answered. He let out a deep sigh and looked at me.
“I’m sorry for shouting at you.” He uttered and he's about to leave when the door opened.
“Lady Anastasia, you have a letter “ Cynthia entered the room and handed me a letter. I got confused and checked it.
My eyes widened when I saw what's written on it.
“What's happening?” Dylan asked but I just stared at the letter. He grabbed the letter on me and read it.
“Do you really think I already forgot about you? It's time to make you pay for everything you did to me. I will make sure that you will die in my hands," Cynthia read it out loud.
