RUBY
We decided to talk in Daniel's apartment, away from my house because we didn't want the kids to see more bad.
“I'm sorry, I know I was wrong,” Sean looked at me who just kept quiet.
“Do you apologize for being discovered? Otherwise, then you won't apologize?” Daniel stands up and pulls Sean to hit him.
“Daniel, please calm down,” I stopped Daniel's hand that almost hit Sean's face.
“Why do you want to hit me. Aren't you the only one? Ketrin got pregnant and gave birth to your child, but why do you seem innocent at all here?”
“Badness,” Daniel hit Sean many times, and I don't stop him anymore. Sean really is a bastard. I hate that I was once amazed at him, about how calm and caring he was.
“You think I am you? I entered in this complicated circle because of you and ketrin!” Daniel falls down from exhaustion after hitting Sean.
Sean woke up while rubbing blood on the corner of his lips. “You're as hypocritical as I am, you think I don't know?” Sean laughed cynically.
“Ruby, you know Lucas' friend Jenny?” I nodded confused.
“He is the younger sister of Yoona, the woman who committed suicide after her parents committed suicide. The family you destroyed to save Ketrin's company. You remember that, right? And I've seen Daniel and Lucas talking at a restaurant, and they look familiar.”
I was so surprised why I had so much to take today. He turned towards the silent Daniel.
“You know, I trust you a lot. Can you tell me all the things I don't know? I think it's better to spill all the wounds at once.”
“Actually me and Lucas are talking about Jenny, not you. And yes, I know that Lucas is Yoona's younger brother. And I apologize to him on my behalf and you. I express all my regret for helping you get closer to Yoona.”
I bowed limply, I also deeply regret the bag of my deeds first. I never thought that 3 lives would be lost because of what I did. “So all this time Jenny just wanted revenge on me? And you know that?”
“Maybe he really wants revenge on you. But I'm sure she's really in love with you.” Daniel looked at me seriously. My eyes are wet again, it's hard now for me to trust anyone. I feel like everyone is betraying me.
“And for you Daniel, I don't really know what to do, I feel angry, ashamed and also guilty to you. I'm sorry, because of me you got involved with all this complicated stuff. Let's talk about Leo's custody well, however I love him and he's still a kid. It would be very confusing if you suddenly picked it up. I will not take away your rights. Of course, so you're sick too. Let's talk about Leo after you and I have calmed down enough.”
I'm leaving Daniel's apartment. My head hurts a lot with all the information I got today.
...****************...
I saw the view from under my apartment. I just went home to get some clothes, but Ketrin wasn't there.
“Why don't you sleep here?” Irene asked me as we had breakfast together.
“Listen. I'm sorry, but now your mom and dad are not doing well. Dad needs time to calm down,” I messed up my daughter's hair, all the guilt like piercing my heart.
“OK dad. I hope all will be well soon. Just take it easy, I'll take care of Leo.”
I did not hold back my tears, I hugged her, I cried while hugging my daughter.
“Father is glad you grew up to be a good girl.”
I still have breakfast and drive Leo to school. At least I want to enjoy the time before Daniel brings Leo.
...****************...
It's Friday now, where Jenny told me to vote. I'd love to come to her. I need someone to cry, I'm tired and lonely. But after all the information I got I was very doubtful. Daniel and I have been talking about Leo's custody. Daniel would take Leo away to Canada away from me, away from all of us, but I couldn't do anything, he had full rights as his father.
Message
“Sorry, I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. I'm sorry that I broke your children's hearts, I'm so sorry. I hope you didn't forget that I was waiting for you. That's what I wanted to say. But, I changed my mind. I don't want to mess up any more than this. I hope you are always happy. SORRY.”
I cry once again. I was so sick I didn't know what to do. I realized I had committed a great sin in the past, and maybe this was the payoff. I want to apologize to Jenny, I want to ask her if she really loves me or just wants revenge on me, I also want to ask for Lucas' forgiveness, but I still can't meet them.
