Kiss For The Sin 174
"Then who is Zacharias Eron? Why is he claiming that he's a Cortezi? He said Celeste is his sister!" I fire back, still not convince. Apollo tighten the grip on my wrist as if telling me to stop but I am too emotional right now. I will not stop until everything was answered. "Is he your brother?" He ask me in return. I gulp and shut my eyes close. I don't have a brother. I am the only child of Cortezi couple, there's no way I have a brother without knowing it. "I don't have..." I whisper and open my eyes. "See? They are fooling you, Herravie! You let them fooled you that's why you failed this mission!" Dad growl and I flinch a little because of it. "They are trying to save Celeste that's why they are finding her even after all these years without any hint about her whereabouts" I bit my lower lip. "They act as if they are all concern to her and to the Cortezi family. They said-" I didn't finish my sentence when Dad grab my arm and held me tightly. Apollo tried to stop our fat
Kiss For The Sin 175
"Come here, give Daddy a hug mi hija" Nothing change to his embrace. I thought he was mad at me because of what I did but then he show me the opposite. He was like giving me empathy when supposedly he should have scolded me. I was an disobedient child, I was hardheaded, I didn't listen to him, I defy him. "Dad I'm sorry..." I whisper, holding back my tears. He doesn't want to see me crying, that is for sure. I must hold back my tears because for him, tears is a sign of weakness. I shouldn't cry no matter how I wanted to cry right now. Even with my state, I should stay rational. Crying in front of him will never make him pleased. Don't cry Herravie... "I'm glad you came back home alive, mi hija. But I am not apologizing for scolding you a while ago because you need to snap back to your senses" he tap my head and pulled away. "Let's talk about this tomorrow. For now, go to your room and rest. It's been a long and tiring day for you" he utter calmly but still sound authoritative.

"I wanted to know my worth as a Costello, once again..." Tears stream down to my face. I felt a pang of pain inside my chest and I couldn't hide how vulnerable I am right now. I always wanted to act strong in front of the man who molded me as Herravie. I always wanted to show strength to the father who teach me how to be fearless, but right now I am crying desperate to hear his command. UuuWould that be too much to ask? I just wanted to reclaim the same worth I feel before. I was not able to kill Czar Ildefonso, Jaxer ends up getting shot, my identity as Herravie was discover. Everything is a mess now. I am having a dilemma inside my head because I am questioning myself. At this moment, I don't know anymore what am I chasing? Was it the revenge I wanted or because I just wanted to prove my worth as a Costello because I am just an adopted daughter? "We will talk about this tomorrow" he firmly utter and turn his back on me. "Dad!" I call him and try to follow him but Apollo held my

"That is not something that you can decide, Herravie" I press my lips together as I heard what Pollux said. I know what does it mean and he is right. I gaze down and fisted my hand. "The council will decide if they give Czar Ildefonso's life in your hands once again" Apollo paused and took a deep breath. "If they won't, then just agree with them" My forehead creased and turn my head to look at him. Our eyes meet and I know that it is evident in my face that I disagree to what he said. I've come this far, I defy my father, there will be no different if I defy the council. If that's what it takes to prove something to myself again, I don't care. I must prove to myself who really I am. I must remind myself what made my life like this, how I end up like this. It's not a big deal anymore if I try to become hardheaded. If I don't listen to the council and they will get mad at me, well, what's new? They never like me to begin with. They always do something to make me look like a failur

"Then I will kill him for you" His tone is firm and it weigh so much emotion despite how he's trying to control his anger. He is not like this, I am always feel as if he's not taking things serious but right now, I guess he's trying to be a big brother to me because I am questioning myself. "Would it still be a revenge if I let you do it?" I whisper, doubting. I shouldn't doubt. I know to myself that should not doubt my own brother but then here I am, hesitant to Pollux's concern. "Does it even matter?" He fire back and let go of me. "Do you really have to question who will kill that bastard? I think what's important is the assurance of his death. I can assure you that I can kill him for you" he added. He's right. I shouldn't question about it because what's important is he will die. Cesar Ildefonso is still there, he is the one who killed my parents while Sain is just my way to make him realize how painful to lost someone you love. But will it be okay to me? My lips move wan
Kiss For The Sin 179
Leaning on the railing of the tree house inside the Costello mansion, I couldn't help to think about Sain Czar. The wind is cold, thanks to my thick cotton jacket that protect me from shivering I was able to went outside despite the freezing night. I lifted my gaze to the clear night sky filled with shimmering dots of lights. It's been a long day, the first day that I was not with Sain since I pretend to be Selena Castania. For the months I was with him, I slowly get used of being called Selena, wife, darling, and little. And right now that I couldn't heard any of those words the rest of the day, I feel like missing it. I took a deep breath. Missing it is a big mistake. It is wrong for a Costello like me but I couldn't help it. Even just for some time, I don't want to be hypocrite. Maybe the change of my feelings toward Sain Czar is the reason why I am questioning myself, my worth, and my identity as a Costello. I gave down on the ring I am wearing. I haven't take it off yet, if A

"Cesar Ildefonso killed my family..." I remind myself while looking at my reflection on the mirror. I could no longer see the sweet smile of Selena Castania that I used to wear when greeting the people around me. The woman in the mirror is Herravie Costello, the woman who seeks vengeance. I am holding the gun that Luscio Costello gave me while reminding myself that I must hand this gun back at him stained with Sain Czar's blood. That's the only way I can prove to myself and to the Costello that I am one of them and I deserve to be a Costello woman. I am confused right now but this is no time for me to question everything. Despite relying on the memories I remember, still, I am hesitant if what I am doing right now is the best thing for me, for my family, and for the Costello. All I know is I must do something. I am force to do something because that's my responsibility since I become a Costello woman. I shut my eyes close and Sain Czar's handsome face flash on my mind. I could n

"Father cannot always defend you to the council, Hera. It may be sound as if I am forcing you but you need to finish this mission. Do not fail it" he said, voice that weigh so much emotion opposite to his serious face. I am force to do something even if I was not told to. It feels as if there is an invisible hand that push me to do things that I am hesitant to commit. Even without words, no command, on the back of my head I am force to things, to act with initiative. "I know what's my role in this family and what is my responsibility in the organization, Jaxer" I pause and took a deep breath. "I have to listen and be obedient even if that kills me inside. Even if I had to ignore my own emotion, what matters is to always get the work done without a mistake" A single tear escape my eyes followed by the strong blows of the wind. I am not sure if Jaxer saw it but one thing is for sure, he is aware that I am struggling right now. There is a silent dilemma inside me and my hesitation is
