Aaliyah's Pov
I can't stop the tears that flow down my cheeks one after another. I feel mixed emotions when I know the whole truth.
You're an evil Trixie. You will pay for everything you did to destroy my family, kill my son, attempt on my life and torture Daniel.
I know everything.
They hid everything from me.
But I can't blame them, and I have no right to be angry with them. I know they did that for me. They think about my welfare. And as I listened to their explanation, I understood why they didn't tell me the truth right away. Maybe if I had known right away when Vince returned to the states then, I would have returned home to the Philippines to kill Trixie. She's an animal. There is no forgiveness for her sins. I'm not done with her yet.
I clenched my fists. I just came back to reality when Daniel's mom suddenly spoke again.
'I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. At first, I really didn't like you. Daniel is my only child and what I want for him is that she also comes from a rich family for connections and will further strengthen him as his father's heir. Even if we disappear from this world, my son's support is strong. He will not have any difficulties and his future will be better. You are also a mother and you know what I mean. You will do anything for your child. But because of what happened, I found out that my decisions was wrong from the beginning, for my son. It's not wealth, or any other connection that he needs and is important to him.. Now just let him be happy, I can't ask for anything more. As a mother I will support everything he wants and can make him happy.' He gave me a long explanation while crying and holding my hands. I can feel her sincerety.
I understand what she said. And I know she is hurt by the fate of his only child.
'I understand you ma'am, don't cry. You don't know that Trixie is that kind of person. We all don't think that she can kill someone for love' I told her to make her feel a little better.
She's so helpless.
'Everything is my fault. If I hadn't interfered in your relationship with my son in the first place, Liam would still be alive today, my first grandchild,' she cry even more because of what she said. But I can't stop it either. I started crying too.
Lyca was also crying while stroking my back.
Nik gave us all tissues.
'That's enough, everything will be okay. Let's forget what happened. The important thing now is that Trixie is paying for her livestock.' I said between crying.
I was surprised when she touched my cheek.
'Now I know why my son is in love with you. I know now.. I hope if it's not too late, you'll have another chance with him' she said while slowly wiping the tears from my cheeks. I was suddenly saddened by what she said.
My heart suddenly throbbed when I suddenly remembered Daniel.
All this time, it's not his fault. He sacrificed himself for the safety of us and his child. Even though he knew the truth, he didn't explain it to me, because he knew what kind of person Trixie was. He knows we will be in danger if she doesn't get what he wants.
I didn't say anything after what ma'am Amelia said.
'Can I see and hug my granddaughter, before I even leave', she begged me.
'Yes, of course. Just a moment and I'll get her upstairs' I said and hurriedly went upstairs to get Lian.
Just a few moments later, I went down with baby Lian who woke up when I picked her up while she was sleeping.
I was just coming down the stairs when aunt Amelia greeted me excitedly.
..'My granddaughter' she was happy while looking at Lian. She was holding Lian's small hands.
I handed Lian to her so she could hug Lian too..
'she looks just like Daniel. It's like a female version, how did it happen? all of your children look like Daniel.. this is what Daniel looked like back then' she said in disbelief as she looked at Lian in disbelief.
"Yes ma'am Amelia. Im the one who carry them in my womb for nine months, but i don't have one look alike" I said smiling to her. Even when she cries, she smiles because of Lian.
It took a long time before she said goodbye to leave because her flight to Canada is today. For the meantime, she said she wanted to cool off there. We immediately talked a lot, she had a lot of questions about baby Lian, advice, and more. In a short time, we felt at ease. She's very easy to talk to and she's very kind to me now than before.
I thought that because of the chaos that happened, she and Daniel's dad have already filed the divorce papers. It turns out that they have other personal problems and they haven't really been okay for a long time.
Just because they are the same public figure, and it's easy to be talk by the public, they chose to live in silent together.
'Be careful always.. Take good care of my granddaughter. Thank you.' she said smiling before getting into her car.
'You too. Be careful ma'am. Thank you. Have a nice trip.' I replied to her as I carried baby Lian. We took her outside.
'Be careful Aunt Amelia' said Nik
'Be careful' Lyca said with a smile.
'Thank you' she said smiling to us and completely closed the window of her car.
Nik and Lyca are still waving at her even though her car is far away. I was smiling while watching her car slowly shrinking in our sight.
That smile, little by little, disappeared.
'Bessy, please take care of Lian first, huh? I just have to go somewhere' I said to Lyca while hurrying inside to bring Lian to the room first.
'take her in my room!. Where are you going?!' she asked me quickly while following behind me.
'To Liam's grave.' I just told her so she wouldn't ask anymore.
....
Before I go see Liam today, I thought I'd go somewhere first.
My hands were shaking, as I waited for that woman's face. I went to her right here where she was imprisoned. That's what I heard Nik said earlier while they were telling me everything.
A lot of things come to my mind when I face Trixie now. Can I do it? can I deal with her normally now that I know she killed my son.
My eyes start to water. I calmed myself down because I saw the face of the woman I had killed several times in my mind before.
'Why are you here?' she smiled at me while sitting in the seat opposite me. She still has a high forehead even though he looks different than before. Far from the sophisticated woman she used to be, now she looks almost like dirt.
'Your clothes suit you' I said to her with a smile that insulted her entire personality.
She just smirked at me while her eyes were looking at me. There's only one thing I'm sure about these times. I just ruined her day. And this is where I feel relieved.
'And you, what happened was better for you. You lost the most beloved son, and the most beloved fiance' she said which made me feel so hot that I couldn't hold back. I stood up and gave her a couple of strong slaps. My eyes are almost glazed over her and if my glare could only be the cause of death, she would have been dead here right now.
She was holding her cheek which was very red because of the force of my slapped.
Suddenly, the jail guard who brought her here came to us in the visiting area.
I brought my face closer to her and then spoke.
'I will make sure that you will not get out of this very prison for the rest of your life. If you ever do, I will make sure that you will not breathe for even a minute when you are released. I promise you' my words will be emphatic and she knows I'm not joking that's why I see the fear in her eyes.
'Don't come back here again! I don't want to see your face!' she shouted at me. But I smiled at her crazily.
'Where do you want me to go back? To your daughter?' I even teased her for causing her to get crazy and make a commotion, but the jail guards were quick that's why even her fingernails didn't get close to me. I smiled at her so that she would get even more annoyed and think about my face every day until she went crazy.
'You're an animal!! Try to get rid of my daughter!!! I will kill you!! I will kill you!!' she yelled at me while she's been dragging out of the visiting area.
When she disappeared from my sight, that's when I showed weakness. I almost held my heart beating so fast because I wanted to do more to her than slap her. I stopped myself because of Lian.
That's when I released the tears that wanted to roll down my cheeks.
You're an animal Trixie. I can't forgive you! Just fucking rot in here.
....
'Son, mom is here' when I spoke in front of Liam's grave.
After I got out of the city jail, I immediately went straight here.
I miss my son so much.
'Not a day goes by that mom doesn't remember you, son. I hope you are happy now because the people who did this to you are no longer free. Your daddy son has done justice to your death'
'Next time I will bring your sister here so you can meet her. I'm sure you'll like her, she's so cute and -------' I couldn't finish what I was going to say.
I started crying as I covered my face.
I always think especially when I look at Lian, what if she is still alive today. Maybe he is a very loving older brother to his sister now.
T___T
I just let myself release all the pain.
_
A few minutes before I decided to go home. I've been gone for almost half a day and maybe Lyca and Nik are worried about me. Another thing I'm also worried about is Lian.
'I have to go home, son. Mama will come back here with your baby youngest sister. That's a promise my son.' I said to Liam's grave and then stood up from my slap on the grass.
I fixed the flowers I brought for a moment and then I decided to leave.
But I was surprised when I looked behind me. Not very far. I didn't expect to see his face today.
It was as if my feet were nailed to where I was standing. Suddenly everything around froze and I was only focused on him at this time.
I slowly approached him.
I don't know what to say.
The last time we met, I remembered he pushing me away.
'I'm so stupid' I said to him first when I approached him.
'I hate you so much. I almost cursed you because of my suffering, not knowing that your suffering was much more than mine' this time, I punched his chest. I just looked into his eyes. And so is he. He doesn't speak. He's just staring at me.
For the safety of his daughter and me, even though he loved me too much and couldn't leave me, he did it. He said those hurtful words to me not knowing that while he was saying that, his heart was breaking.
I'm stupid!!!
'I'm so mad at you, do you know that?!, I left you when you did it for my sake. Even if it hurts, why did you take it all!' I shouted at him and punched him in the chest again.
'You told me before! I trust you! But why didn't you trust me? Why did you let me get angry with you! Why! Why are you all alone! Why don't you think of another way!' I'm crying. This time I hit him with both hands.
I feel so guilty right now. I was disgusted with myself because I put my anger and emotions first. I didn't wonder why he suddenly became like that to me! I didn't think about making a way at least! I thought I was smart but Im not! I didn't even realize that something was happening to him! I'm focused on his sudden change!
I'm the useless one. I doubted his love. I underestimated him. It's all my fault. I am to blame. I let go. I was the one who left. I didn't make a way. I didn't even fight him!
I feel really bad. I do not know!!! It must have been very difficult for him what he did then. I want to slap myself right now. Everything that happened when we broke up was all a lie. It all lies!!!
'Enough.' He said hugging me. I was crying while I fell on his chest. I kept trying but I couldn't handle his strength.
'Please stop' he whispered to me but I still can't stop what I feel right now.
I miss his voice, which I miss so much.
I hugged him back.
I feel like I'm floating on a cloud at this moment. I feel like I want time to stop. That we are just like this.
Everything is just like a dream. But I wish I could, I can't wake up!

Someone's POV
He witnessed everything. Aaliyah and Daniel have not lost their love for each other even though they have been separated for a long time.
His shoulder slumped to get into the car. He did everything. He hoped that at least he would have at least a piece of space in Aaliyah's heart. Since then, the first time he saw Aaliyah, he loved her. But tonight, he proved even a little bit that he can't really win against Daniel. Tonight he accepted defeat.
He didn't expect a tear to fall on his cheek, because of the pain he was feeling at that time.
I will let Aaliyah go...
