213 Letting Go

Veronica woke up from her own alarm and she saw Tony on the sofa with beard. He hasn't shave yet for days. Still he look handsome as always. She reach her phone and turn it off. Tony was too busy on his laptop that his eyes has dark circles and his hair was longer than before. She cleared her throat and Tony look up at her.

She knows that she look ugly and unhealthy yet he could still smile at her just to cheer her up. She only have 15 days left to live. Time is running. Tony pick up his phone. His face lightens like he had found something.

"Can you get me bubble tea?" She said the address and he immediately took his coat, keys and phone then he sat down beside her first and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"What flavor do you want then?"

"Passion Fruit. Yogurt as usual any kind of ad-ins…" She reach his hand and hold it for few second. "Go." She said.

"I'll be back." He left the room and that's when Veronica drop her smile and cry all by herself. At least she wouldn't be that selfish to keep him with her until she turns into ashes.

After he left, in few minutes Calvin came up and he look hurt seeing her for the first time. She didn't want him to see her at her very worse. But he just did. He caress her hair and hold her hand.

"Don't worry—I will find that bastard."

"Don't kill him. Sabrina has the right to watch him get tortured and if Anastasia is alive—she has the right to see them get tortured."

"Then I'll have his head." He mutter. Veronica close her eyes.

"Grandpa… when I die, please help Sabrina and Catriona. Cat is my sister. Don't let anyone hurt her, okay? Promise me that."

"I promise." He kisses her forehead. "I am contacting the people I know so that they could cure you."

"Grandpa… there's no cure." She mutter. "Not yet maybe if I die then there will be." Her throat and mouth is dry. "Water."

Calvin gave her the glass with the straw as she sipped with sigh.

Tony drove his car to the bubble tea house that Veronica said that she want to have her bubble tea. He got in and order two teas. He call Samantha and soon she answer.

"Hey, Tony. Just want you to know that I am near on finding it out. I have used samples on our experimentations. Half of it was cured and it's like regain but then—not completely. But I can feel that I am near to it."

"I will swing by later to help you."

"Okay, thank you." He hang up and took the two teas. He turn around and saw Vivien smiling at him. She look blooming with red lipstick and even her dress was red.

"Tony." She said and immediately hug him. He was stunned. He didn't know how to push her away with two bubble tea on his hand. "I am glad that you want me back."

"What are you talking about?" Tony asked. Vivien smile sexily.

"Don't tell me that you forgot?" She kiss his lips and then that's when he shook his body and told her to stay away. She did stepped back puzzled.

"I don't know what your deal is—but I have to go."

"Wait! You just texted me and told me that you wanted to get back with me. You said you still love me."

Tony frowns.

"What are you talking about?" Was this Vivien's new tactic to mess up with him and his relationship with Veronica? Well, nothing can come between them. "Okay, whatever you are talking about—forget it."

"But you said that you still love me."

He crease his brows and put the cups on the counter and pull out his phone. He had blocked her and how could he text her. He never texted her. He check the messages and that's when he saw the text message that was sent yesterday at nine in the evening. Veronica.

"Tony—don't joke around okay?" Vivien was about to throw herself to him and he slid his phone back to his pants his mind was in a mess. Veronica want him to move on soon. That's why she's doing this. He took the bubble teas and left. "Tony!" Vivien chase after him. Then Tony face her.

"Stop it!" He shouted at her. "Veronica is sick and she texted you so that I can move on from her. Do you understand? I love her and she's my life!" He open his car and put the bubble on the shotgun seat. He slammed it and went directly to the facility that Gabriel built for his wife.

He smack the steering wheel and glance at the bubble tea beside him. What did he do to deserve such a good woman? Veronica has been thinking of him all this time. He can feel her love for him even though she couldn't say any word of his love.

"Veronica, you are killing me." He mutter. He got into the facility and Samantha greet him.

"Sam, we need to make the cure now. I can't loose her."

"We are doing everything." She said. "What's wrong?"

"Veronica is sometimes stupid." He mutter.

"I will make sure she knows that." Samantha said.

???

Veronica is stupid. She is really stupid. Why is she waiting for him? It's been four hours. Why is she still hoping that he would come by? She glance at his laptop sitting on the table near the sofa. Calvin left so he could make arrangements for her.

She pushes her blanket. Her legs wobble when she step forward. She hold on the table near her and walk shakily toward the sofa. She felt cold. Suddenly cold and though it was cold, she sat down on the sofa and reach his laptop. She turn it on and on the lock screen was her picture with him that he took on bed after they made love.

She look healthy and beautiful but now, she look ugly and dying. She type his password and click on the gallery it was full of her face. Then her wearing a lace undies with her back away from him. Damn this man surely knows how to capture her body with the camera. Then there's her holding up a shirt. She's only wearing panties. She remember this. She beat him up for it.

Then there's their video on bed with satin cover on them and they were making love. The funny part was Tony was blurting some joke that made her laugh out loud.

"What? I am not kidding, Nica."

"Did you just say that I smell like Cheetos? I am going to kill you."

"No. I said you smell like garden." Then he goes down between her legs and she scream out loud. "Hmm. Totally smell like garden."

The door opens and she stop seeing a woman wearing a peach dress with paper bag of take out from Japanese. She swallowed hard. Sabrina smile at her.

"Hi."
