Regrettable Vengeance

Chapter 5: Rage Harlow

Liah’s POV

I flashed my smile to everyone as I introduce myself and while looking around the room, I saw a person that made my smile disappear for a bit of time.

It was him!

RAGE HARLOW!

Another bastard.

Known for being soft and sweet to her girlfriend but a hidden playboy inside.

He was there! He was the one who lured me to Mistral. He watched me almost getting r*ped. He just watched! I begged him for help but he didn’t move. He even enjoyed seeing me crying under Mistral’s tight hold.

-somewhere in Maiandra’s Diary

My blood boils knowing the fact that he didn’t help her at that time and even helped his friend do it to her.

They are disgusting and inhumane!

“Is everything all right Ms. Castro?” I went back to reality because of the professor calling my name.

I just nodded and smiled a little as a response to her question because I’m not in the mood to speak anymore after I saw that jerk.

“Okay, so you can sit beside Ms. Kirsten. Gabriola, can you please raise your right hand?”

A girl then raised her hand at the back row of the seats so I started walking towards her.

Look how fate is siding with me.

The teacher assigned me to sit beside Rage Harlow’s girlfriend.

Sitting with her means that getting closer to them can make it easier for me.

After all the introductions, the teacher then started her lecture.

If you’re curious, I am taking business course.

Maiandra and I agreed to take the same course and do business together in the future, but I guess it’s only me now.

By the way, I didn’t really paid much attention to the lesson because it is already taught to me by my previous school. That’s why I studied there before, they’re more advanced.

While my mind is flying around, I can feel that someone is staring at me and it annoys me!

It makes me feel uncomfortable. I turned my sight to that direction and my guess was right. It’s Harlow.

Is that the same way he stared at Maiandra when she was new here?

He slightly waved his right hand to me when he saw me looking at him.

I smiled at him, well of course a fake one, and then looked at the window and pretended like nothing happened.

After the classes, I made Xian go home first because I told him that I want to go to the park that Maiandra wrote about in her diary.

It hurts just to read what she has written in her diary.

How much more hurting it is when she felt it?

As I think of her and her pain, I just can’t help but let a tear slide my cheeks.

I write these words here in my diary as I sit in here for the last time. I don’t ever want to go back to this seat anymore as it reminds me all of the happiest memories that have happened to me.

Here in the seat under the broke street light. This is the place where me and him used to hangout and also the very place where he broke my heart.

We created memories I thought would last forever but that’s just what I thought. Not his. It’s just my wishful thinking that someone like him would fall for me. I’m so stupid! But what can I do? He made me love him and made me give him everything.

I just wish I could remove the love that he planted in my heart easily when I knew that he just played my heart.

I thought that he was my shelter when everyone had their own and I was left alone, but I was wrong.

I just can’t move on and I hate it. In the end, I’m back at being the one who will cry again.

~ Maiandra’s Diary

I sat there for like thirty minutes when it started to get dark so I decided to just go home. Besides, it will be dangerous if I go back at night.

“I’m back!” I shouted so that Xian will know that I’m already at home.

I went straight to my room and took a shower to freshen up.

After that, I went to the kitchen because I know that Xian is there by the sound of the spatula and pot and smell of the food he is cooking.

A few minutes passed and Xian already finished cooking. I prepared all the plates and utensils that we need while he was cooking. After all that preparation, we finally started digging in.

“So, what are you planning to do now?” he asked as if he didn’t know the answer to his question.

“I have some subjects where Sheats is attending the same class with me.” I looked at him as if I was waiting for more information.

“You were right. He recognized me and also asked about Maya” I nodded as a sign of agreement to him and didn’t asked any more questions because we already talked about what he will say if they ask him about Maiandra.

It’s just my first day and a ton of events happened. I think that will be better so that everything will be finished as soon as possible.

“Are you sure that you have really thought about it, Liah?” I gave him that ‘we already talked about this’ face.

He is really making me doubt and I don’t like it.

I have to finish what I started. I already gave a s**t ton for this plan so there is no turning back.

“I already started it, Xian. I won’t stop anymore.”

Besides, what could be the reason for me to stop this? That I’d be put in danger? That I might hurt myself? But I just can’t let them live peacefully, right?

“Do you think that Maiandra will like it if she knows about this revenge plan of yours?”

I don’t really know what to answer to that question.

And that question is also one of the things that contributes to my doubt in this plan.

“There is still a lot of time to stop everything about this Liah. It’s still early.” he said as he stood up from his chair and put his dirty dishes in the sink.
