Chapter 169 - Chapter 169

((( ZHIO )))

I relied on earthly power to solve my own problems but now, it'd take a miracle to ease my trouble. I had threatened Claire's family for love but I don't want her to suffer anymore.

I knelt down and wondered where to begin my prayer. But without any words, I trust He already knew my burdens.

Maybe karma was doing its thing on me.

"Mr. Zel Cantheliz?" A soft voice spoke.

It was a nun.

Before she could come closer, I hurriedly wiped off the tears that were clotting on my eyes.

"What brings someone like you to this deserted place?" she was smiling sympathetically.

"Mother. I've attempted to visit this place a long time ago. To pray."

She nodded weakly,

" There used to be a young woman who visited this place regularly. She usually have problems but I think all of it got resolved by now. I heard her family moved somewhere near the city and since, she hasn't gotten back to this place. I apologize for mentioning that but anyway, let's have a seat."

The nun sat and before I could sit I spoke.

"It was Claire."

"You knew her?" she was curious.

"She's the reason why I'm here."

She raised her brow gently.

"She's my problem right now."

"How?"

"She's pregnant but she didn't like that fact."

She just listened at my story.

"And I'm the father of her baby."

"Why? Did you refuse the responsibility?"

"I won't ever do that. But she'd thinking of aborting the baby. Maybe because I've gotten too strict with her life."

"Strict? How so?"  

"Ever since something happened to us, I've forbidden her freedom. I locked her in her room because I feared for her safety. She's became my weakness ever since."

"That was indeed inhumane. Didn't she love you?"

I shook my head.

"I don't think so. She's got a boyfriend."

Was that the reason Claire?

Do you love Derick over me?

"But they broke up."

"Maybe she's just surprised at how fast her life's pace has become. Motherhood is a great deal for someone so young. I knew Claire so well, she wouldn't abort the child. Try and talk to her. "

I nodded.

Before I knew it, Deo has arrived…
