Chapter 72
But Lara remained in her place and stood firm. He looked at me as if I had done something very bad to him. Holy hell, why was he mad at me? Shouldn’t I be angry with him for what he used to do to me?
“No! Let’s be clear, Ivan! Do you still love that woman ?!” Lara pointed at me again and Ivan looked at me pale.
I’m quite stunned and surprised because he asked. What the! Why do they insist that Ivan loves me? It’s nothing but a lie! He’s just lying when he said that he loves me!
“Lara, let’s go.” Ivan said emphatically and tried to pull Lara again but she still wasn’t drifting.
“No! You still love him! Now, I’ll choose you. Am I the one who’s been by your side for years, or was he the one who left you so hurt? Now, choose!”
I close my eyes when I see something flash. I think, it’s a camera. News flash was making it a scandal again by Lara. But this caterpillar actress doesn’t seem to care at all. Doesn’t he really have any physical shame?
Why was she so desperate? It seems that now he was the one who was chasing Ivan’s love. Should I call it … turning tables? In the past, Ivan was the one who was willing to do anything just to get Lara back. But … Why do I see it this way? Why did it all turn out like this?
“Stop this crap, Lara! Let’s go!” Ivan’s patience was running out and I could see it clearly on his face.
“Why don’t you admit it? You still love him! Why was he still, huh ?! How about me ?! How about Lance and me ?!” the tears were already dripping down Lara’s eyes.
“How were you? Lara, I don’t have any responsibilities for both of you!” Ivan was disgusted with her.
“Yes, you have! You were his father and I’m your wife!”
Unexpectedly my jaw dropped. were they married ?! Why didn’t I even hear about it ?!
“Stop the lies, Lara. Let’s just go!” he forcibly pulled Lara’s hand away and the caterpillar finally drifted away.
But Ivan was only one step away when he was suddenly stopped. Although many were blocking I looked at that. Darn! He was finally here.
I could clearly see from my seat the masculinity of Ivan’s eyes and the fear on Lara’s face. This incident was proof that the words, ‘there was no secret that was not revealed” were true. It was funny to watch Lara’s face. Well, that’s what she gets for messing up with someone like me.
I clapped and slowly approached them. People turned their backs on me and were shocked to see Ren.
“Welcome back, best friend.” I said happily and Lara and Ivan turned to me.
Ren grinned and raised an eyebrow. ‘thank you but … The crowd was just too much. Do we really need a lot of people?” I winced because of the excessive boss of his voice. I told her to act tough!
“Ofcourse! This was a show. A one of a kind show.” I laughed and turned to Lara. His forehead was sweating and I could see the trembling of his hands. What happened? He used to be very angry, wasn’t he? Why did the wind change?
“Shocks, this was my first time, Drea.” Ren pretended to be nervous but the joy was obvious in his voice.
“Wha … What were you doing he … here?” I turned to Lara as she spoke. She’s now facing Ren. His voice trembled even his throat.
“Do I no longer have the right to return to this country, dear little twin sister?” Ren replied with a smile and ignored what Lara said.
‘twin sister?” wrinkled when Ivan asked and looked at both Lara and Ren. Isn’t that obvious to him yet? They actually looked like each other!
Ren answered. “Oh, yes. By the way, I missed you, my first love. And before anything else, let me introduce myself to all of you.” Ren sneezed and looked at the shocked people around him. “I’m Larisse Renaya Santillan-Smith while my sister’s name was Larisse Raquella Santillan. I presume you already know her. She’s an actress. And, I’m so happy to tell you that she has a twin sister! And that’s obviously me ! “Laren laughed and teasingly looked at Lara.
I finally approached Laren and grabbed his arm. Finally! After two years in the making, we have done what we have long planned.
“How … How come? Lara?” wrinkled when Ivan turned to Lara but she didn’t say a word and just bowed.
“Hey, Jed. Let me tell you a short story about my sister’s dirty little secret.” Laren was serious and narrowed his eyes at Lara even though he wasn’t looking at Lara. “I was the girl you liked back then. I was the one you saw back then at the cooking contest, at the volleyball game, at the cafeteria, at the swimming pool and at the Prom. I was all that.” Laren’s disclosure.
“What ?!” Ivan sighed and looked at Laren in disbelief.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Lara used to ask me to pretend to be her when you were my mother to meet me in person. I couldn’t refuse her then because she had heart disease and most of all, our parents begged me for that. She acted the way I act, I speak, my hobbies. Everything. And I know you know he has heart disease. Am I right? ”
“No! Don’t believe her, Ivan! She’s lying!” Lara replied but the nervousness on her face was obvious.
“Oh, please Lara. Stop your lies, would you ?! I can’t stand what you’re doing anymore! You’re already trampling on other people. And even I myself, your sister, have done bad things!” Laren shouted so I turned to him in shock. We didn’t discuss the thing he was saying!
“No! I’m not doing anything to you, Ate!” Lara’s crying cry. He was a really good actor, his drama seems real e.
“Don’t call me, Ate, you bitch! When because of you my life was ruined! I got raped because of you!” I saw Laren’s hand clench in rage.
The people around sighed and so did I. Rape? I didn’t know it!
“You told me that you would leave Ivan to me since we really have mutual feelings and you don’t. I thought it was true so I went to the old warehouse behind the school. But hell! It was just a bait! There were men waiting there and they just pulled me away. They harassed me! They raped me and I didn’t do anything during those times because I was alone and it was late at night! ”
“Laren …” I don’t know but my tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn’t expect what he said. I know him as a good person and always positive in life. Roxanne and Darlyn and I became friends and our bond grew even stronger because of her.
“You’re just lying! You’re just mad at me so you can say that! Ivan, please. Don’t believe her. She’s crazy.” Lara begged to look at Ivan who now had no expression on his face.
“Damn you, Lara! I got depressed but I am not crazy! You were the crazy one here! Do you think you can escape the sins you committed?” Laren grinned bitterly and turned to me. He nodded at me and I could see the confidence in his eyes.
I sighed and turned to Ivan. Will he be hurt by what he finds out? Hopefully not. Because I have a feeling that I can’t explain every time I see him hurt.
I slowly opened the blue folder and I read the contents of the papers. I bit my lower lip before starting to speak. Why am I still nervous?
“You were the suspect for poisoning Jane De Leon, eleven years ago, Lara.” I was swallowed. Damn, why did he poison Ivan”s Mom?
“What? No way! That’s not true!” his denial.
“Yes, you were. How were you going to explain your fingerprints on that poison bottle, Lara? You’re lucky because Jane De Leon survived because otherwise you might be in jail now. She didn’t sue you because she knew Ivan would be hurt if he did that. ” I don’t look at them while saying that. Aunt Jane did that? Just what the hell!
“You were also the suspect in the pyramiding scam five years ago that caused the business losses of some businessmen here in the country. But guess what, you have a disgraced senator so you got through that as well.” I’m just shaking. What evil was this? His wickedness was really extreme. “You also killed the famous designer Patricia Brown eight years ago. You wanted to be the most famous designer so you killed her. But you paid her family to keep quiet and not sing. You took advantage of her family’s suffering to overcome that. . In all fairness, your cleanliness works. ”
“And besides, you’re not the one who made the ‘iconic’ designs you’re supposed to be. You have a paid woman to design for you and you’re pretending to be the one who designed it. Seriously? What evil have you not done yet ? ” I blinked emphatically. It’s like I don’t want to continue reading this. What he was doing was too bad.
“Lastly, you were married to another man and Ivan De Leon was not the father of your child. You also have two children with your husband. I have the marriage contract here that will prove that you were married to another man and not to Ivan De Leon. ” damn, I thought they were married.
I took a paper from the folder and that was the original copy of their marriage contract. I was swallowed up and the marriage contract was released. My lips trembled and I looked at Lara in disbelief. While Ivan looked at me anxiously.
Why … Why was this? Did you give me Clyde wrong? Why was it like this?! This was not true!
