Marrying the Killer of my Girlfriend
THE SAME FATE

POV: Aldebaran

A few minutes have passed since I hung up Josh Rainer's phone.

However, I was still sitting on the floor leaning against the door leaf. In one of the private villa rooms in the Thousand Islands cluster.

Still lamenting my fate.

It feels like everything I've done so far has been pointless.

Since being officially introduced as the second heir of Gurnawijaya, I try to continue to study as high as the sky.

I got various scholarships and academic recognition which made my education very fast. Become a Doctorate in economics and business at the most prestigious University in the UK at the age of 25.

After that, I entered the Tel-X company and was trusted to hold the position of Business Development Manager to develop Tel-X business in parts of Europe, especially the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Scandinavian countries and the Balkans. It did not take long, I then occupied the position of Tel-X Business Development Director for the European region to date.

Everything I do to make my life so fulfilling. That way, I can give a better life for Dad, Mom and Selena.

And that way, Selena and I can live happily with our children until this world is done for us.

But apparently, there is no need to wait for this world to be finished.

Because my dream will never come true at all.

I was too late to find Selena.

And I'm so sorry.

If only I had chosen to go to school in Indonesia, I would have continued to look for her and would not have had to meet her at the wrong time like this.

That way, my scenario would run perfectly.

Yet..

Maybe this is a rebuke from God for me.

That not always the dream that man designed can be achieved according to his expectations.

God has already predestined it.

That I'd never be with Selena.

My sister is the one who can be with him.

God designed a sad story between the two of them, but also gave happiness to both.

While I, just a figurant in their love story.

Aldebarans..

It's time you closed your story with Selena in a meeting.

And get back to living your life by making new dreams.

But..

Can I do it?

Would God allow it?

Or am I going to be held hostage in this shackle for good?

While I was still contemplating with my own mind, the door of the room was suddenly knocked.

“Master.. sorry..it's about the condition of Madam.” said a raucous voice from behind the door.

I got up from my seat and opened the door.

Not to forget, I wiped away my flooded tears after giving my blessing to the one and only sister I loved so dearly.

“What's up?” I went back to my usual wibawak tone.

In front of me, one of the bodyguards put on a worried face.

“The girl has not eaten for three days and she threatens if she does not get out of here, she will stop eating until death.” said the fat-haired middle-aged bodyguard.

Celine started to make dramas.

And I'm upset to hear that.

“I'll talk to Madam. Will you please strengthen security as usual?” my orders to him.

“Good Sir,” he said bowing to me.

I walked to Celine's room, which was on the top floor.

This private villa is a place of recreation and unwind that our family has. It has three floors and views of the sea from the infinity pool, making this place able to relax like being a visit to the Maldives.

However, it seemed like those feelings did not apply to Celine.

He did not enjoy his vacation here.

Though I only cut off all phone and internet channels so that he was kept away from the outside world. However, he is provided with the best chef, a library with the latest row of books and he is free to swim if he wants. Despite strict supervision.

But, he instead locked himself in a room three days in a row and chose a hunger strike. He even threatened to die if he did not get out of this house.

Celine is stupid. I am still kind to him.

I was in front of his room when the two guards at the door bowed to me. The bodyguard then opened the door of his room for me to enter.

When I came in, the mood of this room barely changed a while ago, when I confronted him and forced him to talk about the Josh Rainer crash.

This room was dark, he deliberately did not open the curtains and windows. Bed linen and blankets are messy. The chairs, glass and table in the middle room were still shattered after I slammed earlier to threaten him with a real Josh Rainer accident.

“If you really want to die, I won't stop you. I'm going to have the chef downstairs come home because his business is done here,” I said starting the conversation.

Celine lay face down on the pillow. She was crying so hard.

“Al.. I am your mother! You were born from my womb!” he screamed while crying.

I snorted at him.

“Celine, stop. Just end our cats this whole time!" I said rebuke him.

Celine was howling unbearably.

"THAT I AM THE MOTHER WHO GAVE BIRTH TO YOU! HOW MUCH YOU HURT YOUR OWN MOTHER!" shouting diabolism.

I kicked the broken table near my feet. Produces a loud noise that is quite disturbing for Celine.

"Do you think I didn't know your cunning all along, Celine? That

you are trying hard to make the heir fall into my hands so that you who claim to be my mother can get the treasure of Gurnawijaya infinity?” I said in a high tone.

“Al..I'M REALLY YOUR MOM! YOUR BRAIN MUST HAVE BEEN WASHED BY JOSH RAINER TO THE POINT OF NOT THINKING OF ME AS A MOTHER AND EVEN CONFINING YOUR MOTHER LIKE THIS! YOU EVEN WANT TO SEE ME DIE HERE! AL CONSCIOUS!” Celine was now howling unbearably.

Due to the gloomy illumination, I had not previously noticed that Celine's face was now really severe.

His thick black eye bags hung under his red eyes. Her hair was shrivelled and the wrinkles on her face were like multiplying, very different from her usual elegant face.

“Celine, stop acting like a child. I'm not at all sympathetic,” I said firmly.

“YOU'RE A DURHAKA BOY! HOW CAN YOU EVEN DEFEND THAT TROUBLESOME SNOT CHILD COMPARED TO YOUR OWN MOTHER!” Celine is out of control.

I'm tired of hearing him scream.

In a quick motion, I again took the broken table that I had previously smashed and threw it towards the bed.

It almost hit his feet.

I didn't mean to hurt her myself, just wanted to bully her a little.

However, still the throw made him look half-dead in shock.

“Never compare how valuable my twin sister is to someone like you,” I said slowly but firmly.

Celine looked even more shocked at my words.

“Why? You're surprised why I know the secret you've been hiding for so many years? That actually me and Josh Rainer are siblings of the same father and mother! And you came to take the opportunity to confess to everyone that I am the son of the affair between my father and you?” I approached him and said sharply.

Celine's eyes were still wide open, not believing that the secret she had kept for 29 years was now worthless.

“You know? All these years I have been disgusted by having to pretend not to know this secret and continue to treat you as the mother I love. Because with your greedy nature, I'm sure there will be a day when you will attempt to destroy Josh Rainer and take everything to your advantage!” I said I've now clutched his jaw.

Celine is now half-dead.

He tried to let go of my hand with both hands.

While I, keep tightening my grip on his jaw.

I was too strong for him.

“Mana may.. Al. you. this must be a mistake! Release.. I.. your mother.. the mother who gave birth to you!”

“I was even angrier when I heard that you were planning a murder to eliminate my own sister. Celine, Josh Rainer is my only brother! Wanting to kill him means that you also want to eliminate me!” I shouted as I clutched his jaw.

Celine looks very hysterical.

“Not.. a..ku.. ti..dak.. per.nah..ber...intiat.... mem.bu....nuh...nya!” he said it was hard because his jaw wanted me to break.

“Yes, thankfully you don't want to kill him. And you know who defended you? my sister! My sister who you want to woe to is saying that you are not the brain of all these plans! If only I had not known about this, I would have already smashed your rotten face,” I said bully him.

I then let go of my grasp, making Celine now gasp for normal breathing after I was intimidated.

Then I looked for a chair that was still in good condition and dragged it to the bedside where Celine was sitting oddly.

“Now tell me, to what extent is your contribution to this conspiracy and why do you want to follow all the rotten plans of Becca?” tanyaku.

Celine was again startled by the amount of information I had to threaten her.

“I.. no. I. have promised.. to her..” she replied timidly.

Then my laughter blared.

“You still don't want to talk? Alright. Since you are dishonest, I will drag you to the police station on the charge of being a maid for the murder of the main heir of the Gurnawijaya family,” gertakku.

Celine's eyes were now growing bigger, she even looked like she was begging for my mercy.

“I will also reveal your cunning deeds that have moved Tel-X up to Rp 1.2 trillion to the shell company account in my name, without the knowledge of management. So you have two crimes for this case, robbing money that is not yours and also profiting my name for your benefit.”.

Celine's mouth is as big as a tennis ball. Struggling with disbelief I knew about the scandal he had with Becca, which was corporate money laundering.

“And I, too, will report you on charges of falsifying documents and public lying on my identity. For 18 years you lied to the public and made a fake DNA test that said I was your biological son. Celine, you can't have kids!” I reopen his crime.

Celine's body was shaking violently. His face was truly like an owl, bent inward with fear.

“Just try to count all the crimes and how long will you be in jail? Or.. maybe you will get the death penalty for planning a murder? This is new for crimes I know, especially those I don't know yet.” I said snorting.

Suddenly, Celine got up from her bed and grabbed my leg.

He's acting like a madman right now, trying to kiss my feet.

“Ampuni.pardon me. I will testify for Becca's crimes. But please don't send me to prison. I. never intended to kill Josh.. I just want to see him paralyzed so he can't work and eventually Tel-X will move into your hands. I just don't know that I lied to the fox that he wanted to kill Josh.. it was not according to our plan.I did not dare to kill him. Because you guys are my niece.” said Celine worshipped my feet.

Now it's my turn to be shocked to death.

I just found out this fact and now my body is like an electrician.

He claimed to be my aunt?

That way, she's my mother's own sister?

"Lying." I said limp in disbelief.

Celine still kissed my feet with a cry howling.

"I'm telling you the truth, Al. You two are my nephews. I love you like my own son, but I can't do that to Josh because you know that his treatment of me isn't good either. I never intended to kill any of you.." Celine sniffled at my feet.

Oh God.

Now I feel like I'm gonna faint.

How can a person as evil as Celine still be my family and Josh?

“Then where's your brain? Destroying your own brother's marriage? Then want to paralyze your nephew? What is your heart and mind made Celine!” I am now trying to take my foot off this woman who is disgusting me even more.

Celine then howled even louder.

“I love your father! And your father loves me too! But I was just an adopted child in my family, the Gurnawijaya family did not approve of your father and me. Your cruel grandmother finally betrothed your father to my sister! The sister I've always taken care of since childhood took my place as she should! And you see, their relationship cannot last because your father and mother do not love each other! Because your father's love is only for me!” his yell.

Lord....

Are you cursing our family?

Have we always been faced with a romance drama between brother and sister like this?

While I was still wanting to argue with her, suddenly Celine's bedroom door was knocked.

“Mr.. sorry to interrupt. However there is a guest in front.” howl one of the bodyguards.

A guest?

Why can any guests come to our family's private villa?

Only limited people know this beachfront home.

“Who?” shouted wondering.

The voice of the guards sounded again.

“Nona Helena, Mr..”

Helena?

Why did he get here?

Does..he already knows what happened and is now looking for me to confirm?

I walked away from Celine but she wouldn't let me go.

“Al.. I really never intended to kill Josh. I claimed to be very greedy but I never intended to kill him once. Please believe me.” ringisnya.

I looked at him and there was absolutely no pity for everything he had done.

But he has to stay alive.

Because he was the key witness to all Becca's crimes.

And with Celine's confession, maybe Josh Rainer can help free his name from the accident.

“Eat. If you don't want to go to jail or die, you have to eat. I'll be back again,” I said as it passed.

Celine seemed grateful with a sobbing cry, seeing that there was a good chance for her future.

Actually, I just want to leave Celine right now.

I was really sad when I heard that she was part of my mother's family, but her behavior did not reflect at all like a brother.

I am tired of the false world, tired of all those who deify treasures.

To sacrifice his own family and make him suffer.

I really need to think clearly.

I need a friend to talk to.

And Helena came at the right time.

And when I think back..

Helena and I are in the same position.

The most hurt and sacrificed so much for our loved ones.
