Chapter 70: She will be strong for both (2/2)
Carlos managed to remain calm as he climbed into the arena. He saw Luiza's five fights. She was strong, yes. Maybe even stronger than him, but could he say the same after fighting 5 times in a row?
Maybe she didn't look tired, but using genes was different from using physical strength. The tiredness caused by using genes was hard to notice, but you could still be worn out, like a bucket full of water that lost its water little by little while the way to fill it was like a weak faucet that gave a few drops per second, not slow or fast. Of course, some people were faster; however, it didn't reach the same speed that she was using.
Unlike the other participants, Carlos hasn't said a single word so far. His eyes were serious. Though he was convinced she didn't have much strength to use her genes, he didn't let his guard down.
Luiza, seeing this, smiled a little as her eyes sparkled more than usual. ”You are a lot like him.”
”Oh?” Carlos arched his brow in confusion. ”Who?”
”Your father, you are a lot like him~” Her voice was playful.
Meanwhile, Carlos was no longer so calm. His hands curled into fists as his face turned red, and his eyes narrowed as if he wanted to glare through Luiza's body. ”How did you meet my...” He didn't continue. It was like he couldn't; he felt anguished, and couldn't even say the words, father, dad, daddy, etc.
”Aline Rodrigues de Miranda... She was my older sister on her mother's side~” Her voice remained soft. However, the weight that her words brought was heavy.
Carlos felt suffocated, he tried to swallow his own spit, but he couldn't and felt like something was stuck and making a lump in his throat.
Even when the referee had already started the match, Luiza continued to stand looking at Carlos while smiling.
Carlos was so nervous, scared, and even remorseful that he couldn't even speak or think straight.
When he finally spoke, it was, ”I didn't know, I just didn't know...”
”Hehe~” Luiza giggled. But even a fool could feel the sadness and resentment in her laughter. It was like she was laughing at something she was forced to laugh at, something very sad.
The people who were watching were confused. They didn't know what happened to these two, so they didn't know what made them act so strangely, and they could only speculate with the little they heard and saw.
”Funny to hear that…” Luiza's smile grew, ”You know, you tried, yes, you tried to help my sister… You even called my house at her request, perhaps? Well, well, you must have thought the call dropped, but I heard enough, enough to know what in the nine hells she's been through.”
This time Carlos's face went white as a ghost.
”That's not true. I never heard anything about that...”
Luiza laughed again, interrupting him, and said, ”Of course not, I didn't want Mom to know about this, you know? Saying she was abused was one thing, but that's not just what happened, right?”
”I, I…” Carlos stuttered.
”3 years, for three whole damn years, she lived worse than an animal.” Luiza walked in baby steps towards him.
Carlos took steps back, ”When my... When Jorge found out I had used the phone, he hit me a lot, breaking my leg and my arm. After that, we moved house, and my dad started using another name.”
”Yes, I know.” Luiza smiled, ”There's something you don't know, but my older sister and I were very close, and on the walls what you and your damn dad think was just scratches on the wall, it was actually codes, only I knew, yes, I know everything.”
”Ahhhh!” Holding his hands to his head, Carlos screamed, all the memories, all of Aline's screams, even the moment he...
At this moment, Luiza was already in front of him, and her hand was like an ice sword, piercing two fingers above his navel, and she pulled something and squeezed it tightly.
*CLACK!*
With the sound of breaking, Carlos's despairing scream grew louder.
Luiza was still smiling when she put her hand and pierced his chest and was holding his heart in her hand.
”You raped her, even participated in your father's sick fetishes, maybe at first you really wanted to help her, but then, yes, then you turned into a monster like your father,” Luiza said neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
”I didn't…I didn't want to, my dad forced me, he forced me to rape Aline, I loved her, I wouldn't hurt her, I loved her, I wouldn't hurt her, my dad forced me, my dad forced me! ” He screamed.
Many were in shock. They didn't expect something like this to happen, much less that they would find themselves in such a circumstance.
”You know, I always wanted to kill you and your father... But I didn't, my master made me see the light and showed that it wouldn't bring my sister back, but there's one thing... Although I won't kill you... Everything that was said here was recorded, remember? You may have been exonerated, treated like the poor man who had a monster for a father, but we know the truth, don't we? Everyone knows, before there was no way to prove it, but look, now you've admitted it~.”
At the very end, Luiza saw that she was surrounded, and they would stop her from killing him, but she never intended to kill him from the start. She just wanted to get the truth out.
Pulling her hand back, her smile continued, but not even she noticed that tears slipped from her eyes like pearls.
Leaving the arena, she sat in the eighth position chair.
As much as she wanted to get revenge and managed, in a way, she swore at the last words left by her sister that she would be strong enough not to let any man harm her. She would be strong, strong for both of them.
