Chapter 99: Telling The Truth II.

Kaito was speechless. He had no idea what to say to her. He just stared at her as if she had spoken in another language. He sat up properly and asked, "You were sold to my pack? I don’t understand that. How is that even possible? How come I don’t know about it?"

"You didn’t know about it?" Angela was surprised. She was glad that he didn’t, but it also meant his father had lied to him. She could see the disappointment and embarrassment on his face. She had been there before and knew exactly what it felt like to be humiliated by a parent. "I am sorry about it."

She pressed his arm gently and added, "I heard about it the day I made my application. My uncle is the worst person to mess with, so I took refuge and came here."

"My father didn’t tell me this, even though he hardly hides anything from me. I am still surprised that he made such a decision without consulting me first."

"Sometimes things happen like that. I felt ashamed when I realized that I was just a commodity to everyone. I had to run and live a different life."

"How about your parents? Didn’t they try to stop him?" Kaito was curious. His face was slowly turning red from the anger building inside him. "Why would they let your uncle determine your life?"

"My mother did. She let him do that, not my father," Angela said. "My father is late... at least, that’s what my mother told me. I have never seen him or even a photo of him. He is just a mystery to me."

Angela could not control her tears. If only Grace would at least show her a picture of her father or tell her his name... or even his family, so she could go to them and find out who she really was.

"Hey dear, don’t cry," Kaito moved closer and wiped her tears with his thumb. Then he drew her into his arms. "I can’t stand tears, especially yours. It’s going to be fine. I’m sorry for your loss."

"I didn’t know about the transaction between my father and your uncle..." He stopped, his eyes narrowing as he remembered something. "Wait... you are Angela the surrogate. I was told you volunteered to be my surrogate. We were supposed to meet last month, but I resumed school earlier. I was going to come as soon as you settled in my home."
