Chapter 15

It's already late in the evening, but Armando is still awake. He is busy now exploring the contents of Hale's phone. The lucky charm is with him, he successfully made Hale so drank.

First, he opened the gallery. The latest photo he seen is from yesterday's ones. It's a selfie between Xander and Hale.

"It's not only confirmed, it's already a fact that Xander and my girlfriend are dating. How could you betray me, Xander! How dare you!"

He explored more pictures until he found a video recording. In the first place, his impression is the clip is just a porn, but when he opened the video, it's a sex video of Hale and Xander!

He almost dropped the phone, he is lucky because he is sitting at the center of the bed. He cannot take the big revelation, the video didn't sinked in to his mind.

It's disturbing and disgusting for him, how dare Hale did this. He accepted Hale as slut and he enjoyed fucking him, but why he didn't have a video recorder with him about their sex? He felt jealous so much and dumped.

The video is not enough for him, he explored further. Not until he found a diary saying "Armando is not totally my boyfriend. I am not serious, I am just granting his dreams. I will choose a lover with a same level as mine. I am lucky I have the guts to waste some time with Armando, but I hate it I am enjoying the way he fucks me."

"What did you... What did you just say? Bullshit! So both of you are betraying me! I hate you so much! Tomorrow, I am going to breakup with you! Let's see if you can still cheat! Fuck you, ashoole!"

He started to cry when he discovered enough secrets of Hale. He just wanted to be loved, he thought that Hale is one of a kind and different from other woman.

He felt heartbroken, his heart is aching and he felt it literally. He sounds terrible while his tears falling down. Since Hale is deeply sleeping, his cries cannot be heard by him.

He left the phone on the bed and he went to the dining table. Finally, he recorded and got everything from Hale's phone. But since he is hurting, he want himself to be drank.

He drank the whole liquor directly on the bottle. He take the brandy as he is drinking a cola. When he felt dizzy, he stopped drinking and went to bed.

8:00 a.m.

Hale yawned then massaged his head. He noticed that Armando is not with his side, so he assumed that his boyfriend left the room doing busy things.

Just a second has passed, the door opened. Armando welcomed him with a sharp stare. Hale walked backwards as his boyfriend was walking forward.

"A-Armando, what's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hale felt terrified of how his boyfriend acting right now. He misunderstood what was going on, he wondered why Armando stared badly at him. He asked himself what mistake he made to him, they were on good terms last night and now it looks like he will be scolded.

Unexpectedly, Armando kicked the table until it flew to the other corner. He went to Hale and then held his arms harshly.

"Ouch! Oh! Ouch! Armando, what's wrong with you? What's the problem? If you have a problem, please don't hurt me! Let's talk about it so we can settle."

"Oh, nice! You already know that we have a problem. Well, let's see if you also knew what is the reason why I am hurting you."

Hale felt nervous and he gasped fast. The madness of Armando sent shivers down his spine. He thought he had an idea why his boyfriend acted so furious.

His hands are trembling, he cannot speak a single word. He frosts like an iceberg, he doesn't even answer the question. He is already busted, his secrets were discovered due to his carelessness. It was clear to him now, that he remembered that he was drunk and forgot to unlock his phone.

"A-A-Armando... If this is all about my affair, please forgive me."

"It's not easy to forgive if the mistake is so fucking sinful! You played my feelings, you broke my heart! You destroy my soul into pieces! How dare you cheat on me! Huh! How dare you!"

"I am so very sorry... I... I... I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Do you think a sorry will heal the pain you put on me? Huh!"

Blag!

"Armando, please don't kick the chairs. Don't hurt me physically, please. I'm begging you."

"Wow! Just wow! You are begging now, huh? Fuck you!"

Blag!

Hale left the bed and then kneeled in front of Armando. "Please, I am begging you. Don't do this to me."

"Stand up. I said stand up! I'm not a god, so don't kneel on me. Do you know why I am so mad at you? It's because you had sex with Xander many times! And you even recorded a video, but on ours you didn't. How unfair! Do you think is it okay to entertain with another guy? It's worse that you fucked with my boss! You are too young to have an affair with a twenty-eight-year-old man!"

Hale became shocked at the revelation. He is doomed now. Armando already knew about his sex video and didn't expect Xander and he has a big age gap.

He is speechless and doesn't know what to say. He remains silent while Armando is shouting at him.

"Do you have a copy of the sex videos? Please don't spread it."

"Why? Are you afraid? You are scared that if these videos boom, your future will be destroyed. You will also be the reason for the downfall of my boss."

"Please, don't do it. If you love me so much, you will not do it."

"Of course I love you. But do you think I will forgive and forget the scandal you did easily?"

"If you are still mad at me, maybe let's have time to chill and calm down."

"That's right! Let's temporarily cut our relationship. Bye!"

Armando grabbed his things and organized the table he kicked. He left the room and closed the door forcefully. Even if he had gone wild earlier, he could not stop himself from crying. His tears fell immediately and he caught his breath as he was too emotional.

Hale cried loudly while covering his eyes with a blanket. He felt heartbroken, his heart ached. Now he knew that once he cheated, he could destroy a relationship.

He doubted that Armando will not come back. "Armando, I am so sorry. I thought you could not discover what am I doing. This is my fault, I must blame why our relationship turned to ice. I hope Xander is not the next to know, I will die if there is another fight."

"I don't believe in cool-offs, Armando just broke up with me. Who am I to be loved? I'm an ashoole cheater."

While he is repenting for his mistakes, he receives an incoming call. He picked up his phone and saw who was calling him.

When he saw the name of Xander, he rejected the call. Xander wondered why he was rejected.

From: My Future Boss

Hey, what's up? What's going on, Hale? Do you have a problem? Let's talk.

Hale cannot decide if he will reply. He had a trauma, he is experiencing an illusion that once he talked to Xander he felt being slapped by Armando.

"I'm sorry, Xander. I cannot talk with you, I need space. Give me time to heal and to forget what Armando did to me."

He ignored the messages of Xander. He just slept to relax. He opened the music player and listened to jazz music.

After an hour...

He woke up as he was already starving. He picked up the telephone and requested to bring him breakfast. After a minute, the door rang and he opened it to let the bellboy in.

He forgot the incident happened earlier. He is fine now. He promised that he would not accept any form of apology from Armando. He has the authority to reject someone if that person hurts him.

He is comfortable now to talk with Xander, so he contacted him.

"Xander, it's me, Hale."

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I am. How about you?"

"I am so feeling nervous right now. I had a bad dream. The scene seemed real, and the worst is it has a resemblance to what you told me. I don't know why my dream is like that?"

"W-What? What did you say?"

Hale dropped his phone. His hands are trembling, even his jaw too.

"I think I have an idea... The mystery of my bad dream... It is the... Uhhm... It's the revenge of Armando! Oh no! It must not be!"
