Secrets That Led To Betrayal

Raimundo's POV

"I'm sorry to hear that bro . . . At least she let you down easy." Brazil spoke trying to cheer me up.

I was sitting in the living room with just Brazil as the rest of my brothers went to sleep. I decided to tell Brazil what everything that happened between Kim and I as he is the oldest and the only person I tell about stuff like this. He is the most understanding when it comes to stuff like this. I just laid on the couch sighing away as he tried to help comfort me.

"Look Rai I know you might not like this, but I think Kimiko does just need to figure things out for herself. I don't believe she's trying to hurt you . . . I think she's more afraid of being hurt by the one she loves . . . Give her time Raimundo . . ." Brazil explained.

It was a long night and I just needed some rest. I said good-night to my brother before heading to my rom. As I walked down the hall, I turned and saw the room Kimiko was sleeping in. I saw the door slightly cracked. I was about to reach my hand to the door knob, but stopped. I was just about to turn away, until I heard the door crack open more. I slowly opened the door and the noticed the window open with the curtains flying against the wind. I turned on the lights quickly and noticed Kimiko wasn't in bed.

"Damn it!" I exclaimed running out of her room and out the door of my house.

She's an idiot! She's gone back to get the information from Julien without me knowing. No wonder she gave that little talk today with me.

Kimiko's POV

"Well look who decided to join us again, please sit and have a drink." Julien grinned at me as I just sat down not taking the drink.

"I take it Raimundo your little boyfriend doesn't know you've come on your own." He spoke again.

"He's not the matter right now. . . The matter is I need the information you have on Marcel." I replied looking at him with a determine face as he grinned.

"I gave you my offer, but Raimundo refused-." He explained, but I interrupted.

"Raimundo doesn't speak for me. I'm perfectly capable of speaking for myself." I stated.

I watched as his grinning face slowly diminished into a more serious one. Soon enough though he put on another grinning face as he leaned back in his chair and stared at me.

"Alright, but answer me this . . . What if the information I have has something to deal with Raimundo?" He questioned me as I looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It's exactly as I said. I can tell he told you little about Marcel and his relationship, but he didn't tell you everything did he. Your reaction wouldn't be so calm if you knew the real truth about his past."

"The real truth?" I questioned.

"The one on why he actually betrayed Marcel." He answered.

What does he mean the real truth about Raimundo's past. There was only one way I was going to find out about it and I didn't have a choice. This information may actually be of some use even if it does involve Rai.

"I'll accept your offer into entertaining you for a couple of hours. Though I don't exactly know what you want me to do to keep you entertained. Be warned though, I'm not one of those girls you had around your arms a couple of hours ago." I explained and he only smirked at me.

"The only thing I need you to do is listen carefully about what I'm about to tell you. Your reaction will be the one thing that will truly entertain me." He grinned.

I clenched my hands into a fist and then looked to him trying to stay calm. I slowly nodded to him and he grinned even more.

"You don't really know much about Raimundo's past other then what he told you. When he and Marcel met they were great friends at the time and with Marcel he experienced a lot of things, been with a lot of people, and even slept with some of them." He grinned and I started to feel now uneasy on where this conversation was going.

"Raimundo was a true player at the time being with one night stand after the other. However, on one ordinary day Marcel brought some one very close to him to meet Raimundo. Laura . . . Marcel's dear sister . . . She was as beautiful as a gem and had a smile like an angel, enough so to capture the attention of Raimundo." He explained and then my heart began to ache a little inside as he continued.

"They started to see each other behind Marcel's back for quite a while, until he caught them both in bed. At first Marcel was furious with Raimundo, but Raimundo explained that she was the only girl for him and that he truly loved. That she was the one for him. Marcel of course believed him and let him continue to see his sister." He continued and I felt my heart breaking inside more.

"He said he loved her?" I questioned and he grinned by my response.

"Jealous are we?" He spoke and I tensed up even more and soon I felt his hand go around my neck.

"I understand how must feel about this, but there's still more information you need to know." He said as I looked into his eyes and noticed a smirk appear on his face.

"However, little did Marcel know that Raimundo would end up breaking her heart. It's because of Raimundo though that he began to change her for the worst, by bringing her with him wherever he went. She too got to experience everything just like Raimundo did. Raimundo was still at the time a partier, drinker, and above all a player. He never stayed faithful to Laura and when she found out well . . . let's just say that thanks to Raimundo's influence on Laura she knew how to coop with stress. After she found out that he wasn't faithful to her, she decided to get high and let her mind at easy. Eventually she called him up to meet her at this hotel room on the top floor." He smirked and then he leaned closer to me into my ear.

"Guess what happened when he got to the hotel room." Julien whispered to me as I flinched by the sudden softness of his voice.

"The room was completely trashed and when he saw the window had been opened, he looked out the window to only see Laura on the other side of a different hotel siting on the edge of the window. She told him that he saw him with another women and that she felt betrayed. Raimundo at the time was at a panic as she began to toss her shoes off as they hit the ground. She was still high of course and said that she'd forgive him, if he'd jump with her. Saying that this world wasn't really and that both weren't needed here and that they could have a better life in the afterlife. Of course Raimundo refused and told her to get down from there, but she didn't listen. Soon enough she jumped and he watched her fall to her death." Julien said to me.

My eyes were widen by the shock of all of this and I started to feel dizzy and sick inside. I didn't know exactly if any of this was true, but then soon enough he started to make me believe it was true.

"After Laura's death, how could Raimundo even face Marcel again? Once Marcel found out he was furious with Raimundo and vowed to kill him. He betrayed Marcel, by not only killing the only family he had left, but by also running away and leaving him alone." He said and I stood up and glared at Julien.

"I don't believe you . . .! I don't believe Raimundo would do any of those things!" I shouted and he laughed.

"But he did my dear . . . Think about it . . . He didn't want you to stay with me because he knew I knew about his past and didn't want you finding out. Deep down Raimundo knows why Marcel is working with Chase . . . because Marcel wants the only thing Chase could provide him . . . revenge . . . It's as simple as that. If you don't believe me why don't you ask Raimundo yourself." He said.

As if right on cue, I watched as Raimundo barged into the doors of Lucky Thirteen. I stared at him with shock as he walked toward us looking pissed off. When he made it over here, I watched as Julien's men pulled out there guns and pointed it to Rai, but he still kept his glare on Julien.

"Ah Raimundo! We were just talking about you, weren't we?" Julien spoke looking at me as I still stared at Raimundo shocked.

"We're leaving . . . Now!' Rai said coming toward me and pulling on my arm, until I yet again yanked it away from him.

"Kim we're-." Rai spoke, but I interrupted.

"Is it true!?" I questioned.

I could hear Julien in the background giving a hollow laugh as I stared at Raimundo feeling hurt, confused, angry, and even . . . betrayed.

"Is what true?" He asked me and I watched as his expression changed and he looked worried.

"What Julien told me . . . everything about your past . . . including a girl named Laura" I answered.

He flinched as I said her name and his expression changed as he stared at me shocked with his eyes widen. We stood there for a moment, until he spoke again with his voice sounding uneasy.

"La-Laura . . . how-?" He spoke.

"Is it or is it not the truth! Just tell me that's it not true Raimundo and then we can leave!" I demanded and I watched as he stood there now unsure of what to say or do.

I watched as he started to take deep breathes and I watched as he scratched his head as he looked frustrated and stressed now. He looked to me and I felt my heart aching inside every second not knowing the answer. I felt my eyes starting to become watery.

"Rai!" I shouted.

"I wanted to tell you!" He exclaimed and my eyes went even wider.

I watched as he stared at me and saw my expression on my face. Tears slowly started to fall from my eyes. I had never felt so much pain in all my life until right now . . . It was worse than even me being raped . . . I was hurt, angry, confused, and betrayed all because of him . . .! All because he had lied to me . . .!

"So it was all true then . . .! You falling in love with her, betraying her, and her end up killing herself . . .! That was all true!" I shouted at him.

I watched as he tried to come closer to me, but I backed away and looked away from him. I rolled my hands up into a fist and then started to run away. I felt the tears falling as I kept running and not turning back. Why . . .? Why does this always happen to me? All I wanted was to get my life in order and get my powers back, but now it seems my life got even more complicated. I thought I could burry whatever feelings I had for Rai and forget all about it . . . In the end though I always knew that deep down inside . . . I still loved him . . .

Raimundo's POV

"Now that was entertaining to see." Julien grinned as I watched Kimiko run away.

There were so many things I wanted to say and do to Julien, but that would all have to wait. I started to run after Kimiko and followed her all the way back to the house. Once we got inside, I was able to grab her hand before she could make it to her room, but she quickly slapped me across the face.

"How could you!?" She exclaimed as I saw her face and noticed her crying.

"I thought you told me everything about your past! How could you do this to me after everything I told you about my past and how abused and in pain I was!?" She shouted.

"What the hell is going on out here!?" Carlos exclaimed and soon my brothers started to pile up in the living room.

This was just perfect now. I had my brothers here in the living room and the girl I love crying her eyes out because of something I should have told her a long time ago, but was to ashamed of what had happened and what I caused.

"Is everything alright?" Brazil asked and Kimiko answered.

"You lied to me! You told me that you left Marcel because you and your brother wanted out because of what you two were becoming, but that was all just a lie to cover up what had happened to your little lover Laura!" She shouted and my brothers now stood in shock.

"No that was true Kim, I did want to change! I did want to become a better person, but it was just after Laura's death that I realized what I had become . . .!" I explained, but she wouldn't believe me.

"You still lied to me when you told me that I was all you could think about the past three years and that you were in love with me the day we met! Obviously that isn't true since you told Marcel that Laura was the one for you! Not me!" She yelled.

"I do love you Kimiko, I just was going through a rough time and I wasn't myself back then! Please believe me, you're the only person I love!" I exclaimed, but she just laughed in disbelief.

"Well at least there's one thing I'm certain about, which is why Marcel joined Chase! It's because he wants revenge to what you did to his sister!" She shouted and for a moment, I didn't say anything as she was right and then she continued.

"You said it's going to be hard letting me go, yet look how easy it was for you to lose my trust. What even makes it worse is that this pain is worse than the pain I went through two years ago back in Tokyo . . .!" She cried now letting the tear fall out as she glared at him.

"You can forget everything I ever said to you about anything that dealt with us, because everything I felt for you is long gone . . .! Now . . . now your just a stranger to me that I want nothing to deal with!" She exclaimed and then turned to my brothers.

They stared at her in shock, but she quickly wiped the tears away and bowed and apologized before leaving to her room and slamming the door. I watched as my brothers eyes fell on me as I just stared at the ground feeling heart broken and ashamed of myself.

"You didn't tell her . . ." Carlos spoke first and I shook my head almost ready to cry as well.

"I messed up bad guys . . . I messed up real bad and I don't think I'll ever be forgiven now. . ." I said choking out those words.

Soon my brothers tried to comfort me, but I knew the real person who needed comfort wasn't me . . . but Kimiko . . .
