Chapter 148: To Despise Me

So far, Raine had succeeded in diverting Tyrone's attention towards her as she and Tyrone shared a passionate kiss.

"I thought you're sore?" Tyrone whispered on her lips.

"I still am. Why? I'm just kissing you," Raine whispered back with a seductive smile.

Tyrone let out a long sigh and complained, "But I'm not even close to a saint. Please don't tempt me. I can't promise that kissing is enough for me if you won't stop."

Raine chuckled as she quickly moved out from his lap. Instead, she sat beside him, resting her head on his shoulder while hugging his arm.

"This is nice. So solemn and relaxing. I bet the sunset view here is nice as well." Raine murmured.

"Yeah, we'll have to wait for the sunset before leaving. You can swim around if you're getting bored of fishing," Tyrone murmured. 

Taking casual offense, Raine grabbed the rod once more and said, "I'm not bored at all. How about we make a bet? Whoever catches more fish can ask for one request from the other."

Tyrone chuckled, "Sure, why not? Prepare to grant me that request then."

Raine smirked, "You're too confident. Just wait and see if you can beat me."

"Let's set a timer. We should leave before five-thirty PM, so that's one hour," Tyrone suggested. 

With a nod, Raine agreed.

After an hour…

"Can we add a bit more time on the clock, please? Look, the sun is still up," Raine pleaded.

Tyrone shook his head and grabbed the fishing rod from her. She had a frown on her face as Tyrone pulled her up to make her sit in front of him. He had a blanket and hugged Raine with it.

"I won already. You won't beat me even if we stay that long. Let's just enjoy the sunset now," he murmured in her ear, hugging her from her back tightly. 

Raine comfortably rested her back and head on his chest. "What's that one request you want me to grant?" she curiously asked.

"For you to stay by my side…" Tyrone murmured. 

Raine's body stiffened immediately. Tyrone felt it instantly, making his face dim at the implication. "Is it so hard?" he couldn't help but question.

"Yeah… I'm not sure if I can't grant you that request. Can you just change it and make another easy request?"

Tyrone felt as if his heart was burning. He tried to compose himself as he said in jest, "I never thought that I'm someone who's that hard to be with. You do know that you just stabbed me with a double-edged knife straight to the heart, right?"

"You're a mutant, Tyrone. I already know about it. I'm a hunter, and you know that. I kill mutants because that's part of my responsibility…" Raine neutrally responded. "We're from different worlds. It's an ill-fated relationship, and I'm sure you're aware of that as well."

"That's bullshit when you're not even a real Yue. So technically, you don't have a responsibility!" Tyrone burst. He tried his best to keep his calm despite being on the verge of losing it. Raine's words were just as good as turning him down! He couldn't accept it. No! He wouldn't accept it at all!

"How did you know?" Raine questioned with a frown. Her relationship with her father could be questionable, but none were even aware that her father was not a Yue except for Lyne, Mia, and Levi, who she believed wouldn't dare tell Tyrone about it. 

Raine's face paled… Was her hunch about Tyrone right all along?

There was a pause from Tyrone. He looked like someone who had been caught off-guard, but he immediately countered, "Aire told me about the torn pages from one of the Mirage diaries… Including the one that said that your father wasn't a real Yue…"

Raine should've felt relief by those words, but somehow, she didn't. She looked at Tyrone intently, doubt highly evident on her face.

"Right, I'm not a real Yue… Yet, I'm still part of the Moon Clan, and it's my people and my family. My father will wake up soon, and you know that he won't accept a mutant like you for me. Don't you dare ask me to choose between you and my father either…" Raine weakly uttered. 

In response, Tyrone hugged her tightened. Raine didn't complain.

"I… I will…"

"Stop! Please…" Raine cut him off from saying any more words. Tyrone's face fell even further.  "Like I said, let's talk about things more seriously once I wrap up Xander's case. And I hope that we will honor each other's decision by then," she whispered. "Right now, I'm honestly a mess, Tyrone. Things are far from easy for me. Everything seems borderline impossible, so please, don't push me too hard…" 

There was only silence between them. No one knew what was going inside each other's heads at the moment, but Raine somehow trusted that she made herself clear with him. It would be better not to keep his hopes high.

"It's getting dark now. I'll maneuver the yacht back to shore…" Tyrone plainly said before leaving Raine alone at the deck.

Raine got up as well. She followed Tyrone to the bridge, hugging him from behind without uttering a word. Tyrone let out a sigh but chose not to say a word as well.

If only things were easy… If only she could choose to be selfish, then she could just run away with Tyrone whenever and wherever she wanted… But things were fucked up… So messed up that it would take her far too much time to fix everything. She wouldn't even dare to ask Tyrone to wait until she was finished settling her affairs.

"Just keep this in mind. I will do anything… no matter what… just to have you and keep you by my side. Even if that means you have to despise me…" Tyrone firmly declared.

'Despise him? Could I despise Tyrone? Could I really despise someone I love?' Raine silently questions herself.
