The Playboy’s Downfall novel Chapter 81

APOLLO was sending messages to Zero’s social media account when suddenly, Isla softly whimpered.

Isla opened her eyes and her forehead creased as she wondered where she was. She moved her head, and her gaze darted to Apollo.

“Hey,” Apollo greeted as he moved closer to her, “—how are you feeling?”

She tried to get up, but she could feel that her body was weak. “W-Why am I here?” she asked.

Apollo sighed and sat down on the chair. “Aren’t you feeling unwell the past few days? Are you having a hard time at school?”

“What did the doctor say?”

“It’s because of stress—”

“Yeah, staying up late at night because of my activities is the reason,” she uttered and sighed. “Can I go home now?” she added.

Apollo shook his head. “No. It’s not,” he said, which made Isla turn her gaze on him.

“W-What do you mean?” she asked.

Apollo looked intently at her. “I want to ask you a question. Please, answer it honestly, okay?”

Suddenly, Isla started to feel jitters. It seems like Apollo found out something.

“I will not get mad at you. I just want you to answer me, honestly,” Apollo cleared.

Isla then nodded as she pulled the white blanket above her chest.

“Did you have sex with Zero?”

The moment Isla heard about it, her eyes widened, her heart thumped fast, and her mind was sent haywire. She doesn’t know, but the fear lingers on her as her hands start to tremble.

“Princess…” Apollo called, but still, she did not react, “—I will not get mad at you. I just want to know the truth, to tell the truth…” he asserted.

Isla frowned because of the sudden confusion because of Apollo’s words. “W-What truth do I need to know—” she didn’t finish talking when her brother cut her off.

“Answer my question first, Princess. Did you have sex with Zero?” he asked once again. Even if Isla won’t answer it, Apollo already knows the truth. However, he just wants to hear it from his sister.

‘Damn it,’ he cursed inside him when he saw how tears poured down his sister’s cheeks. He sighed. “Princess… I will not get mad at—” he paused when he saw Isla nod.

“Y-Yes. I did,” she replied and lifted her head to meet Apollo’s gaze, “—I am so s-sorry—” she choked.

Apollo grabbed her right hand and tapped it. he flashed a smile at her. “It’s okay. With Zero, of course, he won’t control himself, and he dared to seduce—”

Isla stopped and looked at him. “You’re making my condition worst,” she joked as she laid her back on the hospital bed and stared at the ceiling.

“I’m just trying to lighten your mood. Anyway, congratulations and to us,” Apollo uttered, making her face turn in his direction.

She met his eyes and frowned. “What are you saying?”

“Mom will gonna be a grandma soon,” he replied.

Isla’s eyes grew bigger. “You impregnated—”

“And I’m gonna be an uncle soon,” he added.

“Wow—w-wait… What?” Isla asked as her heart started to thump fast.

“You’re four weeks pregnant,” Apollo said, and when Isla heard it, her world started to spin faster, and chills lingered in her body. Did she listen to it right? Then suddenly, tears streamed down her cheeks.

ZERO CAN’T slept for days now. It’s been a week or two since he received messages from Apollo. Stating: “Karma will haunt you down!” Apollo sent it fifty times, which really creeped the hell out of him.

Did he do something again—it’s not that he’s afraid of karma since there’s good or bad. And he knew the bad one was for him. But he just did what was suitable for him and Isla. He loves the girl so much that he can’t let her life be at risk.
