Chapter Ten
1006 Words
Everybody thinks our honeymoon has been the best. He has been avoiding me. Most annoying aspect is, we had to return from our honeymoon early. I so badly want to be in his arms but no, he wouldn"t give me the chance. I feel so lonely, I wish I had Paige with me. He hardly stays at home. My anger is already
fading away. I just don"t understand why he"s still angry. When he"s home too, he drowns himself
working. I walk to his study. He stares at me as I walk closer to him. I swallow the lump in my throat. I
know he"s definitely going to insult me. He"s going to tell me how disgusted he is by me.
"What do you want?!!!"
Oh good. Just good. Shout!!! "We need to talk. Please."
"I"m working. I"m busy. Come when I"m less busy." He said without looking at me.
"No, I want to talk now!!!" This time he raises his head to meet mine.
"If you are here to talk rubbish, then you"ll be wasting your breath."
"Honestly, why are you treating me this way? You have no right to behave this way. We were going to
divorce after a year. We weren"t going to get involved. We were going to live our lives separately."
"We were? Did we change it? What?!!!"
"I was never going to divorce you anyway. I made my agent change that part. And I think I did right!!! If I
had known you were Alex, I would"ve stayed."
We both silently stare into each other"s eyes. I slowly say to him.
"Please, I know I"m at fault...too. I"m sorry. I don"t know what to apologize to, but please let"s go back to
how we were when we first met. I want Alex. Please I"ll be a good wife. I"ll...I will do anything you want.
Let"s be like a normal couple. I"m sorry, I know you were angry before I left. When I left, you were so
furious and i...I"m sorry. Please give us a chance. Please."
I almost fell on my knees. I love him but he doesn"t. I don"t know what he"s feeling right now. He"s just...
"If Alex and Acel were different, and I had gone there to claim you, will you have still chosen Acel?"
I don"t know. I sincerely don"t know what to say to him. Why is he bringing this up?
"Do you want to know the truth? I wanted to have you two...all to myself. But I didn"t want to break your
heart so I didn"t say yes to you."
"That doesn"t answer my question."
"What do you want to hear? I don"t have an answer to your question."
"I"m sorry."
Did I hear him say he"s sorry? Or it"s my ears that are playing tricks on me!!!
"I"m sorry for blaming you. I was wondering if Zach hadn"t asked me to join him at the club, you would"ve met someone else and..."
"And I would"ve been with that person, then a week later, I"ll marry Acel and get divorced a year later."
He smiles and my heart melts. That smiles does a lot to my heart.
"I was actually looking for you that night. I drove every guy away, you know. You paid for our meal and I
was like, I want to be with that gorgeous man who paid for my meal, no not that way but when the
waitress showed us the two of you, I saw you first and I felt something...I didn"t know what it was but
since then, I have been thinking and dreaming about you...wait!!! They told us our suite was in the list of
the VVIP. Since Zach is in charge, are you the one who place us in the list?"
He nods and we both laugh. I miss this part of him. It"s good I came downstairs to talk to him.
"Zach took interest in your sister first. He told me to look your way. I did and you both naturally looked
pretty."
"Looked?"
"You always look beautiful, pretty...Hmm!! And when I met you at the club, you told me you wanted a
weekend fling. I gave in because I was attracted to you. I didn"t mean to feel more than we bargained for. So I asked you to stay with me, when I realized I couldn"t let you go. I was hoping you felt the same. When you said no, I was so...frustrated. I..."
"Why? Because nobody has ever said no to you?"
"No, because you said no to me. And that was like a huge blow. I was willing to lose that contract...if you
had stayed with me. I couldn"t force you to marry me...it will be so wrong. I know you"ll freak out and...I
didn"t want that. It was just a week since we"ve known each other."
He pushes me closer to him. My head remains on his chest as he talks.
"When I realized you were the one I married, I was like, what the? I was so miserable when you said no.
Because it simply meant one thing, you didn"t like me. So it means you married me not because you likedme but because you wanted to pay your debt."
"Yes, I don"t like you. I don"t."
His smile suddenly turns into a frown. I smile at him. He looks confused.
"What I feel, isn"t just like. I love you. I have fallen in love with you."
He smiles at me. And I almost feel small again. He carries me.
"Say it again. Shout it!!!"
"I love you!!!! I love you soooooo much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. To grow old with you and have many children with you."
"I love you too. So much that it hurts."
I feel so happy. Oh God, thank you.
"Do you want us to start with the baby making now? It"s been long since I slept in my...our bed."
"Sure. I"ll love to start making babies now."
