Chapter 2
916 Words
Maddison was glad that Lucas didn’t have any recollection of what happened earlier and she was apologetic when he regained his consciousness. “Are you okay?” She examined his body for possible injuries but Lucas pushed her away. She bit her bottom lip as she absorbed the reason for his action.
“You lied to me, Maddison!” He yelled at the woman who misled him into thinking that her family approved of their relationship.
“Baby, I’m sorry but I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings,” she reasoned out and tried to get up to go to him, but he gestured for her to remain where she was.
Lucas shook his head to dismiss her stupid excuse. “Do you think I’m happy now?” He shouted, and then he left without saying anything. He was furious that his plan didn’t work to his advantage. He was mad as hell at Maddison for being a liar!
Maddison was aghast that Lucas didn’t want to listen to her explanation and she realized that he was so selfish. He only cared about his feelings and completely disregarded that she was also hurting!
As she watched him walked away, a sickening pain shot through her chest and she pressed her palm on top of it to lessen the agony. It was all she could do so that she wouldn’t collapse to the floor and wither in misery.
Ten seconds had passed, then twenty, and thirty, but the pain never subsided. She chose him but in the end, he chose to break her spirit. She felt betrayed and used! She tried to ignore the painful throbbing of her heart but his rejection earlier continued to bother her.
As she tried to come up with a valid reason why he refused to listen to her, a feeling of lightheadedness and nausea took over her body, and she felt like she would pass out in a few moments. Panic slowly took over her as she ran towards the sink and threw up.
With the passing of each moment, Maddison began to worry because her condition became worse. Her entire body trembled as she kept on throwing up into the sink. Weak and exhausted, she crawled back to the sofa to rest for a bit. She massaged her temple to block out the pain, but it was still there and rolled down on her cheeks.
She was alone and lonely in their dream house.
She waited for him to come home that night but he failed to show up.
For several days, she waited for him, and yet there was no sign of him coming home. She tried calling his phone but it was turned off!
Where are you, Lucas?
She was worried to death that something happened to him while he was away! She contemplated about reporting his absence to the authority but she managed to restrain herself.
After seven days, he came home, but he wasn’t alone. He came with a foxy woman and Maddison was surprised at his disrespectful behavior. “Who is she?” She asked innocently when she had the chance to be alone with Lucas.
“She’s my girlfriend,” he replied without considering her feelings. He was done with her, and she should get lost!
All at once, the world seemed to spin around her and a sharp pain assaulted her entire body. It was so painful that she wanted to vomit and hoped that the pain would come out with it. “W-what about me, baby?” She was teary-eyed while asking Lucas about her position in his life. She trusted him! She chose him for goodness sake!
“You can just leave,” he replied.
“What? How about the baby?” Yes, she was pregnant and it was the reason why she was devastated at his betrayal and rejection. Maybe if there’s no baby involved, she would be fine.
“Are you pregnant?” He asked, and she nodded. “Then, get rid of it!” He ordered.
Maddison gritted her teeth and let out a short grunt at his callousness. “How dare you!” She snapped at Lucas for being mean, nevertheless, she was determined to keep going, and to simply swallow the pain and her pride.
“My feelings changed,” he said.
She snorted at his stupid excuse! One deep breath followed another as she tried to mask the discomfort she felt at the moment. “Is it about the money?” Finally, she dared to ask him the question she dreaded to ask for a week.
“No, it’s about your honesty! Don’t you get it, Maddison? You lied to me! You made me believe that your parents approved our relationship!” He shouted at her.
As she listened to his outburst, she realized that she made a mistake. Although her intention was noble, she didn’t consider that he would be hurt because of her lie. “I’m sorry, baby. I’ll do anything, just give me another chance!” She begged him.
“I don’t know,” he replied in a cold voice.
“Please? Just give me one more chance, please baby.” She immediately kneeled in front of him and begged him to consider her request, but Lucas shook his head. As he continued to deny her request, a burning sensation radiated from her chest. Several voices inside her head told her to just let it go and moved on with her life…without him! But how?
“I’m not sure but in the meantime, can you transfer to one of the guest rooms?” He asked her to vacate their bedroom in favor of Jasmine Fox, his new girlfriend.
“What did you say?” She asked to confirm if she heard it correctly.
“You have to stay in the guest room…or you can just leave.” He repeated.
