My Revenge His Regret

Chapter 25

Analisa's POV

The last few days passed quickly and I was successful in cockblocking Austin. I had fun ruining his attempts to get intimate with someone. Me and Ryan had a contest going about how fast we could ruin Austin's chances. Ryan did not agree at first but he eventually gave in. Austin was up early this morning trying to sneak out before we had to leave for the flight. I scared him when he made his way outside. He must have forgotten I am up at 4am every morning because he was surprised by seeing me up. I had already gone for my daily run when he was exiting.

He screamed and woke up Ryan, who was in full protective mode. He thought I was the one who screamed. Austin was embarrassed when we laughed. I think this was the first time I ever heard a guy scream like a woman.

The flight back was peaceful, of course. My flight attendant was very helpful on the flight. I will be landing in a few seconds.

Finally, the jet touched the ground and I was ready to get out. Austin chartered a jet this time for the return and Ryan is accompanying him. Hopefully he is doing what I asked of him. I have a meeting to attend in half an hour, so I have to wait until they land. They were right behind me. They should be landing shortly.

I waited for 10 minutes until they landed. Once they did, Ryan was the first to get off the jet and made his way to me. He was annoyed and when I asked him why, he said Austin slipped him sleeping pills. My eyes darkened and I boarded the jet, not spotting Austin but hearing a low moan. I walked to the door and knocked but heard a "come back in 20 minutes." I said in a chilling voice. "Austin, if you are doing what I think you are doing, then I suggest you rethink your actions. Actually you know what continue on. I am going to go find the pilot of this jet. He was very appealing to the eyes."

As I am stepping off the jet, Austin is right behind me breathing heavily. He went to touch my arm for the cameras. I leaned closer to him and said sharply with a smile on my face, "Touch me and die." He straightened himself as he saw me eye his appearance.

I strode to my car and pointed to Austin's car when I felt him following me. "Your car is over there. I have a meeting to attend. So I will leave first. I have already wasted enough time." Entering into the car, I notice Ryan typing away on his laptop. I smiled before pulling out the folder with the information I needed to study. Lucky for me, I only need to read it once. That is why I delayed reading it. I wanted it to be fresh in my mind for the meeting.

"Ryan, would you like to head this meeting while I observe?" He turns to me quickly with wide eyes. "If you want me to, I will." I shake my head gently, "No it is not if I want you to. I asked if you wanted to take the opportunity to showcase your skills." He bit his luscious bottom lip and I licked my lips and gazed at his lips while tilting my head. I was completely mesmerized by the action. I could not hear a word he spoke, only saw his mouth moving. Until he waved his big masculine hand in my face, breaking my daze.

"I would be honored to accept this opportunity you offered me." He says with a smile. Ignoring the fact that I just stared at his lips with lustfilled eyes. I nodded and gave him a little smile. I am excited to see him in action again but this time with very important people present and this deal is worth billions.

I sent a text to the person following Austin asking his whereabouts. I got a text back immediately saying he was at Declan's house. I raised a brow, curious about what he was doing there. I figured he would go see one of his flings first, since I had been blocking his chances for intimacy the entire time we were on the "honeymoon." I decided to leave as is.

Within minutes, we arrived at the location for the presentation. Did I mention I too own commercial properties as well as a few clubs? Well, I needed investments so I did what I had to. I will not be in show business forever and will need an income coming from somewhere. I hide this information because I do not want anyone to know what I am doing on the side. My parents and Austin, would try and take advantage.

I zoned out during the meeting and only caught snippets of what was said in the meeting. I am confident in Ryan's abilities and have it recorded. I said goodbye and left with Ryan.

I dropped Ryan off at his home and made my way to Declan's house to fetch my stupid husband. We need to go look at some houses for us to live in in the future. Yes, that is in the agreement. We must live under one roof. I fought hard to get it removed but they would not budge because we needed to uphold the image of a happy married couple.

The drive was even faster than the meeting. I was welcomed by Declan's mother, telling me they were outside on the patio. Walking onto the patio, my eyes automatically spot Declan and the sight breaks my heart even more. The girl he brought to the wedding was sitting on his lap like I used to. I guess when he told Austin he hoped he was ready for competition he was not counting himself. I kept myself from not allowing my heartbreak to show when all eyes landed on me. I guess he really moved on so fast when I am still struggling. Yeah, I think about Ryan but my thoughts always go back to Declan.

The girl stands and approaches me to shake my hand, but I ignore it and face Austin. "My dear husband, we have to go. Sorry I am cutting your visit short babe. We have to house shop. Maybe we can also get a vacation home in a different state." I said, facing Declan with my last words, causing him to flinch at the harshness in my tone. The girl said, "What size are you looking for? Maybe we can look together." I hate myself but I cannot speak to her. My heart would not even let me face the poor girl.

Austin answers rudely in my place, "I doubt you would be able to afford anything we are looking at. And why are you even looking for a house when my cousin will be inheriting this manor? Are you two not dating? I thought you were both serious. I mean he brought you with him to my wedding to his ex-girlfriend and, not to mention, they were so in love, so that would be an unnecessary thing to do if he wanted to prove he was okay with us getting married. Analisa did not want to marry me to begin with. She always planned to marry Declan and would have if not for me." The girl looked shocked and hurt. Declan was watching my face for a reaction but I gave none. I turned my attention to Austin and said in a gentle voice, "Austin, why bring up what could have been when only one of us fought to keep the other? You won, no need to rub salt into a wound that is still healing. Now let's leave, please I beg of you."

I turned and walked out of the mansion, but as I got into the car a tear rolled down my cheek. My heart hurts and so does my head. Austin was brave when speaking to that girl and his cousin, but never when facing me. Declan did not even deny then being together nor did he give a response. I knew that he would give up and not fight. Cowardice runs in his family. How could he give her my spot so quickly? I still wake up crying out for Declan and want him to comfort me. The night Ryan hugged me, I turned in my sleep and scooted away from him because I felt like I was cheating on Declan. Just like when I kissed Ryan my mind would think of Declan.

How does one truly let go of someone they thought would be their whole world for eternity only to realize that eternity was actually only a few years? Did our relationship not mean as much to him as it did to me? Declan brought peace and happiness into my life and I thought I did the same. What about what my godmother told me about his love for me? Was she wrong or did she not want to hurt me anymore? I want answers, but I also want to sleep and not wake up for 50 years. Maybe just maybe my problems will not be problems anymore.

I started to hear shouting and I looked out the window to see Declan, Declan's mom, the girl shouting and Austin, who had a look of amusement on his face. I get out and listen to the shouting match, trying to see who I can calm down first. Declan's mom shouts, "You hurt the only girl who ever loved you for you Declan, how could you hurt her like that? She was always there for you, not like that girl you brought who seems to be a fling. Do you even really know who that girl is? I mean, come on, how does she look like a cheaper version of Analisa and not to mention they are similar. That is not a coincidence, it can't be. Open your eyes before you lose the best thing to ever come into your life. You know she made it better. This is you insulting her without you saying our relationship meant nothing. See, I found another you, no problem."

My throat was dry so I tried to swallow but couldn't as I awaited Declan's response, but it didn't come. The girl shouted, "f**k you! Your family thinks they are better than me. Analisa is easy to copy. She is a f*****g public figure and I am her fan. It is not my fault, your son is so gullible and he fell in love with me." Her last six words made it feel like she was stabbing my heart with each word.

I stared at Declan who was looking at me, "I am sorry I made a mistake. I love you baby." His first sentence rung on repeat in my head. He made a mistake. What mistake. Falling in love is not a mistake. Or was our relationship a mistake? He said he loved me, but what type of love allows you to replace the one you love?"

"Deck how long have you been doing what you and I did with her?" He shook his head and said in a low raspy voice, "3 months after I met her." I nodded and said in a hoarse voice because I am fighting the tears. "3 months after you promised me you would love me forever and you would always be there for me. 3 months and you let her take my place. You always told me no one else would ever sit on you in any way and you would kiss the lips of another like you kissed mine, much less love someone like you did me. Every word you have ever told me is a lie. I can see now you did not value our relationship like I did. I am officially glad Austin did what he did because he showed me your true colors. I hate you Declan. I will never forgive you and I hope, anytime you have success, in the future, you remember me, but as I am now with tears in my eyes and my heart broken in a million pieces because I loved you and believed in you. This is what you gave me in return." I turned to Declan's mother and I said in a whisper, "I will always respect you and I love you no matter what. You were a role model for me. I appreciate you and all that you and your husband have done for me. Thank you."

I walked to Austin, grabbed his arm gently and weakly pulled him with me into the car so we could leave. During the car ride, I gave in and cried on his shoulder. The hurt and betrayal I felt was overwhelming.

I guess this is Karma for how I have been with Austin.
