My Revenge His Regret

Chapter 11

Analisa's POV

A few more months have passed since Declan actually went abroad but we have been talking daily. I am not going to lie, it has been hard on me.

Since my last conversation with Austin, I am happy to say he has not appeared in front of me. I still know what he has been doing. By now, that should not be a surprise. I do not like or plan to be blindsided by anyone. I do feel guilty because I could not let Declan go without him being followed. I know for a fact that he has met many people in these last few months. He has gotten much closer with a girl who has a similar appearance to me and, from what I learned about her, she is smart and comes from a small town. I can most definitely say he has a type.

I have been heartbroken by the very fact Ryan has been my support while dealing with it. Once I received the last photo of them together, I knew that our relationship had officially ended. She is more carefree and much nicer than me and he seems happy. I can not blame him at all for having an attraction to her or falling for her because she is what he needs. It is all his cousins' f*****g fault that my future plans were postponed. I am annoyed because soon I have to marry that idiotic boy. My mother and he have been planning the wedding. Yeah, I have not lifted a finger for that wedding and I do not plan on it either.

Speaking of my mother, I look at my phone as it starts to vibrate, lighting up with her caller ID. I roll my eyes and sigh sadly. 'Hello mother....'

'Do not give me an attitude. I need to know what kind of flowers you want for your bouquet. I was going to choose for you, but Austin insisted that you should be the one to choose the flowers and the dress, but I have already made your dress, so no need for your opinion on that.'

'Of course, mother, I already knew you would do as you wished. As for the flowers, tell him I want black flower arrangements along with a black wedding dress. If the dress you made me is not black I will not be wearing it.'

'You ungrateful girl. I will see that the dress has some black trim on it and the flowers should be colorful. This is a joyous occasion. You are marrying a wonderful and thoughtful man.'

'Well, if you think so highly of him, then you marry Austin in my place.' I hung up without waiting for her response.

My phone started to ring again. This time it was Austin. 'Hello, if you are calling to get me to apologize to my mother, then you are wasting your time.' I was about to hang up, he shouted, 'Please wait......I know your mother was a little harsh, but I also know you were too that is why she is so upset right now. I think you should know she just wants the best for you. And I want to make sure you have your dream wedding and dream wedding dress. I will talk to her so you can add whatever you want, okay babe.'

'First, never call me that again. Second, I do not give a flying f**k what the wedding looks like because it means absolutely nothing to me, just like the person I am marrying. Thirdly, I do not care what she wants me to wear, I will be wearing what I want. Lastly, tell her if she does not like it, then she is more than welcome to do what I suggested her to do on my prior call with her.' I abruptly ended the call.

Seriously, today has been super annoying and my persona is starting to crack from all this drama. "You look like you could use a drink." I whipped my head in the direction of the voice. I breathed a sigh of relief seeing it was Ryan. "I thought you were someone else. How long have you been standing in the doorway like that?"

He chuckles. "Long enough to know who annoyed you. I might as well ask the question I have been dying to know. When do I get to play my role in this plan of yours?"

I smile at him. "I see you are excited about playing your role, which you will be playing very soon."

He raised an eyebrow. "How soon? Do I need to brush up on my acting skills? Also, when is Declan coming back? Are you going to be okay with his return?"

I can feel my smile slowly fading. "You will be fine. You are not going for an award. You have been my rock throughout this whole situation and I am so thankful for your help. As for Declan's return, he will be arriving the night before the wedding. I am going to be okay. It has been months, almost a full year, since our break up. I do not expect him to wait for me. I am just surprised how fast he moved on after he left. It shows who loved who more. Anyway, I am being forced into a marriage I want nothing to do with, but I will be getting my revenge. It will take time to make sure it is done right, regardless of who I have to take down to do it." He nods slowly as if he is trying to process all that I have said.

I sometimes wonder what I would do if someone betrayed me, but if I am being honest, I already know what I would do. I have many things but nothing that matters, so I am okay with risking it all. I am glad people underestimate me because no one expects me to do anything bad that could ruin my image. I have been in the game too long, so I know a lot of things beyond my own years. I have also made acquaintances with people who are as beneficial to me as I am to them.

The thing people do not understand about me is that, even though I do not have very many friends, I do know people, including people that I should not know. I also do not make friends with people in the industry because, like I said, it is pretty cutthroat. You never know who will be the one to stab you in the back to save their own image or to ruin yours because you are a threat in their eyes.

Acquiring all types of acquaintances is necessary because they can be helpful. Having unexpected friends is also necessary. A requirement is having loyal staff members that cannot be bought out and used against you.

Ryan clears his throat, bringing me back to reality and out of my own head. "Sorry, did you say something?"

"Yeah, I said you don't have to do it alone.....In the short time I got to know you, I learned there is more to you than you let other people see. You are forced to do many things in your life you want no part of and it has made you numb to the world. You are dealing with the consequences of your parents' bad decisions. I see the sadness in your eyes even when you put on your mask, smiling as if everything is okay. So I want you to know I am at your disposal if you need anything. And I know that there are so many others that will say the same, no questions asked." I give him a small smile. "Thank you. I will make sure who ever assists me gets paid adequately for the job they do." He frowns but says nothing.

I stand and look out the window. I want to scream when I catch a glimpse of my reflection. I can feel my heart breaking from everything happening and I know that pieces of me are now lost from all this chaos that has occurred.

My phone rings again, I look at the caller ID and see it is Austin again. 'Austin.' 'Hello babe I am going to send you a picture of a few floral arrangements. I need your help to decide which ones are the best.'

'Austin, I was dead serious when I said I do not give a flying f**k about the wedding details. Please, I beg you not to call me about this anymore. I have not seen you in months and I have not cared because it has nothing to do with me. I cannot force myself to care about anything revolving around the day I want nothing to do with. We are getting married but, due to the agreement, it is in name only, so I find this whole wedding unnecessary and a complete waste of time.'

'Humor me please. I want our special day to be just that. I love you and I want to show the world that we are together. Why are you still shutting me out?'

'Are you serious right now?' 'Yes, I want to know. I have cut ties with the girls I was hooking up with and I know now that I should have done things differently. I apologize for my previous actions.'

'Austin, I know you are a total numbskull, but the s**t that comes out of your mouth is ridiculous. Congrats on dropping the women offending and assaulting everyone's sense of smell, but do you really think I would believe you? As for your previous actions, well, an apology does nothing to correct the past. The wedding will be special for you, not me. It will do you well to remember that.'

I hear a sniffle. 'Tell me you are not crying because if this makes you cry you are going to be doing it a lot in the near future.'

'I just want my future wife to love me back like I love her.' I scoff. 'Well then you should have chosen a different bride because I will not hide my distaste for the things you have done and continue to do. You are a despicable person and are in need of a major reality check.' I ended the call and ran my hand over my face.
