My Billionaire Lover: A second Chance in love

LUNA'S POV: I am at a hotel here in Manila for a meal with a Chinese partner after our 2 long hour discussion about our newest shipping company project. We were all happy talking about how life is and they happily shared their family experiences teasing me to invite them to my wedding when they saw the ring on my finger. It was a very happy day for everyone when suddenly I read something from the newspaper that was on the table. I was not sure I first if my eyes were just playing with me so I took the paper and read it. AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY AUSTIN SOLACE AND ASHLEY CROMWELL, DATING FOR TWO YEARS AND HAPPY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND EXPECTING A BABY Those words keep on repeating and playing in my mind like a recorded sound. I didn't even believe it at first and I thought it was just like other issues that were made by the media to destroy his career so I read the whole article but every word that was written on that piece of paper broke my heart and made me want to crumple and tear that paper at the moment but I stopped myself from doing it. I just don't want to stay there for a little longer anymore so I find a way to excuse myself and tried holding the tears back that were about to flow from my eyes. "Uhmm..Please excuse me, everyone, I have an emergency to attend to today. Enjoy your meal everyone." I stood up from my seat, walked out the door like I was not hearing anything from the voices of people inside trying to talk to me, and asked what was wrong but I just continued to walk out of the room. As fast as I could I rode the elevator and waited for it to go down the basement and when the doors opened I quickly got out and flung my car door open, entered and I found my phone and searched the internet as fast as I could. Seeing all those articles and watching the interview with them so happy while the girl clung to his arms and showed the ring on her finger which was the same as mine broke me into pieces. Tears flowed from my eyes and I tried to call him to ask him about what I saw and heard but he was out of reach. "Please! Just answer the call just this once. AUSTIN PLEASE!!PLEASE!!!" I dialed his number again and again but nothing happened so while my heart was breaking, I started my car and drove to his apartment but when I reached the building it was surrounded by media and so I went to our house wishing that he was there waiting for me for him to explain everything but my wishes were washed away when he was not there. I then went directly to our bedroom, fell on my bed with my body curled up, crying my eyes out due to the pain I felt from what I just saw on the internet. It broke me, It broke me wholly that now I can't understand what I need to feel about it. One thing is for real, I feel so suffocated right now and I slowly feel my heart's wound go deeper. I tried calling him again and again, sending thousands of messages to ask for an explanation but he never answered and did not even see my messages. I don't know where to put all these feelings now. After 50 minutes of trying to call him, I was just so tired so I stopped then stood up and went down to the living room and wanted to go out but then the door suddenly opened and there he was standing silently looking at me. He held flowers on the right and a box of chocolates on the left, maybe he was here to explain and I wanted to ask him but no word came into my mouth. He came near me after putting the flowers and chocolate down near a table beside him. He tried to hug me but I pushed him away and with a broken voice I said, “Explain!” “I’m sorry.” He said with a head bowed down not even looking at me. At that moment, I understood that it was all real and I broke down, tears flowed from my eyes like falls. “I’M SORRY. THAT WAS IT AUSTIN? IS THAT IT!!!?” I angrily asked but he didn’t answer back so with a painful voice I asked again. “So it’s true then? Did you cheat on her for two years? Is it?” But I never got the reply again and now I know the answer. “2 YEARS!2 f*****g YEARS AUSTIN!!THAT LONG AND YOU NEVER HAD THE GUTS TO TELL ME?” I start to pound his chest as hard as I can as tears flow down from my eyes. This reality stroked me surprisingly and it hurt. “WHY? PLEASE TELL ME WHY. AUSTIN PLEASE!!!” “I’m sorry Luna, I’m sorry but I love you that much I can’t let you go. Please, I just can’t.” He said with a cracking voice and hugged me but I forcefully let go. My heart was damaged enough but hearing him that made it worse. “Love? Austin do you hear yourself? Love isn’t like this. Austin, Why, we’re married but how could you do this? Four years, Four years of memories and promises, was it nothing that you just threw it away like a piece of garbage?” “I didn’t Hon. I still kept it close into my heart. I…” “Then why!? Why did you do it? Why? Please just tell me why.” I was begging at that time for him to give me a reason that could maybe ease the pain I was feeling but the words he said next just completely shattered me. “Hon...That is not true. Yes…yes we had a relationship two years ago but I broke up with her a long time ago. Please believe me…Please…She was just there when I was longing for you when you were busy…Please she means nothing to me.” He said crying with his knees on the floor while holding my hand and trying to look me in the eye. “HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT IT WAS ALL NOTHING.AUSTIN! SHE IS PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD!!! SHE IS f*****g PREGNANT DAMN IT!!!” I said very furiously said. This is making me lose more and more patience and I just want to go and never come back. He then continued to explain and said, “No…Please…This is all a stunt…please…To make the movie more popular..Please believe me…Hon Please…” He was crying so hard at that time and so was I but this, this was the final strike for me to give up this marriage. So then I asked him, “Austin, so that was it? Was that all the reason? Austin, I was there from when you started your career and never left you wishing that one day after the day we got married you would love me like how you loved Ashley but it will never be me. I even let my dream go first for you to achieve yours first. Now that I just started to reach mine, you say that it was the reason you cheated. HOW COULD YOU BE SO SELFISH?AH” I pushed him at the moment and he flopped down on the floor. I am now wishing that I should have not asked him for the reason. I wish that this was not so real. “We’re married Austin! f*****g married. We had vows and we had dreams and plans together…but how could you just leave me out and go your way? Was I never there Austin? Will I always be the only one who would keep clinging to the hope that one day I would have a position in your heart?” We were never in a good marriage since the start but I tried mending all those holes but it seems to be not enough. It will never be enough. It was a broken marriage from the start and all the things I did were all for nothing. This may be the final chapter of this love story.
