CAN YOU MEND MY HEART : CHAPTER 11 – 20
By Melody.
CHAPTER 17
Liam stopped in his track. He felt completely void.
He forgot to breath at that point. He even lost a sense of reasoning the moment he heard her.
‘What did she say.’
Did he actually hear her perfectly or was his ears playing tricks on him’
He wasn’t sure.
He turned towards her direction and their eyes met again. This time, it felt like an arrow was svcking both their pupils out.
” You said you want a divorce?” He asked and she slowly nodded.
May could only hear the faint beat of heart. She could hear her saliva go down her soft li-ned throat.
Liam began to laugh, scratching the side of his hair, with his other hand still in his pocket.
” I…i…don’t get it. Is this a joke or what?” He asked and may fell her eyes, staring at her thumbs nervously.
“I want to leave. I don’t want to stay here any longer. I want a divorce.” She said boldly, dashing out her previous fear to the winds.
Liam eyes shot wide open. He couldn’t believe what she was saying and for the first time in his life, he felt weird…
He felt scared and it was very weird.
Ms Lily, like as she had been hiding somewhere while watching the duo, finally stepped out.
” May!. What are you saying” She yelled and Liam raised his hands asking for silence from her.
May turned her head to look at Ms Lily and at that point, she knew heaven was her only goal.
She was receiving hard…bIoo.dsvcking glares from two individuals and that enough could raise her bI.ood pressure.
Liam grinned eviIy and stepped towards her. His fingers delicately took up her short strands of hair.
May raised up her chin and stared at his eyes, her bvtt was glued to the sofa and she couldn’t move an inch.
” Finally. You’ve said what I yearned for, for so long to hear.” He said and May gulped again.
She turned to look at Ms Lily and Ms Lily shaked her heads pathetically.
” What Should I say?. Goodluck?. Cause I never wanted you to stay here with me. I’m tired, may. I’m tired of you as well.” He said and pulled up her hands.
” Come here with me.” He snapped and began to drive her along with him.
May was staggering..Stumbling and sobbing loudly as he dragged her.
” Leave me alone!. Let me be!. Ms Lily please stop him!” She yelled but Liam’s grip on her tightened enough to cause red lines on her wrist.
He threw her into her room and he immediately walked towards her big brown closet.
” You wanna go right?. Go! Go!” He yelled, throwing her clothes on her face.
She sobbed heartedly, palming her face as the clothes hanged on every sector of her body.
” This is what we want so i won’t waste time packing your things!” He yelled, dragging out her luggage bag.
He busied himself, arranging her clothes into her luggage. Some part of him wanted her to stay, another part of him chose to be heartless.
Soon, Ms Lily walked in to the room. She went straight up to May and held her hand.
” May. You can’t do this. You can’t leave. You are only making matters worse!” Ms lily said and May began to cry in confusion.
” But can’t you see he wants me to leave. I have to. I can’t stay here and watch him treat me this way”
” Where exactly are you running to, May?. You have no parent. Your husband home is your priority.” She said.
” I just want to leave and go anywhere. Anywhere possible.” She said and Liam turned his head, glaring at her.
He stood up, walking towards her like a deviI monitoring his prey.
He knew fully well that she would leave here this instant and go meet that stranger that dropped her off.
He knew she had a male friend and that could have influenced her to choose a divorce.
He didn’t want anything to come inbetween them even tho he had no feelings for her.
He dropped the cloth to the ground and now he was standing next to her, making her shrink like a nursery plant.
His face was still as cold as his ice and the environment got tensed a little.
The next word left May’s jaw in a drop.
” Go to bed, Quickly!!” Was all he told her before stepping out of her room like a drained mo.nster.
May watched him leave her room wondering if that was all he wanted to do. She couldn’t understand him anymore.
Ms lily finally turned to her and she took her cheeks and kssed her head gently.
” You see, things are getting solved smoothly instead.” She said and May fell her head sadly.
She believed that Liam was only making her stay so that the to.rturing could continue.
” Now dear…dear… Be a good wife and Go to bed as he had said before he changes his mind.” She said and May sighed loudly.
” The whole place is still messsd up.” May said staring at her belongings that had been designed everywhere on the floor.
” Don’t worry. I’ll help you with it.” Ms lily said and May quickly crawled up the bed.
She tucked herself into her bedsheet and Ms lily rearranged her closet before stepping out of the room.
CAN YOU MEND MY HEART : CHAPTER 11 – 20
Meabwhile, In Liam’s Bedroom.
He got to his room instantly and he threw his door close.
He sat down for a while to think. He tried to put his head together cuz nothing in him was alright.
The way he felt after she mentioned of divorce hit him hard and he almost shrinked like a plant.
He sighed loudly and ran his long fingers into his hair.
All the drama he had been displaying in her room, yelling at her and throwing her dresses on her face was all a fake drama scene.
Deep inside, He never wanted her to leave. Perhaps, because he would miss to.rturing her and making her sob.
He began to take off his shirt and his perfect masculinity came out visible.
He had a hot shower in his vast bathroom and dressed into his usual nightwear.
He was still buttoning up his shirt when he found himself walking towards May’s room.
He peeked in and found She was laying on the bed like a cute little kitten, forgetting about the worries of two minute ago.
And here he was, still throbbing his head loudly about it.
He walked to her bedside and sat on her bed and looked at her calm face for a while.
He saw a red mark on her cheeks.
He remembered sI.apping her hardly today, he didn’t know how that action happened but he knew he wasn’t in his right mind.
He also could remember feeling sad after giving her that sI.ap.
He raised his hands and halted them in the mid air. His mindset was telling him to do things he didn’t want to do.
He sighed and touched her body. He sat up to face her and his hands began to grow under her duvet, carresing her delicate skin with affection.
Soon, May quickly opened back her eyes like a lighted torch and when she discovered Liam next to her, she sprang up quickly.
” W..What are you doing here?” She asked as her heart began to jump out of her chest.
She knew he had come to make her life more miserable again. Perhaps, he had come with more to.rturing techniques.
” Is that suppose to be a question?” His voice grew cold again as he stared at her.
She looked down shyly,
” I’m sorry.” She said and he looked away, curling his mouth to a side.
” I shouldn’t be here.” He said and may suddenly looked up at him. It seems her instict were wrong.
He didn’t come to hurt her at all.
She sprang up to sit next to him. She adjusted close to him, making their shoulders brush.
” You can stay if you want. The room belongs to us ” She smiled and Liam stared at her disgustingly.
He was feeling the conversation was getting weird and he was trying not to act cold again towards her.
” Go to bed. I only came here to see if the slap really affected your cheeks. And yes.. it did.” He said nonchalantly.
” I deserved that sI.ap anyways. I shouldn’t have brought out that topic of divorce. ” She said and Liam raised his brow.
He was the one who should be apologising of sI.apping her that way and she was here…
Perhaps, she hadn’t see what mark the sIap had rendered her innocent cheeks.
He didn’t like to see the scars there at all. That was one reason he was here, to know how to get the scar off her face.
At that point in time, He didn’t even know what was going on with his body system any longer.
The more he was feeling a sort of guilt towards her, the more he felt himself getting attached.
May sighed just to swallow the h®rrible silence
” Can you read me a story while Iy fall asleep?” She quickly asked and Liam’s jaw drop.
Spending too much time with her had started to give her the nerves of asking him for random offer.
And Liam didn’t like it one bit. He wanted her to fear him…Instead.
She placed a book on his lap and looked at his entirely confused face.
” You want me to read you a book?.” He said and May shaked her heads like a willingly kid
He lazily opened a chapter of the book and he found something under him.
He raised the book up and May was resting her head on his lap, giggling cheekily.
” Read to me. I wanna fall asleep.” She said and Liam’s jaw drop again.
Minutes ago, he was roaring like a lion for her to leave his precious home, the next minute, she was here acting like an adorable wife pretending nothing had happened.
” Mn. I should read you a novel right?” He asked and decided to play along.
He cleared his throat and began to flip the pages of the book.
” Emma and Sade had been married for years but on this faithful night.. ”
” Hey!” She laughed, sitting up. ” Read it like a storyteller.” She gestured.
” And do i look like one to you?” He started to get upset again.
She curled her lips and pinched his cheeks.
” Fine. I’ll read it to you rather.” She said and picked the book from him.
Liam couldn’t understand how he still managed to stay remain in her room and have the close relationship with her.
At that point, he couldn’t think of any other perfect time in his life than this precious moment.
Wait…Did he say precious moments??.
” Okay. Listen carefully. It has a deep moral lesson.” She said and cleared her throat.
” Sade loved his wife and took her like his precious possession. But his wife didn’t. One day, Sade left…”
” Why did Sage leave?” Liam said palming his cheeks lazily.
May blinked, staring at the book.
” Um..B..because his wife treated him unfairly.” She said and Liam lip outturned in disapproval.
” So..When Sade left, he fell in love with a better woman whom he rendered all his affectionate love to…”
” What then happened to the other wife?” Liam cut her off again.
” It said here in the book that she went to marry someone else with amnesia and her life became miserable afterwards. The end.”
She closed up the book and Liam was rendered totally speechless.
” Was that the end?.” He asked and May sighed.
” T..that…That wasn’t part of the story at all.” She said sadly and moved closer to him. Liam raised his brow staring at her.
She held his palm, joining her tiny fingers with him.
” Liam. I know deep down you still do love me and care for me. Whatever thing I’ve done to you to cause you this heartless, I am deeply sorry.. so sorry. I’m ready to do anything to get our love back.
I want you to remember those good moments we used to have together and then, return back as this perfect couple which everyone envies…”
” May.” He cut her off and she shut her lips, gulping down in.
” May. What the hell are you talking about?” He asked, his eyes turning glassy.
” I’m talking about me…Your wife. The girl you call your precious stones. May. The girl you married, It’s me.” She said smiling while tearing up as well.
” No…” He began to stand on his feet.
May quickly stood along with him. She quickly hugged him tight.
” Please don’t go. Please stay here with me and try to understand me.” She said, wetting his shirt.
Liam looked into thin air as his hands slowly peeled himself away from her grip.
” Go to bed.” He told her and she shaked her heads, sobbing loudly.
” I won’t go to bed until i know you can tell me you love me.” She said.
” Go to bed, May. Don’t make me change my mind.” He said and she sniffed in her watery nose.
” You are so unfair!. You are like Sade wife!” She yelled and ran to tuck herself in bed, covering her face with the pillow.
Her loud murmur and crying filled the entire room.
Liam stared at her for a while before stumping out of her room. He closed her door behind without giving a second thinking.
