Chapter 16???
?DORA POV?
“I hate you so very much” I kept on saying as the tears blurred my eyes
I sat back on the chair crying helplessly, What is wrong with me? I had promised myself that I wouldn’t let him see me cry, I wouldn’t let him see that I was still hurting from the past event
And now here I am crying like a darn baby, I thought as the tears kept coming
I felt him sitting beside me on the chair and when he tried to touch me,I moved away
“Don’t touch me Michael,your touch is the last thing I need right now” I said as I wiped off my tears
“One thing you never realised was that I suffered too Melanie,I suffered for what happen four years ago” He said and I gave him a stare
“You! Suffered? Don’t make me laugh Michael” I said
“The child you lost wasn’t yours alone Melanie, I suffered and blame myself each day for you losing your child,If only I hadn’t pushed you ,If only I stayed a little while longer, I would have known that something was wrong and I would have helped, each night I get tormented by those thoughts and I also realised that if I had never set my eyes on Grace,I would have fallen for you and we might have been living happily now”
“For the past four years,I only thought of you, I blamed myself each time because I ruined your life, when the pain was too much,I got someone searching for you and that was three years ago Dora”
“I knew where you were,What you were doing,I knew everything but I never had the courage to go to you,So I watched over you from afar” He said
This revelation of his surprised me,I had thought that they only searched for me recently and that they had called me home,lying with granny death,Michael had also made me think so too
I would never have thought that he would have searched for me ahead or that he had been watching over me
“How did you watched over me from afar?” I asked
“Its not worth telling now, It’s all in the past” He said
“I want to know Michael, tell me ” I implored him
“Fine, The scholarship you received at school,I made everything happened,Seeing you work tirelessly each day made me feel more guilty and you wouldn’t call home for help, So I came up with the scholarship idea”
“So you were the one that payed for my college fee till I graduated” I asked feeling so shocked
“Up to the last year, when you finished school,I tried helping you with getting a job but you had found one yourself,I searched about the company you work for and made sure they were clients coming your way”
I can believe that because at a time, we had a lot of customers that I hardly had time to rest.
He knelt in front of me and starred at me
“I was always looking out for Dora, I never had the courage to come to you myself,To face you,I knew you needed time to heal,To forget everything and live your life once again”
“When you started going out with Liam,I thought youve moved on and yes I felt so jealous, So very jealous, There is saying that says that ‘ you don’t know what you have until you lose it’ That was what happened to me”
“I let you leave,Made myself believe that I love your sister and I chose her over you, Something I regret so much” He said
Never have Michael poured out his heart to someone,even when we were friends four years ago
He had always kept things hidden from me,Had always kept things to himself.
Seeing him this way for the first time really shocked me
“And have been a selfish ba$tard towards you Dora,I made them lie to you,I threatened you with your father and I forced you into a marriage you don’t want”
“I regret everything but not the marriage part, I got married to you because I don’t want to lose you for a second time And yes have been an arrogant bastard, I never apologised to you,So now am on my knees imploring you to forgive me ”
“Forgive me Dora” He said holding my hand
I felt so confused,If I forgive him It would mean that we could be friends and he would want to use that opportunity to get close to me and that is what am afraid of
I don’t want to be close to him,I don’t want to have those feelings I had for him before,I don’t want to love him again
And If I certainly don’t want all those things,I have to keep him away or I might end up falling again for him
Have been hurt once,I won’t be able to tolerate it if I was hurt again by him.
I stood up and went to stand by the window
“To forgive you would be giving you a chance to my life once again and that is something I don’t want, Let’s just end this Michael,We get a divorce and go our separate ways” I said
“No Dora,I won’t let that happen,I won’t let you go back to Liam,Never” he said
For the past hour now,Have not really thought of Liam,I don’t even feel hurt about him anymore
“Its the best thing for……”
“Don’t you say its the best for us,I know what is best for me and that is having you in my life and If I have to use the rest of my proving that to you, Then I will” He said with fierce determination
“Michael t……”
“You must be tired,Go upstairs and rest” He said turning away
Just then the doorbell rang,He went to it and I heard the surprise in his voice when he called out the name of the person
“Mom,what on earth are you doing here?” He asked
“To see you and I brought with me Lucy,She has been wanting to see you” His mom said
“You should have called me mom and you shouldn’t have brought Lucy,I know the real reason why she came with you and am asking you to stop right now”
“Am now married” I heard him say
“Your what? To who? When did this happen?” She asked
“Come In,She is inside” He said opening the door and two women walked in
I had only met Michael mother once And that had been four years ago
I wonder if she would still remember me
“Is she your wife” His mom asked while Lucy starred at me
Michael came over to me and pulled me to him
“Yes she is” He Answered
I saw her stare at me in horror
“Isn’t she Dora, the same Dora that Ruined your marriage with her sister?” His mom said
“I can’t believe this! This family has brought nothing but trouble for us,Don’t you remember the humiliation we faced the day her sister left you on the altar,How foolish can you be?” She said angrily
“I am foolish. Because I love this lady here,Whatever has happen in the past let it stay there mom,Now please leave,My wife and I have our wedding night to complete” He said
“You married her today! And you never bothered to tell me or your dad” She asked
“Am a grown up now,I do what I want with my life, I chose Dora to be my bride and that is final,Leave mom,I won’t show you out cause as have said my wife and I need to complete our wedding night, You know where the door is ” He said turning to me and before I knew what he was about to do it was too late to stop him
He carried me in his arms and went up the stairs
Was he really going to sleep with me? I thought as he walked me into a room
“Relax,I won’t be having our wedding night tonight, Our wedding night will happen once you’ve fully trust me and your ready to give your heart to me again” He said as he set me on my feet still holding unto me
“That won’t happen Michael, What just happen with your mother just prove that we can’t be,So let’s end this while we can” I said and moved away from him.
“We are not ending anything and our wedding night will surely come because you will learn to trust and love me, I will make sure I succeed in that” He said pulling me again
“There is just no reasoning with you Michael, Just leave” I said as I tried to pull away
“I will but first tell me this,Have you slept with Liam yet”
“What sort of question is that?” I said
“Just wanted to confirm something?” He said
“Its none of your business, So don’t ask me” I said
I didn’t want him to know that apart from him they have been no one else who have seen me naked
If he knows that, He will see it as some sort of chance and he would want to use it as a chance to get close to me.
“He hasn’t touched you then,Liam has been the only man in your life and if you haven’t slept with him,It only means that have been the only one right?”
“I told you its none of your business, I said moving away and he smiled
” Am Glad that have been the only one Dora, I will make this marriage work,It is a promise that I make to you” He said
“You real ……….” I couldn’t finish my word be cause he Kssed me lightly on the lips
“I love you” He said and walked out of the room.
