Chapter 31: Chapter 31

I seemed deaf to what he said and thought it was a joke.

"You want to what?" I asked, being furious.

he approached me, but I know our maid has a huge crush on him, so I also don't know how it will happen, but I didn't stop her, and she just came down and he is in his shorts and t-shirt now.

"You're the one I love. Alessia. Please believe me. " He said, and he was about to cry.

But I don't believe him. I don't know, something inside me became soft, and it was sort of a soothing feeling. It was unexplainable.

"Me? No, you can't be serious, it's not right. " I said to him while sitting on the sofa.

I wanted to believe it, but someone in consciousness told me not to. It's not right for me. I don’t want this to happen to me either.

I just looked at him, and I know his sincerity, I felt, but is it right to risk it even if I wasn't sure? Not even ready for the result?

"No, I'll talk to Kycine. I can't lose you, Alessia. Please. " He said it almost begged

"We'd already broken up before I met you. But who cares? I want you to stay. Please," he said to me, and I didn't know what to do.

I'm sort of unsure because at first, he had tons of chances to explain his situation to me, but why couldn't he tell me?

"Why didn't you tell me? You have plenty of time to tell me everything. " I told him

He didn’t speak, and he just held my hand.

"I'm afraid you might leave me when you find everything out."

I don't know how I'm going to feel, but I know If i was him I won't do that or I'm just saying it because I'm not in that situation.

I don't know, but I don't know the answer I will give him. I know with all my heart that I will go through this and bind everything that connects me to him.

Our eyes were staring at each other, and we both knew what we wanted. Our lips met, and it was tasteful. I was really starving for his taste, and I spent too much time thinking about it.

But my conscience wouldn't let me sleep if we continued this, so I let go of him.

"We can't do this, I can't." I told him

But he insisted, and lean towards me. Then our lips touched again. I was fighting against myself, and I pushed him.

"This isn't right, and you know that." I said to him and I got up.

"If I was in Kycine's position, I would be hurt, hurt so badly. But I've been used to this kind of ache since I was a child, and I can't afford to hurt anyone just because of my happiness. "

He was silent and he was crying, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't attend to him. I had to fight this feeling. It's the right thing.

"I didn't even know what was right or wrong." He told me

"We don't deserve this kind of pain. But I'll send my regards. Thank you so much for being a good husband to me. Hopefully for Kycine as well.

I picked my bags and went out, and I was about to get out when he hugged me from behind, and he was crying as I felt his shoulders moving. But I couldn't help but sigh because of the thought that until now I couldn't resist him. As I felt his shaking shoulders

"Please don't leave me."

And those words shredded my heart into pieces, and I began to sob harder.

"Believe me, I don't want to, but this isn't right. I'm sorry Blade, I just can't. "

I let go of his hug and hurried my walk. I ignored the guard who was about to help me and waited outside. I didn't even pay attention to the house I came from. By the grace of God, a taxi stopped in front of me, and he helped me put my belongings in its compartment, and I got into the back seat.

I told him the address and I cried the whole trip. The driver also gave me a tissue, and I did nothing but cry, and he opened the window for me.

When I reached the house, I was surprised to learn that Mrs. and Mr. Armstrong were in our living room. When I got there, Mom attended to me and made me sit beside them. They were having coffee when I saw the envelope on the table.

And I was looking at them.

"You poor child!" said Emelda.

"We are deeply sorry. We will increase your shares. Just don't leave my son. " Mr. Raener begged.

I get where he's coming from. I know if I'm in that situation. My parents would not think twice about getting me out of there and using any means and ways necessary to do so.

They were having this sympathetic vibe, and I didn't like it. I looked at Dad and he breathed deeply.

"I've provided you with these papers, but that doesn't mean you're leaving Blade's secretary position." said dad.

I was dumbfounded. It was even more debilitating to know that I felt my life was being taken from me, each time i try to fight back.

But Brent's words echoed on my mind, saying I should keep things natural and just focus on work.

"Okay, I will definitely do that. For both of you, mom and dad," I said.

I knew they'd be in more pain than I was when i said those words, but nothing hurts more than how I felt.

To finish this, I took out the papers and pretended to read them first, but I knewI was having a second thought when I saw that Blade has a signature already, and that broke my heart. Everything about earlier was a lie

What else was he begging for earlier if this is how he would treat me? I signed it and entered my room.

Every day felt like hell, as if I wanted to be dead but didn't want to die; the only place I could be was in his arms.

As I called his number, my eyes provided tears. I was so tired.

"Hello, Alessia?" He said

I knew he was the one who could help me. And I'm sorry, but please

"Run away with me, Dred."
