Chapter 44: Chapter 44

"Well then listen. I didn’t want to marry you either but my grandma wanted me to. I didn't have any problem with the contract either as I understood you were also in the same situation as me. But after I married you everything slowly changed. Your family became my own and you too. I had no one to call mine from my childhood. I had no friends because my grandma was afraid people would hurt me and didn’t let me go out much. I had only my grandpa and grandma. When grandpa died, I still had my grandma. Then you came into my life and living with you made me fall in love with you. I fell in love with your gentleness, your kindness, your beautiful face, your smile and everything. I thought maybe you at least liked me. So I decided to plan a surprise for you and confess to you. But what had I got? A divorce paper! I didn’t know you would still hold into that contract but you weren’t wrong so I couldn’t blame you. You were clear about your feelings from the beginning. So decided it was better to set you free. I cried the whole night and then woke up in the morning like nothing happened. After signing the divorce papers I went to the Elora. But when I got there I found out my grandma was in the hospital in a bad condition. She was fine when I left her two days ago but then she was in the ICU. She died in front of my eyes before I could even say goodbye to her. She didn’t let me say a goodbye. I had no one Liam no one. You weren’t there. No one was there. I stayed in that house for a whole month. I didn’t come out for a whole month. I was desperately looking for a hope to hold on and when I thought I had gotten one, God proved me wrong. I wasn’t pregnant! God didn’t give me a child. He didn’t. He crushed all my hopes at once!" Celeste started sobbing hysterically remembering all those pain and sufferings. Liam quickly pulled her in his arms and started kissing her head to calm her down.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I know it was all my fault. I wasn’t there for you. I'm sorry baby. Please forgive me. Please baby. I'm really sorry!" Liam kept whispering while trying to calm her down. His heart broke into million pieces watching her sobbing hysterically and helplessly. She had already gone through so much. He wished he could turn back time and change everything.

"I don't blame you. I never did. It wasn’t your fault at all. None of us is at fault. It was just my fate." Celeste said in between her sobs. Liam couldn’t help but pull her closer to him and kiss her head more.

"I called at least 20 times in the first month but you never answered. I thought you didn’t want to keep any contact with me. I didn’t tell my family about our divorce but when I couldn’t take it I informed them everything and asked if they had any contract with you. My Parents were very angry with me that they didn’t talk to me for almost a month. I tried to busy myself with work to forget about you but I couldn’t. I was missing you everyday. Rafael tried to contact you but all in vain. We thought you didn’t want to have anything with us anymore. After almost six months I couldn’t take it anymore and came back to Canada. I then sent Rafael in my place instead and tried to look for you. When I went back to Elora to look for you I found about grandma's death and also you had sold the house four months ago and left. I tried to reach Diana but she didn’t know anything about you. I then gave up and thought maybe you were better without me. But I was going crazy everyday. Then three months before we met again I happened to go to Ontario and saw you at your office coincidentally. I saw Shawn picking you up and you kissing his cheek. I thought he was your boyfriend and got really angry. I wanted to talk to you but you left already." Liam took a break in between his talk making Celeste move away from his chest and look at him in pure disbelief. She couldn’t believe her ears.

He was back 8 months ago and saw her 6 months ago instead of 4?

"What do you mean? I thought it was all coincidence!" Celeste exclaimed in shock. Liam smiled and shook his head.

"No. I found out the company was going bankrupt so I decided to buy it and make you my employee and also I wanted to confirm your relationship with Shawn. After a few days I found out he was your ex boyfriend Shawn Anderson. But I was glad to know you guys didn’t have any relationship except friendship but Shawn still had feelings for you though. The day I took over the Company I asked Your manager to hand the paperworks to you and send you to my office." Liam finished his sentences with a cunning smile making Celeste look at him in pure horror.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! You have been fooling me all along! Here I thought everything was coincidence." Celeste exclaimed while holding her head.

"I have something for you." Liam whispered softly while holding Celeste's hands.

"What is it this time?" Celeste asked with a sigh. She didn’t know what else this guy had in his bag for her.

"This." Liam said while pulling out two bracelets from his pocket. Celeste instantly recognised them as the customized couple bracelet she had made for them.

"This! Where did you find them?" Celeste asked as Liam gently put one on her wrist.

"On your cupboard." Liam said and placed a kiss on her wrist before pulling her in his arms again.

"Forgive me, please. Give me a chance to make everything right for us. Give our baby a chance. I promise you won't regret this time. I let any hurt come near any of you. I will protect both of you. Please Celeste, give me a chance." He said gently while kissing Celeste's hair and rubbing her wrist which had the bracelet on. He waited for a while for her answer. He could feel his heart beating so wildly while waiting for her reply but she was silent.

She didn’t forgive him. He sighed!

"I have never blamed you nor have stopped loving you Liam Rodriguez." Celeste whispered softly while entwining their hands. Liam instantly turned her around and looked at her eyes for confirmation. Her face held a beautiful smile while her eyes were twinkling in joy making his heart skip a beat.

"I love you." He whispered softly before placing his lips on hers sealing their fate again with another simple kiss.
