Chapter 84: Chapter 84
"We can explain everything! Just listen to us one time…" Mrs.Brooks pleaded.
"Alright! Tell me the truth! I want to know the entire truth!" Angela's face blackened while she said with a cold tone glaring at them.
"Y...Yes! Yes!" Mrs.Brooks nodded in hurry and wiped her tears to tell her everything.
She started to tell Angela the whole story of how Erish fell in love with some other woman who works under him and asked his father to break the engagement between her and him. But Mr.Brooks refused him and forced him to marry her.
Out of anger, one day before the marriage evening, Erish and his dad argued. Erish left the home in anger and got into a big accident.
Angela listened to everything with a blow.
"The doctor informs us Erish went into a coma and we had no choice but to call Eric home back and ask him for marriage." Mrs.Brooks meets her eyes with guilt.
Angela's breath turned heavy while something sharply felt against her chest at this moment. She clenched her dress around her chest with one hand. Feeling suffocating at this moment.
"If the accident news leaked, Erish's life could be in danger and also the company."
"As Erish got many rivals in the business world who were always ready to make him buried for their greedy dream. So, this is the last choice we had left. To hide him! and his condition from everyone! We also need to explain to Eric, because he was not ready for this disloyal marriage from the beginning but we begged him almost that he finally got ready." Mrs.Brooks looked at Angela with tears and added, "I know! I know! This is too much to hear in one go! But we truly wanted good for you all…I.."
"Stop!"
Before Mrs.Brooks completes her sentence. Angela raised her hand to signal her to stop with a weak trembling hand as she just tripped and fell on her knees the next moment. Her hands touched the floor to give her balance. She never felt like this before.
Her bloodshot red eyes again started tearing and this time everyone could hear her long and loud cry. Her sobbing looked too hurtful.
She never thought the one she loved for a childhood also betrayed her. He never wanted to marry her or love her. This is all her illusion alone. Her heart broke apart to hear all this. Everything shattered until her heart finally started bleeding at this moment.
The last string which holds her strength is finally gone at this moment.
"Angela…" Mrs.Brooks immediately rushed to help her. She bent beside her and touched her shoulder with concern.
Mr.Brook could only let his wife take care of Angela while he could only stand like a guilty person around. They knew it was going to be heartbroken for Angela but still chose to do something big without her constant.
Angela is still looking at the floor while tears stream down nonstop! Her whole body trembled and felt helpless.
"Angela! I know! We owe you! We are culprits in your eyes! But trust us! The only solution we got is to hide the truth. We don't want to hurt you listening to Erish's love for another woman! And after he fell into a coma, we thought Eric was the right choice for you!"
Angela silently heard her like a lifeless person.
"Angela, I know you are thinking we did wrong but Eric is the right choice for you. He is always in love with you and we thought we needed to give this new relationship a chance! Because even if Erish comes back he will not be with you! And we thought you would fall for him with time…But now we can see...we are wrong! We need to tell you the truth from the beginning! That was your right!"
Mrs. Brooks never thought that one-day things would get worse.
Angela silently heard her and finally raised her head to ask Mrs.Brooks with a broken voice about Erish.
"Where is Erish?" She felt too heavy even saying his name.
Hearing her Mrs.Brooks looked at her husband who nodded her back.

Angela saw the lying fragile figure on the bed between many machines all around him.
Her tears roll down and she moved beside him
Mr. and Mrs. Brooke leaves her alone and comes out of the room.
She doesn't know how to react to seeing him like this. Did she feel hurt? Yes. She felt broken at this moment. The truth blows her world. If she knew from the beginning he didn't love her anymore. She never tried to be with him. But why do things turn out to be this cruel?
After half an hour later, finally Angela came out of Erish's room.
She's not crying anymore and her tears soaked on her cheeks and left their print.
Mr.and Mrs.Brooks saw her and tried to go in front of her.
"Angela...we…"
"Mrs.Brooks please don't try to cover up your deeds anymore!" Angela immediately argued in a heavy voice.
"There are many ways to solve the accident issue. You can inform my parents and me but still, you choose to hide the truth and do the wrong thing with me! If your one son doesn't want me, you give me to another one who is silently in love with me! Didn't it?"
Hearing her words Mrs.Brooks felt guilty silence.
"You both only think about your sons but not for me! Because if you truly care about me you will tell me the truth in the first place!"
Mr.Brooks clenched his hands feeling sinful.
"Angela dear, please forgive us! This is all my doing! I was the main one who made you hurt!" Mr.brooks mumbled with tears coming in front of her.
Angela looked at both and felt bitterness and responded back in anger.
"Yes, you should be guilty! Mr.Brooks! Because you made my life decision without my permission! What do I need and what was my choice? If I wanted to marry Eric or not, that all needs to be my and only my choice!"
"To whom I can fall in love or spend life, it all needs to be my choice from the beginning!"
"You can't do that! By yourself!" Her eyes turned sharp.
Mr.Brooks felt shaken and trembled in his place.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Dear! I truly don't want to see you, broken heart, because of my son!" Mr.Brook tried to explain.
"But still I'm broken today! Can't you see that! You hurt me more than your son! Because you both are my second parents! I loved you both and adored you from my childhood but you both betrayed me because of your son's love!"
"No it's not like that...we also think about you Angela… please don't be too harsh…you are just like our daughter. We can't even think about making you upset!"
"But I'm upset now...I'm broken. Just looked at me!" She felt suddenly weak to even speak.
Even though they did think that she will fall for Eric with a period, how could they think she will fall for a disloyal person? Who's identity even is not true? Who's said so many lies from the start?
"Angela, please give us one more chance! We will solve everything…"
Mrs.Brooks tried to speak but Angela interrupted her in middle words.
"But I don't want to trust you anymore! I don't want to see you and your son anymore! Now let's not talk anymore!"
"Sweety…"
"No! Don't talk to me! I don't want to be harsh on you!"
She looked at them with the last stare before leaving the place silently.
Mr.and Mrs.Brooks felt speechless as they knew Angela was not going to stop anymore
