Chapter 43: Chapter 43

BRIANNA

I was feeling so heartbroken when Jaxon agreed to divorce me. He answered so instantly that it seemed he was planning to do something like this a long time ago. He must be feeling happy after getting rid of me. Why would he hesitate before divorcing me when he never felt anything for me. I was just a trophy wife for him.

I felt so pathetic that I kept sticking to him all these years without any relationship between us. We were just husband and wife in papers. He never ever touched me. We didn't even share a kiss. It was the first time he kissed my forehead. I didn't know what he was thinking when he did that. But it doesn't matter at all. I don't care about him now.

I went to a bar to celebrate my freedom. I drowned myself into the alcohol when I heard a voice beside me. “Hey, gorgeous.” I looked up at the guy only to find out it was the same guy who had been staring at me for a long time.

He slipped on the seat beside me and ordered two glasses of drinks. “Who dumped such a beautiful girl like you? I'm sure he's a blind and stupid. Only a blind can hurt a beautiful girl like you. If I were him then I would have cherished you all my life.” I looked at him bored.

“Here.” He placed one glass of drink before me.

“My treat for the most beautiful girl I have ever met in my life.” Hearing his words made me feel better so I flashed a smile at him and accepted the glass.

“Thank you for the drink.” I clinked my glass with his glass then took a sip of it.

“If you want then I can make you feel good the way I lifted your mood just now.” I was amazed by his straightforwardness.

I have been saving my V-card for Jaxon. But he never touched me. What's the use of saving it now when we are going to divorce tomorrow.

“You are quite straight.” I stared at him only to notice his dark eyes boring into mine. He was quite handsome, when my eyes landed on his lips I felt my throat go dry.

“Yes. I'm a very easy going person. I don't like to beat around the bush. I always say what I feel in my heart. When my gaze fell on you I felt a connection that's why I approached you. Since you are single and heartbroken I think I can give you some company if you agree.” His eyes darted to my lips.

“You have beautiful lips. May I know your name, Miss beautiful?” He asked me and I looked away from him. I was heartbroken and high. My brain isn't working properly. Suddenly I felt his hand on my bare thigh. I looked at him shocked.

“What are you doing?” I swatted his hand away from my thigh and placed the drink back on the table.

“I'm not that kind of girl, you are assuming me to be.” Saying that I got up from there and left the bar. I didn't feel like going back to that house anymore. And I could not leave for my parent’s house as I have to sign the divorce papers tomorrow. I leaned against my car and took a deep breath not knowing what to do or where to go.

“Are you going to stay the night here?” I snapped my head to find that same guy standing before me. I raised my brow at him.

“That's none of your business. You go wherever you want. Stop bothering me.” I was pissed that he wasn't leaving me alone even after I left the bar.

“If you want you can stay the night over my place. Don't worry I won't lay a finger on you. You can trust me.” I snapped my head at him again and glared at him.

“Do you think you will be alive if you try to force on me?” He looked surprised at first but then started laughing.

“Then you are coming over to my place?” He asked and I gave it a thought. He was a total stranger. I can stay the night in a hotel. Moreover he can't do anything to me, I can easily knock him off.

“Fine. Get in my car. You will drive. I'm drunk.” I told him and he smiled and got into the driver seat while I settled into the passenger seat. He drove my car to his place.

“You didn't tell me your name before.” He again asked my name.

“Brianna.” I responded shortly.

“I'm Emerson.” I just nodded and looked out of the window. Suddenly it started raining. Raindrops were hitting the glass window. I felt hurt when I realised Jaxon didn't even call me to know where I am in a heavy rainfall. I think he would be happy if I died.

My heart felt heavy and I wanted to cry hard but how can I cry in front of a stranger? “You can cry. I won't judge you. Think of me as your friend.” His words were enough for me to break into tears.

I cried my heart out only stopped when there were no tears left in my eyes. Emerson handed me a packet of pocket tissue. I wiped my face then he handed me my water bottle.

“Have some water and you will feel good.” He had parked my car in the side. I gulped some water and he took the bottle from my hand and closed the cap.

“Feeling good?” He asked me and I shook my head.

“It hurts here.” Clutching my heart I said.

“I loved him all my life but he never loved me back. We were married for seven years but he never touched me or cared about me. I was just a trophy wife for him. I didn't go back home tonight but he didn't even care. He didn't even call me once to know where I am in this heavy rainfall. Even a text message would be fine.” I again broke into tears. I felt his hand on my head. He was stroking my hair while I was sobbing and crying.

“I was with him for seven years but he never felt anything for me but he fell for the girl who came into our life unexpectedly nine months ago. Now he's crazy about her and searching for her everywhere. I couldn't take this anymore and asked for a divorce. He didn't waste a second and agreed. He never cares about my feelings. And agreeing for the divorce cut off my last thread of hope.”

Emerson pushed my head in his chest and I cried out holding his shirt. “He's a jerk to choose someone else over you. Stop crying over such a person who doesn't care about you at all. Don't waste your energy on him. Kick him out of your life. He isn't worthy of you. After divorce start a new life. I know it won't be easy to move on from a long time relationship but it's not impossible. I believe you can overcome this situation bravely. You are a fighter.” I pulled away from him and stared at him.

And I saw something in his eyes that I was craving to see in Jaxon’s eyes all these years. I didn't know what I was thinking when I pressed my lips over his and kissed him on the lips. Emerson was stunned at my act and I realised what I had done overwhelmed by emotions. I tried to pull back but Emerson snaked his fingers around my nape to put me in place and kissed me back.

Jaxon always made me feel unwanted but with Emerson I felt special. The way he was kissing me I melted in him. It was my first kiss. It was the first time I was so close with a male. I didn't hold back and just submitted to him. I wanted him to make me feel like a woman. And we spent a passionate night in my car. I lost my V-card to a stranger and I don't regret it at all.
