Agustin’s pov….
“Get up” she abruptly said her tone dripping with venom.
“Baby ple..” she didn’t let me finish
“I said get the fuck up” she semi shouted.
I didn’t like her tone at all but I know her anger is justified so I controlled myself and stood up. I don’t want to hamper my only chance at getting together because of my impulsive nature.
“You will do anything I say right?” A spark of hope ignited in my heart.
“Yes, baby anything you just have to ask.” I said desperately Cupping her cheeks . Even a simple touch is driving me crazy how much I have missed her touch. I will do anything for her absolutely anything.
“I want you to get out of my life for forever, don’t show me you disgusting face ever again.” her voice didn’t waver for once before saying that.
My heart shank hearing that. “Please Onika don’t do this to me. Anything but that. I am not saying you just forgive me right away but at least give me a chance to prove myself .”
She snarled in disgust “I deserve better than you. If I ever love again I assure you it will never be you.” She said with conviction in her voice.
Enough now this is getting on my nerves. She is testing my patience. How dare she even think about someone else. She can take as much time she wants to forgive me but thinking about someone else how dare she?
“May be you do but get this through your head I am not only gonna kill the fucker who as much as look at you but I am gonna ruin his whole family as well and do not forget that you are still my wife .”
She arched a brow at me and said “That will change soon I want divorce and I will not rest until I get one”.
I started laughing hard at that. “Thanks God and here I thought I have lost my old Onika but there we go your sense of humour is still in its full glory. Oh god that has to be one of the best joke I have heard in years.”
She glared at me as if I have grown two heads.”Wait a minute you are serious aren’t you? “i said in a dangerous voice.
Her lips curved into a vicious cold smile and she said with confidence” I don’t need your permission for that. It is not up to you anymore I could easily get a divorce for what you have done to me”.
Her naiveness is sometimes really irritating”Oh my sweet little princess don’t know what to call you innocent or stupid. Of course it is upto me is it not?”
I flashed my signature sinister smile” I would like to see you try, that would be fun. Let me see who have the audacity to represent you going against me in the court and I assure you dear wifey you aren’t gonna find any one because any one who tries to come between us will be six feet under before he can ever turn up in the court.”
This had her fuming in anger “You low life pig this is how sorry you are. Just a moment ago you were on your knees saying how sorry you are. Now here you are back to your old ways. Thanks for proving you haven’t changed a bit. Do you even realise the gravity of what you have done. You get to do all kinds of violence against me but I can’t even get a divorce. ” I saw a lone tear leave her eyes and her lips were quivering in anger.
Shit this isn’t going the way I imagined”It doesn’t have to be like this darling.” I whispered almost defeated.
” I am sorry for being harsh with you when all I should do is beg for your forgiveness . Believe me sweety I will do any thing except for letting you go. We can again live like a happy couple we were once please don’t make it hard for both of us. I can’t live without you. I can’t see u with someone else. The mere thought of it has my blood boiling and veins burning. I love you so much just please give me one chance I will do anything for it”she snorted at that.
“Oh no no no whom do you think you are fooling you will do anything that suits your needs not anything I say there is a difference between the two.”
Then she did the unthinkable She held me by my collar “Agustin fucking De Luca this through your thick skull that I am never going to be yours again.”
Normally I would be pissed at anyone who dares behave like that with me but seeing Onika like this is breaking my heart. She haven’t as much as raised a finger at anyone. But I know now is not the time to let my emotions get in between what I have planned. I finally accepted that she isn’t gonna have it and no amount of begging is gonna change her mind now I would have to do what I kept in reserve for the worst. I held her by her waist because I know for what is about to come she will need it.
“You will do as I say got it. There is no way I am letting you go whether you like it or not.”
She gawked at me on hearing that and she struggled in my arms and said” don’t touch me with your filth hands you monster let me go.” That made me tighten my arms even more around her.
She kept thrashing in my hold and clawing at my arms. I tried to calm her down.
“Shhh baby.” I cooed in her ears but she wasn’t having it. I tried to be patient”please baby calm down.”she wasn’t listening to me she continued her assult.
Now there is only one way left to calm her down and make her realized now there is no way out. I took in a deep breath and hardened my heart for what was to come “who is Alex” as soon as his name left my mouth her hands went limp. Her face paled.
“Wh.. who.. Al.. Alex… I don’t kn.. know.. what you are talking about.” I was standing so close to her that i can sense her heart beat sped.
“Who is the father of the child.” I just wanted to see her reaction.
There was a gleam in her eyes she gave me a half smile which didn’t reach her eyes. And what she said next made me want to kill someone then and there. “how would I know after all I am a characterless whor…”
“Don’t you fucking dare complete that sentence.” I hissed at her holding her roughly by her arms.
“Don’t you dare call yourself that. If it would have been any one else I would have ripped his tongue out” I hissed at her in a dangerous tone.
I could see fear in her eyes but she tried to hide it and said” you are in no position to demand answers from me. I am not one of your bloody staffs.”
“Oh but you are don’t forget you are now working for me.”
“We will see for how long.”
This is where I disclose her that she is in deep shit”for as long as I want you to darling.” She gave me a look which was screaming ‘have you lost your mind’
“Tomorrow first thing in the morning you will find my resignation letter on your table.”
“Fine just bring 55 thousand dollers with that letter and you are free to go or else you go behind the bars.” She looked like as if I have slapped her as she realised what I was saying.
“I.. I will pay you your money just not by working here but I give you my words I will pay it off in the given time.”
She thinks that I am doing this for Money can’t she see it’s for us so that we can be together. She was looking at me with hope filled eyes.
I pretended as if she haven’t spoken and tried to hide my best that how much her vulnerability is affecting me” I want you to chose wisely Alex is too small to live without a mother in this world full of monsters.”
As she understood my silent threat tears broke free from her eyes.”ple.. please… Agustin.. not Alex.. don’t drag him into all this he is just a small child.. I am begging you please just let me go don’t do this to me.”
It’s killing me to see her like this but I know it has to be done the sooner the better.” I am not doing this Onika you are making me do this. It doesn’t have to be like this we can be happy again you just have to say yes and leave the rest upto me.”
“I can never be happy with you can’t you see that.” Her voice cracked.
“Ok if this is what you want then I give you 24 hours to decide.”
She was sobbing badly. She slid on the floor brought her knees closer to her chest and cried. I didn’t stop her I know she needs to understand that now there is no way out. My heart was getting heavy bit by bit I didn’t wanted this to be like this. I was stupid to think that it would be easy. Though I don’t blame her I know I have fucked up big time but I am way to selfish to let her go. I can’t live without her.
I just knew I have to get out of here as soon as possible seeing her like this on the floor crying hysterically is killing me. I don’t want her to know how vulnerable I am right now. So I hardened my heart and said my parting words.
“I want you to get this through your head for once and forever ‘I will make you mine… again’ nothing in this world will change that. If you want it the hard way then it is upto you.”with that I walked out of there as fast as I can before giving her a second glance.
