“Look, I can e-” she held her hand up in the air and walked up to him then took his hand in hers, walked him to the bed, and pulled him down by the shoulder so he could sit down while she sat beside him.
Now, he was a bit confused and scared at the same time.
If she said she knew about him and Daniella, why then is she taking it so cool like she didn’t become aware of something that huge which she was supposed to hear from her husband and not from another source.
“Loveth,”
“I need you to listen to me Miguel” she talks over him then lay her head on his shoulder before letting out a sigh.
He didn’t know what to say at this moment but wait for whatever she had to say to him, then hoped that he would try to explain things to her so she knows he was actually going to tell her but didn’t see the opportunity to do so.
“I am so hurt” she began and he could already feel it too.
She wouldn’t be hurt if he had a man up and told her when he shared most of his past with her. Now he blames himself for her being hurt. This would have been avoided if only he told her something.
“Loveth, let me explain,” he said pulling her away from leaning on his shoulder.
When his eyes met with hers, confusion was written all over and he was about to continue when she spoke up.
“What do you want to say about it? There is nothing for you to explain here, I just want you to listen to me so I can get this off my chest because I don’t know what I will do to her when I set my eyes on her due to how angry I am by what she did”
‘She’s angry for my sake?’ he asked himself as he was now confused by what she was saying.
What did she mean by he didn’t need to explain anything? She hadn’t even listened to his side of the story yet and she had already come to a conclusion about it all.
She took it quite well and he wasn’t expecting this reaction from her if she gets to know from an outside source but looking at how she isn’t shooting glares at him and just want to talk calmly with him, she definitely took it well.
He wasn’t in the wrong, to begin with, Daniella was the one that messed things up for him and he so wished she heard it from him first and not from her or whoever that told her about the situation.
“I still ne-” she interrupted him by placing her index finger on his lips to shush him up.
“Please, I need you to listen to me first,” she said and he looked at her with furrowed brows and just nod so that he can hear what she has to say about what she knows.
She placed her head back on his shoulder and his arms went around her shoulders and brought her closer.
“It’s as if you know what is wrong with me and just came in at the right time,” she said and he closed his eyes then let out a shaky breath.
He doesn’t know if he should just say it out or wait for her to say what she has to say to him… he doesn’t want her to make a decision to leave because if she does, he isn’t sure if he would be able to take it all.
He has found her and he isn’t ready to let go of her or have her leave him because he chose not to say anything to her.
She deserves to know about it but he wants to respect her words and wait for her to say what she has to say.
“I still can’t believe she could do such a thing to me… she knew what she did and had the guts to come to me through an event I hosted in L. A, such a heartless lady if you will ask me,” she said with frustration and sighed.
“What did she do?” he dared to ask.
She held out the envelope she was holding minutes ago to him so he could check what was inside.
“Open it, it has all the answers to the question from the beginning, what started this in the first place.” She threw her hands up in the air and stood up from the bed to pace in front of him.
He looked at her with worry in his eyes and proceed to open the envelope but couldn’t miss the way his heart rammed against his ribcage because of what might be in the envelope.
He brought out the paper and his eyes went through it from the top to bottom, his brows formed a furrow as he looked at it again then his heart skipped not because it contained what he wanted to tell her first but something really crucial about her company.
What he saw made him see red and he raised his head to look at her with a deep frown on his face.
“She mastermind all these?” he asked with anger and she stopped pacing then stood in front of him.
“Oh, you are surprised too? I really don’t know what I will do to her when I set my eyes on her… like argh!” she grunted and continued pacing in front of him.
‘What did I see in that lady at first?’ he asked himself after knowing this new revelation.
He didn’t know she was this crazy when he first met her not until she pulled that stunt years ago and now almost putting Audriana and her dad’s company at stake and not just that almost making many employees lose their jobs.
“This is crazy”
“I know but I am just wondering how dad would feel when he learns of this” she came to sit beside him and looked into his eyes sadly.
His heart ached because of how sad and heartbroken she looked. He needed to tell her about him and Daniella but now isn’t the time for that, she needs him to support her with this newfound revelation and he promised himself to give her as much support and helping hands she would require to take legal actions against her.
“I can see why you warned me against hanging out with her… she must have done something similar to you and your family that was why you guys were tensed when you saw her at that party” she bowed her head as a tear slipped out of her eyes.
“Loveth” he began then put his finger under her chin and raised her head so that she was looking at him.
He cupped her face in his palms then wiped the fresh tears that fell from her eyes before leaning in to peck her lips, eyes, forehead then leaned back to look at her.
“She causes chaos wherever she dwells and I didn’t want you to be her victim that was one of the reasons why I didn’t want her near you… I am sorry, I would have told you earlier” he told her.
“No, I am sorry for not listening to you… even though you were really stubborn and proved childish with how you warned me against her, I would have listened to you” she sniffed and placed her hands on his hand that held her face.
“There is still more you need to know about her,” he said after letting out a deep breath.
It is now or never… he will just tell her and get it over with once and for all.
She shook her head no and leaned away from his hold then cleaned her cheeks with her palms.
“I think I have heard enough of her for a day… I am just hurt that she would do something like that and come to me as a friend. She was hurting me and was laughing with me at the same time” she shook her head.
“Sick” she muttered and sat on the bed crisscrossed.
“She is dangerous” he stated.
“Someone who comes as your friend and stabs you behind can definitely kill you,” she said and he stiffened.
“There is something you must know,” he said taking her hand in his.
“If it is Daniella Copello related” she shook her head “I am not interested to know what it is” she sighed then sniffed again.
“Bu-”
“Please Miguel, I think I have heard enough of her for the day… I… I just ne-I… oh my” she quickly jumped from the bed and rushed to the bathroom then opened the toilet seat as she spilled her guts.
He went rushing behind her then held her hair while she spilled her guts and made gagging noises. He rubbed her back for comfort and she closed her eyes then let out a breath of air.
When she didn’t feel the need to throw up, she stood up with his help and he walked her to the sink so she could wash her mouth.
He opened the tap so the water could run and tied her hair in his kind of messy bun then scooped some water in his palm and held it out for her to put in her mouth so she could get rid of the remaining vomit in her mouth.
When she had washed her mouth, he sprinkled some water on her face and then gave her a towel to wipe her face.
He turned her to face him and then assessed her face to see if he could detect what was wrong.
“Are you okay?” he asked with a frown and she nods in response.
“I guess the info I just found out is making me feel really sick, it’s nothing” she waved her hand to brush it away and wanted to walk back to the room when he stopped her.
“Have you been feeling this way before or just now?” he still had the frown on his face.
She shook her head and then flashed him a smile to assure him that she was really okay.
“Just now, don’t worry I am fine… it’s nothing actually” she tells him and he just looks at her face not convinced that she was but decided to let it slide since she already confirmed that she was okay.
“I believe you,” he said then pecked her forehead before bending to pick her up bridal style and her hand went to wrap itself around his neck.
“I can walk,” she said with a smile and he chuckled.
“I know, there is nothing bad with carrying your bride,” he said and sat her on the bed then stood up straight.
“I wasn’t able to eat the food you packed for me earlier, so I will go get it,” he said and bent down to peck her nose then went out of the room to grab the food bag.
“I really hope this is sorted quickly” she muttered to the empty room and waited for him to get back.
