Destined

CHAPTER 42- Same lines, same lies?

CADY'S POV

I woke up in an unfamiliar room, I checked my phone, and it was almost noon. I went back to the office and Kevin was gone. I texted him to let him know I was already awake, but he left his phone on his table. I sat on the sofa and waited for him. He and Gilbert came back a few minutes later with a scowl on his face and went directly to his desk. I was scared to approach him, but his expression softened when he saw me. He asks Gilbert to leave, I sit on his lap, wrap my arms around his neck and ask him what happened. "Athena is making a scene in the lobby." Someone opens the door suddenly. It was Athena, she was furious when she saw us.

She was about to walk towards us when Kevin said "Athena I believe you've met my future wife" he then showed her my hand and kissed it. "Yes, I know that whore! You are just a rebound!! Kevin, you told me I'm your life, you told me you can't live without me and I'm your...." Kevin interrupted her before she could finish her sentence, but I knew what she was about to say. She is his soulmate. I do not know what to do. He said those exact words to me. "Stay out of our lives, you're just someone in our past now and I'm not welcoming you in our present and future. I do not want to see you ever again, do not play games with me Ms. Prince!" He dialed his phone and call security. He saw confusion in my eyes. I stood up as soon as Athena left his office. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I was confused, who many women have he persuaded with those words? I ask him to bring me home instead.

I went straight to the guest room right away. He tried to come after me, but I was able to lock the door immediately. He was knocking at the door, but I just ignored him. Tears started to roll down my face and I cannot control it. I was crying furiously I was hurt he said those exact word to me, He kept knocking. He tried breaking the door when I heard the keys. He opened the door and hugged me. I felt tired from all the crying, and I was too weak to push him away. He held me for a long time, but I could not stop the tears. He called Carlo fearing I am having panic attacks and told him what happened.

Carlo arrived and he was furious at Kevin, he gave me some pills and brought me to his car. I woke up the following day in my bedroom. Kevin was sitting next to me, he had a busted lip, bruised cheek, and black eye. Dad came in and said Kevin and I should talk but if I want to call off the wedding, it's my call" I face Kevin's face turn pale then dad left. Kevin was looking at me, but I could not bear to see his face. He tried to hold my hand, but I snatched it away. He knelt on my bedside and started to talk. "Yes, I said I love her, and I cannot live without her. I was in love with her before or I thought I was, but I never said she is, my soulmate. I broke up with her a few months before we met, and I was totally over her. You were never a rebound baby. I never ask her to marry me. I did not even see myself getting married to her. I am ok with her being my girlfriend but not my wife. I never mentioned her to my parents, and they have not met her either. Baby everything, I said to you is true. The first time I saw you in the cab you were mad at me. My heart fluttered the entire night. All I know is that I cannot get you out of my mind. And when I saw the ring, I knew I would be giving it to you and no one else. After I saw you at the hospital, I started asking about wedding preparations. Baby, please believe me I love you, and I want to spend my eternity with you.

He grabbed my hand and started weeping. I looked at him, I cannot stand seeing him like this. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder, and we stayed like this for a long time. I let go of him and looked at his face. "What happened?", "your brothers were furious when they learned you we were crying Gera was having a hard time stopping them. Good thing your dad intervened, I do not blame them, they gave me a warning. Gera tended to his bruises while I was asleep. I change my clothes and meet my dad "are you two still going to get married or not?" I nodded and pulled Kevin to the table. We started eating breakfast. Kevin decided not to go to work today. I told him I will not run away. We went home to the penthouse and stayed in our room the whole day. Kevin cuddled me and kept kissing my head.
