The Healed Photoframe - A Dark Billionaire Romance

31. Uncanny Counter🦋

Before my brain could progress the whole situation, my body moved on its own and the next thing I knew that I pushed Juane off from me. The push was so hard and sudden for him that he couldn't keep his balance. He wobbled like a newborn calf and fell hard on the floor with a thud sound.

"Arrgghhh...!" He howled in pain and quickly held his knee, because his ankle was in so much pain that he couldn't touch it.

"Oh no! On no!" I quickly squatted in front of him, opening and closing my fist in panic. "Are you alright?"

"Mmm..." he moaned in pain. I stared at his ankle for a few seconds then abruptly got up, turned on my heel and got out from there.

I don't recall how I made it up to my car. I just opened the car door, climbed in, gripped on the steering wheel tightly and stared blankly through my windshield.

What the fuck just happened?

Ring... Ring...

I was still in the daze when my phone suddenly started to ring. I checked the ID and it was Ian. I took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello. Mrs. Ryan, are you alright?" Ian asked me in a concerned tone.

"Yeah. Why?" I tried to pick up my composer.

"You looked troubled when you rushed to the car. Is everything alright?"

"Yes. Everything...fine." I cleared my throat. My thoughts were kind of jumbled up right now. "Okay listen, I'll talk to you later." I cut the call and threw my phone on the shotgun seat. I ran my fingers through my hair and gripped them a little.

Should I tell Ron about what happened? Or not?

Ron had his suspicion and wanted to pry on Juane before. But I stopped him. But then again, why the hell did Juane kiss me again? Did he like me or what? Or maybe was it just an impulse move because he was unwell?

"Ughh.." I groaned out in frustration and hit my head lightly on the steering wheel. I waited in that parking lot for another ten minutes then decided to drive to Ron.

Yeah, I had to tell him. It wasn't a bump or unintentional skinship between lips.

Juane kissed me.

I didn't have any explanation, but still I had to tell Ron everything.

When I reached the penthouse Stacy was already gone and there was no sign of Ron. I calmed myself down and called him.

My call was cut and I got a message right after that.

"Stuck in a meeting. Can you wait for a few minutes? Please reply back."

I bit my lower lip and let go a long sigh. I decided to let him finish his job first. It would be a heavy talk. I should've waited and let him come home. After I would think he was relaxed then I would slowly tell him everything.

I typed and replied back to him.

"It's okay. Nothing important. Just call you to let you know, I am home."

Ding...

Another message.

"Great. I will come as soon as I finish everything."

"Okay."

I poured myself some Margaux and relaxed on the couch. I cracked my neck and massaged them as I was rehearsing myself in my mind what to say to Ron.
