Use me

Ch7: Cut me off

He spent his last days in the beaches of California he was busy working. He made sure to always stay busy. Every day was a challenge for him to do. He made sure to make himself as tired as he could to make sure that his brain will not think, to not go in past in memories, in regrets and to not go in neverland.

It was a rainy evening sky was filled with dark clouds he was staring at the sky drinking his black coffee when he heard his phone ringing. It was Ray. She used to call him only when she needed him at some party or whenever the public or her image was involved. With same thoughts he picked up his phone.

Ray: "Hello!" In a stressed tone.

Sam: "Now what?" In a cold manner.

"I want to tell you something."

"Yes."

"I am pregnant. It has been a month now."

"You can name him by my name if you want." He acted ignorantly.

"I am pregnant with our baby."

"What? It's not possible. We never slept together. You are lying." He was shocked he felt as if sky fell on his head.

"We did. On party night and when you asked me to dance for you that night. I mixed medicine in your dinner plate and drinks."

"I cannot believe it. Did you really do it? That's why I cannot remember anything from that day.How could you?"

"I am sorry."

"No you are not sorry. You were never sorry. How could you do this? Actually you are really happy because you can shut people off now you will finally have kids to show off to the world. You are actually really proud of it are you not? Is it that simple for you to sleep with any guy?How...

Interrupting him "You are my husband not some  guy Sam. Yes I did what I wanted."

"Husband. Bullshit. I am not we never had any relation you always used me and you are still doing what you want. If you really wanted kid you could have slept with anyone why did you have to that to me just so it should be perfect right? I am totally disgusted. You have lost my respect completely. I truly hate you. You fell so low Ray. I never want to see you again. Never."

He hung up. He was furious. He started throwing things on the floor. Punching on the wall to kicking walls he was in rage. He did not knew what to do now it was done that minor respect he had for her was now gone. He knew now she could do anything to keep her position to satisfy herself he was just a pawn on her board. While she could not keep her cool.

She knew he was going to burst. His words tore her into pieces. He left a scar on her heart. She knew he would never come back now. She could not ask him for anything it was all over. She has to decide now.She felt dizziness she stood up from the sofa in the balcony while she was headed towards her room. Suddenly she slipped and she fell on the floor.Michael saw her falling and ran towards her.

Michael: " Are you okay? Should I call a doctor? You know you are pregnant why cannot you take care of yourself. Stand up."

He held her hand and led her to her room. Forcefully he made her lie on the bed. She felt as if someone has drained her soul.He felt really bad for her sister.

Ray: " I told him. He said I can do anything. He said he was disgusted and that he will never come back now."

Michael: " Forget him Ray he never loved you, we will find a better guy for you."

Ray: "He did love me once I swear.I played him I turned him into this or maybe this is karma. I am cursed with unhappiness for all the people I hurt once.I will not find a guy ever. Even if I will he will be as shallow as I am."

"You are not shallow."

"You know you are lying. Anyway along the way I left my heart somewhere. I was always busy making us look good to keep our head high to use every means to get what was best. Stepping on people using them as a ladder to climb up. I lost."

"It will be fine."

"Forget it, let's do what is expected of me. I will ask him to make a scandal than I will play victim card and women card and badmouth him everywhere and take alimony and then I will find a guy with a best deal. Then we will get married we will pretend to be a good couple in front of public while he will keep on cheating on me and I will keep managing things like I always do." She talked hysterically. She was lying on bed motionless. She has lost a lot of weight in past few days.

He did not knew what to say she was going to do that but a part of him knew she wanted him. But it was finally over now.He left her lying their half unconscious on bed and went out. He was standing helplessly for a moment he hated himself.

He could never do anything for her; he was always useless. He was headed to the club. He was overwhelmed. He was going back and forth to court to tuition to NGO to club he was always rushing since last month. He had a lot of things on his plate.

In a way going to an NGO has helped him significantly. But he was now back at it again he started spending his days in club in arms of multiple women in multiple useless fights and rash drivings trying to get into an accident.He was home after a week he wanted to run to his room in case he might catch a glimpse of her sister. It would have hurt him badly.

But to his surprise Liza was already there sitting in the main hall waiting for him in a floral dress and flats. She was looking elegant in a ponytail as always but he hated her presence he did not want to meet anyone at that time.

Liza: "You are absent for a week now. Your exams are just around the corner. Where did all your ambition go?"

Michael: "Why are you here? It has nothing to do with you. It's all meaningless, it's useless. I quit. I cannot change anything." He avoided her.

Liza: "It has to do with me because I am still teaching you and I take my job seriously. Why is it all useless now?"

Michael: " I wanted to help my sister. To take her away. To find her a better guy."

"What happened to that?" She was curious.

"She can find a better guy by herself and the only guy she wants is Sam and that hope is gone now. She is stubborn. She wants what she wants. She will not be satisfied with anything less."

" I am in love with him too. I often go to California to meet him. He is always there studying and working his only motive is to kill time. As he thinks everything is useless. He is tired of living. There was time when I did everything to woo him but I could not he was grown out of that stuff but he told me about stuff related to your sister who he loved once. Anyway what I want to say is there is always a way always hope." She leaned on the sofa.

"There is none now. Get lost."

"He left her there and started walking towards his room. She stood in a flirty posture with a meaningful smile on her face and blocked his way by standing just in front of him.

"What if we can get them together?"

"Not possible."

"Bet?"

"Anything for Ray." He surrendered.

"You will have to help me too. If I will win you will have to do what I say and this time no cheating."

"Alright." They shake hands.

"Then meet me tomorrow."
