It's Too Late To Love Me Back

Chapter 19

I drove my car towards the Merabat's company.. with only anger invading every thought in my head, so much that I failed to think of anything other than my desire to see the 4th dirt eating his fingers out of regret and shame.

I loved my uncles, truly, and a part of me still pathetically do, actually I'm someone who has very little rationality but so much heart to give to others, be it a heart full of love or overflowing of hatred.. I'm capable of them both to desperate extents.

Today I'm obviously not in the mood to love.

I reached the company somehow.. no, I reached Younes's office somehow, I can't even remember what happened between the time I left my car and the time I found myself banging on Younes's office door, and yes I did not knock on the door.. I hit it with my clenched fists which was very needless since his secretary, whom I haven't noticed, was standing right beside me watching me with a face that said:

" What's with this crazy woman, why is she banging on the door to begin with? can't she see I'm here to open it for her and walk her inside?"

She calmly waited until I emptied my anger on the door, then opened it without any further ado.

The moment I walked inside the office, I found Younes folding his arms while standing in front of his desk, he was leaning on it.. and looking ahead with an amused smile.

He must have knew it was me from the violent fashion of my entrance, because no one other than the fearless me would have had the audacity to so mindlessly bang on Younes Merabat's office door, or maybe his secretary already informed him about my coming through the internal line which is a detail I wouldn't even register in my fuzzy rage-affected memory.

In anyway and everyway, the man was smiling while knowing I was miserable, and that's that.

I wouldn't have smiled if I were him, because even to a jerk who walked on my pride I would still have enough respect not to so heartlessly rejoice at his misery, I'm not that vengeful and unfeeling.

I don't love him anymore..

But it was still heartbreaking to see him working harder to make me hate him more than any effort he made to keep me loving him in the past.

I try to overlook his insulting smirk, but I couldn't overlook the pain it caused me.

_" I see___" he starts to say, but I immediately interrupt him:

_" Whatever you believe I'm here for you're sorely mistaken Mr Merabat, if you have any feud to settle with my family then do it to the extent of your means, I couldn't care less, I'm here to tell you if you won't make it so my uncle won't have face to walk in public again then I will do it on your behalf."

_" How come__" he starts to talk again, and again I simply ignore him, I took the book he sent me out of my bag and I threw it on the ground and said:

_" Also, never involve me in your bids again, because the next time you force me to come see your ugly smirk I swear I'll make it my life's purpose that you would never have the heart to smile again."

_" I don't have any obligation to explain my facial expressions to you Miss Majdan, but for the sake of clearing any delusion of yours I'm not smiling because I'm so happy you're here, rather everytime I think your beloved family couldn't stoop even lower they surprise me again, I sent them away with an ambiguous note written to you just so I test whether you would be used as their scapegoat somewhere along the way, this is my final gesture of kindness if you can call it so for you to open your eyes at the people you call family, Your esteemed family has been nothing but a swamp of decay and fraud for long years, their downfall was bound to happen one way or another, with or without my instigation, I kept them hidden and protected for as long as I did for our sake, but there's no US anymore so I have no left reason to be so generous, keep your guards up Rima Majdan because things are only getting worse from here, or better yet leave that place all together."
