A broken girl and a mafia story
*******
"I lov--" he was about to say those words but I put my hand in his mouth to stopped him and said "don't please" a tear escaped from my eyes "I'm not strong enough to...
There is a knock on her door. "Yes" she replied, Ace open the door "Xavier want you to give the next presentation, information is.." She shook her head "I'm not feeling well, I can't present it properly, asked others." He shrugged his shoulder "ok then." With that he leaves. She was doing this for like everyday.
She's trying her best to ignored him, this is not the first time he was asking her to be present in the same room with him. Like directly or indirectly if she was presenting something in a meeting as the ceo of the company he will be in that meeting room too. So she always avoid meeting which involves him.
She again keeps herself busy in works, didn't get the time to realize its already evening. There is a pin drop silence in the whole office. She closed the last file, her all energy was gone, she doesn't have any energy left to get up and went to her apartment, her head suddenly spin, so she rest her head on the table. She closed her eyes for a moment, gathering much more energy she gets up from the chair she gathered all the files and went towards Xavier's office room.
She was putting all the files when she heard a cold voice behind her. "So we finally met. You're good at ignoring people Miss Lyala" This voice is so familiar to her so she doesn't have to guess who is there and this cologne, her nostrils know damn well about this cologne. She knows who is there. Yeah it's Xavier but she stays still at her place she doesn't have any courage to face him.
She turned to leave the room but her body flinched when he pinned her on the wall without her knowledge. She gasped closing her eyes tightly. "Luna said you're not eating properly." He whispered. "L..leave my hands" she stammered. He chuckled darkly, "that's not the answer to my question butterfly."
He tightened his grip in her hand "look at me butterfly for once." He requested but, She tightly closed her eyes even more. He trail his finger on her jawline, "look at yourself in the mirror for once. And ask what you have done to yourself."
He nuzzled in her neck whispering "in these 2 months, I tried to find many reasons to hate you, but I did not find a single reason for which I hate you. I Hate Hating you. And I don't have any reasons to love you, I just love you. You're a addiction to me, please, I..I'm empty without my addiction. " He lowered his head until their forehead touch and their lips were inches away from each other.
"You're my world, my everything, my entire fucking existence. Please butterfly just once look at me." He sighed when she doesn't give any reaction, he softly placed a kiss on her cheek "I love you and I'm sorry for my behavior. But don't push me away, I'll die without you." His voice breaking, his shoulders shaking as he suppressed a sob. "Baby...please..I'm begging you...look at me please." Without saying anything else, he leaves her hand, without wasting any second she left the room not looking back.
In her apartment, she was lying lifeless in the bed, staring at the ceiling. She was stuck in a turmoil with no ending. She loves him but don't want to confess, the distant she created was only hurting her.
Talking about Luna, she spent most of her time in his mainson with Lisa. She went with Lisa to her house after school. At 8 PM Albert always came to drop Luna. Lyala spent her time being alone most of the time. So this is her daily routine, wake up, went to office, then come back home and wait for Luna to come.
There is a knock on the door, she knew Luna is here. She went to open the door, her breath hitched when she saw Xavier standing there. She immediately closes the door without hearing anything. Xavier sigh echoed through the door, "I'm here to drop Luna, can you please open the door. Lyala"
She knew very well, he hasn't come here to drop Luna, "butterfly, its been 2 months, you're ignoring me. Please let's talk." He requests but Lyala choose to stay silent, the emotions, the pain she has been carrying with outburst at once if she talked to him.
She is torturing herself for 2 months, she knew maybe someday she could overcome from him and move on, she also knew that's impossible. Lyla was away from Xavier for 2 years but still she couldn't forget him so what will she forget in 2 months. That 2 years is nothing in comparison to these 2 months. In this condition she will not be able to handle even Luna. Moreover her panic attacks are also returned.
She closes her eyes so that she does not get a panic attack, but when she closes her eyes she remembers her dead grandmother, her lifeless body, Ashley's face, in one minute her mind make her reminds everything.
She screamed loudly that to forget everything she closed her eyes tightly and covered hes ears with her hands. She screamed again and mumble "please, I...I can't" her sobs were echoed in the empty house.
Xavier flinched when he heard her scream, he panicked and bangs at the door, "Lyala open the door." He bang again "FUCKING OPEN THE GOD DAMN DOOR." He waits, hoping you'll respond, but all he can hear is your sobs.
The glass bottle shatters on the concrete, Xavier flinched at the sound. He slams his fist against the door, leaving a dent "opening the door Lyala." He yelled, his voice raw with emotion.
She flinched everytime he bangs at the door, "l..leave." gathering so much courage she whispered. "NO!" Xavier roars, banging on the door again. "I don't want to leave you! I want you to open this damn door and talk to me.
I want you to scream at me, hit me, scratch me, anything but push me away away like this." She was crying silently listening to him. Her sobs were stopped by now. She was shaking, her vision was getting blur, her head spin.
She tried to get up taking the support of the ground but with a loud thud she falls against the ground, closing her eyes. "SAY SOMETHING!" Xavier begs, his voice breaking. He slides down the door, sinking to the floor as tears streak down his face. "Please, baby. I can't bear you ignoring me like this. I'd rather you shout and rail at me than give me the cold shoulder. Butterfly please." He shouts unaware of the fact that she was lying unconscious on the ground.
Xavier buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking with silent tears. He feels like his heart is being torn in two. He can't stand the thought of her pushing him away, of her wanting him to leave. He loves her more than anything, and the idea of losing her is unbearable.
