Arrange Marriage (Bughead)

Chapter 39

JUGHEAD.

ONE MONTH LATER

It's been over a month and a lot has changed. My father resigned his position as CEO and has now given it me. Two months ago I would have been glad that I was given this position I desired to have.

Now I don't know what to feel like. Ever since she left everything in me has changed. I don't feel like myself a part of me is missing and that's her.

I've tried everything to get her back. I've called her but she would ignore my calls. I went to the bar a few day's ago to see if I spotted her but there was no luck. John told me that she hasn't been going for a while.

Now here I was at the office in my house. I spent most of my time here. I can't go out to our room without feeling guilty. I barely slept these past days my father has told me multiple times to get out and go the building, but I just can't.

I don't have the energy for it. I needed her in my arms. I want to hug her, kiss her soft lips and hold her forever. Now I can't do that.

She would have been my wife two weeks from now. We would have been living the best life, but we aren't. She sent me two weeks ago the ring I gave her. Jenna came in that day and told me that someone dropped it off at the front door.

When I opened it that's when I saw the ring and the other items I've given to her. I didn't want any of these stuff I wanted her. I would have careless if she sold them I just needed her.

There was knock on my door. I haven't allowed people to come by. The last people who have come by were Sweet pea, Fangs, Toni, and my father.

There was another knock. "Who is it." I called out.

They opened the door and was met with Jenna. I've told Jenna that she's not allowed here unless someone is here. But I've always the others to text me if they are ever come by.

"Mr Jones I know I'm sorry I shouldn't but she was too persistent and I couldn't get her out of here." She muttered out.

"Who?"

"Get out the way I don't care if he doesn't want me here I need to take to him." Another woman's voice was heard behind her.

Jenna was pushed off to the side allowing them to walk past by her. I didn't know who I was expecting but it sure wasn't her.

"Greetings asshole. I'm Veronica lodged." Her voice full of sassiness.

"What are you doing here? I don't want to talk to no one especially you."

"Too bad I'm here, deal with it." She shrugged and took a seat on the chairs across my desk.

I glared at her wanting her to leave but she glared back at me with anger. "Jenna you're good to go." I told her. She nodded and left us alone, closing the door behind her.

"What do you want Veronica." I spoke.

"Well first fuck you for coming to me and asking for help to rescue her and then break her heart after."

"That has nothing to do with you." I pointed out.

"Oh yes it does. You know why, because of you she's not the same she's changed she hasn't gone out her room, and barely eats. She hasn't been herself anymore."

I haven't ether.

"I did it to protect her." I know what I did was wrong but I was protecting her.

She laughed. "By breaking her heart when she trusted you the most. She trusted you more than me and yet you broke her trust. Really Jughead."

I knew I hurt her, but I never thought how much I affected her.

"I'm sorry I know I fucked up. I know what I did was wrong. I haven't been able to go to our room without felling guilty. It's destroying me from the inside knowing that I let her go and couldn't get her back."

"Why aren't you trying then." She argued.

"Trust me Veronica I've tried. I tried calling her, going to her work. She's just not allowing me to." I argued back.

"Why did you have to do this to her. If you claimed you loved her why did you do it." She said raising her voice.

"I do love her." I shouted slamming my hand against my desk. "I love her so much that I couldn't bear loosing her to her father. He would have taken her from me if I didn't confess."

"Why."

"He wanted everything we and my father had and for that he would have killed Betty. I did what I had to do but I wanted to explain to her everything that night. Only to find out she had gone to your house." I explained.

I still get flashbacks of that day.

"Jughead, she started cutting herself again." Veronica's voice cracked. Catching my attention.

"She doesn't know that I know, she hasn't told me but I've seen her cuts on her. I would hear her cries late night. I don't know how long she's been doing this but I don't want her going through it again."

"No."

I told her last time that I want her to tell me when she does hurts herself. I was supposed to protect her I was supposed to be with her. Now that she's gone I can't do that.

"I wanted to help her but I don't want to risk her doing something worse. Jughead you hurt her bad. I won't forgive you for that."

I won't ether.

"I came here because I know that you will be the only one to help her, you will be able to get her out of this misery. She hates you because you used her, like her parents did."

"Where is she right now?" I questioned. I want to know she's somewhere safe.

"She's living with me. She'll be living with me as long as she wants to. She doesn't know I came here. If you talk to her don't mention this to her."

"I don't know if she'll talk to me or forgive me." I say.

"She will. She's a forgiving person but I need you to be honest to her don't lie to her. It will take her a few days but she will forgive you." I hope she's right.

"Please tell me everything about her if I she won't allow me to see her at least let me know she's doing okay."

"I will." She said before walking up to the door.

"Jughead, here is a little warning if you hurt her again. Next time you see me it will be the day you die." Those were her final words before she left and shut the door behind her.

I didn't know if I should be scared of losing Betty or getting killed by her best friend. It won't lead to that because I know I will be able to get Betty back.

That's a promise.
