When It's Too Late

Day 6

Alyssa Rae's POV....

I woke up the next day feeling all emotions in my head. I just want to lay down in bed and roll over, the whole day. But I know I can't do that. I am mourning for my loss, but I can't just stop there. I'll make sure to make them pay.

Chesca, she surely knows how to play a victim.

“Love, is it okay if Chesca will stay here for the—”
“No, this is my house. She is not welcome here.”
“Love, how could you say that? She needs someone right now, she needs us.” I raise my left brow.
“No Russell, she needs you, only you. If you want you can go with her. Just leave, if you want.” I said without hesitation.
“What's happening love? You've been distant since you came back, what happened?” he asked, sitting beside me.
“Go away, I don't want you near me.”
“Why, is your nose sensitive? Do I smell bad for you? I can change or stop using my perfume.”
“Just go, I have a visitor coming over. I know you want to go to your beloved.” he just stand up
“Okay, but we're going to talk later. Alright?” I didn't answer and he left.

Sigh. Typical boys trying hard to be a Man.

“Rae.” I immediately looked up, I will never forget that voice.
“Cly!” I immediately hugged him and he chuckles while hugging me back. Someone cleared a throat behind him and I looked up.
“Oh, Hi.” I look back at Cly and back to the man again.
“My bad, girl this is Tyler my Husband. And honey, this is my cousin Alyssa Rae.” my eyes widen.
“You're married?! How come you did not invite me?!” I exclaimed dramatically.
“We did not invite anyone as we got married in Thailand. But enough of me, we're here because of you. Tell me what happened.” I walk outside of my office.
“Samantha, please bring me 3 coffee and snacks. Thank you.” I close the door behind me before walking back to them.
“I'm sorry about that, but yes. Where should I start?”
“Up to you girl.” I smiled at them.

“Okay, so you remember when I told you I was arranged with Russell?”
“Yes, the hunk guy who's all over that white girl? Why?” he asked.
“Well, I was crushing hard for him before. When I knew that we will be arranged I'm so, so happy.” I sighed deeply.
“So happy that I started to think to myself that it's okay if he doesn't love me yet. I thought as the time goes by, he will just learn how to love me too. I, last 6 months ago. One of his friends contacted me because he was so drunk, and we were leaving together, so they wanted me to pick him up to make sure he goes home safe. I was drunk that night too. And I know that something happened to us because I remember everything. He was making love to me while moaning Chesca's name.” Tears started to escape my eyes.
“That very next day, he said that it was a mistake. That it shouldn't have happened. And that Chesca should never know about it.”
“Wait, isn't Chesca married?” I nodded.
“She is, but he can't let her go. Last 3 days ago, we talked that we will try to work everything out. But, but yesterday I wanted to surprise him, that I was back after a long business trip. His secretary told me he was in the office, and when I opened it, I saw him with Chesca.” I try my hardest to tell everything even though I was already a mess by crying.
“He told her to not mention my name, and what we're having next week is just a wedding and he will still love her even after that. That he will only love her. But what about me? I don't understand. He told me he loves me. I didn't know what else happened and when I woke up I was already in the hospital. I thought he found me, but he didn't. Mom said I was in a car accident and I lost my baby.” I kept crying, hard. All these years, I've loved Russell with all my heart. Even though everyone says I should stop because I don't have a chance. He's always vocal with his love for Chesca. Not until before we graduated Chesca married his long time crush too, through an arrange marriage. Russell was so devastated and I was there for him. I thought after Chesca got married I now have a chance, but no. He loved Chesca more than anything else. And now I realize I don't really have a chance.

“I don't want to marry him anymore.” I told them, we heard a loud thud outside the door. I was about to stand but Cly stopped me and his husband was the one who checked it.
“Help me, I don't want to cancel the wedding. I want to tell him everything inside that church and run away after. I don't want, I don't want to marry him. Help me escape after that.” he nodded immediately. His husband sit beside him after checking what happened outside.
“We will, we will help you. No worries, we will make a plan, if we need more people we can always ask your Mom. We will help you, don't worry.” I nodded.
“I'm sorry for you loss. I know you will be a great Mom, you're baby is now in heaven. I know it hurts, but you still continue to fight. We're so proud of you.” I sobbed.

All my life, I thought I would end up with Russell.
I have pictured my life with him, and our baby. But it was all taken away from me. I was hurting, but I can't just stop from life. I will fight, and get my own justice. After all what I've been through, I deserve that.

To be continued....
