A Deal With The Devil

Chapter 26

Isabella

What am I gonna do? I suddenly felt locked. Starting this day, I'm already connected to Simon.
But he doesn't need to know. I can say that Gabe is the father. But, I don't think Gabe and I are in good terms cause his way too upset. I'm adding to his problems. What kind of girlfriend am I?

I didn't do anythink for three days, all I did was crying.

My mind keeps on flashing the memory I hate to remember.

"Is Simon hurting you?" Simon's mother, Mom Monica asked.

Emotionally, Yes.

"No Mom." I lied. "He's just a little bit cranky. He's just tired from tiring work. He runs a big business, so it's understandable if he's moody sometimes."

"Dear, tell me if he does. I know my son is a devil. He always stand out and do excellence in everything he do. He became robotic. I knew Simon is a devil. But dear, I know he loves you. He just don't have the guts to express. If he hurts you, tell me. But please dear, do me a favor."

I was curious.... what favor?

"Never gave up on him, never leave him. I know he's been on too much already and I don't know what will happen if he'll lose you."

"I won't mom. I promise." I replied fastly. I love Simon so much. I can't leave him too.

I remember when Lily say that I should be alert in his words cause you wouldn't notice the love gestures of an unexpressive person.

Fasten your seatbelt
Take a rest now
Eat alot.

He says that alot so he probably love me.

Simon sat on the dining table beside me and his family.

"Son. Do you know that Isabella cooked all these?" Monica said proudly.

I was really expecting a reaction but he just nodded. I should be used to his unexpressive manner but I always crave his attention, affection, and appreciation.

Simon and I lied on the large king size bed on one of his hotels and he lied too.

I noticed his neck.

Hickey.

I breathed in so hard. I tried to ignore him. I know his cheating on me and I'm a big martyr who tries to ignore everything even if it's hurting already.

I saw Elladiah on the lobby earlier.

I sighed and close my eyes. I can't keep my tears.

I ran onto the bathroom and locked it.  Sitting on the floor and bending my knees to meet my forehead and cried.

The bathroom door was banging.

"Isa what happened?!" Simon yelled.

I ignored him and let my tears escape freely. Since I was married, all I do is cry. When I want to scream my anger, jealousy and hurt I felt towards Simon, I cry silently.

He banged it again.

"Isabella open this damn door!!"

Please leave me alone....

He banged it, banged it again and again.

Until it opened forcefully when Simon kicked it so hard.

I was shocked to the loud thud of the door. I looked at the person made it. He was breathing hard. His panting.

He is sweating. As if he did too much effort just to see me. Comfort me.
