Chapter 80
"Manar" he said when I was about to enter my apartment. I turned around and crossed my arms, letting the cold get to me. He was looking at me with an unfamiliar expression.
"Don't give up on us. Don't give up on something beautiful" he said, which made me smile a bit. I looked him in the eyes, knowing that he meant it.
"Then show that this could actually work" I said and turned around to enter my house. I didn't turn around to say goodbye and just went in there, knowing I would freeze if I looked into his beautiful eyes. I entered Thea's house with a smile, explaining everything to her.

I knew I shouldn't have given her hope. She was going to get hurt again. I knew that my parents would do anything to break this marriage but I couldn't do it. I needed her in my life. She was the only one that could knock some sense into me. Who could make me feel good like I've never felt before. She has such a good soul that it was impossible not to love her. I walked back towards the park where my car was parked. Luckily, it wasn't that far away. I felt so good, so good about the talk. Being on good terms is a beginning and it meant everything to me that she still trusted me, even after all I did, so I had the chance to explain myself. She should realize that I did it all for her. I stepped into my car when I reached it and drove home, where I hadn't been in for such a long time. I knew I needed to face them first before I could make Manar mine again.
Our maid opened the door for me, looking shocked for seeing me.
"Welcome Mr. Debhi" she said, taking a step aside. I walked inside and threw my jacket on the drawer.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked her. She just nodded while walking over to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes. They manipulated them so into not talking unless necessary that they were afraid to answer a simple question. Just because these people had less money didn't mean they had to be treated like that. I felt footsteps and knew that it was my father, walking towards the entrance of the living room, where I was.
When he came into view, he looked angry. His eyes burnt me and I knew I was in trouble. Not that I cared much.
"You, little man" he sissed, walking closer. I had never seen him this angry, besides the wedding day.
"You have some explaining to do!" he yelled, which I rolled my eyes at. He then grabbed me by my neck and pushed me against the wall. I didn't change my expression since I knew this was coming.
"Come on! Beat me up, just like you used to do with mum, go on! I dare you" I yelled back, remembering him of the old days where he used to abuse my mother. She had been through so much. Her husband that treated her like shit and cheated on her, bringing his child to my mother to run away with his lover. I was the one who watched it all. I was the one who hugged my mother and cared for her, even though she always pushed me away. The only thing she cared about was my father and his money. The attention they never gave me or my brother was not what they deserved right now.
"How dare you?! How dare you leaving the bride like that on her wedding day! How dare you marrying someone without our permission and so secretly! Do you know how much trouble you caused?! Have you any idea what I had to deal with?! You promised me you were going to marry her if I helped you with finding that stupid kid. I kept my promise, but you on the other hand ruined everything! You couldn't act like a man and stand up to your promise since you are not a real man!" I shoved him away, getting angry at what he was saying.
"Since when do you care?! You never asked me what was going on with my life. You never asked me what I wanted to be. You weren't there when I had to take care of my brother. Don't tell me I didn't keep my promise, since you never promised anything in the beginning!" I said, being completely angry. I didn't want to burst since I knew it would've been bad and yet I couldn't hold it anymore. He took a step closer, pointing his finger at me.
"You know what. Grab your things and leave. I don't want to see you ever again" he spit out with anger.
