Tangled Bliss (ON HOLD)

Chapter 22

"Divorce him." Millie sat beside me and offered me a tissue as I was sobbing.

I looked at Millie and cried more. For the love of God, I can never find it me to leave Braden.

"Its the best. Someone who has stooped so low doesnt deserve a wife. A wife who loves him so much. He deserves none of the love." Millie was obviously more angry than she will be usually. Pregnant women had crazy moodswings normally and Millie was no exception.

She was a little over  4 months but she had kept it a secret due to her previous miscarriage . I was surprised to see a  baby bump that day I returned from the business trip. But events that unfolded after made me forget the excitement of me becoming a godmother.

"I dont think I can live without him." I admitted.

Millie rolled her eyes. She has been convincing me to divorce him but I have been refusing to.

"Is it because there are chances you are carrying his child?" Millie asked.

I smiled slighty and shook my head. I didnt need a baby on top of all these mess. My period that arrived two days ago confirmed that the heavens agreed with me.

"Then what is stopping you?" She asked.

"I love him. I love him more than anything." I professed.

"But he doesnt love you or else this wouldnt have been how he treats you!" Millie raised her voice.

Millie's husband,Chris,came out from the kitchen with a plate of french fries. "There you go. Satisfy your cravings and let Ally relax for a bit." He smiled at his angry wife.

"You wouldnt be this calm if you had seen how much she was crying last night. Alex got worried that she was going to die crying." Millie chided her husband.

The doorbell rang and I wiped my tears, getting ready to savour some pizza. Chris had gone to get the door.

"You should calm down,Mils. I feel bad dragging you into my problems. Especially when you are pregnant."

"Ally, you are my dearest. I cant see you suffering." She had her tears making their way from her eyes.

"Uhm.. Ally, you have a guest." Chris entered the living room revealing Braden.

"Ally, I just want to take you out for lunch. A final one?" He spoke first.

He was calling me as "Ally" but telling he wanted meet for the last time.

I was disappointed and intrigued. Upon seeing the stubble on his face and weary eyes,my anger had melted away.

"Okay." I said flatly,ignoring Millie's disapproving look.
Chris smiled and nodded his head that he will take care of Millie.

That woman needed to rest and calm down.

I followed Braden and got into his car.

The trip was short considering the fact that Braden chose to eat in a nearby restaurant. Nothing fancy.

We settled down and ordered some pasta with some soft drinks.

"Okay so why did we come here?"I asked.

Braden looked up and cleared his throat.

"I will be going to New York for about 6 months. Business trip. But I guess we can use this time to get over each other. You and Jase should get back together. You wont have to worry about me. I will send in the divorce papers once I reach New York." He silently placed his fork on his plate.

"Do you really think I want to go back with Jase? After all I had told you?" I asked him.

"You are rightfully his. You guys loved each other." He told.

"Then what about us?" I asked him.

"Forget it. I came here to say goodbye. Dont change my mind." He said standing up and leaving after he paid the bill.

He shot me one glance from the car and left.

"Goodbye Braden." I said one last time.
