Lydia

Chapter 30 -part 2

Lydia

"Start then.." I told him

He stood silent for a few seconds. He approached the window and stood near me.

"Remember that night at the vessel when I told you my story?? I mean.. about that girl, my big love??" He asked

"I do.." I said

"Well-" he started saying but I cut him

"Peter, don't tell me about it. I know everything. Before you come, Anastasia was here and talked to me." I said

He looked at me shocked.

"What??" He asked shocked

I nodded.

"He told me that she was your big love some years ago. She also told me how you ended up together again.." I answered

He sighed.

"Then what do you want me to tell you??" He asked

"Why??" I asked back "Why did you do this Peter??"

"Try to understand me Lydia. You have loved like that too, you can do this.." he said "You know how it feels.."

"I have felt like that too, I know it. But why do I have to live a life full of lies?? When you proposed me, you told me that you would do your best in order to make both me and Markella happy. How would you make us happy?? With lies??" I said

"You were happy all this time, weren't you?? Tell me the truth.." he said

"I was. Both of us actually were happy, but with what you did, you destroyed everything." I said

He looked down.

"I know, I can't deny that.. but I want you to know that I tried a lot to resist. I tried really hard before I surrender and so did Anastasia. Maybe she tried even harder than me. It was only my fault, not hers. I was the one who seduced her again, who approached her again.. if I hadn't done this, nothing would have happened." He said "I'm sorry for failing both you and Markella.."

I shooked my head.

"Why didn't you talk to me since the beginning?? Why didn't you talk to me when you saw her at my house that day?? If you had told me-" I started saying but he cut me

"What should I tell you Lydia?? How could I tell you such a thing?? We were ready to start a new life together, I had promised you so many things, how could I take them back so easily??" He asked

"I know it was difficult, I can understand you in a way but look what happened now.. where we ended up!!" I answered "Why didn't you think that I have loved like that too and I could understand you before our marriage??"

"Because you were still in love with me as much as you were, I didn't want to disappoint you. You had treated me so well. How could I tell you such a thing?? Also I was risking to destroy your relationship with your sister. I didn't want that.." he said

"Now my relationship with my sister was even more in danger than before Peter!! Then nothing had happened between you, now everything has happened!!" I said indignantly "Also now you disappointed me more with your actions, I was trusting you almost with my life and you betrayed me!!"

"I'm not the only one in that relationship that betrayed.." he said quietly

I looked at him confused.

What was that he had said?? Where did that come from??

"What are you saying Peter?? Who has given you the right to think that I ever cheated on you??" I asked almost angrily
