The Billionaire and Me ✔

Vacation?

Chapter 11

Sometimes I wonder why does life need to be so damn confusing? Why can't things just be simple. As simple as a walk in the park.

But then again simple was never really something that excited people. Life would honestly become boring without the challenges. But wasn't sweet and simple better than the confusing one!?

I was never really able to understand Christian. I tried, belive me I tried really hard to understand and know what he wants. I always did what he asked of me just because it made him happy.

But did he ever care about my happiness? What I wanted?
The answer was right on the tip of my tongue. A big fat NO! But I stuck by him all the damn time.

He on the other hand always left me hanging. Just like what he did at the cafeteria. He could've just told me what he wanted but intead he said something I definitely didn't understand.

I've heard people say if you can't convince them ,then confuse them.
And I'm confused!

What did he mean when he said that he'll see me soon? Was he thinking about taking Aiden away from me? The only person I've left? My only family?
Would he do that to me? But then again he has already done terrible things to be before. So he could do it again.

"Scarlet, I need you to tell me what the hell is going on in your life?" I looked up to see Clara standing near my bed post. When did she get here?

"What do you mean?" I obviously acted clueless .

"No, no young lady do not pull the 'what do you mean' card on me. You know full well what I'm talking about"  I knew she was concerned about me. How my life changed in the span of a few days is still a mystery to me

"Clara, can we please not talk about it"

"No, we've to talk. We need to talk. I don't understand what's happening in your life anymore. A few days back you were dead set on leaving and going back to the shitty man and now you act as if he doesn't mean anything to you. How is that possible?" That was something I still couldn't figure out.

I have no idea why I couldn't leave with Christian that day. It just didn't feel right. Talk about confusion

"I don't know. When I saw Christian that day, standing outside my house. It looked like we were meant to be this way. You know, away from each other. And I did what I felt was right."

Clara was about to say something. Probably comment on how weird my thinking was but couldn't say anything as Zack jumped on the bed and wrapped himself in the blanket.

"You guys having a kitty party without me? I'm so hurt. Clara, baby, I thought you loved me" Zack faked hurt. While Clara just shook her head and smiled at her husband.

You see, this is what I was talking about. I want a relationship like they have. The perfect understanding, the perfect talk and what Christian and I lacked the most 'trust'.

He didn't trust me enough to confront and ask about the pictures instead he took the easy way out. He just threw me outside. In the winter, on our anniversary. Nothing can hurt more than that. Nothing.
I know a few people might think that I'm being extremely dramatic but you'll only know how I feel once you come to that phase of life.

I was so excited. I wanted to share the news of my pregnancy with the man whom I once called my husband. That was supposed to be the happiest day of my life but it turned out to be the opposite. And when the love of your life throws you out of his life without a second glance, its like something inside of you just dies. It hurts. It hurts so damn much.
