Their Destiny (COMPLETED/EDITING)

Meeting my ex

Waiting. I always thought there was beauty in uncertainty. Something about not knowing what is gonna happen was always positive to me. Because when nothing is certain, anything is possible. And I had plenty of uncertainty ever since I met Kayl. Since the first glance I took of him when he almost ran over me with his car, till this day when I was supposed to meet my ex who seemed to have a lot to say about Kayl. And at times my mind would take me back to that day, the day it all started when I first met Kayl and I wonder, what type of twisted messed up coincidence took me there?

And there I was, in my car in front of Edward's house. Many thoughts storming through my head, most of them pushing me away from meeting him. Only one lonely thought centered in front of my eyes, one thought that was telling me to go in and find out what may be the truth. God knows I didn't want to go in, I didn't want to find out anything bad about Kayl, I didn't want to come out of there disappointed, broken hearted, or hurt. But I had to listen to what Edward wanted to tell me. And now, I hope I never got in or heard the side of the story that is gonna scar me so bad, I dont think I've healed till now.

That was my first meeting with Edward ever since the weird mysterious meeting him and I had in the hospital back in Brooklyn. For the most part I had no intention of bringing that night up anyways, it scared and scarred me enough to not want to remember it or think of it ever again. It was the night I received my first obvious hint that something is up with Arsen, and at times I wish I'd taken that hint seriously.

And before I could pussy out, before my overwhelming desire to see Arsen as the angel he isn't, I forced myself to walk in and knock the door. The door that was opened by my ex. I looked at him silently before he said a word. Noticing all the changes that has happened to him over the past 2 years. Wider shoulders and longer hair. He's grown his beard now that I am not around to force him to shave it off since I hate beards. He looked good, better than before.

"Destiny." He smiled awkwardly.

"Edward." I nodded giving him a faint smile.

"Thanks for coming, I honestly didnt think you'd show up."

"Yeah me neither." I raised my eyebrows carelessly not knowing what's the proper thing to say. I was there to heat what has to say, not make a conversation. I followed him inside the house that still looked the same as before.Only a new frame on the wall with a picture of him and who I thought to be his current fiancee.

"How are you now." He asked smiling softly.

"I am good." I sighed. "But I am also not here to have a conversation. I just wanna know what you have to say."

"Yes, Kayl." He stated. "I just want you to know that I am only gonna say this for your own good. God knows, I didn't plan to get in the way of your life again. Until 2 months ago, I only was wishing you peace and prosperity in your life, but when I noticed you may be getting in danger, I had to interfere."

"Danger?" I asked. "Just get to the point, Edward please."

"He is not who you think he is. I am pretty sure you don't know anything about his past, or background. Because if you did, you would have only gotten away from him not closer."

"Yeah, you think? And what do you know Edward? And how?" I inquired aggressively.

"I know, his name isn't Kayl Harton. I know he is kidnapper, and I know that his job as a pilot is merely money laundry to him. And for how I know this, well,,, uhm." He stuttered scratching the back of his head. "You didn't forget that my brother is an officer did you?"

"Police?" I blurted. "He's involved with the police?!"

"No. Yes! Uh it's complicated." He hesitated. "They have nothing against him, but we know he's committed a lot of illegal actions." He explained, but his words were only making me more confused.

"Edward, thank you for caring." I said getting up. "I've heard enough."

"Destiny! He kidnapped his sister and her daughter!" Edward cried grabing my arm forcing me to stop. "He took them away from her husband, and took all the money they've inherited."

"You're a liar! His sister asked him to take her away from her abusive husband!" I defended Kayl not baring all the crap he's telling me.

"That's what he told you?" He asked sarcastically. "Abusive husband? Destiny he lied to you."

"I don't need to hear this." I stated firmly getting out of the house.

"Hey!" Edward called for me before i could get in to my car. "Here." He handed me a paper with a phone number written on it with an area code before it. "That's the abusive husband's phone number. Call him if you care to know the truth."

I drove home changed and headed back again to the airport to catch the left 2 flights of the day. I held back any thoughts and stopped them from affecting my feelings towards Arsen. I wasn't mentally ready to deal with this surprise at the moment. I had to get peace and quietness to be able to think everything through. This decision or plan or whatever the upcoming was gonna be, it wasn't something I could rush in to.

And for that period of time between hearing what Edward told me and the first time I'd met Arsen after it, it was a period of drastic change in my life. I spent days and nights up thinking about what my next move should be. Walking away from it all wasn't an option for me, neither was pretending that nothing had happened. For all I know, Edward may be bluffing, but then again, so may Arsen. So I had to find out which one of them lied and about what, and accordingly make my decision. Another big decision was putting myself first, I coudln't be the desperate clingy person anymore.

Did I still have feelings for Arsen through it all? Yes I sorta did. But to find out the truth behind it all I had to constrain myself around him. I had to stop following him around and asking for his attention to see what his reaction would be. And if what I heard about him using me for his own evil good is true, he'd try to make a move on me to get us closer to get to his goal right? And god knows, I didn't want him to make any moves on me. God knows, I wanted him to be the person filled with ego that I know of. God knows, I had no intention to ruin the prince charming image I had of him.

For the first time ever, I was hoping Arsen would stay away from me.
