Heiress

Chapter 33

"Are you happy now? Did you get the revenge you wanted? Don't I deserve a thank you too?"I was so damn mad right now. I can't believe how messed up things are right now.

"What are you talking about?!" He yelled at me.

"Acting all innocent?! Oh please. You want to me to suffer too right?"
My chest is burning.

"Well let me tell you this, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I am suffering." My tears kept falling.

He look so shock.

"Every time I see you, I suffer even more. Why? Because I love you so much. "

"Do you think it was nothing to me? That it was easy? Living everyday knowing that the person you love can't be with you because you're not capable of being loved?! "

"I endured it all and planned to start a new with these children. They made me feel like I can be loved again. That I'm enough. No demands.. No expections.. But look what just happened now, you made me start to feel like I'm not enough again. I thought I will be enough for them--no... I was enough for them before you entered the picture. "

"but now look at you! Showing up again! Stirring things up again and making things complicated for me!"

"Can't you just accept the fact that I didn't leave you for MY SAKE?! I did that for you! Why can't you just understand?! Are you happy hearing all these now? Is this enough for you to stop?!"

"I'm sorry.. But I don't know what you're talking about. "I heard him said.
oh please...

"Come on! Isn't getting me confessed your true motive here? Now that you already know that I lost because I was the one who can't move on, Can you just leave now?! You've won! Now please leave me alone. " I told him and faced the sink again to continue what I was doing.

My heart hurts so much. It felt like it's about to pop! Ican't find my strength. I can't even get a good grip on the plate I was holding.

Can't I just have a simple life?

Don't I deserve that?

I felt a pair of arm wrapped around my waist.

"Finally... "He whispered. I stiffened.

"Right when I was feeling like giving up, you finally said it. "He added. I can't
really move nor response properly.

"What are you talki---"

"I love you, Venice.
I never stopped loving you. "My knees melted that instant.

He... What?! Wait is he crying? Why am I hearing him sobbing? I faced him.

"Why are you even crying? Don't over do your tricks, Mister. I'm not gonna buy it. Just leave." I told him but he just hug me again. He buried his face on my neck.

"I don't care if you don't believe me. You still love me and we still love each other, that's all that matters to me. "He said. The pain in my chest suddenly disappeared upon hearing that.

"I was a fool to make you think that I'll never be happy with you, that you weren't enough. Everyday, I am happy just by being near you. You're my happiness, Venice. The moment you walked out of my life was the moment I realized that I didn't really know what happiness really is. "

"When you left me, everything that's keeping me up we're gone but now that I have you, I'll promise I will never make the same mistake again. "

In just a snapped he managed to altered the pain I was feeling. My eyes were flooded by tears again..

I keep telling myself not to believe him. That this is just one of his silly tricks.

He still loves me too? But how---
There we're alot of questions in my mind right now.

He slowly let go of me. He was smiling with those cute puffy eyes as he wiped my cheeks.

"Will you marry me, Venice?" That made my heart skipped a bit. I wasn't expect that.

I don't want to believe him but my heart just feel so happy hearing those words..

"Even if your answer's No, you still don't have any choice but to say Yes. I burned the annulment papers you know. "He said that just like that.

He burnt the annulment papers?!!!!
"Why did you do tha---"

"I talked with you're grandpa. He told me things that made me realize that we really need to sort things out. "He smiled at me. I can't believe this.

"What?! When---how?!! "

"Oh well, If you don't wanna answer it's fine. I can plan the wedding all by myself. You can't run from me either even if you wanted too. You're grandpa really liked me now so it's either you'll walk to the aisle and marry me again or just stay like this and remain being married to me. You're choice."
That made me shut the hell up.

What had he been doing all these time?

He held both of my cheeks and gave me a smile.

"I just can't believe you still love me. I'm so happy, Venice. "after he said that he gave me a very tight hug.

"I can't wait to tell the kids about this. "He let me go and he looked like he was about to go and tell the kids.

I closed my eyes. What if... What if he's not really sure about this? What if he'll get tired of understanding me in the future? What if he suddenly realized that I am-----

But love is all about gambling.

One thing about it is that..

You'll never know if you'll win if you don't risk taking a bet.

I took a deep breath.

"Wait!" He turned around.
"Yes, wifey? Have you made up you're mind? "He playfully asked.

"How about Sabrina? "I asked. His smile was so annoying. I'm telling you all.

"You look really cute when you're jealous but wifey, Sabrina's my first cousin. "He winked at me before he ran upstairs to call the kids leaving me in a full shocked state.

Cou.... Cousin?!!!!
Did I just mistook his cousin as his Girlfriend?!
