After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 11

Marcus P.O.V

"Octavia" I forced out, I was so shocked that I think I lost the ability to move and speak. It's been ten years since I've seen her and she still looks as gorgeous as ever, a small part of me wishes she wasn't so beautiful. But no, Octavia aged gracefully. Her black hair was shorter now, stopping just above her shoulder. Her Emerald eyes still had that sparkle to it. Nothing much changed about her

We stood staring at each other a little bit longer, no one dared to speak, no one addressed the elephant in the room.

"I've missed you," she said sincerely, after a couple of minutes. I stared at her blankly, did she expect me to believe her

"I know that you don't believe me, I know that I've hurt you but I didn't mean to. Marcus, I know what you've heard but it's not true "she said, tears spilled for her eyes, messing up her makeup.

"  I love you, I always have. You knew that I love you, they have always wanted to break us apart and you know they have. They never liked seeing us together, but we promised each other that we would never let them break us apart. " she started to walk towards me

"You promised that no matter what they say or do, that you would never give up on me, on us "

"I know that the video looked bad but you know my father, you know how power-hungry he is. He forced me, he forced me to do it. But it didn't change how I feel and, the thought that I  betrayed you, it hurts " more tears and now she was in front of me

What am I supposed to believe, I'm so confused. Why did she have to come now, it's been ten years why haven't she moved on

Why haven't you moved on? A voice inside me asks. Why haven't I moved on, she betrayed my trust, she hurt me but I still love her. I've had so many chances to let go and move on but I didn't. I have a chance right now to let go and move on with Rebecca. Rebecca, why did her name come up first. Why was she the first one that came to mind? I need to stop thinking of her, I'm too damaged to make her happy

I was so distracted with my thoughts that I didn't notice that Octavia was kissing me. I felt like old times, my heart started to race. I put my hands at the side of her face as ai deepen the kiss. After a few minutes, I remembered what I was doing, who I was kissing, and that I had a wife. I gently pushed Octavia away

"You need to go "

"Please, I- "

"Now" I shouted, she stood there shocked for a couple of minutes before she left.

I sat in my seat, head in hand wondering how stupid I am, how weak I am. I let her kiss me and I kissed her back. I combed my hands through my hair, stopping to tug on the ends.

After what she did I still ket her in, I still craved her. I'm so stupid.

I bury myself in paperwork trying to forget the events of today, we'll some of the events, I wouldn't want to forget the hug and smile that Rebecca gave me. Not again, why do I keep thinking about her?

I sighed frustrated, I looked at the time to see that it was 10 pm. I should go to the club and drink.

I went to the bar nearest to my office and to my surprise it was the same one I went to as last time and I couldn't stop myself from wishing she'll be there and if God has answered my prayers, she was and was dressed in another red dress. She was so enchanting, I tried to get to her but like last time I lost her.

I went to the bar the escape my troubles but it only seems to have more, because now not only did I have Rebecca and Octavia on my mind but the mystery lady in red too.
