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

Chapter 15

Unknown P.O.V

I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe I'm this close to him, after all this time hiding in the shadows, I can finally show myself, Marcus and I can finally be together.

What I can't believe is that after the years of planning my return into his life, she shows up but I won't let it get to me too much. She's just an obstacle, but I will soon get rid of her soon enough

Rebecca Parker doesn't know what she got herself into, she forced herself into my love but I will soon rid him from her

Marcus P.O.V

I sat there frozen, what did she just say, what as got into her

"Are you feeling okay?" I asked, this was not like her at all.

"Yes....i....am feeling okay, why would you ask that "

"You're just acting weird and asking a weird question "

"Oh yes, what was I thinking, just forget I asked that, " she said awkwardly, clearly embarrassed.

She started to walk away. I thought back to what she said, have I ever thought about our relationship being real, maybe but I didn't think she would agree, it would make our lives easier and it can also make things weird between us if things doesn't work out but it might be worth the risk, Rebecca is worth any risk.

"Rebecca"

"Yes Marcus "

"Yes, I have thought of making our relationship real "

"Oh" she looked shocked

" Why don't we make it real, there's how harm in trying "

"No there isn't "

"So is that a yes "

"Yes it is," she said smiling slightly before she walks away.

I don't know why but making Rebecca happy makes me happy.  That has never happened, when Octavia and I were dating, I never took pleasure in your happiness. Is that bad?         

As I start to think about Octavia, I remember the kiss we shared again when I went to dinner with her while Rebecca was at dinner with her sister.  I felt so guilty afterward, I knew it was wrong but I can't seem to resist her. Octavia still has this hold on me and I can't seem to shake it. I'm so confused, I still love Octavia but I'm starting to catch feelings for Rebecca.  What should I do? 

How I wished love was like a business deal, I am so good at landing business deals but trash when it comes to my love life. I'm such a horrible husband, I cheated on my wife twice, it might not have been real at the start but its real now. Should I tell her? No, what am I thinking, I can't tell her? What I should do is to end whatever is happening between Octavia and I before it turn it something I can't come back from. 

I sigh and made my way to the garage and went to work, I have a lot of work to do then I will be going over to the oil company. 

The first quarter of my day went by peacefully but then when mid-day approached Octavia visited .  Even though I didn't want her here; I did want her here so that I could set the record straight.

When she entered the office, she didn't even knock or notify my assistant she was coming in. She walked in like she owned the place and that made me angry.

You give them an inch and they take a mile.

"What are doing barging into my office "

"I'm here to see you baby" shit, I already made it go on for too long and now she's calling me baby

"I'll appreciate it if you don't call me that and don't you ever dare barge into my office again, this is a place of business and somewhere you don't belong "

"What are you saying?" She asked her hands folded across her chest

"Octavia I let this go on for way too long even though I knew it was wrong from the beginning"

"It's not wrong we love each other "

"I'm married "

"A loveless marriage "

"Well that's what I signed up for and I'm gonna stick by it and even if it's now of your business, Rebecca and I have decided to make our marriage real"

"What"

"You heard me "

"So you're just gonna discarded me "

"You really think that I would have left my wife because of you and after all you did to me in the past "

"So this was all for revenge "

"Yes" it wasn't but if that's what I have to tell her to get out of my life so be it .

"You're a monster "

"And you were the one who made me one," I said coldly

"If I was you I would take whatever dignity I had left and leave " and with that, she exited my office.

I'm glad that's over
