Bitter Sweet

Chapter 24

Tay's POV

I decided to talk to Erin, but she avoid me whenever I'm close to her. This is so frustrating. Now or never, i need to clear this matter with her. I tried to be brave to knock her door. She open in a few seconds and she was shocked to saw me in front of her room.

'Erin, let's talk'
She sighed 'what do you want Tay? It's late' she immediately trying to close the door but I hold it and sneaking to her room.

'wtf Tay, get out' she was furious
'No, until we talk' i try to persuade and calm her down. 'Fine, talk' I guess she think it's no use to fight anymore.

'I think you need to know the truth' i took a deep breath and she looked at me with serious expression. 'What truth?' she asked.

Flashback

I just got back from buying foods for Jess and me. I heard she talking to someone on the phone. I'm not a busy body person but Im curious with who she talked to.

'you gotta believed what I've done to Erin' I winced when I heard Erin's name and from the moment I need to record the whole conversation as a proof.

'I made Tay divorced her and now Tay is mine again' she continued 'I took abort meds but just a little amount to make sure my plan is working out, then during the lunch with her, i experienced stomachache and I knew the meds is working' she laughed.

I became numb hearing all this, Erin is innocent yet I accused her for all of this. I should trust her, believed everything she said but because of Jess, i did something terrible to our marriage. My tears started to form reminiscing the moment Erin signed the divorce papers. I let her go, i broke my promise to her. I heard Jess continued

'This baby is fine babe, don't worry you won't lose this baby, we just need to make sure our plan works. I'll marry Tay and this baby will live in comfortable, luxurious environment. Tay won't know this baby isn't his unless you told him, don't ever' She trying to threatened the person.

So the baby isn't mine. I looked at my phone and it still recording the whole thing. Thank God for the technology these days. Now i have proof to against her.

Back to present

I looked Erin and she shows no expression. 'I knew the truth will come out Tay but I didn't expect that the baby isn't yours' she started the conversation after i explained everything to her. She continued 'thank you for telling me this even though it doesn't change anything now, you should go to room Tay'

'Erin, i want to apologise to you for everything, for not believing you before' I tried to hold her hand but she avoid it. It hurts me when she didn't looked at me.

'i accept your apology Tay but it hurts me when you accused me for something I didn't do. Do you think I'm that cruel to do that?' she asked me with teary eyes. I wiped her tears 'I'm sorry for making you hurts Erin, I really do, I'm sorry for breaking my promises to protect our marriage'

'When did you knew the truth?'
'last 2 years Erin' she look surprised maybe because I didn't told her the truth.

I continued 'there's so many things changed after I knew the truth Erin, I didn't told you earlier because I know I'm the one at fault and I feel embarrassed of my action so I just keep quiet until yesterday I saw you at conference. I feel i need to tell you this since you're here'

Erin just looked at me explaining everything. 'since the truth came out, now we can live our lives without feeling guilty' said Erin.

I nodded and agreed 'Erin, do we have a chance?' she took a deep breath 'I don't think so Tay, remember what I said when I signed divorce papers' she replied.

'but Erin, that time I was influenced by Jess' i tried to begged her to take me back.

'yes Tay i know that, but it doesn't changed the facts that you were accused me and initiated the divorce. You wanted divorce me at the first place Tay. Let us go our way, maybe we just not meant to be and we should accept that'

I cried listening to her and I don't want to believe that we weren't meant to be. I'll fight for her even if it's possible. I loved her and still do. She's the best thing ever happened to me.

'what if I try to pursue you again? Will you let me?'
'you can try but I'm not promise that I accept you'

I relieved that she gave me a chance to let me pursue her. I will do everything to make her mine again.
She yawning 'go to sleep Tay, it's late'
I smiled 'can i sleep here?' she widen her eyes 'no! You're not my husband anymore, go to your room' i laughed at her expression.

'ok good night Erin' i kiss her cheek and she tried to punch me after i kissed her.

Erin's POV

I furious at Tay who kissed me so sudden. To be honest I still love him. That's why I let him to pursue me again. Let's see what Tay will do, I won't give in easily. I want him to suffer a bit. I smirked thinking my plan for him. About the truth, i knew this will come out and I prepare myself for this. Oh my god, i'll meet Bright and Angel tomorrow for lunch and ofc i'll tell them everything.
