1 Week Later:-
After trying my best to get a normal conversation out of her, it all ended up in vain.
Our talk may start with random things but end with her mock. I am trying to get to know her and after sharing a few conversations with her.
I came to know that her way of talking is very tricky. She spoke deeply and understood it was beyond my capabilities most of the time.
Her words held profound meanings, which are similar to a riddle.
Maybe I should tell her straightforwardly that I want to know her and want to give our relationship a chance.
“I get it, we cannot love each other but we can at least live our lives on good terms for whatever time we have left.” I muttered, shaking my head.
I sighed deeply, I don't know why but I bought a set of black bangles for her. They were simple but I thought they would suit her well.
She never wears any jewelry except the wedding ring so I thought they would accompany her empty hands well.
I came home early today. I smiled as I climbed the stairs and was about to enter our room, “Rebe-”
The moment I held the door knob I heard her talking,
"What do you want, Jayden?" ‘She has friends too?’ I have heard she has no friends because of her behavior.
"What do you want me to tell you?" Her voice was sorrowful yet stressed. ‘Is she having a problem with her friend?’
I know I shouldn't have listened to her talks but I couldn't help it
“Rebecca?” I called and was about to open the door to help her but heard an unwanted sentence.
"Yeah, I said that I wanted you to take me away. I wanted to run away right at the altar with you. I wanted to."
What? You gotta be kidding me? She may be cold and hateful towards me but.. She cannot cheat on me.
"Please stop it Jayden. You are making this harder for both of us. Everything has changed." She was on the verge of crying.
My heart stopped as I stood there stunned while emitting deep breaths as tears pricked in my eyes.
I felt like my heart was bleeding. Please, no…
"YES I LOVED YOU! HAPPY NOW?! DON'T CALL ME EVER AGAIN!"
Upon hearing that I felt like my energy was being deprived of me. My heart broke into a million pieces as I lost my ability to think.
I felt like my soul was on fire as I felt utterly heartbroken.
Why does it hurt so much when we have nothing to hold on to?
I swallowed hard as I opened the door and entered. She was crying, her cries were concealed by her hand over her mouth.
“Rebecca?” Maybe I should talk to her, maybe that guy is blackmailing her, she can't cheat. No, she can't.
Her back was facing me as a lot of notes were spread upon the bed.
"Rebecca." I called her in a more stable voice to gain her attention.
Her breath hitched as she didn't dare to move. She instantly stopped crying and wiped her tears. I can see her trembling.
“M-Mr Knight?”
I walked closer to bed and spared a glance at the notes. My heart pounds faster in horror of not knowing something unbearable for me.
“W-What-” She hesitantly turned to me and looked at me with her watery gaze. I picked a note and read it.
'You have my heart.' My lips began to quiver as I threw it back and picked another one,
'I am bending my knees at the doorstep of your heart, open the door please.'
And I felt like my world was no more. WHY!?
“Beautiful.” I whispered in a broken voice.
Tears blurred my vision and I was left with no courage to read another one.
I inhaled deeply and took a step back. I put my hand over my face as I let out a laugh of misery.
“Mr Knight, please-”
But, I continued to laugh. I lost control over my senses as I laughed scornfully and removed my hand while tears I was holding streamed down.
"Did both of you sisters love breaking my heart that much?" I asked in a whisper.
I ran my hand in my hair as I felt my heart had been pricked by a needle.
“Is my heart a toy for you sister to neglect me?” I asked, losing my breath.
"What wrong did I do to you that you guys are tormenting me that much?!" I cried, raising my voice, startling her.
“Why do you always target my emotions!?”
"That's not it." Rebecca tried to reason and took a step toward me but I lost my ability to think as I shouted.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" She squeaked and shut her eyes.
The feeling of grief filled me up as I felt betrayed again.
I walked to her and held her shoulder and asked desperately.
"Why Rebecca?! Why me?! What sins have I committed that you are doing this to me?" She lowered her head as I felt my wrath bursting out of me.
I leaned in close to her face and whispered in an angry voice, "You know what? for a second, I.. I thought that we.. We.."
I couldn't find words. To show my devastation.
“For a bare heartbeat, I wanted to hold your hand… to help you.. To be the support you never had but..” I scowled at her while gripping her arms harshly.
“When you loved someone else then why did you destroy my life?!" She didn't open her eyes and remained silent as tears also rolled down her cheeks.
“When he was ready to take you then why did you come to me!? Why did you raze us when you already had a lover!?” My voice lost composure.
I was trembling in anger, sadness and betrayal. My heart, my feelings, everything hurts. I felt like I was burned to ashes and there's no one to save me from it.
“Please…” She whispered, sniffling to not cry.
I looked at Rebecca as tears uncontrollably fell from my eyes. With my quivering lips as I looked at her in detest.
"You have proven that nothing but hate is present between us."
I growled and pushed her away as I left with this ravage in my mind.
