CHAPTER 101

IRENE.

My heart fluttered so fast it couldn’t be healthy. I had no idea why he should have so much effect on me after so long, at first I thought I had not heard the words quite clearly but playing it again, I realized that It was plain as day.

I didn't want to say Declan was right when he said I had feelings for James because he was right.

This interaction wasn’t doing anything to prove I wasn’t who I thought he was all along, however at the same time I had not expected that he would wait for five years.

He smoothed an absent hand down his tie. “Are you fine?" James asked.

I breathed.

The Truth was I didn't know how to react to all of this …

I could feel my hands trembling even as

his eyes fell to my lips.

"Are you fine?" He asked again.

This time his words were deep and soft,

and a strange part of me felt like I’d done something bad by staying too long to answer.

My breaths turned shallow when he moved to walk past me but stopped by my side for a bottle of water.

    CHAPTER 102JAMESThis felt like one of those moments, it was like there was a pause in time between my soul and everything that was happening.It felt like that point in time when Sometimes words will only clutter a space already filled with an unpleasant bitter truth.I felt everything in a rush, the pain, the heartbreak, everything…I sat next to my Marcus on the stool while we both numbly watched everything unfold.He had a look on his face as if to say…I told you so.The funny moments that were filled with the heavy pacing of my heart, Irene had passed without even a smile, it looked as though we were never lovers.I had taken a bottle of wine and a cigarette and walked back outside, I had it in mind that I wont make an appearance till everything was done and dusted and the show was over.From time to time , I gave vague statements to the guest that walked out to get some air—I didn't want to geton why I was outside, so I was quick to change to a side of the building.It was h

    CHAPTER 103IRENEI stood right there in front of the door shocked, he was the last person I was expecting to see —Actually he was just the person I was thinking about.Something amused and dangerous played in his gaze.Was it a smile, or a smirk…I couldn't make out the expression he had on his face, all I felt around me was the silence-My heartbeats collided with a crash as if felt heavy inside of me."Irene."He said my name the same way and I could feel the impact it still had.Why had my name rolled off histongue that way ?Why had his name had so much impact on me?I blinked through my apprehension. This looked like a very weird dream.That is what it was —Not even his glare could convince me less…It looked as though this man had found out my weakness and was now playing with me.All I felt at that moment was the Frustration as it clawed at my chest. I couldn’t very well go and make this situation worse by acting up, if there was anything I had to know it was most certainly w

    CHAPTER 105IRENE.It took a lot for me to stand there at the doorway , all night I battled within myself .It was easy to say that he was there on purpose, I had seen the look in his eyes enough to make me come to the conclusion, there was a drastic change in the atmosphere of the whole apartment …I walked back to my room after letting him in and all I thought about was his face and the gesture he had made that night.It must have really meant a lot to him coming down from his high horse to speak to me, at that moment all I wanted to do was hear him out . I felt the need to.When the maid walked back in and stated that she had given him the towel, I nodded slightly and leaned back, resting my forearms on the sofa where I was.It still breezed in with the icily cold wind from time to time and all I wondered was how he was able to pull it off standing under the cold rain —It was crazy really, crazy!“Is everything okay, Ma'am?” The maid asked, it was only then that I realized that I h

    CHAPTER 106IRENEI looked like I was about to make a mistake but this mistake looked like one I wouldn't mind making over and over again.He wasn't relenting, I had walked right into something I should have ran away from and he was looking to take full advantage of the whole situation.At the back of mind. was the heavy thought of what was about.This doesn't seem right, he is your ex…Every synapses in my brain no was screaming out but at that moment I was filled with lust .I ran my hands underneath the robe he had been wearing and the sound of the moab that escaped from his lips in pleasure sent a seductive echo through the room and a shudder through my nerves.He was leaning on the table now, he rested his elbow on the edge and watched me through his eyes that were well relaxed.I hesitated. I knew I couldn’t do this with perfection— It was wrong, he was with another woman all my common sense was screaming!The hell I could.He certainly knew what he was doing by coming to my

    CHAPTER 107JAMESIt was all done and what filled me after then was how we are going to react to the fact that we just had unprotected sex.Not that I regretted it, as a matter of fact I enjoyed every moment of the sex we hadthe truth was I wanted more of it as I had never desired anyone the way I desired her after all these long years.By this time I was very much wide awake, I could sense every bit of the nerves in me being lifted up with all my synapses still firing.Turning on the bed and seeing her still asleep like a baby, I looked at her for minute wondering how beautiful she had remained despite the years.Throwing the covers back, I slid out of bed and dragged my feet out of the room.The room still had the scent of sex and the alcohol in my sweat—It was obvious what was going to happen during the day's break and I wasn't in the mood to let her do it to me the second time.It was obvious all this that happened was a mistake and the better I saved her the pressure of having

    CHAPTER 108JAMESCaught unaware and filled with anxiety, I stopped at that moment and looked round to see her face looking at me.For a minute I regretted the fact I had been lured by her, it had just been a moment of pleasure after being angry yet it had left me with so many regrets.At that moment I wished I could take back the hands of time, if only I could do that,It would have been the most beautiful thing.Running a hand across the last bit of edge in the Staircase I thought carefully what my answer would be.I could hear her footsteps as she made her way down towards where I was, suddenly feeling closer to her."You left here last night, why are you only coming back now?"The question was heavy in my heart when I thought about it, I couldn't think of any definite answer to give to her at the moment.Peering back into her eyes, I could see the deep concern that was deep down in it.She had been worried yet there wasn't any bit of remorse in mine as all I did waslickmy lips.A

    CHAPTER 134JAMESIt was still hard for me to believe everything that was happening, well that doesn't matter. I was prepared to make sure she spent the rest of her years behind bars for how she acted out toward me.I couldn't believe that I had been dragged into all of this and was naive all along.It was only two months since I got out of my accident and things had been almost perfect between us.It looked as though we've come to a mutual understanding in fixing anything that was going on between us.We just had to fight it — We just had to fight the fact that we were two people not willing to give into admitting flaws.It was hard to ignore her. Whenever she was near, an invisible string pulled me toward her in a way that we couldn't resist. Gradually we were building back what looked to be broken. It was the only sane thing at that moment as it was impossible for us to just get ourselves back immediately.The feel of having do close left a vibrating feeling behind with the promis

    CHAPTER 133JAMESThe first thing I noticed when I fluttered my eyes open was the fact that I was in an empty room which I did not seem to recognise. I winced at the harsh light coming through the window and instantly closed my eyes back up.For some reason I couldn’t turn my head an inch. Even the thought of doing that made me wince in pain. A frustrated grumble escaped my throat at the fact that I was clearly clueless and oblivious of my surroundings and there was nothing I could do to change that except to wait for aid which didn't seem to be coming.Judging by the stiffness of the bed I laid on and the feeling of Iv on my hand, I came to the conclusion that I was in a hospital bed. If that didn’t confirm it then the terrible headache I was having and the pain I felt all over my body definitely did.“For how many hours have I been laying down here” I wondered in silence. Giving up on all attempts to get myself up and waiting for anyone to walk into the room. Judging by the light co

    CHAPTER 132IRENEThere was just one wish in my heart and at the tip of my tongue. That all these was a dream and I will wake up back in my apartment but I knew it wasn’t. This was real, this was my reality and I will have to face it no matter how cruel it might seem.I sighed for the umpteenth time watching as the nurses did their job. I had been sitting here for the past hours, waiting for some form of miracle to happen and James to wake up, I just refused to let the fact that he was going to die into my heart. I just refused to agree that I am going to lose him forever.“No! Absolutely not!” I chanted to myself, shaking my head vigorously in the process. James is strong, he is going to survive this. There is no way in hell he was going to die after all he had gone through. It just wasn’t meant to be like this. James is not supposed to die. NoI stared down at his face, his calm and peaceful face and I realized just how much I missed him. How much I missed looking into his eyes and

    CHAPTER 131IRENEMarcus stared at me intensely from his side of the table, swirling his spoon around the plate of food in front of him. His gaze seemed to be directed at me but in reality he was deep in thought with his hand supporting his chin.I was still a bit sick but it was not as severe as it used to be so I had no trouble just sitting down and watching him think, waiting for him to spit out whatever was taking up most of our time together.After a long moment of silence, he sighed heavily, dropping the spoon from his hand and turning to face me completely now. “Irene?” He called.I did not honor that with a reply, instead I just looked at him to tell him I was present and listening to whatever he had to say.“How are you doing?” He inquired. It might sound like it was just a normal question but I could feel all the underlying questions from just looking into his eyes. The unspoken question was actually “how are you dealing with everything? How is your sanity now that James is

    CHAPTER 130IRENE“I’m tired of everything, I want James back and I can’t leave without him and I feel like I’m dying.” I said almost choking on my own tears.Marcus was so comforting as he was quiet as he let me rant all I want in his embrace. It’s been so long since I had someone to hug like this and now that I got someone I didn’t want to let go.“I want him back, I can’t let Addie have him forever because I won’t be able to live without him.” I said crying deeply as gently wiped off the tears from my eyes.I finally released myself from my self bondage grip and it was then I remembered the blood of Marcus' body.He looked at me worriedly which made me shiver as I had a very unusual feeling inside of me.“W…what happened to you? Why are you covered up in blood?” I asked, looking at his hands which were covered in blood. His white shirt was also covered in blood but I couldn’t spot any injury on his body.“It’s not me, something happened to.” He said calmly holding my two hands like

    CHAPTER 129IRENEI felt like screaming my lungs out to ease the intense pain I was currently feeling in my head but looking at it logically, screaming might only increase the pain so I refrained from doing so.Instead, I squirted my eyes to reduce the amount of light entering into it which in some weird way is only adding to my pain. My heart kept pounding in a way it had never done before, at least not when I am fine.I clutched onto my duvet for dear life, still shivering and gritting my teeth despite the fact that I was under layers of bed coverings. My throat felt so dry and the thought of passing anything through it at the moment made me gagged, but considering the fact that I had vomited more than I could count during this short period nothing came out but air.Overall I felt terrible and after a long moment of denial and thinking it was probably stress which would be gone if I just rested, I finally reached the conclusion that I was sick and I would need to see a doctor in or

    CHAPTER 128IRENEI looked around lazily and picked up my phone to check the time. It was already evening and I groaned wishing I woke up the next morning.Now I had to Dave the burden of actually being in this life which was enough of a burden on its own. Everyday I wished it was the next because I wanted to get over everything.By now James would have been engaged and my heart ached as I thought about it. I sniffled hard because I didn’t want to start crying again.The love of my life was getting engaged to someone and it wasn’t me, he was the only one I wanted and now he belonged to someone else and there was nothing I could do.It became hard for me to stop myself from crying so I undressed and went into the shower.I turned on the warm water and gently scrubbed my body like there was no life left in me again.Everything felt so slow and I felt there was no use for anything again, it was all useless now.I got out of the shower and got dressed into a big top and walked out of the

It’s your happy day. You should be happier than anyone here.” My sister said gently patting my suit like she was about to dust something off it.I looked around the crowd in the area and now the whole hall was jeering with noises from each corner of the hall.“When is this going to end?” I scoffed with a big frown pasted on my face.I didn’t even care about all of these arrangements and all the guests here because I was not happy with any of it.“Look over at your beau
