CHAPTER 81

IRENE’S POV

Before James had the chance to read through my phone, I promptly picked it up and placed it on my lap, face down.

I silently continue working through his bruises, attending to each wound with equal amounts of attention. I tried to cover up my trembling hand by working even faster.

I had the chance to see who sent the message and to say that I was shocked would be an understatement. Seeing Frank’s number popping up on the face of my phone really struck a nerve.

I thought I have grown past his era, I thought he no longer fazed me anymore but guess I was all deceiving myself, if my shaky hands mean anything.

For some reason which I was so grateful for, James decided it is best to just shut up and end the conversation. We seem to be having a lot of unnecessary arguments lately which I am sure will soon come to an end.

As much as it hurts me to admit, as much as it breaks my heart to even think about it, divorce is the best decision for us now, since not even therapy

    CHAPTER 82JAMESI was livid. The fact that I was out there trying to find a better way of solving our problems while she was already getting rid of me from her life and letting her ex boyfriend into it even while still under the umbrella of my marriage left me fuming.I felt so hurt and almost betrayed that she was hell bent on ending what is between us, not even a second thought, not having a single doubt like we are two strangers and not once in love with each other.I mean at some point I also want a divorce but when I sat down and carefully reasoned through everything, I realized divorce is not the brightest solution out there. I tried to get her to understand but Irene wouldn’t budge. Well now I know the reason why.I furiously stormed out of the house, getting in another different car from the one I was driving earlier, I zoomed off.Because of how riled up I was, I immediately made the choice of reducing my speed to prevent a repeat of earlier. I brought the car to a complete

    CHAPTER 83IRENEHow dare he?I have never seen anyone with so many hypocritical tendencies. There he was, shouting and babbling that I cheated on him just because I was on the phone with my ex. A phone call I didn’t even plan on making.My heart hurts. I felt so betrayed and deceived. Of all the women out there, James decided to cheat with me Addie! Of all people, Addie.I wiped away my tears, watching as the Uber driver navigated through town.“Are you alright madam?” The driver asked, worry laced in his words.I only nodded, smiling forcefully before moving to the extreme end of the car, moving away from his gaze.I knew it, I knew something was up with how they reacted to each other’s presence. I saw how Addie looked at his pictures, I saw how they looked at each other. There was an air of familiarity between them. I knew something was definitely up but I decided to ignore, look where it led me now.This was the nail in the coffin. James has pushed me to the extreme end of the wal

    CHAPTER 84JAMESAs the rays of sunlight gently streamed through the parted curtains of my bedroom window, I blinked multiple times to get my eyes to adapt to the sudden light after being asleep for more than eight hours I guess.I stretched, a content sighed leaving my mouth but I immediately winced in pain at the pounding headache from my hangover. I gently rubbed the side of my head where the pain was worst in order to try and ease it but nothing worked.I looked at the glass cup on my bedside drawer, seeing as it was empty, a low growl left in my mouth cause I had to get up before getting water which I was not planning on.I have lost count of how many bottles I drank last night, I have honestly lost count of how many times I drank since she left a year ago.My attempt at trying to get her out of my mind every single day always backfired and i realized that the easy way out of this is getting wasted, at least I won’t be able to worry myself to death about her or her whereabouts wh

    CHAPTER 85IRENEI was so grateful that the long hours of our productive discussion was about to come to an end. I was honestly beginning to get so bored out of my mind.We have been going in circles for hours on end, re discussing what we have discussed already but I did not interrupt my subordinate neither do I want to come off as filled up with everything to my clients so I watch them go on and on about nothing.I looked from one subordinate to another seeing how they were all so engrossed in whatever they were doing while I just sat at the head of the tall rectangular table containing more than twenty of my business partners while I tried not to let my mind wander off or let my face showcase how bored I was.“No I totally disagree with your opinion, this will only lead us to lose a lot of money and may eventually cause the company so much loss” one of my subordinate exclaimed. I have heard that line more than five times already and seriously the meeting is becoming pointless. I ne

    CHAPTER 86RAINI“Good morning, ma'am,” Amanda greeted as I entered the company.“Good morning,” I replied and continued walking with Amanda behind me. She followed me until we got to my office.“What's in for this morning?” I asked and took my seat, with Amanda standing in front of my desk.“There's a conference meeting by 10:00am,” She replied.“Only that?” I asked and she shook her head. “Why did you stop? Please continue,” I said.“We'll be having a meeting with the manager from Lee enterprises by 12:30pm,” she replied. I stretched out my hand towards her.“Let me have the file, you can-” A beep from my phone interrupted me, I searched through my bag and brought out my phone to check what message had come in. There was a little smile on my face when I saw the sender, it was from Declan.Declan was a guy I had met some time ago, and he had even once asked me out on a date. I was hesitant at first because of the news about me, but it seems Declan didn't care a bit about the news, so

    CHAPTER 87IRENEOne word, I was shocked.For the life of me I cannot fathom why Frank keeps popping up into my life. If he thinks he can just waltz out of nowhere into my life and expect me to embrace him back with eagerness then he really has to think again.Leaving behind James, I have trained myself to leave behind everything in my past life, Frank included. It wasn’t heard but with the help of therapy I was able to achieve that.Now looking at Frank as I sat on my chair, a pen in hand, I wasn’t so sure I had been able to achieve that. He brought with him so many memories I have no idea were still tucked inside of my heart.I remembered the day I saw him last, so far away. I remembered the day he called me while I was at James’s, which led my thought down the path I never wanted to go again, James.I remembered how I left, angry and devastated. That burning anger now replaced with a sort of longing I do not want to ever admit to myself that it is there. Though sometimes, it catche

    CHAPTER 88IRENEIt had to be the most surprising news I had heard In a while, and it was hard to believe it as well.The more I thought about it, the harder it was to believe that he could be facing some down time in his business.It was partly—wholly—the reason I was still standing there In a spot unable to close my mouth, though I would never admit it was good seeing him again but not this way…My hands did what my lips wouldn't do voluntarily, it went up reluctantly and covered my mouth.“That is impossible, this can't be …" I must have been speaking too loudly because Amanda entered the room with the cacophony of the busy staff following her.I shifted under the weight of her gaze. For obvious reasons, I hadn’t heard that she was in there with me till I heard her sound from beside where I was standing.When I realized this and the fact that she had seen the look on my face I looked away sadly.I wasn’t going to display how disrupted I was to my Personal assistant.I was quiet and

    CHAPTER 89JAMESI was just getting back to myself, and had been out of social media of late. Today seemed like one of those days I would want to be alone, so as I sat by the window in my office I listened to music just as music played into my ears.Condensation dripped down the window, and if not for how heavy my thoughts were I would have taken the time to cherish how beautiful the day was, starting from the glint in the bright sunlight to the rainbow.It was a hot afternoon, but a soft wind moved through the room in a manner that was soothing.I still thought about her, though every thought that came from my heart was in tiny bits.The chairs were soft and let myself enjoy the comfort, something that I had not been able to do for weeks.Times like this was when I was most comfortable having my quiet time, as staying at home in that space I shared with her was like murdering my heart.However, it didn't seem like everyone shared that opinion,not after Addie had sent out the pictur

    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

    CHAPTER 127JAMESI looked around and the sight of everyone cheering all in my name was so disgusting to me, especially since I didn’t want any of this to begin with.Everyone who walked past me would wave at me but Ignored most of them anyway as I was trying my best not to flare up because I was very upset.My sister noticed this from across the room and our eyes met, I looked away but I knew she was still going to come over anyways.She smiled at me and walked gently approaching me.“Why aren’t you putting on a smile? 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
