CHAPTER 91

IRENE

I stood in front of the mirror in the toilet, I watched as my hands were unstable as sweat filled my palms. I was anxious as hell.

The most bitter part of the whole feeling I was getting was that the guilt in me was fading, and I could feel inside of me though it wasn't so reflective like my upright image in the mirror.

I leaned my head against the wall, tilted it up, and as I glanced at my watch again on my left hand.

He gave it to me as a gift last year, and thinking back to it— It had become one of my favorites.

I washed my hands under the faucet

promising myself to make restitution for how I had treated him as I made my way out.

The Black and white artwork hung on the walls. The round tables were covered with golden tablecloths as I looked around at the room once again.

There were more people in the room and from the corner of my eyes I could see the woman who had spoken earlier.

The light fixtures were original and expensive, casting the room in a soft, warm gl

    CHAPTER 92IRENEI must have fallen into a deep sleep but in the morning I awoke to find myself alone in bed.I pulled my pillow over my face in a muffled scream when I realized the previous day hadn't been a dream.As matter was far from that, all I thought about at the moment was what he thought of me now, was he going to ever come back after I had acted the fool yesterday night?I could tell that despite the fact there was no love between us , he would certainly reach out to me.The painful aspect of it was I couldn't just let go of everything, no matter how easy it seemed the truth was a bitter pill to swallow.If it had been James, it would have been totally different — It was funny a fact that despite these long years I still thought about him, I still dreamt about him.It was as though we had a certain bond and were bound to it by our souls, it was as though a fact that we belonged together.In a way I could feel that we had forged a mental connection that would growt

    CHAPTER 93IRENEThe one word I could use to describe how I felt is “conflicted” . I am at war with myself, finding it hard to decide if I should do something to help James or just let it be. I am not even sure if I could do anything to help.Right now, I just feel like the whole world is against me. There is James and his troubles which somehow miraculously stick to my mind and then there is Frank who doesn’t want to let me breathe for even a moment.I sighed heavily in frustration, rummaging my hand through my already disheveled hair. I felt like shouting out to the world and getting the weight off my heart.The weight in my heart felt so heavy that I began to find it so hard to inhale air into my lungs. I turned my head to the big round wall clock covering almost a quarter of the wall next to me in my office. It was placed there mostly as decoration than actual time.I began to count down the Roman numerals which were used in place of real numbers on the clock. I could easily just

    CHAPTER 94JAMESHappiness was such a distant word now, I no longer feel like I could portray any type of emotion any longer. Everything seems to be just uninteresting and dull to be. My whole life itself is so doll right now.I loved Irene, I still do and watching her just easily getting out of my life was the worst moment that keeps replaying in my head even after so many years.Normally people would say with time, scars fade but I tell you that is not true. Far from it honestly. Grief is a type of emotion that would never fade from your heart, the least it can do is to die down. You can feel okay now, ready to face the world and then the next minute your emotions are all over the place, rolling over something that had happened ten years ago.The heart is cruel and selfish. It just doesn’t care about whatever it makes you feel, all it wants it’s to be given what it's carved or it keeps putting you through hell.My heart so much craved for Irene. I tried as much as I could to contain

    CHAPTER 95IRENEThere was no way for me to get rid of my thoughts, at least not this way—Not when all I thought about was him.It was funny how he still got a hold of everything that had to do with my past, yet the moments with him were what I couldn't do without both good and bad.Underneath this whole feeling I was having was a need to take revenge on him, I didn't know where the Zeal came from but seeing him in that predicament pointed me out to the fact that I could deal with this my way.My heart pumped harder and harder as I walked through the foyer my way toward the back of the house, in a way I couldn't help but feel a little bit depressed that I was leaving all of this behind.This time next tomorrow I’d be completely on my own— I would be subjected to the same fate I had succumbed to Five years ago only this time, I would be stronger.There would be no mother, no Declan, just memories…And most of all, I would have to face this man that had given me everything over the

    CHAPTER 96JAMESFunny how I could hold on to the past in this manner, I was still having a hell of a time thinking about her yet she had moved on easily at that, I couldn't help but feel vexed at my current predicament.Standing right there at the top of my penthouse I looked around at the vast neighborhood.It was a Shame that all I shared now was memories.The sight of that man, her lover sent shivers through me.I looked back at the bed that had an unclad Addie under the duvet, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully that early morning.As much as I had wanted nothing to do with her after all she had done in the past …It didn't change the fact that everyone was due to make mistakes. It was only a shame that I was her's.At least it was much better than fucking any random girl around I thought to myself as I made my way back to bed.All through the night that I had sex with Addie, one picture came to my mind and it was Irene, she was the last woman I had made over to right here on t

    CHAPTER 97JAMESI appeared to have a whole new idea of cooling off and that of course was taking the car for a spin, it seemed to be the only thing heavy on my mind.My mind was heavy as I drove through the lonely road crazily while making drifts .It was funny the way my heart ran at that same speed, one thing I hated was being shown my flaws and he had done exactly that, he had shown me every bit of my flaws.I finally brought the car to a halt as it was covered in a cocoon of mist and smoke.Breathing heavily, I slammed my hands against the steering wheel, I hated everything.I hated the way this woman made me feel.If I could take back everything, I would most certainly do.I would have loved to take the hands of time and wish that everything was right where it should.The bad thing was the past couldn't be changed, and in doing so my present seemed to be very much influenced.Relief flowed through me temporarily as I made my way back, looking at the gas meter I realized that I ha

    CHAPTER 98JAMESI felt someone tapping me lightly as I opened my eyes and found out I was still at the bar. How embarrassing, we must have had a lot to drink and passed out on the table.My felt light as realization settled into a warm puddle in my stomach.I was only tipsy and at that moment, I could feel my eyes spin.Deep down , I would have exchanged alcohol for water or anything, it all started with me having one cup and then it had graduated into me getting too much in public; I hated myself at that moment, hated the fact that too much drink loosened my tongue, to the point I feared what.I would say or do.As much as I was in a bad state, and admitting that James and alcohol didn’t mix. I was surprised to see that Marcus was far worse.It looked as though he had a world all to himself, and didn't know if he’d ever be able to come out of being this drunk for a long time.I looked around, shielding my eyes from the light as he tapped me again. I was feeling like an idiot at that m

    CHAPTER 99.IRENEThe decision has been made. And although it was a last minute decision, I think it was the best decision I should have made since after I left James.At least when I am able to get my revenge, I will maybe finally rid my heart of that longing feeling that reminds me of its presence with each breath I take.After I told Declan about my plans to which he perfectly agreed on, I called Marcus and informed him about that. Not my plans of course but me coming back to the city. Though I warned him not to let James find out or anyway for whatsoever reason.With the kind of adrenaline running through my veins, I would have left the moment Declan approved of the plan. But then I remembered I have a responsibility which needs to be handled and I can’t just abandon it midway without any logical explanation to my workers.So that night, I spent the time getting my plane ticket and arranging whatever I would need for this journey. After making sure I was not forgetting anything, I

    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
