CHAPTER 40IRENEIn a way I would have thought I would have gotten James Fraser figured out by now but that had proven to be far from the case.With the vulnerability that shone in his beautiful eyes, in a way that gives you a glimpse of her soul till it lures you in only to find out it all facades shows why I was still trying to get him figured out.The truth was it all made me want to know everything about him—But that was the problem, he always locked too much away.That was the reason I had not called him at first, cause there was this fear of what happens if he can't or wouldn't pick up as this was a fucking emergency at least that was what it looks like.He was the last person I could have called, who else? Than the self acclaimed savior of women in distress our very own James Fraser.I had seen the look—The one he had given me while we were at it the previous night and while I would have hoped he showed something totally different, he didn't.I guess after all that was wha

CHAPTER 41JAME'S POVI didn't know what happened at all panic rose within me as I picked up my suit and rushed out of my office without a second thought about what I was doing at all."Sir everything okay?" I didn't even see who asked me as I rushed towards the elevator looking at my watch."Cancel all my meetings for this afternoon. I have something very urgent and important to deal with." I called out as the elevator door opened and I stepped in.I drove out of the company's car park like a mad dog and I tapped my y fingers against the steering wheel as I drove off."Sir James, there's a traffic delay on this route you've decided to go back to the mansion." A voice said from the car speaker and I put in my earbuds immediately. I needed to get to Irene as fast as I could. I don't know if something bad happened to her but I don't know why I am acting like this."Tell the road security to clear the path for me immediately. I want to be in my mansion in less than five minutes." I ordere

CHAPTER 42IRENE'S POVI was dealing with a confused man and it was obvious to know that.In a way I still felt dizzy from everything, it was hard to explain but the feeling was right there for me as I was trying to decipher it.In a way, I was trying everything I could to try to unravel how in the hell Frank Parker got to know this place.I could not bear the thought that he had been trailing me all this while, even more, that he had the effrontery of coming up—Taking the lift to the penthouse.With all the thought I couldn't help but imagine what would happen if James saw him in the room or walking out from where we are.The thought of everything filled my mind as I turned my face to the other side and found James as he leaned back in his chair with his jacket unbuttoned looking into his laptop.I knew him better to know he had switched his mood again, I’d seen the look in his eyes and the way his hands were on his jaw scratching his beard. like he was angry and amused at the same

CHAPTER 43JAMES POVTrying to love her was like getting your heart into a merry-go-round.I watched her as she swayed, walking away from where I was, it was obvious she was hiding something.A part of me wanted to believe it was just a part of her mind playing tricks on what looked to her conscience.Or what else could explain the fact that she couldn't just stand in here and defend herself?In annoyance at the entire situation, my eyes had narrowed slightly looking out of the window to the night.I couldn't help but imagine the fact that I had left in the middle of dinner to race down here.It showed a lot of things I wouldn't want to admit to myself, it showed vulnerability.In the state I was still fighting within myself to love her, it showed that at the end of it all, I could as well have a bit of feeling for her.That was what glaringly occurred— You see it must have looked like an accident everything that happened but still, at the same time there was one question at the back

CHAPTER 44IRENE'S POVHow louder could my heart shatter more than this?"I still love you James," a voice boomed from the speaker connected to James's phone. I couldn't believe my ears, what was happening?I pinched myself twice hoping to wake up and realize it was just a dream, a terrifying one."I would like to have dinner with you again, maybe then we can finish up what we started," the voice continued and I instinctively recognised it. Addie, his ex."Did we hear the same thing James or am I going deaf. Tell me I'm going deaf," I requested, wanting to hear anything that would pass this off as a lie."Um, Irene I promise I can explain," James replied for lack of better words."James, are you there?" Addie called out.I watched him end the call aggressively, silently cursing beneath him. And that was when it clicked to me that I had no idea what she was referring to. I didn't bother to ask what happened during the dinner and James kept me in the dark."What happened during the dinn

CHAPTER 45IRENE POVIs love vanity?That was the exact question on my mind and there was no way I could answer it, as it was soiling it at the moment filling it with more questions I couldn't quite answer.I was trying all I could to show this aspect of myself to him but still, it was coming back to me as not being reciprocated.I couldn't quite understand why it was that way with men like him—Or rather, let me rephrase and say proud men like himself.I had met with them all my life and just when I was thinking I was done facing those men he popped in at that moment, and how he did this was quite confusing.One moment he was all loving, giving me the best sex I ever had and the next moment he was all acting as though he was a different man.In spiteDespiteing, and despite the voice of the woman that was still filling my mind I couldn't bring myself to despise him.Maybe it was for selfish reasons, but my heart still decided to grow twice its size despite how fast I could feel it grow

CHAPTER 46IRENE'S POVI sat in the middle of the bed looking like a dejected bird whose mother had left her behind.My hair was a mess, not a hot mess, but a total one. My cheeks were stained with fallen mascara from my eyelashes and excessive tears. I looked perfect for a scary halloween statue, I bet I could make a kid faint with my appearance.I couldn't tell which feeling was greater. The joy of my rebellion or the anger and sadness at realising that James had actually just watched me scream my head off. He seemed bothered by my actions, but not as bothered as I thought he would be and that was disheartening.If James was still James, he would probably come knocking. Seeking to talk to me and make things right. A part of me wanted that, but the other part was still too angry about everything. How dare he do that to me?I got up from the bed, pulling up the extremely long gown that was threatening to make me trip. I sulked and dragged my feet all the way to the door. After locking

CHAPTER 47JAMES POVWarm air brushed my skin as the door opened, I was still trying to process every bit of everything that was happening as Irene stomped away, for a moment I stood fixed to the spot I had been unable to move or even say a word as her held a dark storm that was looking to fall and make a torrent if I as little as muttered a word.I stared at her attire—she wore the same clothes she had worn out as she was covered with alcohol.Was that because she had become…a drunkard?I could by no way forget the look she had on her face when she had spoken to me, her expression was equal parts fury, equal parts despair and I felt every bit of it.I opened my mouth, closed it, then waltzed to the bar and pulled out a stool while still running my hands through my hair.I could hear her throwing up and for a minute I thought about going up to check on her but stopped the thought right before it got out of my mind and instead I thought about doing something totally different.She w

CHAPTER 135JAMES.I wouldn't have been this worried if I didn't get her text that looked to be in distress, it was hardly twenty minutes that she walked out when suddenly I got a notification on my phone beeping in an emergency.She had been complaining about having weird calls and texts and it was Marcus' idea that we set the safety app up, so we would be able to track ourselves.I was still on the phone talking to Marcus and telling him about the sudden appearance of my mother when the notification came in.As I made my way down the stairs, as fast as I could an awful squeak cut through theair and somehow settled under my skin.I made my way out and saw that she was nowhere around the garage.My phone beeped again with a live location this time, slowly I could see the red round indicator moving away and hitting the main road.At first I thought she might have been going with my mother to heaven knows where,but looking around I saw her purse laying in the ground. My heart skipped ma

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
