Chapter 60From airport, Rowan and I take one of his fancy cars to his hotel. I've always known we had a branch in Paris but I've never actually been here before.I have to say, it's really nice. Slightly nicer than some of the hotels we have back in New York. Rowan and I walk into the hotel hand in hand. The workers upon seeing him from the lobby straighten their backs.He doesn't bother walking up to the front desk to ask for a room and he just leads us around like he owns the place. He does own the place but could he act more subtle about it. It's kind of freaking me out.I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened in the plane. It's been a while since I've seen Rowan in action. Threatening people all over the place. It brought back memories.Cruel, cold memories.We take an elevator to the highest floor and Rowan seems giddy, jittering all over the place like he can't help himself. It's cute how he's doing this. When the elevator stops, he places a chaste kiss on my fore
Chapter 61-INDIGO-"Who is that?""Is it Rowan? Is he naked? Tell me?"I ignore both Matilda and Henry's ridiculous questions as I trudge over to the door. I look through the peephole to see some guy with a box.I shrug, then open the door. The guy beams up immediately like it's an automated response. "Hi, I'm Gary. I was told to escort you to the afternoon buffet downstairs by a certain Rowan Grey." The guy chirps.I stare at him warily. "Are you sure?" I ask and he nods."He said, and I quote 'If you don't get my wife down on time for what I have planned, I'm going to destroy you.' Word for word." The man says as he cringes a bit and I cock my head to one side.That does sound exactly like what Rowan would say. I stare at the guy then I stare at my phone. Matilda and Henry look at me like they're expecting some grand gesture from me. They probably heard what this Gary guy said."Indigo, you should totally go. Make sure you keep on us the loop this time. I do not want to kiss whatev
Chapter 62My brain tries to come up with explanations, theories, excuses but none of them are making sense. The only thing that makes perfect sense right now are the tears that are falling from my eyes, clouding my entire vision."I know. It's really sad isn't it? Makes you wonder why he didn't tell you all this while. If it was just a simple accident, why didn't he tell you? Why did he keep the truth away from you?" Charlotte taunts and at this point, I take her words as gospel.Rowan didn't tell me the truth. He lied and then pretended. He knew. He sat with me and my brother in the hospital and he fucking lied. I run my hands through my head as I try to think but nothing seems to making sense anymore.Did they even make sense before? I don't know. All I know that my so called husband was the one driving the other car that caused my parents accident. I almost choke on the irony."You ruined your family. It wasn't enough for him, he just had to ruin you too. Why do you think he hired
Chapter 63-INDIGO-"I will not be played for a fool any longer." I say in a very deathly tone.Rowan stares at me then stares back at the paper with a lost look in his eyes. Is he trying to act like he's affected by this? I think not."Indigo. You can't honestly think that I was fooling you. I may not have totally honest with you but I never fooled. I'm sorry, just listen to me. I'll explain everything. Please." He pleads with me with a desperate voice but I scoff, crossing my arm over each other."I've already booked a flight. I'm going back to New York and I never want to see your face ever again. I left something for you in the room." I say and turn on my heels before he gets to stop me. I hear him calling my name but I don't look back because I know if I do that, even if it's just a second that I look into his eyes, I might break down and do things that I'm not supposed to.I so I keep rolling my luggage on the floor and running like my life depends on it. I call a cab close by a
Chapter 64-INDIGO-"Do you want ice cream?" Matilda asks and I shake my head, clutching onto my blanket tightly."Should I turn on the tv?" Henry asks and I shake my head."Should we run a bath for you or something?" Everyone of us turn to stare at Jax, he shrugs. I shake my head.I want to be happy. I want everything that's happened within the last two days to be a dream, a nightmare, that I'd just wake up from one morning and let out a sigh of relief. I want to be able to go back to the mansion to prepare breakfast for the person I thought I love.I want to not feel so horrible and betrayed all the time. I want to be able to eat without the good tasting sour and causing me throw up. I want to be able to smile without having to cry afterwards. I just want what I lost.I don't say any of that though. It sounds very pathetic in my head, I don't think I could summon the courage to actually say it out loud. So instead of voicing out of my thoughts and freeing myself. I shake my head and
Chapter 65-INDIGO-Rowan's eyes go dead at my words. Perhaps he was expecting me to listen to what he had to say and continue deluding myself blindly. But I'm not going to do that."You heard her, Rowan. Just go." Matilda points at the door as she speaks. Rowan stares at me, hoping that the last few seconds was just a figment of his imagination and I hadn't truly just told him that I would murder him if he got too close.Sadly, it's not. I harden my expression more and better. When he sees that I'm not budging. He sighs and his face falls. "Believe me, I'm sorry." He says one last time before steering around and walking out of the house.Once I can no longer make out his figure, I let out a choked sob as I fall to the ground, smashing my kneecaps against the cold hard tiles hard. The loud sound seems to pull Matilda's and Jax's attention as they rush to my aid.They try to help me to stand up but I'm totally a mess. I hear myself blubbering and spewing out useless rants. I cry and cr
Chapter 66-ROWAN-Fuck, I can't think straight anymore. Everything is all blurry in my head, my eyes, my everywhere. But I have to attend this meeting.Even if it's just to tell the investors fuck themselves. The cab driver that drove me tontge office kept asking me if I was okay? What the fuck is that question all about?Can he see that I'm not fucking okay? I can't even remember the last time that I was okay. Wait, scratch that. I can remember. It was when I was with Indigo. When she was looking at me like I was the most important thing to her in her entire life.I just had to ruin that. When I get down from the cab, I stumble on my tracks. A few people on the streets throw curious glances my way but I ignore them. I don't give a shit about all of that.I choke on a cough as I manage to get through the front door of the building and into the lobby of my company. Everyone freezes as they spot me. It's been a while since I came to the office.Without her it doesn't feel worth it anym
Chapter 67-INDIGO-"Hi, guys." I say to everyone as I step into the kitchen.Matilda, Jax, and Henry are all caught off guard at the sight of me. I mean, I haven't read the room that Jax graciously spared to me since the day Rowan came by.They've been the ones to come checking up on me and all of that. Yep, I've been heavily depressed but last night, I don't know. I had this self discovery thing happen to me during a whack dream I had.I can't keep pining over Rowan my entire life. It's not like I'm the first person in the one who has been lied to, betrayed, and heartbroken, nor am I going to be the last.I'm not going to let a little set back in my love life predict the rest of my entire life. I had a pep talk with myself. Yes, I know it's going to be incredibly hard but I need to move on.Find a new job, a new house, something to love for. Rowan has moved on, he hasn't been back at the house, he hasn't been pining over the place, begging for another chance do why should I be the o
Epilogue-INDIGO-"I feel hot. I don't know why. Do you feel hot as well? Or is it just me?" I rant to Matilda and Henry.Matty places her hands on my bare shoulders to caress me. "Indy, you're hyperventilating right now. Cool it." She says, and I realize that she's right.My chest is heaving up and down in an erratic manner. I feel like my head is about to explode. I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or if it's because of something else entirely.Why am I nervous a person might ask? Well, that's because I'm getting married today. Yep, you heard that right. I'm getting married to Rowan today. Again. We're going to have an official wedding today.It all started last two months after Frederick got arrested. The proceedings for the court were wrapped really quickly because of the confession I had. Charlotte and Frederick got long prison sentences. Rowan and I started to hang out more. Though I didn't return back to the company. Instead, I'm now working for Henry's restaurant with no
Chapter 71-INDIGO-"He might not have proof, but I do." I say as I step into the room, holding up my phone with a sardonic smirk on my face.Frederick pales immediately at the sight of me. "Wh-what are you doing here?" He stumbles on his words.I turn my attention to Rowan and throw him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Rowan. When I saw you with Charlotte, I just totally lost it. I thought- I thought so many things and I needed time to think and reflect."I thought about it so hard. But you never liked Charlotte, did you? Even before you got married to me, you hated sharing meetings with her. I thought about it and found it so hard that you would want to bed her. It all sounded so mixed up to me."I came here today to ask you more questions about it, then I ran into your conversation with this man," I spit out with venom laced in my voice. "I couldn't be sure what was happening, but since I've always known that he's a no-good sleazebag, something in the back of
Chapter 70-ROWAN-Ah, shit. Shit, shit, shit. I've finally done it. I've ruined my life through and through. I take a huge gulp from the champagne bottle in my hand and set it harshly against the bar slab."Fuck." I curse out loud. This is all my fault. If I had just told Indigo the truth when I found out maybe things wouldn't turned out this way.I was so fucking foolish to think that pushing her away was going to help matters in anyway. I didn't think things through that time, and my decisions are now biting me hard in the ass. I wish I was more sensible.I take another huge gulp from the champagne bottle, then groan loudly afterwards. I feel like I'm being ripped apart from the inside. Nothing in my entire life has ever hurt this bad. Absolutely nothing.Heartbreak is the worst pain imaginable. I never thought it was but now that I'm feeling it, I know it is. Indigo hates me now. There's no coming back from that. I bet she's going to move on from me sooner than later, leaving me a
Chapter 69-INDIGO-I can't believe the scene in front of me.Rowan and Charlotte are kissing. I feel like my head and my heart are about to explode. I can't think straight. I'm shivering all over.My exclamation makes them pull apart from each other. Charlotte, who is wearing a thin silky robe, breaks into a sly smile as she notices me. While Rowan, there's guilt all over his expression.So he knows that he's done something bad. This isn't even supposed to be hurting me the way that it is but I can't help myself. I knew him to be a liar and betrayer but not a cheat. Never a cheat.I guess I was wrong about that too.Tears prick the corner of my eyes but I try as much as I can to suck them back in with little to no success.Rowan reaches for me, but I flinch away, not wanting his dirty hands to touch me."Indigo, it's not what it looks like. I can explain." He says in a desperate tone as he pushes Charlotte away and starts to walk towards me.I'm backing away from the door, shaking my
Chapter 68-INDIGO-I don't know why I keep thinking about Joshua's words. It's been two days and still. I still can't get over it."How much he loves you..."Loves me? Rowan doesn't love me. He only Loves himself and his lies so why can't I get it out of my mind? Anyways, since I have no job now, thanks to the lying bastard, I have to start updating my CV to find a better one.Henry offered me a spot in his company but I'm still thinking about it. I don't want to be the girl who divorced a billionaire and now works for said billionaire's best friend. It has an odd ring to it.Though it would be very beneficial. I'd have a friend at work, Henry, and I can bet that his working environment won't be as toxic as Rowan's. Henry is a much nicer person. Or worse comes to worse, I could take up a waiting job at his cool ship restaurant.I think that's even a better odd. I miss that place so much. I hate that my first and only memory of it is tainted with a man named Rowan Grey. My goodness, e
