When A Bully Falls In Love 74
~Aoife~We started our journey towards our destination, navigating through the heavy traffic of San Francisco. Once we reached the highway, I activated the car’s cruise mode, allowing me to relax a bit.I remained quiet, lost in my thoughts, while Xander seemed lost in his world. There was an unspoken tension between us, a storm brewing in our hearts. What was he doing with Amber? And who was that woman who came over for dinner? I turned my head and glared at him with a mixture of anger and frustration, and he smirked as if reading my thoughts.“So, are we going to sit like this for the next three hours?” Xander rolled his eyes, attempting to open the glove compartment.“Don’t touch that,” I snapped. Inside that drawer was Alex’s birth certificate, something I didn’t want anyone to disturb.He raised his hand and backed away, letting out a heavy sigh. “So, what do you want? To talk to you? About what? Your kids?” My tone was laced with sarcasm. I looked ahead, focusing on the road. Be

~Xander~As I held Aoife in my arms, an overwhelming sense of guilt and remorse weighed heavy on me. Seeing her injured and in pain, all because she had rushed to save me, made me realize the depth of her love and selflessness. It was a wake-up call, a piercing reminder of the consequences of my past. At that moment, my perspective shifted. The walls of self-centeredness I had built around myself began to crumble. The pain etched on Aoife’s face mirrored the pain I had inflicted upon her with my thoughtless behavior. I couldn’t deny the truth any longer. I had taken her love for granted, hurt her deeply, and left her scarred, both physically and emotionally.As I gently placed her in the car, my hands trembled with a mix of concern and regret. I made a silent vow to myself that I would do whatever it took to make amends. I would prove to Aoife that I had changed, that I was capable of love and deserving of her forgiveness.Her vulnerability and the weight of her words echoed in my mind

~Xander~I tossed and turned restlessly throughout the entire night, unable to find any sleep. The moments shared with Aoife on this trip stirred up a whirlwind of emotions, keeping my eyes wide open. My heart lingered with her, while all I carried back from her home was an overwhelming sense of restlessness.Anxiety gripped me as I shifted from one side of the bed to the other. It was as if we were both experiencing sleepless nights without each other’s presence. As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, I glanced at the time. It was 6 am. Without hesitation, I reached for my phone and composed a message to Aoife.“I truly hope you’re all right. Please take good care of yourself.”With those few words, I longed to pour out the depths of my emotions for her, yet a flicker of fear held me back. Though I yearned to call her, an inexplicable force kept me from doing so.The burden of maintaining the facade of a good guy had begun to take its toll on me. I had never consid

~Aoife~Sitting at the dinner table, I gazed at the handsome men seated in front of me. Alexander, sitting next to Xander, resembled his father both in looks and actions. They even shared the trait of using their left hands to eat. I marveled at how comfortable Alexander seemed with Xander as if they had known each other their whole lives. After all, Alex was sitting next to his father.“Eat your food,” Gabriel whispered, looking at me as tears threatened to escape my eyes.I nodded and took a sip of water. The sight before me was everything I had ever wanted. A husband who loved me immensely and a loving child. But Xander wasn’t the man. It was me who loved him unconditionally and still did. I had never seen Xander with kids before, but he was behaving like a child with Alex, and it was so adorable.“I need a minute.” I excused myself from the table and went inside to grab my medication.“Excuse me, let me check on her. She needs her medicine,” he explained to the others.“Medicine?”

~Aoife~It was hard for me. Every moment we spent together mattered to me. I entered the house and struggled to compose myself. I couldn’t hold back the tears of pain that welled up inside me upon seeing him in such a state. Gabriel instructed Jing to take Alex into his room. When he looked at me, his expression filled me with a mix of concern.“You did a good job,” he said, trying to offer some solace. I shook my head, burying my face in his chest.“It... it hurts... badly... he...” My voice trailed off, choked by the overwhelming emotions coursing through me.“Aoife, I think he loves you, too. Otherwise, why would he come back?”“I don’t think so. I hate loving unconditionally.” “It’s progress, Aoife. Don’t you see that? You talked and faced him. That’s a step forward. Now, it’s time for some big news,” he continued, arching an eyebrow.“What?” I sniffed and wiped my runny nose.“I’m in love.” “What? And you’re telling me now, you idiot,” I exclaimed, playfully slapping his should

~Aoife~Xander and I arrived at the office building, where he seemed eager to discuss my personal matters.“Can we be friends?” I stopped in my tracks and looked at him, knowing how peculiar this request would sound. But I had to go along with it.“Sure,” I replied, though I was still upset with Alex for his inappropriate question. How could he ask Xander something like that? Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to blame Alex entirely.“Can we go for lunch?” Xander asked, seeking some form of connection.I needed clarification on what he wanted from me. Why did he come last night and ask all those questions? However, I reminded myself that he would be leaving the city in a month.“Xander, I have some work to do, so...” I trailed off, implying that I couldn’t join him for lunch. He understood my response and let it go before he walked towards his new office. I went to meet Brandon, who was waiting for me.“How are you, Aoife? I’m so sorry I couldn’t come to meet you earlier. I got caught up

~Aoife~That evening, while Alex played, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Katherine and Xander’s planned intimate meeting. Restlessness gripped me as I imagined him in her arms, and a surge of anxiety coursed through my veins.“Alex, could you give me my phone?” His concerned gaze met mine as he handed me the device, sensing something was amiss. I managed a forced smile, trying to hide the turmoil churning inside me.What should I do? How could I ask for his address without revealing my true intentions? Fingers trembling with anticipation, I typed a message, hoping to find a way to intervene.“Are you in your hotel room?” I pressed send, my heart pounding in my chest as I fixated on the screen, awaiting his reply.“Yes,” came the response, further fueling my unease.“Great, I need to collect some documents from you. Can I come by?” I typed hurriedly, my fingers betraying my eagerness.Minutes passed, each one feeling like an eternity, as I anxiously waited for Xander’s reply. Impat

~Aoife~It was Alex’s birthday, and my heart overflowed with joy. Morning wishes poured in, and calls from all his friends filled the air. We were preparing for the birthday party, and as I looked at Alex in his black tuxedo and sky-blue shirt, a mirror image of his dad, my heart swelled with love. His brown glossy eyes and thick curls reminded me so much of his father.“You look just like your dad,” I whispered, planting a tender kiss on his cheek as tears welled up in my eyes.“But Mommy, I will never leave you, not even for Ariana,” he reassured me, wrapping his arms around me in a tight embrace.A mix of tears and laughter escaped my lips as I discovered a rival for my son’s affections.“So, did you invite Ariana to your party?” I raised an eyebrow, curious to know.“Yes, Mom, I invited her, and she was excited,” he replied, giving himself one last look in the mirror.Crossing my arms over my chest, I watched my little boy with amusement. “You’ve inherited your dad’s charm when it

~Aoife~I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as I prepared for my wedding day. The room was filled with love and happiness, and Neeral was helping fix my perfect bun, adjusting my veil. I finally looked at myself in the mirror, and tears welled up in my eyes.“It feels like I’m dreaming,” I breathed, my voice filled with emotion.“No, you’re not. This is what you’ve always wanted,” a familiar voice came from the corner of the room. I turned and saw Gabriel and Angel walking towards me.“Congratulations,” Angel said, hugging me tightly.“Thank you.” Gabriel cupped my face and gently kissed the top of my head. “I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen now.” “What do you mean?” “You’re pregnant.” Confusion furrowed my brow. “That means Xander should be prepared to get his ass kicked by you.” He chuckled. We all laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment.“No, I’ve done this before, and I know how to compose myself.” “No, you don’t know how to comp

~Aoife~My eyes welled up with tears as I listened to Matt and Neeral’s story, realizing the depth of their love and the challenges they had faced. Even Xander, sitting beside me, seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze fixed on them. Matt, seated next to Neeral, gently caressed her belly and planted a tender kiss on her head, a gesture filled with love and anticipation.“This is our story,” he said, a smile gracing his face as he glanced towards us, his friends. The room fell into an awkward silence as the weight of their emotional journey settled upon us. Unable to contain my emotions, I stood up and embraced Neeral tightly, feeling gratitude for the strength and love she had shown even when Matt was filled with hatred.“Thank you for loving him when he hated you,” I whispered, my voice choking with emotion. Then I turned to Matt and hugged him as well. “And thank you for loving her when she lost all hope in you.”Xander nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the profound impact

~Neeral~Eight Months Later…It had been eight long months since I last laid eyes on Matt, yet my heart still ached from the moment I left him. When he unexpectedly showed up in Seattle, seeking my forgiveness, I foolishly allowed a glimmer of hope to flicker within me. But I soon realized that it was nothing more than a gesture of a gentleman asking for forgiveness, devoid of any deeper feelings. In an attempt to distance myself, I cut off all social contacts and disappeared from social media, keeping a low profile.I didn’t know if I was hiding from Matt or simply afraid of what might transpire if he discovered I was now residing in Austin. I had started a new job at a local publication house, which paid enough for me to survive. I rented a house with new friends, and everything seemed to be going well. However, every weekend served as a reminder of my solitude, as my friends would retreat to their families’ or boyfriends’ houses. To fool my longing heart, I sometimes found myself s

~Neeral~Despite having crushed Taylor’s heart, he selflessly requested that I stay and help him finish the work in Seattle before I left for Austin. I agreed, feeling a sense of responsibility towards him. He didn’t complain or question me about the person responsible for his heartbreak. His kindness and understanding only intensified my guilt.Taylor had planned a farewell dinner for me, but he had to leave abruptly due to his father’s illness. He apologized and asked me to stay in Seattle for another week to assist him. As he departed, I found myself alone in the chilly city, fully engrossed in completing the pending work before my departure.Returning to my cottage, I was greeted by John and his wife, who had been taking care of the place. They had prepared a delicious meal for me, and I thanked them with a smile. However, the atmosphere took a sudden turn when John informed me that someone had come looking for me earlier but refused to provide his name.Confused, I frowned and ca

~Matt~Mending a broken heart felt like an impossible task, akin to building a sandcastle in a perpetually wet place. No matter how hard I tried, a wave would inevitably crash upon me, obliterating everything I had painstakingly constructed. How foolish was I to find myself in the same situation again?I had developed a special connection with Neeral, only to witness her accepting Taylor’s ring. Falling in love once more required effort, but I failed to nurture it. Our story seemed to leap to its climax before it even had a chance to begin.When Taylor proposed to her, I struggled to understand how I should react. Should I direct my anger toward him or at myself? I didn’t dare express my feelings to her, and she didn’t wait for me either. We shared a bond, but my confusion persisted. Was it friendship or something more? An unsettling fear crawled beneath my skin.What if I told her how I felt, and she left me like Aoife did? What if I asked her to wait, allowing me to discern if my em

~Neeral~After my heartfelt conversation with Taylor, I returned home. He had expressed his love for me with such joy, but Matt’s reaction to my proposal left me astounded. Why did he act like such a jerk? He had never seen me as anything more than a friend, so why did it seem like he was unhappy?With a stack of files in my hands, I struggled to open the door to my house. It was already 8 o’clock, and Matt wasn’t home. I called him, but he didn’t answer. I sent him a message, and I saw the three dots indicating that he was typing, but no reply came.Feeling a mix of worry and frustration, I decided to take a quick shower, prepare dinner, and keep myself busy with work. I waited for him at the dinner table for a long time, but he never showed up.My eyes wandered to the ring Taylor had given me. It was beautiful, and it brought a faint smile to my face. Perhaps one day, I would be able to love Taylor as deeply as I had loved Matt.Lost in my thoughts, my phone chimed. It was Taylor on

~Neeral~It had been two weeks since that horrible incident happened to me, and a strange feeling of suffocation took hold of my heart. I thought I could survive as Matt’s friend, but the closer we got, the more I felt myself drowning in pain. I couldn’t see myself as just his friend anymore. This realization reached its peak when he referred to me as his close friend in front of his family.Last weekend, we went to meet his parents. They welcomed me with open arms. It felt nice because I missed my mom so much. Matt told them about Aoife and Xander, and it surprised his parents to hear about those incidents. They were happy that I stood by Matt’s side, but I cursed myself for creating so much pain for myself. I was foolish to let him enter my heart, and now it was enough. I needed to move on.I created profiles on dating apps, hoping to find someone who would help me forget about Matt. However, my bad luck struck again when he saw an email notification from a dating app on my laptop.“

“Matt!” I screamed, desperation and fear filling my voice.Suddenly, someone forcibly pulled him away from me, and all I could hear was Victor’s agonized scream before I heard his feet on the floor as he rushed out of the house. Matt came barging back into the room, and as my senses slowly returned, I scrambled to cover my nakedness.Shivering and bleeding from my lips, I looked up at Matt, hoping for his protection and salvation. He scratched my face and body, leaving visible marks of his assault, and all I wanted was to be safe in Matt’s arms. “Hey, are you okay?” Matt’s voice trembled with concern as he hurried to my side. He grabbed a bedsheet and gently wrapped it around me, shielding me from the world’s harshness. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn’t help but feel disgusted when I looked at myself.“It’s all my fault... I am worthless,” I whimpered, my voice filled with self-loathing.Matt’s eyes widened with disbelief, and he reached out to touch my trembling shoulder.
