Chapter 12 - A cold guy!

Kevin again fell ill after my strong hit on his head with a frypan. The doctor advised him to complete bed rest as it will take time to heal the wound on his head but Mr. perfectionist can't live without his work, so he decided to open his office at home!

Suddenly, the house was all crowded especially the living room, six of his employees were working in the living room and they will be doing this till Kevin is all fine.

On the other hand, I was hiding from him because guilt was heavy on my heart.

Serving him food and doing the house chores like a maid was all I kept myself busy with.

Neither I disturbed him nor did he speak any word to me after the incident!!!

Friday morning, Peter joined the meeting in the living room, they all seemed busy discussing something very important and I was standing in the corner of the kitchen observing them from afar.

After the meeting was over, Peter came to me and asked in his deep voice "why did you cause such a mess?" I looked at him with pity and told him the whole story, hearing my words his face turned pale and his mouth was wide open!

"I am lying about everything just to hide my identity from Kevin" tears rolled down my eyes as I said these words, Peter looked worried for me, he patted my shoulder and said while consoling me "it's my fault, I shouldn't have dragged you in this mess but I needed a maid urgently and not a single person was ready to work for Kevin, so that was the only option" Peter's eyes were filled with regret and he was blaming himself for all the chaos that has been happening lately. I know he is blaming himself but I am a strong woman and running away from home was my idea and so it's only me not anyone else,

I will deal with everything for my freedom. The air was tense between us and I thought of it as a perfect opportunity to ask him about Kevin's secrets. Like Kevin, Peter doesn't say much as well, or more specifically he rarely opens his mouth about Kevin's matters. Taking the opportunity I took a deep breath and asked Peter the most important question to ease my burden a little "how does Kevin know my Dad?"

Peter looked at me with curiosity as if he has no idea what I am talking about.

"I don't know anything but did your Dad see you here?" He asked in a deep voice curiosity peeking from his eyes "No, I was hiding my face with a bucket" Peter started laughing and who can blame him???

"How long are you planning to hide your face like this?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"As long as I am here, I have to hide my face or else Kevin will tell my Dad, he gave Kevin the responsibility to find me" Peter was shocked, everything seemed new to him and that's when I realized he knows nothing about Kevin!!

Or maybe Peter and Kevin are best friends that's why they're protecting each other's secrets but here we were talking about my Dad, and knowing the truth was important for me more than anything. Making a pity face I started convincing Peter to tell me the truth but after a long struggle it turned out Peter is as clueless as I am because Kevin never shares anything private with anyone, he is like a closed wall. I didn't get the answer about my Dad but Peter told me something else about Kevin, about his family!

Kevin has a grandfather, Dad, a stepmom, a stepbrother, and a sister who is married now. After Kevin's mom died, his Dad married his first love from high school now a widow with a son. They entered Kevin's life and ruined everything, Kevin knew they were only after his Dad's money though no one believed him. Kevin's grandfather loved him more than anything but this time even he started taking his stepbrother's side more than him. Seeing his own family drifting away, Kevin left home and started his own business.

My heart was heavy and started thinking about the pain he must be hiding in his heart. After leaving his family, Kevin became distant from everyone more specifically, he started maintaining distance from everyone and developed a weird 'love allergy ' the allergy was a sign that he lost his faith in love.

Unknowingly, I scratched his deep scars, kissed him, and even confessed my fake love. This is all my fault, so I decided to take full responsibility for my actions.

I am going to make him free from his allergy, I will show him the importance of people in our lives and I will break his strong wall.

Kevin wasn't a bad person, life experiences changed him and made him cold towards everyone!

A warm smile appeared on my face and I started walking toward Kevin,

I held his hand in front of his employees and said in my soft voice "I will be by your side until you're fine, and you can't push me away!"
