That scene was one I never would forget in my life. The look on her face. The disappointment. The guilt. I saw it all in her eyes.
I called her, trying to explain, but it seemed I was making the whole thing worse.
No amount of words could explain what I did. I had no excuse. She totally ignored me. I feared she would leave me. I felt guilty that I couldn't imagine life without her. The past six months have been amazing for me. My life changed, and I saw life from a different angle. I reason to live and work hard. I didn't want to depend on my family's fortune.
I had begun working with my dad while building my own connections in the business world. I didn't want to have things that would drag her down. I know my family. They are wealth-driven.
She walked to the kitchen, totally ignoring my presence. I tried to speak, but words could not come out of my words.
She was such a lively and humble woman that you would not find in the hypocritical world we are living in. When she told me she didn't want to see that woman in the bedroom, I didn't waste a moment.
I went to find the woman comfortably seated on the bed going through her phone as if nothing involved her. I felt surging anger in my heart. I went and held her arm tightly. She winced in pain, but that was none of my concern to me; at that moment, nothing was as crucial as mending my relationship.
I dragged her out without a care. Her cries were irritating on my ears. I got her out and shut the door. I went back to the kitchen, and my lovely woman was so mad and was venting on food. I really felt bad that she brought foodstuff to prepare for us, and there I was with another woman.
She picked a large kitchen knife and played with it before taking other things out. That scene was really something. She chopped the chicken as if it was me down there. I could imagine what she was thinking.
I tried to talk to her there, but I was afraid I would make things hard for her. I went to take a shower.
In the bathroom, I kept on seeing her disappointed face. In there, I swore to love her with all my heart. To protect her even from me. I swore to make her life worthwhile with me. I swore to never lay my hand on any other woman apart from her. I went back, and there she was, serving food. I didn't know what she was up to. She took the food to the table and a glass while
She didn't even look at me.
I could see she was hurting. She didn't face me.
She didn't slap or argue with me. That gave me the creeps. I didn't know what she was thinking.
She ate and drank the wine. She got drunk after a few glasses. She asked me why? But I could not give her the right answer. No amount of excuse could justify the betrayal.
She stood up; I was afraid she would be hurt, be she wouldn't let me touch her. I was disgusting, and I myself felt the same. In the end, she forgave me. She really forgave. In her was a very beautiful and a kind woman?
We were happy for the next three years, and I had started my own secret company. Venom Cooperation. I didn't want to keep on relying on my family. Though I worked for my family, I had hired amazing people to keep Venom Cooperation running.
Loli Roland had interfered in our relationship a number of times, but I never told Jane. I wanted to protect her from my family. My mum threatened to disown me several times if I brought her into the family. For God's sake, they didn't even give her a chance to step home. I wanted to take her home, but I was afraid she would be disappointed. I wanted to do everything right after her graduation. That's when everything went south.
Two days before her graduation, my dad encountered a problem in Singapore. I had to go and help. I wanted to make it fast and come back to her, but things were not as they seemed.
Upon reaching there, there was a problem with a project, but dad could've handled it. I took care of it, but we had an argument. They took me as a fool. That same night, Loli Roland came with mum. That surprised me; I looked at them in disappointment.
"What is going on here?" I asked
"Nothing, son. Loli was passing by on her vocation, and I invited her. Do you have any problem with that?"
"No. Since you won't have dinner with her, do so. I have to go." I said, intending to go out. I wanted to book a ticket but home.
"Sit down. I know you solved the problem in a hurry today so you can go back to that poor girl you call a girlfriend. I have checked her and she he from a poor background. I don't need to repeat to you again and again. I will not accept her in my family" His mother became angry and shouted.
"Mum. I know you are doing all of this to make her hate me for not attending her graduation. I will tell you now. You have failed." I said to her and stood up to go. My dad stopped again.
"If you book that flight to go tomorrow, I will disown you and take away your inheritance." My heart shook. That was a huge threat. If I said it didn't affect me, I would be lying. It would be so bad with a huge family targeting the family wealth if it eludes his hands.
"I don't care. You can take your money. As long as I have Jane, nothing matters. She doesn't care about all of this. The Watson are the only ones that see wealth as everything. I have made up my mind. And you, please respect yourself and stop this nonsense. I don't love you." He declared and walked away from them.
