CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE

CHELSEA POV.

I couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Won't you say you let me go?"I asked him. "Isn't the usual response is, we break off and we won't see each other again?" I had to ask.

"Well that's the thing, the only way I can let you go physically is when I'm dead, I can't stand seeing you smiling to another guy that's not me, marrying another guy and having kids that are not mine,"

"In other words, you can't stand me being happy," I cut in. "But that won't happen because I'm sure this time, I won't hurt you," He says, ignoring my words.

I closed my eyes, resting my head a bit, there was sincerity in his voice but that was also how it was last time.

"Liam look," I called out. "Don't Chelsea, I know what you are going to say, you don't believe me, so let me prove it to you," He cuts in, pulling a knife and the next thing, he stab his left shoulders with it.

"What the hell Liam?" I yelled. "Kneeling again won't work, this is to show you that I would die if I'm not with you," He growls, obviously in pain but didn't want to show it.

"And you stab yourself, what if something happens to you?" I asked, releasing the lock from the door and going to meet him.

"Oh shit, don't pull it out, it's going to bleed out even more," I advised, rushing out of the gate. I knew I saw a pharmacy store that was still open while we were driving, and I headed towards the location.

"No, please don't lock," I called out. "I'm sorry ma, but I'm close for the day," He refused.

"I will pay you, heavil, open again and I will pay you greatly," I bargained, something he thought about but quickly reopened.

"I need, bandage and anything that can treat a deep cut," I requested, which he rushed to bring, putting everything in a bag.

He totaled everything and I paid thrice the amount before rushing back, ignoring his happy thanks.

When I got back, Liam was out of the car, and handing the key to someone else. "You pulled it out," I yelled, not seeing the knife.

"Where did you run off to, why didn't you tell me where you were going, what if something happened to me," He charged at once, ignoring my words.

"You are the hurt one, I went to get something to relieve your pain," I explained. "And you, the pregnant one, no injury is ever going to beat it,"He paused for a bit, coming really close to me.

"You look so tired, let's get you to bed," he stated, dragging my hands and pulling me to the reception.

"A room and the best one," He ordered, dropping his card for her to swipe. He didn't even wait for her response, he took the keys and the number plate, as well as his card and dragged me to the elevator.

"Can you just let me go, I only went to get something to treat you, and you are still bleeding, let me check it out at least, please," I begged but he didn't answer me, not until he got to the room and locked the door.

The next thing I know, he had pulled me to a big hug. "I know you said I shouldn't touch you, but it's the only way that I feel safe, that you are indeed here," he mumbled.

However, I felt something off and when I went to check, he had passed out, half of my body was slowly drenching in his blood.

Without wasting time, I laid him on the bed, opening it and bringing out my kit, to start stitching him.

LIAM POV.

I was left with a blurry picture of last night, but when I woke up, I found my wound stitching, and she was lying by my side, sleeping.

It was peaceful and I didn't want her waking up and ruining things, so I just watched her, my hands too stiff to move.

Her eyes slowly open, popping up when she realizes I was awake. "Now you ruin it," I mumbled.

"Ruin what?" She asked. "The perfect moment, a scene I love to replay in my head over and over again," I replied.

"Don't you know?"I asked. "In the past, when I had returned home sick, you stayed with me, treated me in my room and when I woke up, I saw you sleeping, holding a small portion of my hand, and with a clear head, I got to watch you sleep, it was a beautiful sight," I explained.

"Now I see why you didn't scold me then, for entering your room," she mumbled, which I nodded.

"From that moment, I would say things was different," I went on. "So you were not aware of what you did the night before or the words you utter after in your sleep?" She asked, I didn't know of such, I only remember sleeping.

"That night was also when my heart went cold for you, I didn't want to make you realize your love for me anymore and I just wanted to be done with the contract," she explained..

"But we are done with the contract, I just want us to start again, no contract binding us together and you can take your time to heal, just let me be around, the problem is, you keep letting the past affect your judgment,"

"Chelsea, please, I know there is still a part of you that loves me and I will wait till you realize," I pleaded.

"And if it takes a year?" She asked, with her hands folded. "Then I will wait no matter how long" I assured.

"Well, I don't think we have a year or more with each other," She began, sitting at the opposite end.

"But," She pauses, biting her lips. "But what?" I asked with a grin
