Chapter 66: The Truth Behind the Betrayal
Vishiea’s POV
He tried to hold my hand again, but I slapped him hard. He was surprised because of what I did. I couldn’t hold back myself and didn’t even notice I did it.
He nodded his head. I tried to calm myself and looked at him.
“If you actually love someone, you wouldn’t hurt their feelings. Darius, I have so many questions I want to ask you before. I have plenty of what ifs? Why?” I told him, holding back the tears that wanted to stream down my cheeks.
I can’t let him see me crying because of the past. I am strong, and I have already overcome everything. But why do I feel weak right now?
I don’t want to talk about the past, but here I am exactly talking in front of the man who once ruined me. Who rejected me and the reason why my dad died.
I hate him. I can’t explain how much I hated him. To be honest, I feel like he doesn’t deserve my forgiveness and a second chance to talk to me, but I want to live a peaceful life. I want to move on from the past, and the only solution for that is to talk to him.
“I love you, I love you more than myself, more than anything in this world, Vishiea,” he uttered, insisting he loves me. I chuckled bitterly. What a silly joke, Darius.
If you really love me, then you should not hurt me, but instead, you even found another girl to replace me. Is that actually what you mean by love?
All those years, I really thought you actually loved me, but everything was just a lie. You hid your cheating. You don’t know how many times I asked myself.
Am I not enough? What did I do wrong for you to hurt me like that? Why did you make out with Rachelle while we were still together?
You didn’t even consider me as your mate, because if you really did, then that wouldn’t happen.
“You’re wrong, Darius. You don’t love me, you only love yourself. You love Rachelle, not me. You must misunderstand your feelings. If you loved me before, you wouldn’t hurt me,” I told him, trying to be calm. He shook his head and tried to get near me, but I pointed my fingers at him, warning him. He stopped and couldn’t do anything.
If you insist on holding me, Darius, you wouldn’t like it.
I never actually wanted to talk to you. But because Aunt Kennedy and Darius, including Mother Kiara, convinced me to leave the past, I am here giving you another chance.
You’re not supposed to be here. And if I were to be followed, I would not let you enter and would let you soak in water until you gave up.
“No, don’t say that. I love you. It’s only you, Vishiea, it’s only you, not anyone or Rachelle. Please believe me.” He pleaded, but I shook my head. I will never dare to believe in you, Darius.
You’re only here to lie to me.
“If you don’t have anything to say other than telling lies, then you may now go,” I told him and turned around, but he didn’t let me. He held my hand, but I pushed him away.
“Get lost, Darius. You’re crossing the line,” I gritted my teeth, but he didn’t care.
“Why can’t you believe me? I love you,” he uttered. I closed my fist. He really doesn’t know why I don’t trust him. Does he really need to ask that? He’s not only a cheater, he’s also stupid. How come he became my mate? He really changed; he’s no longer the Darius I know.
“I love you. I love you so much. You’re my life, my everything,” he told me, but I shook my head. I don’t want to listen to him right now.
I thought we would have a talk, but it seems like I only gave him a chance to lie to me.
“Stop it! Leave now! You never loved me! Do you still know what love means? Darius, you’re only wasting my time,” I told him and turned around, deciding to end the conversation. However, before I could step away, he talked, which made me stop.
“I love you so much that I am willing to follow my dad’s order for your safety,” he uttered. I was stunned from what I heard. Couldn’t understand what he meant by that.
What about his father? What did he mean? I don’t understand him. I turned and looked at him. He’s staring at the floor while his fist is closed.
The king? What did he mean? Is he blaming his father? Is this another lie again?
“You even dare to blame your father? What are you going to say again? Do you really think I have forgotten what your father did to my father?! He executed him! And you didn’t even do anything to stop him! I begged for mercy, but you didn’t listen to me. You watched me beg, cried while watching my father die,” I told him. This is the first time I have had this conversation in front of him.
His father believed that my dad committed a crime. My father was loyal to the kingdom, to the king, and didn’t do anything to be punished like that.
“Your father is a monster, Darius, and so you are. You love me? Then why did you not stop your father?! Why did you let my dad die?! What exactly does love mean to you? Seeing me crying?! Watching my life being ruined without doing anything? You don’t know what I’ve been through, Darius! And you’re here standing in front of me like forgiveness is something I could give to you that easily after what you did to me?!” I burst out my emotions. Tears started streaming down my cheeks.
Damn him. I hate him for giving me this too much pain.
“Now tell me! What did your dad have to do with your love for me?! Huh?” I asked him. I punched him on his chest.
“I broke up with you not because I didn’t love you, Vishiea. I broke up with you because my father threatened me. He would kill you if I didn’t reject you, Vishiea.”
