CHAPTER 27
It's been two days since he brought me to his condo. I didn't know what he was planning for. After our argument, it didn't happen again.
I don't know if I will calm down because he is not bothering me, but I am nervous because I have no idea of his plans.
I stayed in the guest room while he was in his room. We only talk when we eat or when there is something important that needs to be communicated.
That's better than fucking.
I heard a knock on door before he came in.
"The food is ready," he said with a little smile.
I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes even though he's smiling.
Why are you doing this Andrei?
I want to asked but I didn't bothered to.
I just nodded at him as my response and walked with him through the kitchen.
He handed me a chair and waited for me to sit down before he walked over and sat down in his seat.
We quietly started our meal; the past few days none of us broke the silence.
I thought that would continue, so I was surprised when he suddenly cleared his throat. I looked at him, giving him a 'what-the-hell-do-you-want' look.
"Pack your things," he said formally.
"Can I go home now?!" I asked happily.
I miss my Adrian so much. I'm not used to being away from him.
He frowned at me. He dropped his utensils and let out a sigh.
"We are going on a vacation baby. I still have my three days," he replied.
I was immediately depressed.
Still no Adrian for me.
"Why? Why are you doing this Andrei? We may be married because you tricked me, but still for me, we are done." I said.
I could see the pain in his eyes and he smiled bitterly. "Isn't it obvious Cassandra? I love you. I love you, that's why I'm doing all this shit just to have you back," he said.
Panic. Astonishment. Anger. Disappointment. Sadness.
Almost at the same time, those emotions repeated to me.
I faked a laugh and looked at him. "Don't bullshit me Andrei." That's all I said.
He shook his head and frustrated looking at me. "Why can't you believe what I'm saying?" he said, there was resentment in his words.
I closed my eyes and let go of the spoon and fork I was holding.
I opened my eyes and looked at him without emotion. "How can I believe in your words when I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears how the fuck you betrayed me." I said.
"I didn't, God knows how much I love you from the start Cassandra. It was all planned. Believe me baby," he pleaded and held my hand resting on the table.
I shut my eyes, trying myself to calm down, but anger and resentment really dominated my system.
At the same time as I opened my eyes, I threw everything my hands I could grab and shouted as I cried hard.
He immediately stood and hugged me tight. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for hurting you, please believe me baby. Please give me a chance," he whispered.
I leaned back against him as I continued to cry. "I wanna be bad even just for once. I want to hurt you, curse you, and do all things that can make your life miserable as I am." I said, bitterness and pain dripping in my voice.
But I can't. Just for the sake of Adrian. I can't.
"You already hurt me since the day you left me, I cursed myself hard for letting you go. I was really miserable when you abandoned me. No need baby... I already suffered. Now can you hear me out?" he whispered.
I just shook my head and pushed him. I looked at him without emotion, even though my tears were still dripping.
"No matter how hard you explained it. I can't see myself believing, I can't trust your words anymore." I stated.
I could feel him let out a heavy breath.
"I understand," he replied simply and then looked at me intently.
"I'll prove it to you. I just want you to ready yourself," he said while anxiously looking at me.
Confused with what he said, I automatically raised my eyebrow.
He wiped the remaining tears from my eyes and then smiled a fake smile.
"After our vacation baby. I will," he said and kissed my forehead.
I just closed my eyes once his lips touched my forehead.
I opened my eyes as he let go and moved slightly away from me.
I stiffened in my seat when I saw his arm bleeding. Not too much but still bleeding. He immediately noticed that, because that's where my eyes were focused.
My body grew cold and I began to shiver.
Blood.
I could see his quick action to wipe and cover it before approaching me.
"Hey...baby, it's okay. I'm fine. Just a little cut. Calm down," he said while caressing my hands.
Tears welled up in my eyes as the memories of my life began to return to my mind.
My baby...
Save my baby...
"Fuck!" I heard him curse, but not enough to get my attention.
As I closed my eyes, I could see blood dripping to my legs.
"Baby...baby...breathe," I heard him say.
I'm still shaking in fear and crying, no matter how hard I tried to calm.
My baby...
"Fuck!" I heard him curse again and he kissed my lips.
He kissed me softly and slowly. He touched my nape as he deepened the kiss. I slowly closed my eyes and responded to his kisses.
A few seconds later, little by little I felt calm. My mind was on his hand traveling to my breast.
I moaned when he massaged it while still kissing me. Slowly he stopped the kiss and leaned his forehead against mine.
Our stare met. His eyes widened and he caressed my cheek.
"You okay now?" he asked worriedly.
I weakly nodded and dropped my head on his shoulder.
"I want to sleep now. Can you please carry me to bed?" I said weakly.
Instead of answering, he just lifted me up. He brought me into the guest room where I stayed and carefully dropped me on the bed.
He took the blanket and gently laid it on me. He kissed my forehead and was about to leave, but I managed to hold his shirt.
"Can you stay beside me tonight?" I asked.
He sighed and held my hand. He sat in the remaining space on the side and gently squeezed my hand.
"Sleep now baby. I won't leave. I'll just clean the mess outside when you fall asleep. But don't worry I'll be right back to accompany you," he mumbled.
I quickly shook my head as a sign of disapproval.
"You can fix it tomorrow. Please don't leave me." I said, almost begging.
He quickly laid down next to me and hugged me.
"Everything you want. Now rest baby, I won't leave, fuck that mess. My baby is my top priority." He hissed, which made me smile a little before I fell asleep.
