Chapter 82: Don’t Hate

Asher

I was freaking out when Alistair come. I wanted to defeat him, but only if I could. I was a little less in terms of strength with him.

I don’t know how he came to know about our marriage. If only he was some minutes late, everything would have been good!

I was out of the place and in a silent place. I lit a cigar and started smoking. I will get her back because she belongs to me and no fucking ex can come and take her away from me.

I heard footsteps and I turned around to see Selena. How did she find me?

“What are you doing here?” I asked her.

She kept coming to me and I looked at her suspiciously. She looked into my eyes and then scoffed.

“You deserve this” she whispered and slapped me. I threw my cigar away and took her hand in my grip. “What the fuck, Selena? How dare you!”

“How dare I? How dare you try to marry her when you don’t love her!?”

“How can you support her!? I am your brother!”

Selena

“You were my brother! You have changed and I hate you!”

“You WHAT” he looked at me and tilted his head. He looked as if he was threatening me. “Speak the fuck up, Sel!”

“I… I hate you” I whispered and he slapped me. It was so hard that I fell on the ground.

I put a hand on my cheek and moved a little back as he came near me. I couldn’t get up yet because it was paining a lot and I think I hurt my leg.

“You should stay in your limits, Selena”

“You… you are a monster now” I whispered and tried to get up.

“You don’t want to make me a monster with you, Selena” he whispered. “Just leave before I make things worse”

“I will” I whispered. I was scared too. For the first time, I saw no remorse in his eyes after hurting me.

I finally got up. I realised my leg was not well, but I kept moving slowly slowly. I didn’t look back.

After I got at a good distance from him, I called Nick.

Oh yeah, he couldn’t attend the wedding because he had to leave at the last moment. His mom was not well. I know I shouldn’t disturb him but trust me, he will be really mad if I don’t tell him right now that I am hurt.

“Hey?” he said as he picked up the call.

“How’s mom?” I asked him.

“She’s better. You know, she is in depression after dad passed away… so she shad a panic attack. She is okay now”

“That’s good”

“Yeah”

“So… there was something I needed to tell you”

“Yeah?”

“Actually I hurt my leg and my car is far away so I was--”

“What? How the hell, Sel?”

“Uh…”

“Send me your location, I am on my way”

“But--” the call ended.

I sighed. You saw? He would have killed me if I didn’t tell him.

I send a message telling my exact location to him. After just three minutes, I saw a car coming.

He parked it a little away and came running to me.

“Where are you hurt?”

“It is just a little--”

He bent down and saw my leg. “It is blue!”

“A little--”

He looked at me. “Just keep quiet”

I nodded and sighed. He is so protective and I love it.

He picked me up in his embrace. I looked at him and the world seemed to disappeared. He was not smiling but he looked the most handsome man in the world.

He was carrying me like a hero. He kept me inside the car on the back seat. “Spread your legs and keep it on the side. No need to get up when the car stops”

“Okay…” I whispered.

He went to the driver’s seat and started driving the car. I just kept sitting with my legs also on the seat. I saw out of the window. It was beautiful.

“You will tell me what happened, clearly. Is that okay?” he said.

“Uh… yeah, sure”

“Hm”

I sighed. I can’t just tell him that my brother, also known as his best friend did it. He will break his friendship and everything will ruin. This will make Asher hate me more. I should keep quiet about this.

Maybe I should make up some excuse and say it. I know Nick will believe whatever I say. I am not doing anything wrong. I know something is wrong with Asher for now, he will be fine later.

The car stopped after some time and I saw that we had already arrived at our house. I realised that Nick doesn’t even know about what happened at the wedding.

I can’t make so many lies. He will know that Asher was behaving so badly with his future wife. He will know it from others too. It is the worst thing to know the truth from any third person.

But if I tell him the truth, he might start hating Asher. I guess I will have to explain everything to him politely. That is the only way he will understand what I wanna say.

However I will still not tell him about what he did to me because then he might very well not forgive Asher.
