Chapter 27 Talk of the heart part 1
Chapter 27
Nalzen
I woke up feeling fresh and relaxed, especially since I slept on Aaron's arm.
As usual, he is cooking our food.
I guess it's noon now. We wake up late. Because of our heated romance last night, we got tired.
And blush appeared all over my face.
But it isn't the right time to think about pleasure.
It is time to be serious. This is now or never!
I need to talk to Aaron about Nathan coming home and clarify our relationship status.
"Can we talk?" I ask him.
He looks at me curiously.
"Sure, what's our topic?" He asks.
I wanted to ask first about his real identity.
"So, you are not a real strip dancer from the Bird's Eye Club?" I started.
"Nope, It's just Arthur who asks me a favor. The real strip dancer didn't come back at all and you happen to need the husband for rent immediately. There's no other boy at the moment except me. Come to think of it. Maybe it's Destiny that we've met." He is reminiscing, and happiness is written all over his face.
I'm glad that I met him too. He's a blessing to me. My knight in shining armor and shield.
My Angel.
"So that's what happened, I'm glad that I met you too. But, about our company, I think I cannot accept the ownership. You're the one who invested in it. So, it's yours now." I said.
"What do you mean? You are my wife and you have all the rights to own it." He answered laughing.
Aaron thought that I'm still joking but this time.
I wanted it to be true.
"Aaron, I'm serious. Let's file an annulment." I said without looking at him.
I'm afraid for him to see my sad face and the tears that are about to fall.
Aaron's happy face turns serious.
"What are you talking about? I will never file an annulment to our marriage" He said and is about to get irritated.
And I'm happy that he will never break our marriage.
But how about the people around us?
"It is the right decision, And about our contract. I already canceled it. You are not my husband for rent anymore." I said but my heart was pierced by a thousand needles.
"I don't care about that! I will never sign the annulment." There's finality in his voice.
"But what about Andrea?" I ask challenging him.
Watching carefully his facial expression.
And I'm not wrong. His face immediately turns confused.
He still loves her!
And it hurts like hell.
"I don't know! But one thing I know is that I will never gonna break our marriage." He confidently answered.
"You are kidding me, Aaron. You know that Andrea is your fiancee, then you are already legally married to me. And I'm sorry for that. That's why I wanted to correct the mistake that Nica had made. I want you to be free. And be happy as well." I explained but my tears fall, no matter how I control them.
"You want me to be happy and you are crying? Let me think first and we will talk later. As of now, I don't want an annulment."
I don't understand him. It should be settled today. Not the other time again!
"No, we should finish talking. What's our relationship status? Can you answer that?" I ask him.
He sighed in frustration.
"I don't know! All I know is that I'm happy to be with you. I'm happy to cook for you. I felt sad when you cry. And I don't want to see others hurting you. You're my happiness. And I think I'm falling in love with you." He said with emotions.
And I can see that he is telling the truth and it touches my heart. I think I'm in love with him too.
But what about them? Nathan and Andrea...
"Thank you, but let's talk about reality. Do you love Andrea?" I ask.
I'm afraid to hear his answer but I need to face it.
He paused for a moment and keep quiet.
There's an awkward silence between us.
And I break that silence. I want him to be true and honest.
"I will ask you again. Do you love Andrea?" I felt like crying but I need to be strong.
He takes a deep sigh and finally answers.
"Yes." He said looking down at the floor.
I think a nuclear bomb landed on me. And broke my heart into tiny pieces.
But I still love Nathan too and I love him also.
How could it be? I'm also confused like him but we need to do what is right.
"Okay, I love Nathan too and he is coming back. I guess Nica told him, she loves creating chaos and problems that will make me suffer." I told him.
And he looks at me angrily.
"You will go to him? I'm your husband I will never let you do that!" He shouted.
And I'm getting angry too.
"You will not allow? Then let us have an annulment. How can you marry Andrea if we don't break our marriage?" I shouted at him.
"That's my problem. As of now, you are my wife. And I'm not in favor of annulment." When Aaron is serious he looks dominant and powerful. And I'm afraid of him.
I backward a little.
"But still, we need to file an annulment and when Nathan comes back I will not live in here. And about our company. I cannot take it. It's yours already." I told him that my decision is final.
Aaron looks at me seriously.
