I should have never done this. I'm bringing up too much bottled emotions. "Asher ,we can stop if you-" I was starting to say but he interrupted me. "No, I need to get this out, it's been too long." He said shaking his head looking down at his plate. I nodded my head and let him continue. "We were so happy. I would even call us the happiest couple of that time. I mean I had everything that I wanted... So, I thought." "One night I was sleeping in our bed when I heard a scream from the bathroom. I woke up and opened the door, and there was Victoria lying on the floor with blood coming from her legs." "I rushed her to the hospital, and soon after they said we miscarried our baby. I was so confused, and hurt. We were happy, everything was perfect one moment and the next it wasn't." "After that day, she wasn't the same. She would leave hours of the night, and days at a time. I would blow up her phone and message her but she would never answer. She kept her distance from me, and I couldn't reel her back in." "She came home drunk one night. I tried to get her to our bed safely but she kept on hitting me and claiming for me to let her go so I did. Once I got her on the floor she took out loads of broken pieces of paper from her purse. Screaming in my face that she was sleeping with all these men that were on these papers, claiming that she didn't love me no more." "However, I ignored it, I thought she was drunk she didn't know what she was saying. However, they say a drunk mind, exposes sober thoughts it was true." "The next day I found out half of my bank account was empty, and the house that we got together there was no trace of her not even a note or a letter saying a goodbye. Nothing." "She took half of the shares, from our joined company which damaged my business tremendously, and cause my dad to blame everything on me from the miscarriage up to the money that was taken from me." "So, yes when I saw her that night. I needed to get answers from her, I haven't seen the woman that put me through hell and back for years just standing there." He said sitting back in his seat fiddling with a piece of paper in his hand. "So, you didn't sleep with her?" I asked in a whisper. He looked up at me, and answered. "No, I will never, I just wanted answers." He said shrugging his shoulders. I let out a breath I was holding, and felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I just stayed silent thanking the Lord that he didn't sleep with her. "I know Natalia, I know I shouldn't have even bothered-" "No Asher there's no need to apologize for trying to get answers. I would have done the same thing." I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, and looking up at him continuing. "The only reason why I was mad is because you refused to tell me anything about her or that night. Which led me to assume that you slept with her." He nodded his head, and looked ashamed at all the past events. "Did you get your answers?" I asked "Yeah, she claimed that she was just coping from the loss of our baby by sleeping with men. And that it was hard for her to go through." He said laughing a little bit. I kind of looked at him weird, I think he registered what he was doing because he explained himself quickly. "Believe me I'm not laughing because of the whole thing. I'm laughing at the fact that after all these years Victoria still doesn't see what she did wrong, and didn't even take my feelings into consideration. She just did what she did for her, and didn't care about me in the process, and she still doesn't realize that she broken me in ways she'll never understand. It just concludes that she was nothing but a conniving, manipulative, heartless woman from the beginning." He said shrugging his shoulders. "I felt embarrassed and humiliated that she took advantage of the loss of our baby to do the things she did and not apologize for it, leaving me looking stupid that I even considered her to be my wife and carry my child in the first place." After he sobered up and finished talking, while I looked out the window, and realized it was dark outside. I looked back at him but already caught him staring at me. I gave him a smile reached out and grabbed his hand. "Thank you, Asher." I said to him He looked at me for a whole full minute thinking about something, before he nodded his head and grabbed my hand getting me up from the table. We walked out got into the limo. Sitting in the same positions that we were in before we got out hours ago. The ride was silent before he spoke up. "You believe me, right? That I didn't sleep with her?" He asked with concerning eyes. I looked at him and realized that he was changing. He was actually starting to care of what I thought. He was opening up finally. I decided to ruin the moment like always. "Oh, Asher the big, bad, mysterious man caring what I think? I'm starting to think that you are actually- "There you go again-" "Ruining it" We said at the same time laughing a little bit. The limo stopped at National Elect Industries. We both walked out, him walking me to the car. Before I got in I stopped turned around and looked at him. "Thank you again for telling me, and for lunch, you are changing, and opening up and that's all I asked for." I said looking down. "And Yes, I do believe you." I said looking up at him and putting my hand to his face. He gave me a big smile, and planted a kiss on my lips. I pulled him tighter to me craving more. He pushed me against my car lightly kissing me harder while touching my sides. After a while it was getting very heated so I decided to separate myself a little bit catching my breath. "Not so fast, I'm not letting you in that quickly." I said looking at him fully tracing his lips with my thumb. "What- "You're going to chase me a little while longer." I leaned forward whispering his ear. I pulled back and saw him biting on his lip, and looking at me in the eyes. On that note, I opened up the door fully and quickly and got in. Setting my purse and files down. However, I heard a small tap on my window. I looked up and seen him standing there still pushing his finger down signaling for me to roll down the window so I did. Once the window was down he leaned forward on the vehicle with his arms separated on each side. where he was inches apart from me. "You must have forgot who I am, I always love a good chase." He said smirking at me. "Then there should be no problem" I said shrugging my shoulders and looking at him with a tense stare. "Yeah but just so you know my love I am driven by many things. So, I plan to win." My love, man those words still get my heart racing from the first time and second time he said that to me I thought to myself. We continued to stare at each other in the eyes, while he spoke up again. "Because one day I'm going to marry you Natalia." He said bending his face down the window frame getting a closer look at me. "One day I plan on adopting Miya to be officially my daughter." He continued titling his head looking at me with his piercing blue eyes. "And finally, I'm going to fight for you to be mine again. I refuse to let you slip through my fingers." He said leaning down to my forehead giving me a lingering kiss with his hair falling in his eyes tickling my face in the process. He backed away, got off the car before he looked to my lips, and then back to my eyes again. He walked away backwards with his hands in his pockets still looking at me, but this time with an evil smirk. "So let the games begin." He stated.
