Chapter 34: Confession
Kaitlyn
He slowly stepped out of my room as I broke down into tears. I knew I was hurting him too, but I want him to really understand.
Chris… What should I do?
I called him.
“hey” I spoked.
“Hey, Kate? Is that you?”
“Hm-mh” I replied.
“Oh I am so sorry--”
“I didn’t call you so that you can apologise,” I cut him in between.
“Uh…”
“It is okay, I forgive you”
“So… we are good?” he asked me. I sighed.
“Yes, we are”
“That’s so good to know”
“Yeah”
“What happened with you and Daniel?”
“Uh…” I sighed. “I don’t… see, we can’t just act like nothing happened and open up, okay?”
“Oh… yeah, right”
“Hm…”
“Okay, then thank you, I have to go right now…”
“Yeah go”
The call ended and I sighed loudly. I wanna go and talk with Daniel. he came here to just ask for forgiveness for Chris. This was so unexpected. I wanted to go back to him. Will it be right?
I didn’t wanna see tears in his eyes. That broke my heart, even after what he did because I love him! And you can’t hate someone you once loved!
Maybe I can just give him a second chance…
but no, I don’t know if he is acting or is really sorry. I shouldn’t fall for this.
I decided to go far away. I have to give him time so that he knows my value. I will come back one day, and if he still wants me… I will be there…
I packed up my stuff. This is the time I will make use of this crazy media behind me. They will themselves spread the news to him.
I will give them what they want, information, and I will get what I want, that is, it, being spread to Daniel.
I decided to go to a completely other country. I want to have space too. If I stay, it will be so difficult to see him hurt because of me. I have to go away.
As I packed all my stuff, I remembered him. If we don’t think about the moments when he hurts me, I just love him so much. I don’t know why I wanna overlook all he did, but I guess I do. Although that would make him think it was nothing serious anyway, when it is.
I got down, with my eyes moistening already. I should not be sad or the media will notice.
I went out of the hotel and in a matter of minutes, the media surrounded me, the lights flashing as if I was some celebrity. I looked down becauseI was feeling so sad all of a sudden again.
I moved towards my car. As I was gonna go inside, someone pulled me by the hand and the media and the people suddenly got a lot louder.
I looked at the person. It was Daniel.
Fuck, I think the news travelled way faster than I had thought it would.
“Where are you going?” I heard him.
“Uh…” I looked sideways. I need to be strong. “It doesn’t concern you”
He turned my face towards him. “You want me to confess? Fine”
I stared at him as he turned towards the media. “I…” he started and took a long breath. “Today I wanna confess something. I have… tortured my wife for the past months... and I…” his voice broke. “I am sorry and she… can’t believe me that’s why she is leaving---”
I was late but I had to stop him. I took his hand and dragged him to a corner. They followed us but I could get a few minutes. “What are you doing? You know what will happen--”
“Right now the most important thing is making you believe me”
“Daniel…”
“It's okay… take your time” he went back to the place and continued. “she is leaving so, uh… leave her alone, please”
They started throwing questions at him as I returned to the place too.
“So are you two divorcing?” One of them saud. I just looked at Daniel as he looked down. He wasn’t even pushing those people away. They might be just suffocating him.
“If she wants then she can,” he said to them.
I looked at him but he started moving towards his house. He looked at me once. “I love you”
I stared at him and he moved back to his house. I was just standing there, still numb by what he said. I don’t know, but suddenly I feel so guilty about hurting him.
I sighed anyway and went to my car. I sat inside and started driving. I knew I was leaving him behind but he has to suffer for what he did. He literally tortured me.
But what matters now is that he confessed it. This is gonna have a big effect on his business.
