Chapter 105: 105

Chloe POV

"Where are you taking me?"

"James!!! Stop all of this rubbish right now!!!!!" I shouted, slapping his hand which made him stop.

"Don’t ever like this with me!!!" I warned and about to turn to leave but he stood right In Front of me.

"What now? Are you trying to block my way?" I asked.

"Where are you going? To Ayla?" he asked.

"Yeah, so what?" I answered.

"Did you forget what happened yesterday? And you are still with her? Are you again plotting something against her so that she will leave?" he said, making all trust and faith break at once.

Just what on the earth could he say like this to me? Ha, how? He is seeing me from school then how could he say this to me. Did he take me as a vixen or he is thinking I’m in love with Aaron that will make me do such a thing? I don’t even understand what the hell is he thinking but it is hurting a lot. It is hurting so freaking much that I could die.

"Tell me! You are trying to do something again right?" he asked but I smiled.

"You know what, I better stop talking to you or I will lose my brain cells", I said and pushed him away.

"Chloe, I haven’t stopped talking to you", he raised his voice, which was the first time he talked to me this way.

"But I stopped talking with you so please let me go." I said and didn’t turn back. I went to the kitchen again but I didn’t find Ayla there as I saw Aaron nowhere, also making me realize they patch up which brought a smile to my face.

"I’m happy for her", I said.

"Miss, I can cook for you if you want", someone asked.

"It is ok, I’m already done with whatever I want. Thanks for asking." I said and took the plate to the couch and started watching movies while having my breakfast. It was more like my lunch as it has been so freaking time since Ayla went to school.

But it is again so freaking lonely just like my old days.

I was thinking when I got a call on my phone.

"Eric?" I’m sure it was him even though it was an unknown number.

"Yes, it is me", I can hear his chuckle from the other side.

"I thought you died", I joked but he still knew how I was feeling.

"I can’t die unless I see you happy." so cheesy.

"So, what’s with you nowadays." I asked.

"I’m just waiting for you to come back", he said, making me sad.

"Should I?" I asked.

"Will I?" I asked for assurance when he jumped.

"Yeah, come back." he said, making me think of a way to escape from this place. It has been more than five years but I’m still stuck here even though I kept on losing myself trying to find his hidden love for me but I don’t think I can live here any longer.

It is starting to feel suffocating. As if someone kept on holding my throat making me unable to speak nor breath. But I wasn’t able to make myself escape from the painful grip.

"I will", I said and hung up on him but soon I saw Mr. King in front of me even though it is quite unusual for him to come out of his room unless it’s so urgent like the time Ayla came here for the first time and the second time when Ayla left home.

"Good afternoon Mr. King", yeah, I kept on calling him this way. I never change the way of speaking even after staying here for years. I never addressed him as dad also.

"Morning", he said and sit In Front of me, making my heart beat louder. I kept on feeling nervous seeing we are alone here.

"I have something to talk about", he said after a long pause.

"I too have something to talk about." I spoke.

"So how long has it been since you and James have been together?" he asked.

"How long? I don’t know that either." I spoke.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Because I myself am unaware how long it has been since we have been together as I met him when I was in school. Then he confessed to me one day but then...

I took a pause.

"Then?"

"Then I came to realize it was only a bet which broke my heart. I can’t tell you the details but I have been loving him from always even though in order to be with him I kept on losing myself." I was looking down the whole time.

"I don’t understand what you are saying but I will come to the point and ask. What is your current relationship with him?" he asked.

"Current relationship?" I asked.

He nodded.

"For me the only relationship left between us is I’m the mother of his child", I said while looking at him but my heart kept on breaking into pieces making me feel as if I’m paralyzed for a moment.

"If you have done asking then I will like to say something too." I spoke.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I’m returning home tomorrow", I said even though it was something I thought about a while back.

"Wh-Why?" he stuttered, making me think he wanted me to stay here.

"Is there a reason for me to stay here?" I laughed.

"You see how my worth is in this place. Even though I did something I was not supposed to be angry about, my love for him was not fake even though what he did to me in past.

But what he did? He announced In Front of all the people saying I get pregnant forcing him. Do you think I wanted to tell everyone like that? Do you think I was happy the way he said?" I asked while my eyes already filled with tears.

"You sure? You will leave?" he asked me again.

"Yeah, I will, so please find someone for your son to get married to." I said and walked toward the garden when I saw Ayla coming from school while she was struggling to carry her back pack.

"Should I carry it for you?" I asked in a low tone as there was a time, she hated me too.

"Yep sure", she said and then I carried her too and brought her inside while it was all empty.

"Where is mom?" she asked.

"She is resting so that your baby brother could grow well", I said while her eyes twinkle again which made me chuckle.

"Oh, ok I’m not going to disturb more but I’m really hungry. Rats are running inside my stomach", she said while I instantly placed a food plate In Front of her while she gulped them instantly. In meanwhile I washed her feet and wiped too. It was so baby soft that I will never regret touching her thoroughly even though it is sound like as if I became a pervert.

"So Aunt, when is your son coming?" she asked, making me startled.

"My son?" I asked again.

"Yes, I heard mom and dad saying that you too are going to give me a brother." she sounded hell excited, making me smile as well.

"Soon", I said but I’m not sure if you two can play with each other or not.

But soon we started playing with her. She was running hell fast making me tired then I saw Aaron come to my rescue. But he was even more of a child than her. I can’t believe he is bribing his daughter so that he can hear about Ayla’s past and even if he is included in it or not.

Soon I told him that I was about to leave too but he too wanted me to stay but unlike the one person I’m sure I’m not even going to tell him about it even though I’m sure he will gladly tell me to leave.

"Chloe, come with me", I was thinking while I didn’t realize when Aaron left and when James appeared In Front of me again.

"Where?" I asked.

"Just come with me", he said while we went to his room where everything is so organized the way I saw when I first entered this room.

"Now say" I asked while I crossed my hand.

"Let’s stop everything here", he said, making me go blank for a while.

"You understand right?" he asked while his expression was showing that he is genuine.

"Yeah, I do", I said and left for my room.

I have no idea how long I cried but my tears made patches all over my face. My heart kept on being in pain making me hard to breathe but his sentence kept on repeating in my head.

Why is it aching so much when I already decided I will leave?

Why?

Why so much pain?
