Chapter 64: 64

"Did you lie to me?" I asked while I was looking at Chloe.

She stayed silent.

"Chloe, I’m asking you something", I asked again.

"Yeah yeah I did." she agreed.

"The first time I came to find you and after taking care of you entirely I came downstairs and I saw a woman standing there", she said while I was barely in control.

"She was crying."

I clenched my fist.

"When I asked your grandfather he said she was pestering you so I didn’t bother on this topic and he even told me not to inform you about this so I lied."

"What more you guys talked about?"

"Where were you when she came to see me?"

"Did she see you with me?"

I continuously asked questions.

"I.....

"Tell me good damn it!!!"

"I was in your room when she came to see you."

"She saw me coming out of your room."

"I don’t know where she was when I was hugging you when you have no shirt but yeah that is....

She stopped.

She saw me with Chloe.

She must have seen her hugging too.

She must have been broken because of my carelessness.

I should have been aware that she told me to let’s meet tomorrow.

I should have been aware she loves me to the point she will be broke.

"What have you talked about grandfather?" I looked at her and asked again.

"I agreed with what she said", she hesitated.

"What do you mean you agreed with what he said?" I asked.

"He asked me if I wanted to be with you?" she said.

"As my friend?" I asked.

"No as your wife", as she said I felt a sudden urge to hold her neck and throw her with all the strength I have.

I got up from the floor and was about to leave when she tried to hold me.

"Leave!!"

I glared.

"No, grandfather will be worried", she said.

"I said leave!!!" This time my voice was extremely loud.

"Can’t you hear me!!!!"

"Have you lost your freaking ability to hear??"

"Why are you ruining my life?"

"I only have one and I’m barely holding on to it so that she won’t leave me again."

"Do you even have any idea how happy I was when I came to know she was the one I was searching for years like a maniac?"

"Do you have any idea how much I wanted to hold on to her when I came to know the one I took as a substitute and ended up falling for is none other than my Ayla, my first love?"

"Or do you not want to understand and die to get revenge for James ruining my life?"

"Aaron, I didn’t mean. I didn’t know about this", she said,

"You don’t know? So what? You still planned to be with me even though you know you will never love me and it will always be him so what’s the point? Are you trying to toy with my whole life the way he once did?"

"If yes then what’s the difference between you two?"

"Huh!!"

"You are blaming him your entire life and now what you have become? A saint? I don’t think so." I kept on glaring at her.

"I will never forgive you for this."

"You have ruined my entire life."

"And now I truly will blame you for the rest of life and remind you of how you snatched my love from me."

I walked from the place.

I didn’t turn and looked at her once.

She deserves this.

The first time I saw her I thought she was innocent. She didn’t know any charm but she was completely different from my thoughts. Now when both are scheming why blame each other? Both want to ruin others’ lives.

I’m not blaming James for my father’s action but I don’t like him as well as how he hid the fact Ayla was the one.

I completely forgot to ask about this and before I could ask he ended up in hospital.

But the thought of him teasing me all these days knowing about her still makes me crazy. How could he do this to drive me to the edge of my patience?

I drove the car in a hurry but then I realised I don’t know where I should go.

Should I go home?

No, this time what grandfather did is unforgivable.

I can’t.

I don’t even want to see his face.

I decided I will return to the place where my mom once used to live.

I drove the car toward the airport but all of a sudden a few cars stopped Me.

I came out and looked when I saw grandfather and Chloe coming out of the car.

"Ha, I never know you will go to this extent", I said.

"And I didn’t know too you will go to this extent for that girl", as he said I remembered how she must have cried when she saw Chloe coming out of the room.

"I will go to every extent for her so never try to stop me", I said and about to go toward my car he called for me.

"Won’t you like to see your mother’s letters before her death?" he said, making me laugh instead.

"Do you think I didn’t know about them?"

"What do you mean?"

"I went to your study many times while you were away and I found them in your drawer but I never mentioned it because I didn’t want you to be sad thinking about them but I didn’t know you would use them on me?"

"Have you finally lost?"

"Or going out of your control making you insane?"

"Aaron!!!!"

"Yes, it’s Aaron."

"I don’t know why I agreed to change my name and be like Xenon but I know I made a huge mistake."

"If I would have lived as Aaron then she could have found me easily."

"I heard she found me like crazy at college one day and she even gave me money to find my file but she got none just because I changed my name. You know how it is making me feel when I know this now?"

"No Aaron!! You are only running after an illusion. Didn’t you see how she chooses James over you when you came to me first?"

"Yeah I know and you don’t know that the girl standing beside you choose James as well."

He looked at her.

"Don’t need to get mad at her as I don’t freaking love her or anything but I hate the fact she is with me to get revenge from James", I said and finally drove the car.

"Please tell your people to leave my way or you may keep me but you can never move the way you want", I said while they cleared my way.

I have no idea why I am returning.

Am I going to see James or just lose my way to doing anything?

I don’t know but I can only imagine her crying face.

Did she cry just the way she cried when we first met?

Did she cry like the day Jace accepted Ayla’s bully and I took her in my arms?

I don’t know.

My head is spinning.

A day later

I’m standing outside of my home. I can’t say this is my home but this place sure is mom’s home.

I rang the calling bell while instantly someone came and opened the door.

She looked shocked but she didn’t say anything.

As I entered, many looked at me from head to toe but I didn’t say anything, not ask but walked toward my room.

"Young master", as I heard my feet stop.

"You came?" the butler said.

"I’m not a young master."

"I’m only my mother’s son, nothing else", I said and walked.

No one asked anything afterwards, and then I entered my room and threw my things in a corner.

The room was cleaner than I expected as if someone was taking care of it while I was away for years.

I can’t say if it is my illusion or if it is clean in reality but who cares I need to sleep. My legs still aching a lot.

"Ahh, my precious bed. I missed you a lot", I said while hugging my body pillow.

I slept like a log.

Time passed fast but I didn’t wake up. I don’t know if anyone came to call me or not but this was the longest sleep I ever got.

When I woke up from my sleep I looked outside of the window when it was already dark. The stars are shining.

Ah, I missed them so freaking much.

Knock knock

"Come in!!" I said but didn’t see who came.

"Aaron, is it you?"

It was James.

I turned toward him and smiled.

"Yeah, it is me."

"I’m not imagining right?" he asked again.

I walked toward him and hugged him. I know it’s unlike me but when I hugged him he flinched but held me back.

"I’m real."
