Chapter 21

The white ceiling opened on me while the hum of the AC was the only noise in the room, and I slowly got up. I didn't wear the same clothes I wore last night.

I noticed that I was laying in my bed at the mansion.

I walked slowly and carefully to my room, long sleeves and my undies.

What happened last night flashed back and my sweet smile faded. After I left Veda, Oakley found me. He hugged me and I cried on his shoulder until I fell asleep last night.

The door opened slightly and Oakley spat milk while staring at me. He placed the milk next to my vanity mirror and he handed me a robe.

Did you just wake up? He asked, then I handed him the milk and drink.

"Oakley..." I call him for me to get his attention while his observations move inside me.

"The guy I was hugging yesterday is my cousin," he chuckled, placing his hands on his nape. He looked like a shy boy.

"I got jealous of nothing." He laughed the whole time, while I was already half full of the milk he gave me.

I'm sorry if I ignored you yesterday. If I hadn't left you, you wouldn't have found out where Edward's cousin was and gone to the hospital. " I took his hand and placed it on my cheeks and closed my eyes. I felt the heat of his palate.

"It's fine, if you didn't do that until now, I'll drown in the part of my brain that says I'm a victim, but I'm the victim and I made a mistake." I don't know if he's looking at me. I keep my eyes closed.

"I'm being selfish. That's true. It's not just me spinning other people's worlds, "I said with pain in my tune.

I will accept you, Oakley. I don't want to lose you like what happened to Edward. I lost him because I was not giving him enough love to make him stay. He shook his head at me and touched both my cheeks.

If he really loves you, he won't look for another. "A real man is contented with what his lover gives him."

"And don't blame yourself, Elisha. "You're perfect for me, Elisha." He kissed my forehead at the tip of my nose, touching his skin.

"I love everything you have, Elisha. Please don't do that. I'm in pain. " I feel full heat every time the air comes out of her mouth.

"I want spaghetti."

...

"You still didn't have what you cut!"

"You broke up with Elisha first. You like it!" I slapped my forehead when I noticed Grandpa and Christ in the hut and Oakley was ordered to chop wood.

Jesus is insane! He ordered the woods whole and Oakley cut them all.

"Will you stop doing that? It's annoying!" I hissed and Oakley laughed in a manly way.

Fuck, my pants dropped!

"I am fine here, Elisha. Don't worry, "he said, and showed his assuring smile.

"She's courting you, hija, so she must suffer!"

"That's true. If you really want us to trust this guy, make sure you do everything to gain our trust, and you, Elisha, please! " I count on what they tell me.

Well, they have a point, but I'm confused.

He's doing this for me, and am I that important to him to let him hurt himself?

"He needs a moment with me. You're just there and there's no next! " I said to Christ and Grandpa as I pulled Oakley away from them.

He looks tired, and his cheeks are red. Maybe because of direct sunlight.

"Are you okay?" I asked, and he caressed my cheeks.

"I'm good princess. Don't worry about me. I will be fine. For now, all I need is to court you and show you that I am very sincere when it comes to you. Maybe we met the wrong way. But this time, I will make this right for us. Because you're worth it, baby, I feel my tears are about to fall. Like my feelings, I'm falling for Oakley.

"Your harot! "Bat your toy, toy is bothering you!" I laughed.and punched his chest.

I'll be back. I need to finish the trees there so we can have our time together and we'll go where you want. "I kiss his cheeks and runaway from him.

He's too good for me. I'm afraid that one day he'll be gone because of me.

Hey, hey, hey! What a kiss kiss! " "Grandfather we shouted while Christ smiled at us.

"No! You're a prostitute, you know that. "

My elisha, if we weren't here. You might not be able to get out of your room, and you won't be able to walk for a week. Get organized! " I roll my eyes and let them do what they want.

I don’t want to see Oakley struggle, but he wants that. He wants to earn my trust, not just mine. Even the support of my whole family

And that's how he courted me.

"Ma'am elisha," a maid came up to me while she was nervous when she was in front of me.

"Who?" full of astonishment, I asked. Who will come with me here? Is my safe haven

No one knows. Except for Oakley, he already knows where to find me when I am hiding.

I didn't introduce myself. I felt my heart skip a beat for a short time, and I hurried to go with our assistant. The guard opened the gate, and Edward's face opened and Veda was with him.

"They are, ma'am," I replied, and then I couldn't believe what I saw.

Veda looks exhausted, while Edward still has bandages and gifts on his body.

"Elisha, please..." He said this until he slowly approached me and I tried to back away.

Why, all of a sudden, can he destroy all my hard work?

Why is Edward so good at breaking me over and over again?

He's good at making me confused.

Please, Elisha, come back to me. I beg you, "he knelt in front of me while Veda was crying next to him.

"No, I am too stupid to accept you!" I shouted until he suddenly hugged me and I felt his tears on my shoulder.

"N-no elisha, there's no woman who can replace you in my heart and mind, elisha. "I love you," he said to me, full of begging. Maybe I look like a contra bida now.

But I’m into it. I’m so used to being mean to other people.

"I can replace you now, Edward. I don't want you anymore. You don't deserve me. I'm too good for you, and you know what? I hate you."

I pushed him and ran into the house, where I met Oakley.

He tried to hug me even though I saw his reaction, surprised because Veda and Edward were at the gate.

Don't hug me; I'm such a bad person. You don't deserve me. No one deserves someone like me, "and tears run down my cheeks.

I'm such an idiot. I hate being me.
