Chapter Painful Realization

As expected, Sinclair was pacing around, her forefinger caressing her temples as she tried her best not to l claw me out of the sofa and yank my eye balls out, she hasn’t said much after i was bailed, was expecting to be in a spread eagle positioned and wiped like a prisoner, i am her fuck boy, i guess…

Shut the fuck up martins my subconscious mind yelled as i swallowed the lump settled in my throat, i know i should have killed that bastard, but i can’t be behind bars for something or someone like him, the hansley doesn't deserve it.

There are trending headline now on the media talking about how Sinclair hate the hansley so much she sent her puppet to beat him up, this doesn't make sense in any way and it has adonis written all over it, that's why he didn't fight back

I knew something was up, he didn't fight back And he had the media picturing his vulnerable scene. That's why he was smiling. Next time he hosts an encounter like that, heaven knows I would make him pay, even the paparazzi wouldn't save him this time.

Nessa caused all this. She would have turned him down,now we would have laughed last and best, but all of a sudden she went ahead, giving him more access to make her mute ones more, even her cell phone.

“ why would you beat him, like what the actual fuck martins” she finally explodes, expected that much more earlier, her hands were rested on her waist now, slaps she paced around, her phone still buzzing, just seconds back she had received more calls than I have ever received in my life time.

From the media people and the people who work side by side with her, all because of a guy she had met in the past month, i had caused more harm than good, but i am just more of a load she isn't willing to let go, and god dammit i don't want to go as well,

“ Sinclair, sit down and be honest with me, would I ever do anything without a reason ? ” i could watch her confused look all day long, that's just why she doesn't want to say something to me in the first place.

“ don't you dare speak in parable”

“She growls then takes a seat, “ a lot has been going on behind your back, and it's quite sad that you are not aware of it, and i had tried clearing those mistakes for your ”, the way her brow stood could tell I had tinted her ego, she’s allergic to help even when she’s unaware of its source and reasons.

she arched a brow, her mouth pressed on a hard line, this time around her patience was at the verge of escape.

Time to drop the grenade

“ nessa is dating adonis, and now they are engaged”

“ what?!”

“ hard to believe right”

Scoffs

“ marts”

She struggles to say something but couldn’t, her fingers resting slightly in her lips, as shocks takes a toil on her face,

she doesn't say much, i watch her slowly digest all that i have said as uncertainty settles on her face, and her mind totally disorganized.

Her lips whispering words to herself, i slowly watch he, eyes turn red, as she falls in defeat, if only nessa has succeeded in making life a little bit better for us, maybe sinclair would be be this brown, i don't know who to blame anymore, nessa who follows a man she doesn't like, or a mother who knows nothing about her daughter, and so reluctant to actually put some work.

My phone dings, pulling my attention, to my hands, damn it almost slips away, an odd message drops.

‘ guess the brandons and hansleys have more than just business rival” all boldly written, , just a single thud more, i had risen , scampering into my room, what could Sinclair be hiding from me .

************************************

Nessa pov

The splashing sound of water, and masculine tone, gradually pulls me out of a dream. My subconsciousness was eager to wake up from it. It was a dream, not familiar in wonderland, but all I had thought of for a while.

A perfect life, with a perfect family of my own, but it felt too good to be true, the water stops, pulling a string of sadness , adonis was out, it's the day , the day i had feared all throughout the week, “ hey look whos up” he said placing a cold kiss on my forehead.

My warm body tucked meticulously under the duvet shivered in dingust, it had been that way all throughout the week, as all i see it the flaws in his, even his skin isn’t as flawless as it had been when we were much more younger, i no longer feel as infatuated as i did , a kiss from him makes me nauseous, and i had been nauseous for seven days now.

“ hey babe , how are you doing?” he asked , placing a kiss on my forehead again, this time, my fist clenched a hand full of sheet now, “ hey your lips are cold, quit it ” i said pushing his body away, before he gets an arousal would eventually turn down,

“ So sorry about that, why don't you take a warm bath and freshen up, maybe some radiant color might appear on your gloomy face,’ he said nonchalantly, making me roll my eyes in exasperation.

Taking my bath, and apply some color, i still don't recognize the person in the mirror, even sleeping all throughout the day, i still had saggy eyes, and hollow cheek, breakfast in bed, yet this gown feel so loose on my body, “ hey you look dead in that, baby go change it” adonis said in a husky tone pulling me out of my reverie.

I feel dead

“ try a short, you could take one of mine, maybe something to hide the bone on your shoulder” he said, swallowing the lamb buried in my throat, i took out hi trouser, which were way bigger now, even the feel in my hands, it reeks of its scent, i don't want it.

“ Nice, they would look good on you, and it will also make your mom believe we are really together, and so much in love, you had to wear my clothes, don't you think?, nodding gently, I slipped it in,while trying my best not to choke on his scent .

Martins was right all along, i was only infatuated on him, now all the lost i had adhered all this years died in two weeks, now here i am living in its casing, a facade of love, i wasn't ready to partake in, at least not now

“ well don't you look breathtaking” he said pulling me in for a hug, i inhale more of him and i think i am going to be seriously sick, “ just be a good girl, and everything will work out as planned, your mom wouldnt have an objection to it, and we would live our life, forever together”

“ forever?

“ yes “

He beams at me, making my heart beat even faster, as i tried processing the horrifying words he had just said, “ for-ever’

He repeated.

Hell no
