“Don’t scold her too much, she’s designed that way; no matter what she has gone through over the years, Maria just likes to see the good in everybody amid the darkness,”
“Yeah,” I concurred with him,” She has the ‘one woman can change the world’ bullshit personality,” I breathed, exhausted.
“It’s bullshit, however, that’s her charm. So if you don’t take good care of the rare gem you have, I’ll take her away from you – kids or not,”
“You can try but we both know she would still end up running back to me because we’re meant for each other. She’s my match made in heaven, bro and I hope you find yours too,” I said to him sincerely.
“Alright, so can you can please stop rubbing the whole thing in my face and get the hell out of here,” Eden groaned.
I patted him on the shoulder and left the Cafe, the police would do their duty soon. But there was no need, even with the charges after the investigation, Jennifer would end up in a psychiatrist for half of her life.
By the time I got to the hospital, Reina had gotten out of surgery and according to the doctors, suffered a concussion and a neck injury, nothing else – no damage to her internal body parts.
Isabella took great care of the kids and it was comforting to see them getting along with Neon. The boy would have to see a therapist once he’s discharged from the hospital, thanks to his mother’s abuse of him.
Surprisingly, Anabelle dropped by afterward but I didn’t stay to watch their interaction since I received news from the nurses that Reina has awoken and wanted to see me.
“Hey,” I came into the room and sat by her bedside, smiling warmly at her.
She didn’t reply, just kept staring at me for up to five minutes which became quite creepy.
“Reina, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face or something?” I asked and at the same time, wiped my face with my hands.
“Niles, I think I remember,” was her sudden comment.
I froze, “W-what?”
“I’ve recovered my memories,”
Emily’s point of view
I didn’t want Judy to see me in this state; weak and defeated; this was my lowest point. My pride has just being crushed and the last thing I needed was an old flame having sympathy for me.
Knowing he would be waiting for me in his car, I lowered my head and walked directly opposite from him. I was having a hard time controlling the tears blinding my eyes hence didn’t see where I was going and bumped into someone.
“I’m so sorry,” I apologized, not looking at the face of the person I hit; I don’t want their pitiful gaze. Pity was what got me into this mess in the first place.
I wiped the tears from my eyes, moving out of the victim’s way when I felt the person drag me back. How was he not satisfied with my apology?
“Look, I’m….” I glanced up and froze. It was Judy.
“You never change,” He grumbled.
I tugged my hand from his grasp, planning to walk away from him but he blocked my path.
“Why are you crying?” he asked, giving me that pitiful look I hated.
I sniffed, wiping my face once again, “Get out of my way,”
“I’m not letting you go until you tell me what’s going on,” he said firmly
“What is going on with me is none of your business,” I hissed out.
“Contrary to your belief, you know you’ve always been my business since day one we met,”
“Get out of my way you big bully,” I pushed him on the chest, he didn’t budge.
“Not unless you tell me what happened in there,”
“Why?” I huffed, ” So you can laugh and tell me you told me so’, Is that it?”
He wrinkled his forehead, “The conversation didn’t go well, did it?”
I didn’t reply.
“This is why I should have come along and I’m done with your attitude,”
“What?”
Before I could tell what he had in mind, Judy carried me off my feet while I let out a sharp yelp.
“What do you think you’re doing? I am going to scream ‘rape’, ” I threatened him.
His eyes screamed with laughter, “Sure, go ahead and shout it since we’re standing outside the building of your soon-to-be presidential husband. If the news of you seen in my arms surfaces, who did you think would suffer more? Me? The prince of the Lincolnshire kingdom and one of the eligible bachelors around? You? The wife of a politician? Or your husband? The aspiring president? Would the scandal make things easy for him? “
“Bastard! ” I spat, my blood boiling.
“Let’s make this easier for the both of us, would ya,” That being said, he carried me over to the car while I hid my face in his chest so no one recognizes me.
Yet, that was a risky move.
Rubbing my face against his chest made me realize how muscular Judy had gotten over the years and how much I missed caressing that firm abdomen. My hands itched to touch him but I clench my fist, digging my nails into it. But that wasn’t the only torment, his manly scent wafted into my nose, my stomach did a stumble.
As soon as Judy placed me in the back seat, I had already planned to escape through the other door but that smart bastard put on the child lock.
“It’s a relief to know that you haven’t lost that spark in you,” he smirked.
I snorted and looked away.
Throughout the journey, I was unresponsive to every conversation he tried to start with me. I just needed some space, doesn’t he get it.
