Go Nowhere!
After I wave goodbye to Aziel at the airport, I return home.
All the way I think about his words. So Dordrich wants to meet me again. But doesn't he realize that our relationship is only going to get more complicated now that Elena finds out? She's going to keep stalking us and having tantrums. We are constantly going to be negative in the news and that will have an impact on our companies at some point.
Elena knows what she's doing, and I can't blame her. She also thinks about her two children and doesn't want to risk Dordrich leaving one day. Dordrich and I have been guided by our strong love and hot desire for each other, forgetting everything and everyone who depended on us. Now that I am outside the relationship and far from my familiar surroundings, I can look back on our relationship soberly.
What I want to prevent is that everyone thinks that I ran out of options and that is why I have reached for Aziel. People in my immediate circle know that Aziel has been in love with me for years and now seizes his chance to draw me to him. And not vice versa. But after my failed engagement to Danner and the extramarital affair with Dordrich, it seems to the outside world I'm desperate.
After these hard setbacks, I have become wiser, more mature, soberer. I just made wrong choices when it comes to the ones I love. I never wanted to marry Danner, I saw him as a kind of insurance policy. Dordrich was the forbidden fruit I coveted, a childish whim. Aziel will be my only, eternal life partner. But not yet. I still need time to get well.
Although, women around keep reminding me that Aziel is a desirable bachelor. That Clairy tried clumsily, the dark one on the beach thought she hit the jackpot. But one thing I have to check on, Aziel will not wait for me all his life. I have to make some concessions to him to keep him near. Next time he's here, I'll talk to him about it. We have to define our relationship well, committed is a broad concept, can be interpreted in many ways.
When I get home, I go straight to my bedroom and take the phone Dordrich gave me to stay in contact with him, from the drawer. It's been shut down since the scandal. I look at it now, and I can still hear him urging me to text him as often as possible. As if in a trance I push the button to turn it on. An avalanche of messages is pouring in and there are hundreds of notifications of miscalls.
I open a random message, it was sent two days ago. "Princess, please, call me. I miss you so terribly. Tell me where you are so I can be with you." My mind becomes heavy. I miss him too, but I know meeting him again will only hurt us. I open another one. “Please, please, please. We can work this out. Don't run away from me at the first storm. Call me, Princess!'
I throw the phone on the bed and hold my head. If only I could see him one more time, be with him! My heart pounds at that thought. Just once and then definitely not again, really not anymore, I promise myself. I need this one chance.
But then I think of my promise to Aziel. He's my friend through thick and thin and I can't do this to him. He's definitely going to find out, there's nothing I can hide from him. I imagine informing him that I only want to meet Dordrich one more time. I can already predict that he will become furious and will be back in front of me in no time. Aziel will do anything to prevent me from meeting Dordrich. No, I don't want to do that to him. But I need Dordrich so badly!
Suddenly the phone rings.
It's an unknown ringtone, Dordrich only texts me on this number, when he calls he does it on my private phone. Startled, I look at the device, not quite knowing what to do with it. But I realize that if I keep it on, Dordrich can easily trace my location. I grab the device to turn it off at the same time a message comes in. ‘Loraine, take my call let's talk about our relationship. Hiding won't solve anything, babe. Talk to me. It's been so long since I heard your sweet voice," Dordrich writes. With a firm push, I turn off the device and walk to the bathroom. A bath will definitely cool my nerves.
I don't remember how I got to the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
But now, almost four hours later, I hear my phone ringing incessantly. The ringtone is the one assigned for Aziel, he’s trying to reach me. “Loraine, for God's sake! Why did it take you so long to answer your phone? I was going crazy with fear here! I already walked to the counter to come back. Why are you doing this?” Aziel's voice sounds concerned. Sleepily, I hold the device tighter. “Aziel, darling, I had fallen asleep. Why such a panic? You could have called the neighbors and Michelle would have come and had a look", I tell him.
“And why did you sleep so long? You said you'd do some work on your blog," he asks. I search for the words to tell him what's going on. “I turned on Dordrich's phone”, I say carefully.
Silence. "He misses me and wants to see me one more time to talk everything out."
And just as I expected, the storm bursts out.
“What does he want to say? His wife found out about his extramarital relationship and then it's over. What does he want to discuss? Convince you to continue the mess? Trust me, Loraine, you will be the only one getting destroyed by this, continuing this relationship is like running to your doom. You don't go meet that Dordrich! You're not going anywhere!”
Silence.
“We have an agreement! You gave your word," he adds inexorably...
