Chapter 125: The last of us
Amaris POV
I felt heavy, standing on the bridge and waiting. It's been 5 months apart and I learnt he was in search of me.
It got me worked up as I couldn't even have the peace of mind I seek because it's Caleb everywhere.
How could he place a random on my head like I was some kind of criminal just to find me.
It pisses me off and I couldn't take this any longer. He wants to see me, then I'd see him.
I kicked a foot, cussing and frustrated not until I heard a voice calling me from a distance.
Rolling my eyes, I could see him, Caleb, running at me. I almost got flustered with the way he waved, raced and pants heavily.
He looked unkept and his eyes sags, a testament that he barely had enough sleep.
I placed my hands on my stomach, swallowed hard and kept staring at him with so much hate and grief at him.
The way he ran, his sober face and when he was close, he embraced me. I could feel it, his tears dripping as he squeezed me in his arms.
He reeks of alcohol and I felt like retching and my face squeezes. I didn't want my emotions to burst out because I can't go back to being with him.
"Let me go...Caleb" i muttered but he kept embracing.
"Please amaris, let's stay this way" he said, his voice barely above a whisper, his voice choked with tears.
I folded my fist, my breath thickens as I flare up with rage and resentment.
However, I pushed him away, gasping. He was the best and still the worst and he was a dick.
He sniffed, exhaling deeply as he couldn't control those tears.
"Amaris" he called almost grabbing my hand but I stepped away, frighten of him as I pant softly.
He clenched his fist, his sober eyes stared at me as it seems as though he'd pass out.
"It's good to see you in good health" he said with a sided smile like he was forced to put a mask on.
It's not Caleb, he wouldn't be concerned and was properly putting on an act which pisses me off.
I wouldn't be deceived again as he always does. This time around, I'd make it about me not him.
I exhaled, nodded with a straight face. He maintained the distance I required.
I took his ring out of my bag, with a doleful look at him and I threw it at his face.
He widened his eyes with disbelief as he caught it quick before it would crash to the ground.
He stood still as though reminiscing over a lot of things as his eyes just stared wistfully at the ring resting on his palm .
"It's over, so stop this awkward search about me like a missing person" I petitioned, feeling pain at heart.
It just the way life goes and the memories still haunts me, his abuse, his arrogance which I can't handle again.
I fell in love, yes even though it was just based on the fact that he always tries to claim me but then, he always proves who he is, a monster.
"Please, amaris give me a chance, I've realize my mistake, I swear to treat you better..."
"Caleb, they can never be an us, I can't give you a chance, perhaps, this time around you'd burn me"
He suddenly went on his knees, shut his eyes and tears stream down.
"Amaris don't say it's over"
I was stunned as he held my hand forcing me to look at him, the sincerity in his eyes.
However, it won't measure up to the pain he had caused me. It would take time to heal.
For my unborn child, i'd protect her from him and he can't do anything about it.
It breaks me that it would end this way. I might not feel real but it's okay, i'd come over it.
Hopefully, he doesn't send someone to kill me. I drew my wrist from him and stepped back.
"I'm sorry, please, I'd make it up, amaris, I'd work on myself.
"Just stop talking!" I roared breathing hard. My blood pressure shoots up as I tried not to shed tears as I was so grief that I wish to consume him in my fury.
"Just get up" I barked but he was still there, not wanting to let me go.
"Please don't leave me" he added, folding the ring in his palm. That's just me, trust me I like to slam doors close and life moves on.
I know it hurts his pride to go on his knees to beg but then, he was left with no other opinions.
He kept saying things he'd make up for and had realized his mistake. I stood calm, my eyes pierced at his as I couldn't tell if he was sincere or just putting on a show to have me back in his arms.
"Celeb" i called in a low tone, while clenching my grip on the handbag I was holding.
"Yes?" He whispers with a sullen face at me.
"If we ever had a daughter and she had an abusive partner who keeps apologizing and kicking her...what would you do?" I muttered in a low tone as tears clouded my eyes.
His lips trembles as he bow his head in shame I guess, his hands fell as he couldn't answer that question.
"I'd beg her to leave him" he affirms and I nodded. That was just what I wanted to hear.
He'd never know I have a child for him. I felt embittered, closing my eyes that it had to end this way.
"Then caleb, I'd want you to let me too, it's the only way I can forgive you" I added added as my tears threaten to stream down.
He raised his eyes look at me. His look was dull and weary as his mouth opened and close.
His entire body tends to vibrates as he almost uttered another line but I quickly shut him because I wasn't ready for anymore lies that he might have probably cooked up.
"And don't think of abducting me...I'd kill myself" I threatened as he wasn't moving.
However, it was best I walk out of this place before breaking down.
I paced faster, covering my mouth with my palm and crying while I hurried to get out of his sight.
A chauffeur was waiting for me and I quickly got in. Wiping my tears and before the chauffeur starts driving, I took a glimpse at him...he was still there, in that position.
