Chapter 141: Confession 2
Amaris's POV
I was speechless for a while with how he was so good with catching me off guard.
"I'm afraid you might lose your life with your demand"
He brushed my cheek with his thumb and winked at me.
"I'm prepared for that"
His voice this time made me hot and my eyes were wondering off to wherever it wanted to but with this man.
"So what's your ambition secretary?" He diverted and I snapped back, rubbing my chest and bringing my hand down.
What do I say? To crumble him which might be almost impossible.
I took my hand down and inhaled.
"To be happy" I responded with sincerity in my eyes and he smiled.
Lately, he has been smiling and that was something so enthralling and seducing.
"If only the world had no wishes but that, I think it would be peaceful" he responded.
I heaved slowly moving my eyes away from him.
"Yeah"
"It's a beautiful ambition and I hope, I'd be a part of it someday" he responded and I literally forgot I was mad at him.
He walked back inside and in a short while he appeared with a tray holding a jug and two tea cups.
He beckoned on me to have my seat and I did with a happy look on my face.
We both served ourselves the tea and I complimented it.
"Thank you, I had to learn from an annoying secretary milady" he responded and I scoffed.
He was indirectly referring to me when he always disturbs me to prepare him tea because of his long day and I plainly refuse him but after been forced, I come up with something unique.
"Now that we're at it, how was your childhood Caleb"
I began a new conversation, having no reason why I said that. I didn't want this moment to end and bringing up some talks about life was all i needed.
He face suddenly grew sober as he let out a hysterical grin, his hands are twirling the cup in his hand.
"Trust me, you wouldn't want to know"
"There's no harm in knowing, I've survived the vilest of act before"
He grimanced at me and then sigh as though contemplating if to go on.
"It's quite traumatizing and not something to talk about" he said again and I was getting hurt already because his voice had a doleful tons mixed with it.
"Mind to share? at least, you don't have to die with it" I mused not liking the fact that he was putting me in suspense.
I was already intrigued to know, judging from how sad he had grown.
He dart his eyes to and fro, still contemplating if to speak.
"Go on Caleb, it's safe with me"
He ducked his head at me and then pulled a mockery face.
"Oh, I never knew I had a therapist this close, interesting"
"Now that you know, go on with whatever you want to say" I ushered folding my lips and pinning my fingers together, seriously wanting to hear what he has to say.
"Alright, I ran away from home...abuse, certainly" he began and I heaved deeply. I see where that part of him is coming from.
"I swear never to be like him, but then, I was worst and I wish I... could be... different" he whispered, his voice breaking as though he was trying to as his tears.
I was sad too, wanting to learn everything there is to know about this man who I shouldn't just judge.
"He killed her, my mom"
He laughed trying to hide his grief as tears clouded his eyes.
"I tried to save her but it was useless and that's why i ran away like a coward but i was found, returned to find a new family"
Now I see why he had a strained relationship with his parents and I grew more sober wanting to console him as this was heartbreaking.
I also felt like weeping when he narrated his tale.
"I told myself I could be different and through struggles, I built an empire..." There was a pause in that line as his eyes were now staring at the tea in his cup.
"And out of the blue, he shows up like nothing was ever wrong...i wish he got punished for his act but no, the law just supports the powerful"
"I couldn't get justice for my mom, it's so heartbreaking!" He laments tightening his grip on the tea cup and I suck my breath.
My body had turned cold and I was searching is eyes for more.
"I was stupid to think I wouldn't end like him...I almost ripped you apart" he cried dropping his tea cup and then covered his face with his palms.
I stood up and moved to his couch to sit with him, he was so depressed letting out.
He was so sincere and this was heartbreaking.
"I don't deserve anyone in my life and I don't blame you if you want to go away"
I stroke his back and exhaled softly.
His hands rubbed his soft hair as I folded my lips.
"Everyone has their flaws, the bravest person is one who learns from their mistakes"
He dropped his palms and I saw those tears that he had bottled in.
"Do you think so?" He asked with a curious gaze at me and I let out a smile that felt like a healing.
"Yes Caleb, and if you really want to be different, why don't you prove it?" I whispers in a soothing voice.
"But you don't even believe I can change, who else would believe in me?" He said in a bitter tone and I bite my lower lips.
My eyes settled on him as we were speechless. I cupped his cheeks with a sided smile.
"Keep proving until I see a reason to come back" i whispered and captured his lips, I wasn't holding back again.
I parted his lips, kissing it with every breath in me, our tongues clashes as his hands covered the small of my back.
We breath and twirl each other lips and I was horny. It was passionate, wild and long that I just couldn't hide the fact that I wanted him to place me on bed.
