Chapter 208: Revenge and Jealousy
Amaris's POV
I grew unnaturally still watching them from a distance and those aren't even his parents.
I folded my fists, heart broken. Why is she still alive? After fucking Flynn, he is meant to be here, to kill her at least.
They were too happy together and that's killing me. I placed my hands in my coat pocket, glaring at them all through the window.
However, I had to turn around when his supposed mother walked out of the ward. She didn't even notice me as she seems to be in a haste.
What do I do, speak ill of Mia? I adjusted my collar and catwalked after her.
"Excuse me ma'am" I called and she halt her steps while taking a glimpse at me.
"Yes?" She responded but her eyes glanced at her wristwatch.
"I..."
"If it's nothing urgent, can we talk later, I have to attend to my son's needs..."
"No it's about Mia, I think your son is in danger"
She narrowed her gaze at me and I guess I have gotten her attention, just the way I wanted.
"I was once a friend of hers and I don't the same fate that happened to my husband to happen to your son" i pressed on swallowing hard while heaving a sigh.
"How is my son's life in danger when she saved him?" She muttered furrowing her brows at me.
I shook my head and intended to explain but she suddenly pat my shoulder.
"Everyone has their flaws girl and no one is safe, as long as there's love, they'd protect each other" she pressed on and smiled broadly at me.
"She's a whore and..."
"I know, she opened up to me and that's why I like the more, i don't want to lose my son but I have to keep her" she cuts in, grimanced and walked away.
I stood shocked for a moment as she took me by surprise. What kind of a woman is she?
I growled and intended to return to the ward when I suddenly saw Mia coming out.
Her gaze softens at me. She slowed her steps and got to me.
I was frowning at her as she didn't look sober but looking at me straight in the eyes.
"You just stole my life" I barked charged and she rolled her eyes.
"I'm tired of denying it but now, I'm done hiding and this is me falling in love amaris"
"What?"
"You chose your life with Flynn and if you truly wanted to wait, you would have forever" she responded and i widened my eyes at her.
She wasn't even feeling guilty but staring like she was excited to taunt me with that look.
"What! You're admitting that you took Caleb away from me?"
She let out a frustrated sigh.
"I'm inviting you for my wedding too and it would be a real one" she pressed on, her eyes scruntized me to and fro as my voice ceased for a moment.
"And amaris, this isn't about you... it's Caleb's life and his memories are back. He chose who he wants to be with"
I was fuming in my heart as her statement only makes me raged.
She intended to walk pass me but I pushed her back with a glare.
I almost hit her but she held my hand and then bent her head silently with a bright smile.
"Accept it amaris...you lost, and he is willing to make it a friendly breakup... sometimes look at yourself in the mirror and ask where you went wrong"
She forcefully dropped my hand and I scoffed at her.
"Stop acting childish, if he can't be yours...then remain as cool friends rather than losing him"
"Like how you seduced Flynn!"
"He shouldn't have fallen for it then if he truly loves you!"
"What?"
I just kept asking that because she wasn't the Mia I know anymore. Now she was defending herself in front of me which sounded bizzare and shocking.
My breath caught in my throat as my eyes glanced at her with disbelief.
"Stop this madness now amaris and give up, I've made my choice, I'm staying with Caleb"
I felt so heartbroken by her declaration and I felt like exploding as tears brewed up in my eyes.
"You're so heartless"
"And you're a villianess...I chose my happiness now and nothing of what you say will change it"
I froze as I couldn't breath any longer. My eyes narrowed at her as I scoffed, trying to hide my fear because her declaration came in as a blow and I keep falling for it everytime.
Unfortunately, I am at lose and the fact that Caleb would be taken away from me again makes me sick and I was just staring at her.
Sadness enveloped me as the shocking truth is that i'd never win against her. What do they see in her?
She wasn't the hottest, sexiest or prettiest. Why can't I be seen the same way?
I clenched my fists. This isn't over. However, I only nodded stuttering backward and then turned around to run away from there.
***
I found myself staring at the mirror with so much tears in my eyes.
"What's my fault?" I questioned but my mind was void of thoughts as the answers I wish for weren't coming.
It just made me look like a fool because when I first came home, it was the mirror I was staring at.
Depression wears me and I felt like killing myself. This wasn't me. I can't become the villain she thinks of me as.
I just want to go up and never come down, to have my moments and feel everything that has to do with Caleb.
At a point, I intended to give up trying to break them apart but then I still love him, I feel insulted, I feel like a fool and I hated being challenged by her.
I sat still at my image and after a while of getting myself together. I placed a call and then when it got answered, I said;
"We have a wedding to disrupt"
