His question pierced into me so hard, I couldn't utter a word, I was shocked and quiet, the thought of everything came crashing down to me, I tried as much as possible to keep a calm expression, before I found myself looking at him so Intently without diverting my gaze to another direction. I tried as much as possible to keep a calm expression, before I look at him intently.
" I'm already falling for Jacob, but..." I trailed.
" I know you can never see me as the right person" he concluded with a sad expression, he was almost about to leave, the thought of losing him, made my heart clenched in pain.
"No Jacob, just that I have made a promise and I just have to fulfill that promise" I said gently, before I moved closer to him .
"Just try to understand my part Jacob, you know that I'll want us to start a family and changed that contract but I'm confused " I said with so much emotions, A smile immediately sprawl on his lips.
"Wow really, don't be scared of anything, just be you" he said, which made me took a deep breath, I found myself so engrossed in the moment with him that I can't stop myself from smiling.
"Don't have doubts about anything and not for any reason, I want you to trust me, whenever I said everything would be alright and I'll make the necessary preparations without any hindrance " he said to me, I thought for a while, I wish all that was easy.
"But where did you went to yesterday?" I tried to change the topic, he creased his brows and pinched his nose, evidently showing that he's not happy with the turn of events.
"I just went to chill with my friends is there anything wrong with that?" He asked gently.i shook my head before I said.
"But you really got me worried, you don't know how I was worried when you were not here ".
" Can we go somewhere?" He asked out of the blue, " yes why not" I said before I went to changed to a simple clothes.
When I was done, I came outside, I observed his casual yet simple outfit, he smiled while looking at me with nothing but admiration, there is that smile that I can't help, especially when he stared at me in admiration..
"Shall we go" he said like a gentleman.
When we were in the car, my attention was not there with him, but I was busy thinking about how it all happened and how it ended, the thought itself was not appealing to me, I tried as much as possible to forget about everything, but I just couldn't no matter how hard I tried.
"Did you really love me..."I trailed "like did you really mean it, when you say you love me"I asked him, he turned to look at me almost like he was confused why I had asked that question.
"Of course you know I do" he said.
I couldn't utter a word before I nodded and turned my direction towards the window.
I hate the fact that I'm taking this decision, but I can't help it, I just have to take this decision, no matter how hard it is.
After we came back, from where he had intended of taking me to.
After sometime, I decided to keep mute, the feeling of tranquility swept through me, I just wanted to be free from the thoughts of pain.
"Please I need to rest" I said before I went towards the bedroom, my heart was beating so erratically and I really want to get the opportunity to talk to my friend, she has been away for a while, for that reason, I decided to make use of my laptop before I called her, she immediately picked.
I drew in a deep breath, while I observed her physical features, her long blonde hair was cupped in a ponytail with the evidence of her emerald green eyes.
" You look beautiful as always" I commented with an evident sad expression, anyone can easily detect that I was feeling so sad, I took a deep breath, while trying to get my shits together, the Only thing that matters to me at the moment was how to cope with the situation.
"I heard that you are no longer single, but married right, but not with just anyone, but to your high school bestie" she giggled to her words, I find smiling chuckling as well, the way she said it was very funny.
"Yes that's it baby girl but..." I trailed, but I was not brave enough to continue with my sentence, I took a deep breath, while trying to wrap my head around the whole situation Before I let out a sigh of frustration.
" What's wrong baby girl, besides how is the relationship between you and Aiden" she asked , I stared intently at her through the laptop screens.
" He's fine, but I'm confused, like I don't know what else to do" I said already frustrated.
"Please don't hide anything from me, just be confident and tell me whatever it's bothering you".
"It's Aiden, he's threatening me, that I shouldn't fall for my husband because..." I trailed once again.
"Because you are already falling for him" she continued my unspoken words.
" No...not that, just that ".
"You don't need to hide anything from sweetie, I can see it in your eyes..."she pursed, while she let out a sigh Before she asked .
" Have you confess how you feel about him?".
I shook my head, my heart was already beating so fast just from the thought of telling him how I feel, I just hate the fact that I have to tell him how I feel, but I can't tell him yet because I have already promised Aiden, and I don't have any other options.
" I know you are hiding something from me, sweetie don't hide anything from me, I know you are hiding something from me".
She is my friend and I know she can detect my emotions at a single glance, I took a deep breathe, because I know I just have to tell her.
"We have already made a deal with Aiden, for that reason I have to let go of Jacob after the six months of marriage".
"What!!" I heard Jacob exclaimed
