Two people loved each other. No, let me rephrase it. Two people never loved each other. They hated. But fate played the game and they were forced to get married to each other. Will this marriage full of hate ever amount to real love.
"Why are you here after so many years??" he asked. I could sense anger.
"I'm here.. And I'll stay here.. Its not your hotel mister" I retorted
He came near me and grabbed my waist. I tried moving back but his strong arms were not allowing me to.
"Please- please leave me," I said helplessly.
"Huh, so now you're scared?" he asked shamelessly.
"Please let me go!"
"Go..but you'll regret what you did Ms. Marie Smith"
"What-whatever.."
He left me and I ran away.
ā
I ran away. He followed me. I couldn't reach the hotel room's door, and he locked the door.
"What's your problem, Mr. Adrien? Did I even say anything???"
"You'll regret what you did three years ago," he said.
He came to me. I started going back. He moved forward. I went back and now I was between the wall and him.
"Now where will you go?"
"You! Leave me!"
"And what If I don't!"
"....." I didn't have an answer. He's so strong. I'm nothing.
"Will you go to your boyfriend?"
"What boyfriend?"
"Don't act like that"
"I don't have anyone, Adrien. Please leave me"
"You know I love you"
"But I don't, Adrien. If you love me then why are you forcing your love on me!"
"I never forced you nor will I ever.."
"Just look at what you're doing right now"
He got away immediately as if he never wanted to force me.
"I'm sorry but I can't take it, Marie," he said in a low tone.
"What can you not take?"
"Loving you and being hated. Loving you and being betrayed" he said and started crying. For the first time, I saw him weak.
"I didn't betray you, Adrien, you did"
"I don't think this is the right time to talk" he said and went away.
I don't know what he's thinking. He betrayed me all these years and now he came and told me he loves me? Even he said that I betrayed him? Is he serious? I should be the one crying. I have no one in this world.
Why did he come so suddenly after complete three years? Did he know... How have I cut these years? Without him, without anyone? And now... He's here forcing his love on me. After what he did... I don't love him anymore. I hate him. I can't love anyone. My belief in love has totally vanished. And it'll never return. Never.
***************
I slept. I waited for the next day. Fortunately, there were no nightmares. Otherwise, every night was haunted. With his thoughts, with my parent's thoughts...
I went out. I'll tell you about me. After his betrayal, I became weak, and eventually, I became strong. I worked hard and became a businesswoman. My business is small, but it's what keeps me busy and happy, away from sad thoughts. I reached my office. I'm the CEO. This is a small company. But, everyone respects me and everyone is hard working.
"Mam, there is someone who wants to meet you," said Maya, my PA.
"Get them in," I said.
He came inside.
Adrien. Why does he not go away?? What is he doing here!
"Miss CEO, I have an important issue to talk about," he said in a formal voice.
"What are you doing here Adrien," I asked, quite angry and annoyed by being followed by him.
"Why did you did that, Marie, why?"
"We're at the office"
"Do you want me to come to your hotel?"
"I don't know, Adrien. Just go away. I don't want to see you"
"Answer me," he said in a low voice. I sensed that this was the calmness before the thunder.
"Adrien, this is not an appropriate place".
"I don't give a fuck about the appropriate place I just want to know why you did that to me!" he shouted. Everyone in the company heard it. We're not so rich to buy soundproof doors.
"Are you here to insult me, Adrien??"
"Don't take it that way"
"Just shut up," I shouted.
"Maya!" I called Maya.
"Yes mam?" she came inside and was quite scared by all that shouting and that harsh voice of him.
"Take him out"
She looked at him. I noticed something. She was shivering. Shivering from fear. He got up.
"You don't need to do that," he said calmly to me and Maya at the same time. He went out.
Why is he always like this? This can't go on. I have to solve this. Today.
I went out of the office. I told my PA to manage some work and also to inform me of anything important.
I went to my hotel room. I searched through my contacts. There he was. I called him, fearlessly.
"Why did you call me," he asked
"Come to my hotel. I want to talk to you" I said and cut the call.
I waited for him. Somewhere in my heart, I feared. I don't know why, but I'm afraid when he's near me. When we're alone. Oh god. Why did I call him? I'm stupid.
He came in five minutes. I opened the door.
"What is it, that you want to talk about"
"Don't follow me everywhere I go. Forget me. Please"
