Chapter 14

I STAY where I stand. I couldn't stop myself anymore and my tears were already dripping. I wiped it with my palm and Clyde turned to look at my band.

I saw his eyes widen when he saw me standing.

"N-Nathania?" It quickly ran to my whereabouts.

"Why are you crying? Are you fine-" I shook his hand when he was about to hold my hand.

"Don't touch me." I wiped away my tears again.

"Nathania-"

"I want to leave this place." I nodded and avoided looking at him.

I felt it stare at me. He was silent for a moment before sighing.

"What did you hear?" He asked so I stared at him again.

"Everything." I answered and forced myself to be brave in front of it.

He took a deep breath and wiped his face with his hand. He nodded and stared at me intently.

"Nathania, let me explain-"

"I've heard enough Clyde. I don't want to hear your explanations and lies." I turned my back on it. I was about to walk away when he grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

"Clyde let me go!-"

"No, Nathania! You have to listen to me. We have to talk."

"I really don't want to talk to you! What else are you going to say? Are you going to lie again? What are you going to tell me? Are you going to tell me again that you love me? Is it okay, Clyde. I don't want to be with a liar like you anymore. Get me off this island! " He let go of my arm.

"You're wrong, Nathania. Daniella is just nothing to me." I faked a laugh at what he said.

"Nothing? I heard you say you love him, Clyde. Don't add any more lies to me." Its jaw tightened.

"Just listen to me first!" I was stunned when it screamed.

I fell silent suddenly and did not move.

"Listen to my explanation first! You don't know the truth Nathania-"

I didn"t finish him and I slapped him.

"Don't yell at me, Clyde. You have no right to yell at me. Also don't say I don't know the truth. I know very well Clyde. I know the truth that you're just lying. You're pretending. You said you love me, but the truth is not. You love someone else. " I finally turned my back on it and walked away.

As I walked fast I felt its footsteps following me.

"Nathania, please listen to me first." I did not answer him and continued walking.

"Nathania-"

"Stop me Clyde! I shouldn't be the one you're talking to right now. You should talk to and coax your fiancée! Go back to her because you've been looking for her over and over again. Also apologize to her because you also lied to her. You said you didn't have a woman with you here, but the truth is there is. I'm with you. Tell him the truth that your partner is with you. And that partner is me! " Tears came out of my eyes so I immediately wiped them away.

"I'm not hooking you Nathania!"

"No way? I'm not stupid, Clyde. You already have a fiancée. You're getting married. You're getting married to Daniella so go back to your fiancée! Get me out of here! I want to leave this island! In place na'to! " I stopped walking and faced him.

"The s-sick Clyde." I could no longer hold back and tears continued to flow down my face.

"I-I thought you were real. You said you loved me but it wasn't true-"

"I love you, Nathania! I really feel for you!" I was shaken by what he said.

"After all I've heard? It's hard to believe you, Clyde. It's hard to believe what you're saying." I opened my bedroom door and slammed it shut.

I locked the door and leaned against it.

I slowly slipped while crying. I cried silently and rubbed my stomach.

IM pregnant. I shouldn"t be sending out my emotions. I shouldn"t be sending out my anger. That hurts the child.

I heard a knock from the law.

"Nathania. I'm sorry. I know you're mad at me right now. You still can't listen to my reasons, so I'll let you put out the heat of your head first until you can listen to me." It stopped for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Please ... Calm down first. You're pregnant. Maybe you'll fail because you're mad at me. Please, Nathania. I have my reasons. I admit, I lied to you. But I never lied when I said I love you. My love towards you is true, Nathania. Cool down first, 'then I'll explain to you. " There was silence for a few seconds after he said that. Moments later I heard its receding footsteps.

I looked up and wiped away my tears.

I no longer know what to do, Clyde. I don't know if I will believe you or not.

I got up and went to my bed. I lay there and stared at the ceiling.

My heart hurts.

I wanted to tell him everything I was upset about but I couldn't. I can not do it. I'm scared.

I can"t say everything I"m upset about because I"m driven by my chest pain. Because of the pain I was feeling, it was as if I could no longer speak. All I wanted was to cry and cry until I fell asleep and temporarily forgot about the pain. I thought I would be happy to be with Clyde and our future child. I thought there was no problem yet to come.

What they say is really true.

After the fun, there is sadness in return.

My heart hurts so much. All I could do was cry.

I want to know the reasons for this. But I don't know if I will ever believe him.

I don"t know if after he says his explanations I will believe or not. I think I was traumatized by its lies.

The trust I had placed in him he destroyed once again.

I woke up to hear knocks from outside my room. I looked out the window and saw that it was night. I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep crying earlier.

"Nathania." It knocked again.

"I know you're listening. It's late. You have to eat. You can't go hungry. It will be with you and the baby. So please, eat now. I cooked. Go out and come down. Or do you want me to bring the food here? " I did not answer and stood up. I went to the door and opened it. Clyde and I met face to face and stared.

"Step aside." I said in a cold voice. It stepped aside and gave way to me. I walked towards the dining area. I found the food served on the table. I immediately sat down while Clyde followed behind me.

Silently I began to eat. I could feel him staring at me but I wasn't affected. I continue to eat.

A few minutes later, we still had no urine. I heard its sigh a few times but I ignored it.

When I finished eating I immediately got up and put the plate in the sink. I washed my hands and went to the refrigerator to get some milk. Just as I closed, Clyde was standing behind me.

"Let's talk." He said but I shook my head. I passed him and walked up again. He still complied.

"Nathania, let's talk. I don't want to sleep, knowing that you're mad at me. I don't want to sleep mad at me."

"But can you sleep in your bed while your fiancée is alone and you're not with her? You're her fiancée, you should be by her side. I suggest you go home to your fiancée." I emphasized the word fiancée and stared.

"Nathania, this is not about me and Daniella. It's about me and you. We need to fix this. I don't want you to be mad at me." I stopped and faced him.

"Fix this? Clyde, we don't have to fix anything because we don't have a relationship. Yes, I'm mad at you. If there's anything worse than the word anger, that's how I feel about you!"

"What's no relationship? You're my girlfriend!" I laughed at his answer.

"Girlfriend? I didn't know I was your girlfriend. You didn't tell me. I didn't inform you that I was your girlfriend while Daniella was your fiancée. Wow, are you loving? You already have Nathania, you still have Daniella! How handsome you are! " There was a mixture of sarcasm in my voice and I stared.

"Nathania, you don't understand-"

"I really don't understand Clyde! I don't understand your attitude! You're so lying! You're so good at turning people around! You're so good at pretending in front of people! You're so quick to hurt me!" I don't know how many times I've done this but tears came out of my eyes again.

He rubbed his face with his palm and kissed her. It averted its gaze and took a deep breath.

"Can you listen to me first? Please, give me time to explain my side." His voice was weak and when he looked at me again his eyes were red. My eyes widened slightly and I was stunned.

Will she cry?

"Please? Listen to me first." There was a pleading in its voice, causing me to look away.

The pain of seeing the person you love pleading and begging in front of you.

I cupped my palm and sighed.

"Two minutes. Two minutes for your explanation." I forced my voice to be cold. There is no emotion on my face.

He took another deep breath and sneezed.

"I admit, I lied." It started so I barely looked up.

"I lied to you. I lied to Daniella. But believe me, I never lied when I said I love you, Nathania. Yes, I lied. I hid from you about Daniella, but I had a reason!" It stopped and sighed.

"I'm just using her for my business." There I looked at him again. Our eyes reached out and stared intently.

"His father is one of my business partners. Two years ago, our company stole 150 million. The amount of money we lost at that time. We don't know the suspect. We have no idea who the people are. behind that theft.The cleanliness of their work.We have no holes to see.They have planned the theft in the company.A few months later, we still have no lead.For two years we have spent our hours in the investigation until we had evidence.One of the thieves was Daniella's father.Actually, they are many.And they are all my business partners.They are traitors.Are they so desperate to bring down the company Worst, Daniella's father is the mastermind. We can't believe it because Dad and Daniella's father are best friends. But, the truth is he wants to own our company. But sad to say, he failed. Our company is still one of the successful company in the world. " He shrugged his shoulders.

"Until now, they are still my business partners. I'm acting like I don't know anything. But the truth is they don't realize that I'm slowly bringing them down. I'm doing my revenge. And being Daniella's fiancée is one of my revenge. I planned to have an engagement with her, and then after that I will dump her. Her father was happy to get us engaged but the truth is that it was just one of my plans. He thought , when we get married he will be a big part of the company. But no. They use me, I use them more. If they deceive me, I deceive them more. If they bring me down, I bring them down more. " It held my hand tightly.

"But then you came, Nathania. All my evil plans back then I wanted to end because of you. I can't bear to see you angry with me just because I'm doing this. I'm very sorry. I promise, come back again and again In Manila, I will end everything. I will end everything. There is no sin that will happen to Daniella and me because it will never happen. I don't love her. I lied to her. I don't really love her. I will end my revenge on them. I love you Nathania and I don't want you to get involved in my trouble. Please, forgive me for lying to you. I hope you'll understand me. "

I STARED into Clyde's eyes. I fell silent after hearing all its explanations.

"P-Please talk, Nathania." I closed my eyes sharply and woke up again.

"Why do you have to take revenge if you can put them all in jail?" I asked in a low voice and stared at him again.

"I was driven by anger. I wanted to show them that it was wrong for us Salvadores to collide." Its jaw tightened which made me gasp.

"You don't have to involve Daniella. Yes, I'm mad at that woman but you're still doing it wrong, Clyde. Why did you even think of engaging with her?"

"It's because I want revenge." I shook my head in protest at what he said.

"Revenge is a sin." I spoke in a serious voice so he bowed.

"I know. I'm just angry so I did all that. I'm sorry. No wedding will happen between Daniella and me. It's ... It's you that I want to marry, Nathania." My chest throbbed rapidly at the last thing it said.

"A-What?"

"Nathania, I want to marry you. I want to spend my whole life with you." I feel like it"s proposing to me.

Instead of paying more attention to what he said, I just shook my head.

This is not the right time.

"I want to go back to Manila." I change.

"Are you still mad at me?" He asked but I just shrugged.

"I'm still mad at you even though I've heard your explanation. I'm mad at your useless decisions. Really Clyde? You don't have to take revenge. Just put them in jail to finish." I said in disgust so he sighed.

"And what will people say who knows that Daniella Monroe is already engaged to you and then you suddenly announce that the wedding won't go ahead? You know your name will be ruined, Clyde."

"I don't care about my goddamn name, Nathania. There will be no wedding. My only plan really is to get engaged to Daniella and also bring out the stench of it. I have so many s*x videos of her with her boys "That's enough to ruin them forever." My lips quivered at what I heard.

"S-S*x videos?" I stuttered the question.

He nodded. "Yes, wanna see it?" He grinned so I immediately kicked him.

"Did you watch?" My eyes narrowed. He nodded slowly as if embarrassed so I was bored again.

"Good to watch?" There was sarcasm in my voice so he scratched his head so hard.

"You taste better." I kicked it again which made him laugh.

"Rude."

"Only to you, Nathania ..." I stared at him and nodded.

"Maybe you forgot, I'm still angry and disgusted with you and your rudeness won't work for me." I blinked again.

"What if I'll strip in front of you? Will you forgive me?" There was a smirk on its lips so the third time I kicked it again.

"We're serious, Clyde. Don't mix it with profanity-"

I was stunned when it suddenly took off its outer garment in front of me.

"Clyde!" I shouted but he just shook his head.

"Forgive me?" It's like having 'puppy eyes'.

"Give back your clothes!" He shook his head again.

"Forgive me first ..."

"What do you think? I'll forgive you even if you're not wearing clothes? Where are you!" I raised an eyebrow but he just grinned.

"Maybe you'll forgive me if I get naked here ..." He grabbed her pants and right down when I shouted.

"Bastos! Stupid!" I shouted and hurriedly ran into my room. I even heard his loud laughter so I just stepped on it with great annoyance.

We talked seriously at first but suddenly ended up stripping. That Clyde is really stupid! Ambastos!

I locked the door and headed to bed. I want to sleep again ...

I lay down and closed my eyes. I just realized that I was sleeping soundly.

I just woke up when I felt someone caress my face.

I slowly opened my eyes and found Clyde smiling and caressing my face.

"Hi. Sorry, if I woke you up." My eyes narrowed and I stood up.

"I locked that door so how did you get in?" I asked but he just smiled and showed me the key.

"I have my key." He said this arrogantly so I stared at him.

"I cooked our breakfast. Let's eat ..." He suddenly hugged me from behind so I was stunned. Instead of protesting, I just let him hug me.

"How are we, please?" There was a pleading in his voice so I just gasped.

I'm really fragile.

"You're tired like this, Clyde. We're always arguing."

"I'm sorry. Forgive me please?" He put his head on my shoulder.

My heartbeat quickened. I could feel the heat of his body. I grabbed his arm wrapped around my stomach and caressed it lightly.

"I forgive you ... again." I turned to face him and stared at him.

"I forgive you again so get organized. Maybe the next time you lie to me, I might stay away from you again. I won't show and introduce you to our son when you lie again." I warned he was nodding.

"Yes maam! Thank you for forgiving me again. I love you-" Immediately his face approached me and kissed my lips.

When his lips parted from mine I gripped his hands tightly and stared at him intently.

"Trust is very important in a relationship. Let's be honest to each other, Clyde. When we are both true and there are no lies in our relationship, we will be strong. Our trust in each other will not be destroyed when we are honest. So please Clyde, don't lie anymore. I don't want us to fight all the time. It's exhausting. " I leaned my head on his chest. I felt it caress my back.

"Promise. This time, I'll keep my promise. I love you, Nathania."

"Just make sure. Besides, when I see that Daniella calling and meeting you, I'll really kick your manhood." I heard him laugh.

"Not my friend please, maybe when you kick no one will make you happy." I pinched his side which made him shiver.

"As if you're the only man in the world." I was joking so when he grabbed both my shoulders to face him I laughed out loud.

"Don't you ever try to find another man, Nathania. I can kill." It was threatening and stared at me.

"You'll be jailed if you kill, Clyde." I smiled to say that he was annoyed.

"So you're planning to find another man? Why? Am I not enough?" I laughed even harder at his questions.

"Just kidding!" I kissed his lips.

"Don't you every try, Nathania."

"I'll never look for anyone else! Maybe you? There's still Daniella around you. Worst, you've even become a fiancée." I was the one who stared at him now.

Daniella was even better, she became his fiancée. Am I right?

I felt annoyed at the thought. Clyde laughed softly and hugged me again.

"Don't worry, it's my fault."

To be continued...
