Billionaire's Love novel Chapter 41

Alissa

I saw him flipping pancakes from the living room. He looked like a Greek god. But I really wanted to go to him and punch him on his face hard. I looked around and saw that this house was different not the one in which I was before. He brought pancakes neatly in two plates. He kept the plate in front of me and the other one on the opposite of me. He sat there and I quickly picked up the knife and the fork and started to eat. I was starving. He looked at me like he wanted to say something. I could see through his eyes. I noticed his face and it was looking dull. He had black patches under his eyes and he was looking so tired. His eyes which used to remain so shiny lost it's shine.

"Is this your second home?" I asked finally breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah. I come here sometimes" he said looking down at his plate while I nodded.

I noticed the interior and it was much better than the other house. It had much furniture and more simple colors. The other one contains more gothic colors.

"So how have you been?" I asked although I knew what the answer was going to come.

"No Alissa. How can you expect me to be okay when I am getting married to a girl I don't even love. And I missed you terribly" he said and I could see what he was saying was true.

But you are the one because of whom I cried!!!

I took the last bite of my pancake and quickly swallow it. I was trying to force back the tears which were threatening to come. I didn't wanted to look like a loser in front of him. I don't want to show him that I've been craving for a boy to love me. It would be embarrassing.

"What do you think Eric that this apology will make it better? You made me feel like a stupid that night" I said trying hard not to shout at him. But that urge of shouting was slowly winning over my cool sentiments.

"Don't say like this. I am trying to make things better. I don't want to leave you but........" He trailed off at the end.

"But?" I asked.

"You won't understand" he said.

"Maybe I will" I pushed.
