Goodbye, Mr. Ex-Husband, I Won't Come Back novel Chapter 55

PART–055

Tessa

My heart was pounding rapidly inside my chest like it’d explode any moment when he said that I was his wife and our differences actually affected him.

No words were needed between us. I could read through those eyes.

Something had shifted but I needed to hear it from him.

“Be careful with your words, Logan.” I warned him a low voice but instead of my warnings, he closed the gap between us.

“I meant what I said, Tessa. I hate it when someone tries to get close to you and it had made me realise how you would have felt when you saw me with Raelynn. We’re married, no matter what the circumstances were, our relationship comes with this natural feeling of hurt and insecurity.”

I looked away to hide my tears from him because it was true.

“But it’s too late for this realisation, Logan. The damage is already done and I have dealt with my pain.” I said without any emotion.

“I am sorry.”

Three words said with depth made me speechless.

“Logan, say it when you actually feel it otherwise this word will lose it’s value.” I said.

He lifted his hand and tucked my hairs behind my ear.

“I meant it, Tessa. I know it’s too late to ask for your forgiveness but I have hurt you, sometimes it was intentional because I knew how it’d affect you.” He said.

His nose nuzzled in my hairs.

I squeezed my eyes to let the tears fall from my eyes.

“I feel like dying when I see you both together. We can’t control our feelings, Logan. Blaming

you is useless. So, let’s save each other from this suffering.” I said and our eyes met.

“How do you want to end it, Tessa?” He asked, his fingers tracing my cheeks.

“Do you want to marry Raelynn?”

“This isn’t my answer, Tessa.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to create distance between us but he forbade it.

“Let’s file for a divorce, Logan because I can’t do it anymore. We can hide it from Kevin like this fake marriage. I want to move on and find happiness. It doesn’t have to be a man. But I

want people to respect me for who I am. I want to explore my own worth.”

His face turned icy cold and those eyes which held tenderness a moment ago, it disappeared in a flash.

“I am not divorcing you, Tessa.”

I was left flabbergasted and I could only blink my eyes at the man who said he wasn’t going to grant me a divorce.

“Logan, what is this? We both want to end this marriage now. Your happiness can finally be yours and I also want to leave with dignity.” I argued.

He left me frustrated with his bipolar answers.

“I am not going to divorce you. Do you hear me? I wanted to avoid this confrontation but since, you keep pushing me to my limits, I have to clear it.” He said in a dead serious tone.

More tears spilled from my eyes because I felt defeated.

“Why are you punishing me like this, Logan? I am tired of fighting. Please, let me live my life peacefully.” I requested him in a low voice.

“It’s you who is punishing us, Tessa. I tried to make things better between us but you’re resisting.” He said.

I looked away because just like always, there was no end of this.

“Then make a choice. It’s either me or Raelynn. You don’t love me, Logan so this choice should be easy for you just like the first time when you asked for a divorce. I don’t think someone’s decision could be changed in a few days.”

He remained quiet.

“Tessa, Lucas needs you.” He whispered.

“I know and I am always there for him but this is also a fact that if his biological mother would challenge me then I have to retreat. He’s my son but I am not his mother. This is the truth.” My heart bled when I said it.

“I wish it was easier to reach a conclusion, Tessa. The fact is I can’t see you with someone else. My blood boils whenever Adrian tries to get close to you and I can’t definitely digest a possible suitor for you. I feel jealous.”

His confession was shocking for me because I never expected him to feel jealous of any other man who came around me.

I didn’t understand whether I should feel happy or angrier because his confession was territorial in tone.

“Logan, what are you trying to say? Please, be honest.” I dared to ask.
