Care?
Aiden
The anger that jolted in me as I recalled him kissing Mandy right in front of Christian made me kick the air. So this was his plan all along, this was why he returned, this was why he was here in the first place. He wasn’t just talking to me alone because he knew or cared, he wasn’t going out with me cause he looked my way, and he was just fucking using me.
I had my suspicions, I thought about it but I told myself it wasn’t true. Then he was all about getting updates on Christian’s life and that of Mandy as well. But because I was clouded with my love for him, I did it without any questions. I truly believe he was here for me. He came back and spoke to me first because he knew I didn’t tag him as the bad guy, I still cared for him regardless.
I walked to my computer and checked on the tracker I placed in his coat the last time he had dinner with me. I sent the location to my phone and immediately got into my car.
I was going to have a serious talk with him and confirm my suspicions of him keeping Mandy forcefully.
A few hours later I arrived at the cottage which was a distance away from the city. I looked around noticing a few people around the place. I wouldn’t go through the front door, so I stared at the place and noticed a glass door and a little window beside it. I struggled to climb on the wall and arranged the big rock I saw outside, arranging it outside the door and immediately I was able to climb to it. I tried to open it but it was locked from inside. Then I shook it a little bit more when the white curtains on the door were flung open making me fall flat on my butt.
“Aiden,” Mandy called and quickly opened the door helping Inside.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Are you okay?” I rushed to ask her to shake her hands but she was also checking to see if I was injured.
“Is Christian coming for me?” She asked and immediately the door flung open and there he was like a demi-god he walked in with his shirt showing off his chest as his buttons were undone.
He marched to me, pushing Mandy away causing her to stumble backward, almost falling to the ground. He dragged me by the collar and took me away from the room dragging me to another room which I presume to be his due to how it smelt like me.
“What that fuck are you doing here?” Ethan yelled at me and pushed me into his room roughly.
“You like her,” I screamed at him in anger.
“You used me to get to Mandy,” I added frustrated.
“Fuck you,” I cursed while he just rubbed his forehead. “I had bottled my feelings for you hoping you would take a hint and you’ll love me, you’ll notice me,” I poured out.
“So you tracked me here?”
“Are you trying to betray me?” He added glaring at me
“Betray you! I’m the only one here who feels betrayed. I had been so obsessed with you doing whatever you wanted me without question asked,” I pointed my fingers at him angrily.
“But little did I know you were trying to take revenge on Christians. You want to ruin his marriage?”
“You’re using me to ruin my best friend’s life,” I laughed like a psycho as the realization hit me.
“Not only was I being used, but I betrayed my own best friend, the one person who took me in and cared for me like a brother. The one person who’s always got my back. The one person who’s always going to support me,” I thought, taking a deep breath while Ethan ran his hands through his hair frustrated.
” What did you want, Aiden? Why are you here?” He asked in a tired tone as if all my blurting didn’t mean a thing to him.
“I’m trying to understand how you don’t care at all,” I poked his chest in anger visible in my eyes.
“You hurt people in the process of getting what you want and not care,” I poked further causing him to move backward, he folded his hands not gazing at me but I didn’t care, I glared at him in anger.
“You want me to care,” he took my finger from his chest and took a step forward, which made me move backward responding to him “Yes”
He grabbed my neck and pushed me to the wall taking me aback as I stared at him silent, unable to say a word. I looked into his eyes and stared at his chest which was on my face while his hands around my neck tightened making me try to pull his hands away.
“You like that don’t you,” he yelled at me and reduced his grip around me. I stared at him, too stupefied to utter a word.
“This is what you want, right?” He brought his face closer to mine, I could feel his hot breath hit my skin and I felt his lips closer to my neck, causing me to instantly close my eyes waiting for what happened next.
“Next time you do this, I’ll kill you myself,” Ethan breathed out and slowly moved his hands from my neck down to my chest giving it a light hit before pulling away from our close proximity. He glanced at me one last time before leaving the room and locking it.
“Oh my gosh,” I released a huge breath immediately, holding my chest and staring at the door like he was still there. I looked around the room and moved to a corner just in case of cameras to test Christian Mandy’s location. I went back to staring at his room and loving every collection of artwork he had with a smile on his face as he walked around the room.
