Chapter 282

She walked towards him and slapped right on his face. He lost his balance, dropping his coat on the floor and ran his hand right on the cheek where she slapped and looked at her in shock. Her face was blood red. Tears rolled down her eyes even messing up the waterproof mascara she were wearing drawing black lines on her cheeks. She said, "How dare you?" and paused for a minute breathing heavily. She looked like a dragon taking a break to catch its breath before blowing fire. It was so evident that she was deeply hurt; one could see her pain through her eyes; especially the messed up mascara added more drama to it and it really was not an exaggeration, she was in agony. She looked at him straight in the eye and said wiping her tears away "Don't you dare question my love for you. I will always love you and I always have". She continued after a pause, struggling to control her emotions that were mounting in the form of a waterfall in her eyes and as a volcano in her anger. "Even if you have changed I still love you. You have turned out to be someone so different that I never though possible, so materialistic and so inhumane. If all you care about is spending the night with me, you are not who I think you are. Do you even know how much those words hurt me? They hurt me more than the pain I an enduring physically right now. They are nothing compared to what you just said". She couldn't control her tears anymore and they came down almost like a huge tsunami wave hitting its coast destroying everything on its path.

She said, "You want to know what I am hiding from you?" She tore her eight hundred and fifty British pound one of a kind designer signature blouse into two and the glittering stone buttons came off shattering all over the place. He starred at her in shock. The way she looked at him made him feel low. "I will show you, if that’s all you really care about, look at me" she said. She ran her hands through her hair and with great pain took it off revealing her bald head. Something was happening to her, she couldn't breath and before he could react she managed to say, "Excuse me" and ran to the bathroom. He stood there still holding his cheek that had turned blood red and had bulged a little reminding him of the time he had gotten a black eye. He slowly took his hand and turned in the direction of the bathroom where he heard weird noises. He knew she was probably throwing up but he didn't know what to do. He was a little concerned but decided to stay right there under the circumstances. She came out with a towel in her hand wiping her face. Her eyes were red and sunken in and her face looked swollen. She looked up and starred at him and tears started rolling down her eyes again. He stood there in shock speechless unable to react to what he had witnessed. It was of a much bigger magnitude than he had anticipated. She had scars on her back that looked like some allergic reaction. It took him a couple of minutes to come to his senses and he walked over to her and hugged her in spite of her protests and ran his had on her back gently calming her down. It took her more than ten minutes to calm down. She was tiered and he took her to her bed and cuddled with her. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. Once she was completely asleep he apologized to her "I am sorry. I know you that is the only way to get the truth out of you. I am so sorry for hurting you" and kissed her on her bald head and closed his eyes. He didn't realize the tiny droplet that had sneaked through her eyes.
