My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 30

How can Bain be so stupid to think that Heather compromised that security? She doesn't even have the papers with her anymore; I asked her.

I trust her, if she says she didn't, then she didn't.

I still have to find out who did it. After I came to know Ashley's reality, I am sure she could be the one who did this. I can't believe she was in front of me, and I couldn't know her reality.

Well, it is over now, thanks to Heather, for opening my eyes. Or I would have been with that fake right now and doing nothing but some real love to someone so fake. Thank you, Heather.

I heard a knock on the door and I said come in, still looking out of the window.

"Christopher"

Hearing the voice, I turned around and ran to her. I hugged her, she hugged me back.

"Mom? How are you here after so much time?"

"I just missed you, and I came to know that you and Ashley broke up, so I thought you'd need me..."

I smiled at her. "Yeah mom, right"

She smiled and cupped my face. "How are you, my son?"

"I am a fine mom. I am stronger than this, right?"

"Yes. And I am proud of you"

"Aww mom"

"But she looked to be the perfect girl for you"

"Well, looks are deceptive, aren't they?"

"Mhm, maybe"

"Come here, mom!" I showed her the seat and she sat down. 

"So mom, how are you?"

"I am great as always, Chris"

"That is good news" 

"Why did you two break up, Christopher?"

I fell quiet listening to her question. How can I tell you the truth, mom? It is heartbreaking, it is really the worst truth. It is like the proof of the proverb 'Truth is bitter'. How can I tell you that the girl who you almost took as daughter-in-law was a complete fake? How, mom?

"Chris? Son... don't cry!"

She wiped my tears. cry. Why am I crying for someone like her?

I nodded and opened my eyes. He was moving and his hand never left mine. We were in our room and he closed the door.

He looked into my eyes and for a moment, I was lost.

His eyes were so beautiful and I just forgot that he is some Mafia boss. All I knew was that he was standing right next to me, was looking at me with the love I have longed for, and was caressing my hair silently.

"Ashy" my name rolled out, this time more huskily. 

"Vicent?"

"Stay away from anyone else. You can't trust no one"

I nodded my head slowly and he bent down and kissed my forehead, leaving me breathless once again. I get so out of breath at this proximity, I can't even explain my own action if someone asked me to.

He got away. "Bye, Ashy. Sleep now, it is late"

I nodded again, "Okay. Bye Vincent"

He smiled faintly and left the room. Calling him Vincent seems strange to me too, well, he was so feared everywhere, like Voldemort. People shouldn't take his name, right? But here I am, calling him Vincent, in front of him and am receiving his smile. He is not that bad, he may be dangerous, but if you are bad, then only he does the same to you. that's like karma, right?

I sighed and sat on the bed. After everything, when I think of what is right for me, Chris let me go like that. I know maybe he had some "reasons" but that doesn't mean that he will let me go to someone known to be so dangerous. He didn't care at all, and I think I am moving on from that betrayal.

But damn, it still hurts when I think of him. And what's the point? I have to marry Vincent tomorrow, I shouldn't think of Chris right now. I am sure he wouldn't be thinking of me either. What hurts is that he didn't even tell me a reason why he hates me. What hurts is that he said he didn't care if they "fuck" me cause I am a "whore" and I deserved it.
