My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 34

"I-I..." she whispered.

I was going to punish her, but looking at the way she is already afraid, I decided to let her go this time.

I went to her and she was hyperventilating. "I... I am really..."

"Shh. Calm down" I shushed her. "It's fine"

She looked scared and I saw two tears dropping down her eyes. 

"Ashy..." I whispered as my heart broke seeing her tears. "Don't cry..."

"I am sorry..." 

"It's okay, I told you..."

She cried and cried. Why was she still crying? Why was she still so afraid? What the hell happened now?

"What happened?" I asked her.

She sobbed and looked at me. She looked into my eyes. "I hate you"

My heart stilled the moment I heard those words. They cut straight to my heart and soul. All the past memories played like a kaleidoscope and it broke the inside of me. Those words from someone I love, once again, flared the anger in me along with the loneliness that was quietly shifting away. I didn't do anything wrong to her, or with her. She was the only one I cared about.

Yes, you read it right. WAS.

"I'll show you hate then," I said and looked at her once again. This time, those tears didn't pain my heart as much. 

She broke me just when I was about to be healed.

She started crying more and she denied it by nodding her head from left to right. 

"Well..." I said. "Today's our wedding, so, I'll hate you from tomorrow"

She cried and I left the room. What is wrong with her? Did I say anything to her or do anything wrong? Why the hell does she hate me for no reason?

I calmed my raging nerves by taking deep breaths. Today's your wedding, Vincent, calm down. 

I went to the basement. 

"You'll look after everything. I am in my room" I ordered everyone and went to my room.

I sat down. This room was completely black. I love the black color. Everything that is black, is true. I find peace here when everything else and everyone else is falling down. 

I sighed and saw the time. It was 3:40 PM. The wedding starts at 6. Well, well. Anyway, I am here and am completely okay till this darkness surrounds me.

Chris

"Yeah," I said to mom. She smiled. 

"So... you are reaching your age of marriage, Chris. Have you given any thoughts?"

I sighed. My love life is a wreck right now.

"Mom, I am not ready for marriage anytime soon..."

"Take your time and tell me if you have any ideas"

"Aishh you are so romantic. Well, show your romance tonight. I have work"

"Look at me, I always have time for you and I also own a company"

"I have time for you, dear, shall I come right now?"

"Huh, I wish that was possible"

"Yeah. So..."

"Alright. I'm looking forward to tonight"

"I surely am too" the call ended.

I am ready to move on from you Ashley because I know that you will be happier the more I hurt myself like this. I know what I should do now because I know you are just a whore. Surely you must be enjoying yourself with someone and so will I. I love Heather and I have always loved her. I will move on Ashley and forget that you even ever existed in my life.

Ashley

Someone contacted me and told me that if I don't say I hate you to him, they will kill me. Yes, I was contacted. by whom... I don't know. There was this distorted voice which was scary enough to make me accept everything they said without question.

But now that I look at it, I think I did wrong.

I just dug my own grave. I know Vincent is never gonna leave me. I thought about it earlier, but why was he so flared? I mean, it's not like he likes me or something. Why will he even care if I hate him?

But he does because he looked hurt and then suddenly angry. God, Ashley, you are dead. Believe it or not. 

I sighed remembering I am getting married today. Why God? What did I do wrong? Why is this happening with me?
