014. She refused

Killian

I've been gnashing my teeth against each other every five minutes now.

I'm fucking pissed off.

I'm pissed because I thought she would jump at my offer immediately especially since she's aware that Viktor is going to take custody of the kids.

I had assumed if she's aware of the divorce beforehand then she'll take action immediately and that's where my proposal of marriage comes in.

But I guess I was wrong .

My proposal was supposed to be her stepping stone but looks like she's got other plans.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove to my apartment. I guess , I'll have to move to plan B. She has to see the gravity of the situation she's in for her to accept my proposal. At this rate,she has to be completely helpless before I can step in.

I don't care how far I'll go but as long as I have her all to myself then it doesn't matter what I do.

I took her upstairs without saying a word.As soon as she sat on the couch ,I turned to leave.“ I'll be back in a few hours. If you want anything,it shouldn't be that hard to find it.” I said,sounding nonchalant.

I saw her fists tightening on the sofa and her lips pressed into a thin line and I nearly scoffed.

She had expected me to stay .

I want to but I have to make her realise that she needs someone beside her . She has to realise that she needs me.

“Wait!"I had walked to the door when she called me back.

“ Yeah?" I kept my voice calm and collected.

“ Before you go,I want you to book a ride to Phoenix for me.” She said and I turned on my heels.

I took slow steps towards her,creasing my brows.“ Why are you going to Phoenix?”

She fidgeted with her fingers before speaking.“ I'm going home….to my parents.”

I furrowed my brows,a deep frown appearing on my face.“ And what's going to happen to your internship ? And Viktor?”

A bitter smile spread across her face.“ I'll start over next year.”

I dropped my suitcase roughly on the couch,anger slipping into my veins.“ Can you hear yourself right now?”

She shrugged.“ I've thought about it. I'll go back to my parents till I regain my sight and then I'll continue my internship after. ”

I dragged my palm over my face. What the fuck is wrong with this woman!

“You’ve thought about it ?” I questioned,my voice rising to a degree.“ It sounds to me like you've given up. What the fuck happened to wanting a revenge?”

She shook her head.“ I can't have revenge if I'm blind . I can barely bath myself,how the hell am I supposed to live like this let alone get back at him. ?"

I exhaled deeply.“ Raven…."

“ Don't ask me to marry you…. because I won't. I'll do what I have to do myself.” She stated.

I stared at her. I guess she's made a resolve ,I'll be switching to plan B then. I'll be pushing her to a corner till she's forced to accept my help.

"You're just going to let Viktor win?" I raised a brow.

She bit down on her lips , something I found sexy amidst all the tension.

“No…I'm just giving myself space to heal. He won't know about it so he'll probably hold off the divorce as long as I don't pester him. Then once I get my sight back,I'll strike.”

My lips twitched….like hell I'll let that happen.“Fine then….do what you want.”

She looked up,her eyes widened a millimetre.“ You'll let me go?”

I shrugged."You've made your decision ….I can only hope you're thinking with your brain ,not your emotions.”

She remained silent.

We didn't talk after that ,so I stayed back and ordered a ride. When it came,I helped her in and waited for the driver to start the engine.

“ Thank you for everything ,Killian.” She says ,her eyes fixated in front of her.

I hummed.“ I'll cancel your internship and send you the documents by mail.”

She nodded.“ Thanks.”

“You're welcome.”I replied and watched as the car drove off. I understand her though,she's going through a lot. She's overwhelmed and she just wants some peace.

I was tempted to offer to follow her to her parents but it would complicate a whole lot of things. Her parents hate me for what I did to their daughter.

That was part of the reason I had to disappear from her life ,she was hurting so bad because of me. But some things are still in the dark.

I sighed ,dipping my hands into my pocket. If only she remembers then she won't be this broken and sad over Viktor.

I strolled back into my apartment and picked up my phone to call Holly.

She picked up on the third ring,her voice drawn out.“ Hello?”

" Change of plans Holly…persuade Viktor to get a divorce as soon as possible.” I pressed on,pacing my room with one hand running through my hair.

She yawned.“ What? You told me less than a day ago to convince him to hold it off. So what is the problem now?"

“ Ask him to Divorce Raven,take the kids and do whatever shit you both want to." I breathed,stopping to grip the railing.

She sighed.“ Half a day ago you …..”

I snapped.“ Holly ! Do as you're told.”

There was silence on the other end for a few moments before her voice rang through.“ Viktor is already falling in love with me again,I'd like to take it slow this time and actually own up to my mistakes. I want to be with my kids ,okay!”

I chortled.“ You want to be with his fucking money not your kids. Need I remind you that I brought you back into his life ? Do not provoke me Holly or I'll return you back to the slumps.”

She forced out a small laugh.“ Chill out ….fine I'll get him to get the divorce. It'll be to my advantage anyway.”

“ Good…” I said and hung up.

I tossed the phone on the couch as my train of thoughts went on. I puffed out air through my mouth as I looked up to the ceiling. I need a smoke to cool my head.

I'm taking this too far and it'll only lead to my doom but am I going to stop till she's mine?

Hell no!
