บททั้งหมดของ Betide to Love You: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

“Wait a minute. What do you mean by what I am trying to do?” She asked, her tone getting slightly angered as she stood up. “You know what I am talking about.” I hissed, turning to her. “No, I don’t. According to you I lied to you. So tell me what you are talking about.” “Don’t disturb me.” I said sternly. “No. Listen. You are believing Elmer because he told you I was going to tell you this before and you believed him?” She asked. “Didn’t you think for a second that he might be saying this to clear himself up and put all faults at me?” She continued, agitated. “Why don't you believe me?” She asked in a croaked voice. “Who is Nicolas?” I asked hurriedly. Her eyes widened upon hearing, her mouth gaped along with a look of stagger sweeping off from her face. Fright mixed with distress formed over her face which made my heart ache in the terror of knowing something unbearable for both her and me. She narrowed her eyes at me in… disgust? She whispered, “Someone I love as much

I lost my capability to think, Anger, distress and some kind of insecurity mixed within me and I couldn’t think straight, my mind couldn’t comprehend it. “What the fuck!?” I didn’t not know what to say about it. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I truly want to believe what my heart is telling me but to convince my mind and eyes and keep it in a deception is impossible. “Are those… real?” I could feel as if everything is falling apart and even if I try to hold it , it is slipping out of my hands. I grit my teeth, throw the pictures in the fire. ‘Who are you, Candice?’ Are you the girl I kept pure or someone I didn’t want to involve myself with? I should trust her, I know there are secrets about her she is afraid to tell me and maybe don’t want to be seen as a slut in my eyes. It could be anything. I should understand there must be a reason for her to do this. I should have faith in her and give her some time to open up to me. I truly should. I should have. ‘But, I did

The seas of uncertainties on my heart, I want to release it. “Please, Candice.” I whispered, staring intensely at her. The fire backfiring in my heart and making it burn fiercely is intense as the smoke filled my path. “Everything made it difficult for me to see and find the right path to do what I should or not.” I confessed, lowering my gaze. There was an extreme to my agony which I needed to stop and live up to my core but it apparently seemed impossible. “Stop this, I can’t lose you, you are my world.” I said, closing my eyes to sink into darkness. The next day, My eyes slowly opened as I found myself on the ground. I sat beside Candice and talked to her in sleep but then due to exhaustion, my eyes fell into the darkness as I fell asleep here. “Candice?” I blinked a few times and raised my gaze only to see Candice face so close to mine. She was sitting beside me with her face so close to mine. In the same sleeping position as mine, she was also sitting on the ground.

“Okay, okay, okay. Tyler, you can do this.” I took a deep breath and came home in the evening. My hands were freezing in apprehension, my heart was pounding out of my chest, my throat dried with the inability to speak but I have to tell her. “Candice?” When I entered, the hall was dim, the candles were the only source of brightness as a dinner table was set and the aroma of food spread in the air. The sight was aesthetically romantic and before I could asked a voice called me, “Tyler!” Candice’s melodious voice reached my ears and my breath hitched. Come on, do it. I opened my mouth to say something but Candice hugged me before I could do or say anything and hugged me. “Are you alright? I was worried sick about you.” She said, tightening her grip around me. “Yeah. I am okay, you?” I asked softly. I swallowed hard and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her back as I nuzzled to her neck. A shiver went down my spine in satisfaction when my heartbeats intertwined with

Candice POV:- Tyler apologized, fixing everything and giving me time to gather myself and open up to him. While we were proceeding at a slow but memorable pace. Once again my life came to the point of being peaceful. Tyler was going to work, “Take care.” I said and smiled. He kissed me before leaving. “You too, love.” and left. I never get tired of the endless love he gives me. It was somehow eerie to think how he is endearing me as if we are together for a lifetime and having me complete his prayers. It was a silly thought but I honestly think like this but how it could be possible. Where he, where me? The King of Shipments and a mere waitress don’t fit in the same box. As I was lost in my thoughts my phone rang and it was Rufus, “Oh, Hey Rufus.” I greeted, attending the call. “Hey, Candice. Didn’t you get Nicolas’s message?” He asked. “No, why?” I asked. “He came to New York,” My face lit up in happiness when I heard it. “Really? When?” “Just now, Fathe
