THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO- HOSPITAL

Lila POV

"Blake get off!" I said as I can't count many times I chanted those words for him to stay off me. But the guy just didn't budge at all and stayed rooted.

His arms are all over me. I tried to push his chest but the guy is just strong.

"Blake, stop it please!" I pleaded.

"Let's go home!" He said as I felt the hair of my skin straighten when his lips touched my bare skin on my neck.

"For starters, can you please stop holding me like this? We need to talk!" I said as I sigh defeatedly.

"I can't !" He said again.

"Why?"

"Because you will go away if I let you go now!"

"Blake we are talking!"

"I miss you! Three years I have been looking for you. I hired many investigators but they can't find you. Sweetheart, let's go home!" He said again and strengthened his hold again.

What's this guy and the way he's holding me?

"Blake……" I whispered to him.

"Three years ago, I found out that you didn't cheat on me. I accidentally met the guy in the club where the team celebrated victory. He told me everything. But it's too late for me when I come home. You're not there anymore. You left me even though I called  you at that time. I do understand sweetheart that you hate , mad or resent me. But do whatever you want to me. You can punish me for anything just don't push me away. Please?" He is still holding me. He almost squeezed the daylight off me because of too much force he put in holding me, if you can still call it holding.

"Blake, can you please let me go? I can't breathe!" I said as I pushed him gently. I can't level his strength. Maybe asking him nicely will do the process.

"No!"

"I won't go, ok? I am going to stay right here. If you want to talk, then let's talk! Just stop holding me like this. And it's not a good thing for you, look at your wounds it will open again!"  I said.

Good thing he manages to listen to me this time. I let out a little breath feeling relief all of a sudden.

"That's better!" I said to him, He just stays sitting looking at me expectantly.

"Can you sit next to me?" He said and I gulped, this guy really doesn't know how to give up.

"Blake, I am not here for that. I just want to discuss what happened earlier. You gave my driver a heart attack!" I said to him,

"But you ran away from me. You can't just do that to me Sweetheart!"

"I can Blake, look it's been three years. I don't know how you managed to know the truth. But it's no use anymore. The mistakes are already done. We can't change it anymore. What we need to do is to move on and stand up to what we decide!" I said to him

"No, move on? Do you think I will move on? After everything I know? Sweetheart I won't cause you're still my wife!" He said to me, making me look at him in shock.

"Wife?" I said as I let out a fake laugh on what he said.  "You must be mistaken Blake. It's been three years since we had our divorce!" I said, trying to remind him.

I don't think this guy has amnesia or something.

Wife?

Has he forgotten how he throws those papers on me like I meant nothing to him?

"We divorce for no reason. It's a mistake!" He said, shaking his head.

"Whether it's a mistake or not. You filed for a divorce from me and I signed it. I accepted it so I expected you to accept it just like what I did. We can't change what's already written in the past. And I don't have plans on taking that either. What we have right now is what we deserve!"

"No! You didn't fight back. You didn't try to tell me the truth!" He said to me,

"I did, but whatever kind of fighting I will make you will never believe me at that time. Your mind is already made up. Fighting for someone who doesn't fight for you it's useless. I don't want to travel down the memory lane about us cause I have been through a lot because of it. But it made me a better person. So please stop  whatever you are doing right now!"

"Then what about our child?" He said. My eyes snapped on him again.

Is he serious?

"Have you forgotten what you did?" I asked him harshly as I can't contain my emotions anymore.

"Sweetheart!....!" He said looking at me with so much weariness. I can gaze at his eyes full of regrets and worries.

"Look, you don't have a child with me. Stop right there!". I said to him,

"Sweetheart, you can't say that!"

"I can Blake, we are not together, we are divorce and you don't have a child with me. It's like I don't exist in you anymore. Stop doing anything like this! You are just making it hard for the both of us!"

"Hard? Do you know how much I waited for this to come? To see you, hold you and talk to you again? I've been living in a dream world full of you and me with our child. You don't know how much I miss you. I am going crazy just thinking about you!" He said, shaking his head vigorously.

"Have you forgotten what happened? It's not that easy Blake. Just because you learned the truth I will throw myself at you? And expect me to forgive you? You know after everything you put me through it's not that easy. For demanding a divorce from me, telling me I am a cheating bitch, accusing me of something I didn't do and for fortelling that I am after your money. And even have the decency to kiss a girl in front of me? Blake, I am not a saint just to forget everything you have done to me.  But what's the hardest thing you did was telling my face that the baby I am carrying is not yours. You even signed to waive your right, so man up and stay in your choice. You can't just walts in my life again, telling me I am your wife and asking about my child cause you don't have the right anymore. I had loved you before but that's it. Don't ever appear in front of me again!" I said as I grabbed my purse and started to leave but before I could hold the doorknob, a hand clasped on my wrist and I could hear him sighing in pain.

I turned around and saw him standing behind me, holding my hand. But what bothers me is that whatever kind of thing that is attached to him is no longer in his hands. I glanced back to his hospital and I saw it being thrown on the floor. Then I glanced back to his back to his hands which you can see small stains of blood.

"What have you done?" I shouted at him.
