(Heart break)
~ Gianna ~
The gunshots once more making me numb...
"Down"I heard Wesley say but couldn't move. He pulled me down and covered his body with mine.
I concentrated only on my racing heart.
"Do you think you can get us outta here?" Wesley asked his driver.
"I'm not sure boss but I could try."
You get some privileges when you're living with the president's son like me. Thankfully, the car us bulletproof but the car can't hold on again. If the continue to fire, they'll kill all of us.
The driver put the car in reverse and drove backwards before turned the car around, passing another route home.
I was still in shock, everyone still is.
"Are you okay?" Wesley asked.
I nodded in response and sat in the chair back. The ride home was awfully silent.
We both went into our rooms each when we got home and couldn't shake out the bad feeling in my stomach.
............. Next morning.........
I woke up pretty early and head to the kitchen when I found Wesley drinking an apple juice.
"Couldn't sleep huh?" I tried striking a conversation.
"I need to talk to you" he said instead.
"What's it?" I asked and sat opposite him worriedly.
I saw him take a deep breath and start " I wanted to be with you even after I learnt about your predicament. I'm selfish I know but your presence brings comfort to me, I could only think of you after that night"
Okay, so why's he bringing this up now? I didn't interrupt and let him continue.
" I don't want to put you in harm's way and as sad as it is, I have to let you go."
"What do you mean let me go?" I searched his eyes in panic.
"Meeting you is one on the best thing that has happened to be in my life" he continued, ignoring my question."I know you must have seen those notes. The idea of this mask is to hide from my enemies. I assisted dad in securing a multi-billion deal. Those after the project were immediately on my tail even some of the shareholders in dad's company released an article on how I embezzled a money I never touched nor have an idea of. There's no way I can defend myself because his rivals are still after my life. They believe I took what was supposed to be theirs that why the are after me. They want revenge"
"I shook my head in disbelief, I want to wake up from my dream.
Is this the reason I had a bad feeling yesternight?
~ Wesley ~
After the gunshot incident, I knew those guys wouldn't rest until they have me and if Gianna continue to stay with me, her life would be in danger so I took the hardest decision of my life.
I spent the entire night it about it over and over again. I sat in the kitchen, gently going over how I was going to tell her.
Thankfully she came down to the kitchen with a smile.
What I was about to do hurts a lot but I fear for her safety.
"Couldn't sleep huh?" She said
"I need to talk to you" I said in response
"What's it?" She asked and sat opposite me, worry evident on her round face.
I almost choke back my words. It's now or never.
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and started " I wanted to be with you even after I learnt about your predicament. I'm selfish I know but your presence brings comfort to me, I could only think of you after that night"
I waited for her to butt in as usual but she didn't so I continue.
" I don't want to put you in harm's way and as sad as it is, I have to let you go."
"What do you mean let me go?" The worry in her eyes has been replaced with confusion and panic
"Meeting you is one on the best thing that has happened to be in my life" I continued, ignoring her question."I know you must have seen those notes. The idea of this mask is to hide from my enemies. I assisted dad in securing a multi-billion deal. Those after the project were immediately on my tail even some of the shareholders in dad's company released an article on how I embezzled a money I never touched nor have an idea of. There's no way I can defend myself because his rivals are still after my life. They believe I took what was supposed to be theirs that why the are after me. They want revenge" I needed to let her know why I was leaving her. Gosh....why does this feels like a break up,we aren't even dating.
She shook her head in disbelief as if trying to clear a memory.
"I don't believe you Wesley" the first tear slid down her face. "I don't believe you"
The hurt in her voice stabbed through my chest.
"I'm sorry Gianna but I'm serious. You have to go away from my life, away from me."
"Don't send me away, I promise to be obedient and not argue with you. I'll do whatever you say just don't send me away" her voice shook badly, she was crying
I blinked back the tears that were starting to gather in my eyes. "Pls go, go to Matt or anywhere. Just go away!" I said sternly.
She stood up and made to leave the kitchen, pausing at the entrance to give me one long last look.
My gaze met with her teary gaze, I wanted to take back my words, tell her I would protect her but I know it all for good. Matt will take care of her.
She walked out and went to her room, probably to pack.
I went to my room with a heavy heart, my heart felt empty, it was void like a bigger of it is gone.
I stepped out of my room and walked to hers, I wanted to memorize every single detail of her in my head and watch her pack from a distance.
Her door was opened, I walked slowly into the room, it was empty. She has gone. The only thing lingering in the room is her scent which I grasped on to desperately.
I sat on the floor and broke down in tears. She really has gone, my love has gone and she carried a huge part of me with her.
