After three months,
Ryan was working in the office and reading his files.
Alex knocks on the door.
"Come in"
"Master this is the file you asked for and I escort madam to the college and she said today she is busy with her work or may come late at home."
Alex explained to him about Emily's today schedule.
Ryan just nodded without looking at him as if he is not interested in listening to this.
Alex was hesitant to tell him anything further and takes his leave but before going out he stops at the door and looked back, "Master, madam wished that you were there in the fest as you were invited as a chief guest there. She is volunteering the fest and she said that she missed you."
Ryan looked towards Alex with an expressionless face, "I am busy right now. I don't have time. Tell her I won't make time to come to her fest."
And again reading his file.
Alex takes the signed file and left the room.
It's been three months, his master is completely changed. He is not the same lovable husband. He spent all his time in the cabin and office, clearly neglect everything related to Emily. Many times he wanted to talk to him about it but he always gets scolded. And reminded him to be within his limits. He has completely become the old cold and emotionless Ryan Bond.

"Is your master in the cabin" Daniel came to Ryan office and asked about Ryan.
"Yes, he is but not in the mood to attend visitors," Alex said with a sad face.
"I am not a visitor at all," Daniel said and strode towards Ryan's office.
Alex tried to stop him but failed.
As Daniel opened the door he heard the loud voice of Ryan.
"Didn't I told you Alex I am not seeing any visitors now!"
Ryan growled and looked up. But seeing the person his expression changed and he asked him, "Why are you here? Don't you have any work to do at that time? It's not lunch break Daniel."
"What are you up to?" Daniel said and sit in front of him in anger.
"Me, I am not up to something. Didn't you see I am busy and work here?"
He said and again looked towards his file ignoring Daniel's presence.
"What happened to you Mr Ryan Bond after that night you become completely changed, like old Ryan. You even didn't care about your wife Emily and Ariana."
Ryan looked towards him, "What? I am not I am the same Ryan, nothing changed."
"Nothing changed... then tell me why are you ignoring Emily and all of us in these three months. Even you didn't come to your birthday party yesterday. Where are you? You clearly know that the innocent girl will want to give a surprise for your birthday party. We clearly waited for you almost the whole night. But where are you, Ryan? Where were you at that time when your wife is waiting for you at home."
"I am busy Daniel, didn't you see I have a lot of work to do at the office and yesterday I slept in the office I didn't..."
Ryan said something but Daniel cut his words in the middle.
"Please Ryan don't tell me you don't know anything about your surprise birthday party.
In a dream mansion, even a needle will fall you get the information and yesterday Emily throw a surprise big party and you said you didn't even know about that. Do you think me as a fool?"
Daniel said and takes a long breath. Seeing the expressionless face of Ryan, Daniel gritted his teeth.
"Tell me what happened to you suddenly that you become like this. Even my words meant nothing to you."
Ryan still didn't tell him any answer.
Daniel lost his composure and shouted at him, "Tell me Ryan what happened to you?"
He stands up from his chair and hit the table hard with his hands.
Ryan looked into his stern eyes, "I can't.."
Daniel frowned and looked towards him in confusion, "You... you can't! What are you saying you can't?"
"I can't face, Love. I don't have that much strength, Daniel. I am the reason for all of this happened to her and I think I don't deserve a girl like her. I just bring pain in her life, I can't give her that happiness that she deserves."
Ryan said emotionally.
Daniel looked towards him confusedly and again sit back on his chair.
"Wait! what you are saying, Ryan? What happened suddenly which makes you think like that."
"Damon Stevenson killed Emily's parents.... because of me. I am the reason for her all sufferings. I am the reason that she lost her family and become an orphan. I am the reason that she still having those nightmares about that deadly accident. I am the one because of which everything happened and still I said that I loved her. No Daniel no I only bring pain, tears and sufferings in her life. Because of me, her parents died."
Ryan said and started crying.
Daniel was too shocked to hear all this and don't know what to say to him.
After a moment of silence, Daniel said,
"What you decided then? Are you going to tell her the truth or stay like that you are like now? Ignoring her every day and night. You bring more pain to her like that."
Ryan wiped his tears, "I am still deciding. I can't just tell her the truth. I am afraid she will leave me if I tell her the truth. Or I said she will hate me. I don't know what I do Daniel."
"Brother, you need to tell her the truth. She didn't deserve this. She deserves to know the truth about her parents. It's her choice that she will leave you or not. But you need to tell her this is the real truth. You can't just let hide this real truth from her."
Ryan looked up at him, "What are you saying that I need to tell her the truth? Are you out of your mind? If I tell her the truth she will hate me. I can live without her but I can't see the hatred in her eyes whenever she looked at into my eyes. I don't want that whenever she saw me she will only think of that deadly accident that snatched her everything. I am already feeling like something is eating me inside from all these months and feeling guilty all the time. And here you said to tell her the real truth. Do you want me to die, Daniel"
"Then what? You can't let her in dark all your life. You can't live like that Ignoring her all your life. This only increased her sufferings, Ryan. And she won't deserve all this. She needs to know the truth."
"I won't tell her" Ryan stubbornly said.
"Then what you did?" Daniel growled in anger.
"I... I... I will leave her for her own good."
"You mean... Mean you will...."
Daniel said looking at him in shock.
Ryan looked into his eyes and completed his words in his stern tone, "I will divorce her. She doesn't deserve a man like me. I am a bane in her life, only bring sufferings and sadness for her. She won't deserve that. She is the happiest girl in the whole words and deserves a man who brings happiness to her life, not someone who makes her life complicated and suffered. So I think she will be happy if I leave her and even she will safe after that. So I decided that I will divorce her soon."
