Chapter 40 - Friendly Betrayal (2/2)

” Yes.” Luke blankly replied.

” What?! When?!” Regina looked at Luke and she was surprised with his answer just like me and Mike.

” Uh. You guys broke up long time ago so I thought I should give a try.” Luke said to Regina with smirk and tried to flirt with her. Once again I rolled my eyes to his stupidity.

See! That's why I never asked for your help!

” Actually we broke up a while ago.” I told them since I hadn't explained the whole situation regarding our marriage contract and everything.

” Wait what? But weren't you married to Stella?” Luke's was caught in surprise with my statement.

” So, she's the girl you were dating.” Dalton poked into our conversation pointing at Regina, since he knew everything.

” For the fuċks sake can you just shut up?” Luke screamed at him again very rudely.

” Hey Luke cut it out okay? You don't have to be mean with him.” I stopped Luke from proceeding any further. He was angry but he can't just throw his anger on someone else.

” Yeah, you're right. I should be mad at you! How much did you hide from me all this time?” Luke roared at me with a shaken voice. Even though he was angry, there was a part of him which felt betrayed by his so called friend.

I looked at him with guilt perhaps if I had really told him everything, the current situation would have been different. After all Luke may be a dumbass but he has always helped me. He was my first friend. Back then I used to just avoid people and stay by myself. Luke was different, he approached me first and he kept on trying to have conversation with me.

Somehow I ended up being his friend. After that I met Mike and I got be acquainted with other people. I met William and Logan because of Luke also. He was like the first person ever to understand me. Maybe that's why I never got bothered or annoyed by him.

Right now I need to apologise to him for not leaning onto him. He was always there for me. So, now that I kept on suffering from all this time and bad things that happened to me I should have at least told him. My pride and ego has kept me locked up within myself which has caused problems for my dear ones.

Stella, Regina, Luke all of them had to suffer because of me.

I was hurting them without being aware of the fact. How terrible I must have been. Even John also. He had to pretend that he knew nothing about my situation and focus on the work. He felt guilty for not helping his boss ċum friend.

I'm the worst. I'm the worst of all.
