Chapter 61 - Evil Plot (2/2)
” I also knew it. But it's not appropriate for me to inform you about that.” I don't wanna keep any secret between us. It's better to tell her everything I know.
” Of course, I understand that. I just never thought he would do something low like this. I am hurt by his actions.”
” How come you short out everything? where else I had no idea that Ray was the real culprit.”
” Isn't it obvious? Why would a hooker drug you for sėx? They have many customers there. Unless someone paid them to do it. And I knew Megan had worked for Ray many times. She's well acquainted with him.”
” Of course they would know each other since Ray is a designer. How come this didn't came to my mind?” I began to scratch my head with my hand. I knew something was fishy about the way Megan was acting.
” Everything was connected to each incident. That day when I cooked for you, actually before that I was texting Ray and I remember that I had told him, I was cooking dinner for you. Even today, I had a phone call from Ray. When we talked, I had told him that I was going in this area for my work. I didn't thought that he'll set up the whole thing to make you look like, you were cheating on me.”
” That I won't ever do. You know it Stella. I'm not a that type of person.” Keeping my gaze fixed on her, I replied back with honesty and confidence.
” I do believe you but I just felt insecure when I imagined you with someone else. That is when, I realised my love for you. In fact I got jealous and sad when I saw you hugging Megan.”
Is that for real? I can't believe this! Even though after all the plotting and scheming Ray just only helped me to get closer to Stella. You know what they? God helps those who helps themselves. But technically Ray did the God's job for me.
Finally she smiled while she had the spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. She was trying to keep the ice cream inside while she was smiling at me.
” I guess that's true after all.” I grabbed her hand which was kept on the table. My palms were firmly pressing her hand.
” I knew from the beginning that one day you will feel the same for me. I don't know if there's gonna be more situations like this in future but I promise you, I will be loyal to you. There's a big part of you life being affected by your past. Unless you share your pain with me I can never heal those wounds. I'm sorry that I asked your brother to tell me about it but even after that, I feel no regret. The more I know, the more it will help me to understand you.” Stella gasped when he heard that. She had no idea I heard about the incident from Neil.
Maybe, she feels that it was something that was not explainable or understandable. What she felt and how it had effected her, it was not an easy task to open up to somebody. Expressing your pain to someone is way harder than it seems. After all, no matter how much concerned you are for that person, you will never feel it like the way they have felt.
” I will tell you everything.” It took her a while to finally accept my question and I was glad that she was willing to open up.
