THE CEO AND ME!-Chapter 217 - IF SHE LOVES YOU, WHAT ELSE DOES IT MATTER?
PRECAP
"I can...and she is not yours. She is fucking mine!!"
Tinsley yelled the last part, getting annoyed.
"Then who fucked you if not me?? Who puts that baby in you? If not me?"
Kian argued and Tinsley did not exactly know how to answer that question from him. He eyed her, expecting an answer.
"It's not yours!"
It was what came out of her mouth and for a moment there, it made Kian think what if she had moved on...and the child was not his??
"I have taken onto the artificial insemination to get pregnant. "
He looked up at her as she told him that. He read through the words as she narrated to him side by side.
"So now you know, it's not anyone's baby but mine's and only mine alone."
She concluded and all of a sudden, he just shut the file and stormed out of her house...without a word or any reaction.
________________________________________________
On his way to the car, his guards opened the door for him as he got inside, left her house without a second word.
What was there more to say either way??
She had moved on too far...did he push her too far?? It seemed like so by then.
Was it too late to return back to what they were?
There was no answer to that question.
At least not yet...and there was no hope to get it in the near future either.
The Mercedes sped away to the private airport where his jet was on standby ready to fly anytime back to Richmond.
He had come with so much hope in here, expecting the best...the best of taking his wife back to their home and trying to live in peace and settling the past events.
And oh lord! What had the events turned into? He could never tell or imagine that he would walk into something like this.
The drivers opened the door of the Mercedes, on reaching the airport, parked near the jet.
Kian got out without a word and headed towards the jet, the pilot and the air hostess, gave him a salute.
Within a few minutes, they were up in the air, flying back from where he had come from.
He closed the window shield, tired of watching the void on the outside and she could not get her eyes off from staring out the opened door...the door through which he barged inside, wrecked her living world and left without a word.
She was still standing on the same spot, holding the file containing her donor's name and health information, right beside the stool he had sat down out of being fed up with it all.
She bent down to pick up the medical file that he had been holding and she could not help in touching the stain of the teardrop from his eyes.
She ran her finger over it...the wetness of it still alive, on the surface of the paper, right above the word 'positive' pregnancy confirmation.
Her mind was still trying to process what had happened...all in the morning, she had not thought...never expected that the visitor would be him out of nowhere.
His lips...she could still feel them above hers. Tracing the lips, he could still taste her in his mouth and realized, how much he had missed her...craved her.
She closed her eyes, trying to get her consciousness back...trying to get herself back to normal...the normal before him...his arrival.
She walked out of the rugs, dropping the file in the seat, she headed towards the front door to close it and bring the normalcy back again...even though it had long past gone away.
The gates hung open as the other one closed, he got out and she turned her back to crawl back inside her bed...a sorry excuse of trying to hide from the world because he would always find her.
His eyes interlocked with hers and he was the last person, she was thinking of coming across at the moment.
He did not give her a second before he held her wrist and dragged her out of the lobby, to a place where...she had no idea of.
But she had lost the will to fight him back or hold back and break free to run in the opposite direction and never look back.
"She cannot...you know that too. She cannot because she is married. She is fucking married!!! And I do not understand why are you so hell-bent on ending a fucking marriage when both do not want it to end of course....??? Why Madison?? Why??"
The voice rang in her head like a siren. And now peeking at him, she could see how much miserable he looked.
"You seem so hell-bent on ending them!"
"There is no 'them' anymore. He chose that. She did her best to try and make it work...it is the ending now!"
"They did love each other though!"
"Only she did...he never got over his pathetic past!"
"But how could you know that Madi...some people have a weird way of showing their love...he is protective over her, pushing her away but could never let go...what do you pinpoint that as?? "
Lana argued, putting the mug back on the table. She for sure could not claim if he was in love...he did feel something closer to love, something similar for Tinsley.
"They are over! That's what it is!"
Madison concluded, picking up her phone, knowing exactly how to get ahold of that bastard.
"You do not get to decide that, Madison!"
Lana pressed, standing up, "You do not get to determine when it's over for them?"
"Well, I did not, Tinsley knew that it is over...her signatures are on this paper and she had left this city for good... it's the end, Lana!"
________________________________________________
And that was when Madi broke down, tears spurted out of her eyes, raw and fresh and Kian was taken aback.
She thrashed herself into him...hugging his body to herself and started mumbling sorry repeatedly.
She had ended a love story before it could start and evolve...just like her impulsive actions had led to ending her own.
Lana understood it. She saw love, she could always see it so clear when all Madi saw was patriarchy and dominance.
She had gone too far...all her actions had never earned one satisfaction but caused so much mess and disturbances.
"You are just trying to make it look like it's all me because you started this problem, Madison Maria...you asked him to marry her and now she is trapped...you do not get an easy pass out every time...own it up!"
It was her fault...all her fault. He said it right. He had said the truth and it hurt her ego, her pride...it disturbed her knowing she would forever be trapped in that circle of guilt for instilling that idea in Kian's head...forever locking Tinsley in the prison, burning the key to her freedom.
What she had thought was love...turned out something else. A love...such a strong feeling...then how did she end up betraying the only woman she had ever loved...the only person she loved so much more than herself.
Then how could she qualify herself for judging what is love...which one was and which was not??
Now that everything had drawn upon her and it was too late to take the road not taken, what was she going to do??
If love felt trapped?? Was it not love anymore?
But did we not want love to envelop us, encircle us with its clutch... won't it feel trapped then too?
Was it too late to correct it all now?? Was it too late even to try and seek out the path of correctness??
"I will tell you only one thing..."
She said, parting away from the hug. Kian was only looking at her, with all his attention directed in her way.
"She still loves you!"
And it made him breathe in and out as if his lungs had gotten the hold of fresh air only after an hour of drowning under the water.
"What else does matter??"
She questioned him, rubbing her tears away with the back of her hand. She continued...continued to do what Lana would have done if she was still here, standing beside her as always.
"If or not she is carrying your child or someone else's...either way her heart has always belonged to you and if you step out only because of that...I have nothing to say more..."
Madison went on. She could not even think before the words kept slipping out of her mouth as if she herself did not know what she was speaking out in the air.
"If she still could love you as you are...why can't you accept a part that would be hers too even if it's not yours...it would be her!"
