Wounded Hearts

Chapter 5: Atlas

Atlas's POV

I sat in my office with my son in my lap. He looked exactly like me but had her  eyes. He was sobbing in my chest while I rocked back and forth trying to calm him down. "Shhh....it's okay baby. Mommy didn't mean to say that...she was just a bit tired and busy" I consoled him. He looked up at me with his big cute, teary eyes. "Mommy love me...no love me?" he asked innocently. I kissed his chubby cheek "Of course...Mommy and Daddy love you a lot Leo" I said with a smile. He smiled and clapped his hands. I chuckled and put him down for him to crawl around on the floor. 

I leaned back in my chair, remembering about the scene that just happened a few minutes ago. I felt hurt seeing so much hatred in her eyes for me but I deserved it for everything I did to her. I broke all my promises with her while she stayed faithful...I didn't deserve her but I am selfish. I can't....I just can't live without her....that woman....my badass angel...she is my damn life...my world.

I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to make her forgive me even though I don't deserve it. I don't know how to get the love of my life to love me again. My bubbly, lively badass angel who always had a smile on her face was now a cold, heartless business woman and the reason behind that is me and her. How could I be so stupid to believe in someone's lies....how could I?

"Mel why are crying?...what happened? come here" I said in worry and hugged her. Mel was like a sister to me. She was someone I was protective over. "A-atlas...Fai-" she sobbed in my arms. I broke the hug and looked at her with worry. "Fai?...what happened to her? " I grabbed her arms and shook her..."What happened to my Faith...tell me Mel...is she fine...is she hurt...TELL ME!" I yelled in her face making her flinch. I would die if something happened to my baby. Gosh she is my life line. 

"Atlas....you...you need to take a look at this" she said with a shaky voice and handed me her phone. I looked at her with confusion but took her phone and looked at it. The phone filled with moans as I see a man hover over my girl....my girl...my Faith. I grip the phone tightly glaring at the screen in shock and heartbreak. "NO....NO WHAT THE f**k IS THIS MEL?....STOP PLAYING PRANKS ON ME" I said smashing the phone into the wall making her flinch. "I...I'm not pranking you Atlas" she said with tears". "Who sent you this Melissa...WHO?!" I shouted. "R-remember Ben....from our college...he was at the club at that time and he saw this and sent it to me" she cried. 

"and you beleive that s**t Mel? why do you even have Ben in your contacts?" I asked furiously. Her face paled as she looked away. "H-he followed me on Instagram...so I followed him back but we never spoke. This was the first time" she said looking a bit nervous. "I'm gonna kill that fucker" I hissed. 

I quickly made a call "I am going to send you a video. Check if it's morphed" I ordered through the phone. After a few hours I got a call. "What were the results?" I asked. "Sir....actually....the footage you sent......was indeed real" he confessed. I froze in shock.....his words echoing in my ears. "Sir?....Sir?...are you there sir?"  I dropped my phone and sat on my bed in shock. Tears rolled down my cheeks at the results. My Fai.....my girl...my love cheated? ......on me?...

I felt arms wrap around me as I was still in shock. I looked up with red teary eyes and saw Mel hugging me. "she....she cheated...she-" "Shhhh....." Mel hugged me tighter. "let it out Atlas...let it out" she whispered and with that I broke down....broke down with the betrayal of the woman who was the love of my life. She broke my heart to pieces and through them away?. why Faith....why?

"I know you are hurt but I found out something else" she took out her broken phone which thankfully got saved and took out a recording. "Mr Williams I'm only with Atlas for his money. I mean he is slowly becoming a world star, why would I let go of an opportunity like that?" the voice who sounded like Faith said with a weird tone making me grit my teeth. 

I clench my jaw in anger and fist my palms. I will ruin you Faith Abdella, I will make you regret for playing with my feelings.

Present

I wiped the tear off my cheek and looked at Leo who was playing with some building blocks. "I'm so sorry my Fai....I wish I could go back in time and change everything" I whispered to no one.
