Wounded Hearts

Chapter 8: I'm not giving up on you

Present 

Faith's POV

"Ma'am, Mr Campbell is really interested in our new project and is planning on taking us on. Do you want me to book an appointment with him?" My PA asked while I signed some files. "Yeah and make sure it's after 2pm as I'm really busy before that" I said with a calm tone. "Sure Ma'am. Anything else you want me to do?" she asked softly. I closed my file and looked at her, "No....you can leave for the day...Thank you Lily" I said without any expression. She gave me a nod and left the room. 

I continued reading a few important files until I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I raised my voice. I heard the door open and footsteps walking towards me. I then looked up and sighed seeing the figure in front of me. 'Why the hell does he always have to turn up and ruin my mood?'

I ignored his presence and went back to my files. I heard the chair in front of me screech as the figure sat down. I felt his gaze burning into my face making me frustrated and annoyed. I grit my teeth and glared at the bastard in front of me. "What the f**k is your problem?...do you not have anything to do other than pestering me?" I asked with an irritated voice. He just smiled at me and leaned closer to the table. "Finally you noticed me" he whispered causing me to roll my eyes. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked him with a cold tone. "I miss you" he said without hesitating. I gave him a blank look and we stared at each other for a few seconds before I broke it off. "I am busy so please stop disturbing me Mr Williams" "Atlas" he said. "Call me Atlas....I hate it when you become formal with me. It's been years since I've heard my name come out of your mouth. I hate it when you call me Mr Williams" he said with pain. I scoffed "Well...that is your surname...what else do you want me to call you?....how about Mr Jerk, or Mr douchbag...or Mr....Cheater? huh?" I hissed making him look away in regret and guilt. "P...please Fai I-",  "it's Miss Abdella for you" I stated. "Fait-", "I said it's Miss Abdella for you Mr Williams....I have no relation to you whatsoever and since we are working I advise you to call me Miss Abdella" I ordered coldly. "Fai-Miss Abdella...please don't do this to me...to us" he whispered with sadness. 

I laughed without humour, raising my eyebrow"us?...please come out of your dreamland and face the reality...there is no us Mr Williams" I said calmly. "No....there is an 'us'...there always was and I will prove it to you". I glared at him for a few seconds...the silence surrounding us which made me even more irritated. I stood up and walked towards my door.  "Where are you going?" he asked me with an unknown tone. "Away from you" I spat and continued walking until I felt a hand grab me, pulling me towards a hard chest which by the way felt like a rock hard wall. "What the fuck...get off me" I snapped in anger. Atlas wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him causing me to trash around. I pushed him as hard as I could but he didn't let go. "You are crossing your limits now Mr Williams, get your filthy hands off my body right now!" I said menacingly. "Filthy hands?....Fai these are the same hands that touched you and-" he stopped, realising what he said. He slowly let go of me, causing me to push him away making him stumble a bit. He looked at me with guilt. "Fai I....I'm so sorry I didn-" I scoffed cutting him off. "You mean the same hands you used to caress her, touch her and the same hand you raised on me...is that the hand you are talking about?" I mocked.

"F-fai" he said with a shaky voice, regret leaking out of it. "I....I'm so sorry"...."Your sorry won't do anything" I hissed with a tear rolling down my cheek. "Stop annoying me....stop coming after me because I will not forgive you.....I will not" I sniffed and looked away. 

I felt him move closer to me. He raised his hand which caused me to flinch. He looked taken aback, red eyes with slight tears shown in his eyes. "Fai" he whispered as he looked at me with complete sorrow. "I will never hurt you my love and.........I won't leave you Fai...you are mine Fai...you always were...I'm not going to give up on you....on us......Never" he stated with confidence...his face now shown without any expressions. "I'm not yours Mr Williams....and never will be. You already belong to someone else and she belongs to you....I'm already out of the picture like she once told me. So move on and let me move on...maybe one day I could find someone who could truly love me and trust me for once" I said quietly, a tear rolling down my cheek, purposely talking about someone loving me which will never happen as love doesn't exist in my world anymore.

All of a sudden I was pulled into his arms. He wrapped his arms around my body tightly, caging me. "No one can love you like I do....you are going to be no one's...UNDERSTOOD?...NO ONE'S ONLY MINE. No one can steal you away from me.... I will win you back my badass angel. I will do everything but I will not let you move on so easily. I know I hurt you....I know I don't deserve you but Fai-" he cupped my cheeks with a tear falling out of his eye while I look at him with disbelief. "I love you so much....so f*****g much...you don't understand....you don't understand how much crazy I become when you mention about another man coming in your life or even seeing you with a man...it f*****g kills me it-" 

"It f*****g kills you?" I asked him with shock and disbelief...."It kills you to see me with another man?....it kills you to even hear a man's name in my life huh?.....then what do you think I felt when I SAW YOU WITH HER!....HOW DO YOU THINK I FELT WHEN YOU KISSED HER EVERYTIME YOU CAME IN FRONT OF ME?....HOW DO YOU THINK I FELT WHEN I HEARD YOUR f*****g MOANS FROM THE OTHER ROOM WHILE YOU MADE LOVE WITH HER?.....how do you think it made me feel finding out you were married to her instead of me?....you think I was feeling normal?...you think it was easy for me?....It f*****g killed me....it broke me....it shattered my heart seeing another woman in your arms....so don't you f*****g act like it's kills you because I am not a cheater like you....I stayed faithful for the last 5 years.....at least you didn't see me with another guy acting like a damn slut like you called me...now get the f**k out of my face" I snapped at the end with tears now rolling down my cheeks. 

I turned away from him and furiously wiped my cheeks. I felt arms again wrap around my waist from the back and wetness on my neck. He was crying but I didn't care...I didn't give a s**t anymore. "I'm so sorry Fai...I'm so f*****g sorry...I was a f*****g dickhead...I know....and I'm so sorry for everything I did.....but let me heal you my love...please....let me in....please just one chance....just one chance my angel...please....please" he pleaded. 

I wiped my newly fresh tears and shrugged him off my body. "Don't show your face to me again" I said coldly and left the room leaving him behind. 

"I won't fall for you again Mr Williams.....I'm not going to repeat my mistake again" I whispered to myself with determination and confidence, controlling my tears that were daring to fall out.
