Wounded Hearts

Chapter 11: Possessive

Atlas's POV

I sat in my room, drowned in my thoughts about my angel. After putting Leo to sleep, I finally got some time to myself. The dinner scene flashed in front of my mind making me clench my jaw in anger. 'why couldn't she accept me?, why did she refuse to marry me?'. I know....I know what I did to her was wrong...it was a sin but I know she still loves me till this day....I can see it in her eyes even though she is amazing at hiding her expressions and feelings. I don't want to lose Faith to someone else. I don't know how I will live without her or even see her with someone who is not me....but didn't I do that to her?...didn't I marry Melissa and also move on?....

I pulled my hair in frustration thinking about her. Gosh I'm such an asshole but I can't move on from her. It's impossible. Even though I was married to Melissa which was one of my biggest mistakes in my life...I was still very possessive over Faith and hated seeing her with other men.

I woke up with arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I looked over to the figure and found Melissa nuzzling up to my chest. I slowly unwrapped her arms and got out of the bed carefully, not wanting to wake her up. I didn't feel the tingles with Melissa like I felt with Faith but never would I want to touch that slut who dared to cheat on me behind my back. 

I left my room and slowly walked towards Faith's room. She and her family were living with us for a few months as they has some construction work going on next door in their house. I slowly opened the door thinking that she might be sleeping but found her bed empty. I frowned and entered the room fully. Her room was clean but it looked like no one had ever used it. 'Hold on a moment....why the hell am I even here?' I thought to myself. 

I sighed and left her room walking downstairs but my eyes kept looking around for her....to have a glance of her angelic face. As I entered the main hall , I heard laugher coming from the front door. I walked closer to the sound and clenched my jaw in anger as I glared at the scene. Faith was happily laughing with another man.....another man who wasn't me?. I scoffed at that thought. If she can cheat then of course she can do other things. 

I gritted my teeth when I saw her give the man a kiss on the cheek causing my blood to boil in anger and jealosuy?. "babe...we need to go clubbing tonight. It's been ages girl....please come...I promise I won't leave you" he said holding her hand making me glare at it. She sighed and ran her hand through her long, soft brown hair that I once loved playing with. "I can't Liam....after what happened , I don't really want to go back...I don't want to have a repeat  of what happened that night" she said with a sad tone. "I was lucky I got saved or else I would have been-" she stopped talking as she looked away trying to control her tears. 'what night?...what was she talking about?...what would have happened if that person was not there'? I had all these questions in my mind. 

He gave her a sympathetic look and cupped her cheeks causing me to rage. "Faith yo-"...."WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" my voice boomed cutting the fucker off. They both turned towards me while I just glared at Faith who was looking at me with wide, shocked eyes like I had caught her doing something wrong. "A-atlas" she whispered. "I-"..."Who are you?" I spat at the guy cutting her off. He looked at me from top to bottom and smirked. "Well, well look what we have here" he said licking his lips which made me even more angry. "So this is what you do?...bring men over at your home?..you are in my house...how dare you bring your bed warmers here acting like a total slut" I  spat at her but then laughed while looking at her "Of course...you already are one" I smirked at her but seeing her fresh tears broke my heart. I know what I said was hurtful...heck even I hated myself for saying this but seeing her tears caused me pain and from that I knew she still affected me. No matter how much I fake to love Melissa, I know that Faith will always rule my heart. 

"wait..wait..wait...did you just call her a slut" the guy also called Liam said with disbelief. "You-" I pointed at him, "get out of my f*****g property" I hissed. He rolled his eyes "f**k you....and my friend isn't a slut you f*****g piece of s**t" he snapped while I glared at him. He turned towards her and wiped her tears "I'm going to go now hun before he becomes even more crazy....If he hurts you then call me" he said and kissed her forehead giving me a last glare and then walked out. 

I looked at Faith who was looking at me with anger. I grabbed her arm harshly and brought her into the house while she stayed silent which was pissing me off. I looked at her forehead where that fucker kissed her and wiped it furiously from her head while she looked at me with shock. "What the hell are you doing?" she snapped but I ignored her, continuing wiping that i***t's lips from her skin. "What the f**k Atlas...GET OFF" she yelled pushing me away. I gave her a mean glare and pulled her back to me. "Listen to me Faith....if I see you with that man again then I will f*****g kill him along with you...Understood?" I said with a menacing tone. She glared back and pushed me away making me stumble a bit. Damn this girl has strength. 

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?...I can be with whoever I want to be with" she spat at my face. "Shut the f**k up and listen Faith and stop arguing with me. If I find you with that man again or if I find out you are going to a night club then watch what I will do to you....you are mine and dare step out of this house with him or any other male, then I will lock you in your room, tying you to the bed" I threatned in anger. She gasped and looked at me with shock and disbeleif. 

A humourless laughter left her lips as she glared at me "You are such a f*****g hypocrite Atlas...such two faced asshole. You yourself are f*****g married...living your life the way you want....who the hell are you tell me who I can be with or what I can do?. You are not father and I am not yours. The day you got married was the day I belonged to myself. I am my own person...so don't you f*****g dare try and control me because you have a damn wife for that" she hissed with a tear dripping out of her left eye. I felt a pang of hurt knowing I was married to someone else and not her but I didn't love Melissa at all...I just wanted to make Faith feel how it hurts seeing the one you love with someone else. My face softened when I saw her tears. I slowly walked towards her and wiped her tear of her cheek causing her to close her eye. I went down to her ear and whispered "You are mine and remember my words or else....." I whispered menacingly and turned leaving her behind.

Present

I f*****g regret saying those words to her. How could I hurt her like that?...why did I do that?...why couldn't I see the love and innocence in her eyes?....only if Melissa didn't lie.....only if Melissa didn't betray me...betray us.....It was all because of her and for that.....

I will always hate you Melissa.........
