Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

116 The angry Miss. Scarle

Scarlett started pacing in the house all angry when Raymond didn't pick her call. She tried again, but that effort also went in vain.

"Ugghh.... Why isn't he picking my call?", she said getting all irritated.

She called his office next and got to know that he had already left an hour back. Hearing that her mind started wandering in all random directions.

"Is he out with that bitch?"

"Am I going to be deserted because of that slut?",

She thought to herself and started cursing Akira. Then she dashed to the kitchen and made a dark coffee for herself and drank. Then she went to the guest room and looked at all her luggage that had been brought in.

She was shocked earlier when Raymond had asked for her luggage to be moved into the guest room. She was sure that she would move back to his bedroom in no time so she just made a face and didn't say much a day before, but the thought of him being with Akira right now somehow made her upset. She took one of her suitcases and moved to his bedroom and arranged her clothes in his closet. She then laid her makeup products neatly at the vanity and then gave a pleasing look at the bedroom which now gave a vibe that it was occupied by a couple. A shrewd smile etched on her face and she danced around merrily with a twirl.

Then she checked her phone again.

But alas there was so message from Raymond.

In a mad fit of rage, she went down and picked up her car keys and started in the direction of his office. She didn't know if she would be able to find him, she didn't know if the direction was ok, but she just continued driving hoping to catch them in some cafe or restaurant. It was pouring like anything but she wanted to defy the wrath of nature with her own immaturity.

She drove around two miles and then suddenly stopped. Then she pulled her car back a few feet.

She saw Raymond's car on the side of the road with the hazard light on. All scared she immediately got down from her car and rushed forward. The moment she closed in, she saw Akira moving forward and hugging Raymond. Her body twining on Raymond's like a climber. Raymond's hand swiftly moving under her shirt exploring her back. Her anger spiked in an instant and she started banging on the car door incessantly.

"Open the door Raymond", screamed Scarlett.

They both looked in her direction of the sound, all surprised.

Akira felt like she was stuck with a 1000 volt lightening. She quickly moved back to her seat and adjusted her clothes. Raymond couldn't believe his luck that of all the people Scarlett would come and bang on his window. Making a straight face he came out of the car and closed the door with unsurmountable anger. The thud sound of the door closing was so loud that even the deafening noise of rain and thunder had no chance in front of it.

"Why are you here?", he roared.

"Should not I be the one asking you this question?", Scarlett said screaming at the top of her lungs.

Akira also came out of the car and stood outside. She wanted to explain and clear the things between them. She was ready to take all the blame upon herself and be the vamp. But she didn't want to be the reason that created a wedge between these two.

She moved closer to Scarlett so that she could explain the whole thing to her first because she knew that if Raymond spoke then he probably would sabotage his relationship with Scarlett in a blink.

"It's all my fault, Scarlett. Please let me explain. Today I went..."

"SLAP"

"Owwww", Akira winced in pain as Scarlett gave her a tight slap on her face with all her might.

Raymond's eyes were filled with rage seeing his woman hurt and he immediately raised his hand to hit Scarlett.

But Akira timely rushed forward and blocked him. She pushed him back with all the forces that she could reckon and then looked at him in the eye and said,

"If you trust me then let me handle this!!!".

Raymond didn't say a word. His fists were clenched and his all his veins started to throb. But he knew that Akira was mature enough and he respected her ability to make the right decisions. So he stormed away and sat inside his car.

Akira then turned towards Scarlett. Now she was not at all in a mood to play the blame game.

"Look I get it that you are mad. I would have been mad had I been at your place. But you have to know that its none of his fault. We both like each other and somehow we strayed a bit because of everything that was going on. It might look all wrong to you but trust me he is not cheating behind your back. He still has the same respect for you and still wants to father your child, the same way that he wanted to a couple of months back".

"Cheating behind my back? You are explaining to me that all this that is happening is behind my back? You are stealing him right under my nose but trust me I am not going to let that happen", Scarlett hissed.

Hearing her spout words like venom, Akira was going all numb but still continued to defend herself.

"I am not stealing anything from under your nose or whatever Scarlett. He isn't yours, to begin with from the first place. You left him, you killed his emotions and orphaned him in the worst possible way and you still expect him to be yours? I am really surprised", Akira said and she had a smirk on her face.

"You know nothing Akira. You were just something to fill his void. But you are forgetting that I am his entirety. I make him complete, not you", she said and caressed her belly with a victorious smile on her face.

And suddenly just like that, Akira's face fell.
