Arranged Marriage

Chapter 7

Xenia's POV

"I am sorry, James. But, I hope you can understand me.", I tried to calm him down by comforting him.

He rolled his eyes annoyingly as he's still very disappointed and mad at me for my appearance on Justin's wedding.

He pulled my hand away and walked away from me without any eye contact to me. I felt a little heartbreaking at his action on me.

I still loves him, I mean I loves him. Justin isn't even a thing to me anymore. James may not be my first love but his my true love.

I haven't seen him in such a mess for a very long while. I haven't seen those disappointment and heartbreak on him for a very long while.

I stopped him by holding his wrist, and pushed myself to hug him from his back.

I rested my head on his shoulder and apologized to him "I am sorry. I promise this is the last time.".

I could feel his breathe and his heartbeat from his back, it's so odd. He didn't take his breathe properly. He's so down.

My hands were connected to each other on his muscular stomach but they were parted since James removed them away.

James pushed me away and decided to ignore me to show me his anger and disappointment.

I yelled at him "James, what's wrong with you? Please talk something, your silence is killing me. Please say something, yell at me, hit me, release your anger. Please at least show me your response.".

He turned to me immediately and raised his hand as high as he could. I squeezed my eyes as I knew he's going to release his anger by slapping me.

However, he didn't. He bit his inner cheeks, tightened his grip and some how managed to control himself.

He's squeezing his eyes and whispered in soft tone "No, I really don't allow you to do this anymore.".

I opened my eyes slowly after realizing that he won't hit me since I knew him very well. He had never beaten me, he's a very nice guy, he loves me truthfully.

He turned himself away from me and questioned me "Why? Just tell me why?".

I sighed and replied "I promise this is the last time, I never love him, but only you. You are my only true love.".

He still didn't want to make any eye contact with me, he still managed to form something to tell me "No, please stop this. I don't want this to happen for the second times anymore. Once is just enough, that's all.".

I shook him off and denied "No, James. We are broke as fuck. We need money, our company is facing money and economic problem. We had spent almost all of our personal money, yet the problem still couldn't be solved. We are broke now.".

He disagreed with me "No, we can sell all of our properties. We can sell our house, our cars and some jewelries. Everything's gonna be alright, there's always a way for every problem. I can handle this. Just promise me that you won't...".

I argued with him and cut him off "The problem is that I don't want back to that kind of life anymore.".

I could see depress and hurt in his eyes after hearing my problem. He looked at me and reassured with me "What do you mean?".
