His Scarred Beauty (Complete)

Chapter 32 Unveiled

"To the shoot Ethan. Didn't I inform you?"

He just stares, getting up from the bed.
And she found this as an opportunity to leave.

She has just turned her back on him ,when he speaks again.

"Stop running from me Vivian."

Her footsteps stop and she clenches her fists.

Closing her eyes again, trying to calm her breathing.

While he moves closer assessing her silence, his nose inhaling her scent breath hitting her neck.

"And please stop lying to me atleast now Vivian."

She turns around, putting on her best fascade of yet another lie.

"What are you saying Ethan? Are you drunk?"

And that's when his lips move up in a broken smile.
And he lightly chuckles at himself.

"Indeed I have been......."

Moving closer to her, he palms her face in his hands. Making her eyes to widen.

His brown eyes looking broken an vulnerable, making a heaviness to settle in her insides.

"Untill now."

She has never been so confused before. What was he trying to say?
This was no way like the Ethan she has known in the last 4 months.

He took care of her, yes. Even though they didn't see each other much, he used to text her everyday.
Asking her if she was feeling anxious, if she has eaten her food...if she needed his help.

She even remembers him coming to her room, late at night to check if she was sleeping peacefully.

But all this time, he didn't dared to touch her.

He didnt showed his love.

Care yes but love. Never?

"I have hurted you alot.... haven't I?"

He says running his thumb on her cheeks, looking at her in vulnerability.

"Haven't I Vivian?"

She lowers her eyes, not able to  look into his broken brown orbs.

"You don't know what you are saying Ethan. Come I will-"

He doesn't stop, pulling up her face he makes her again look up.

"Please...just let me speak...I need to."
.
.

" A bastard like me never deserved you Vivian....why...what... what did you even love in me?"

He was drunk.

She was sure of this now or Ethan Lockwood would have never said her the things he just did.

Pushing him back , she turns around to leave.

Pain flashes in his eyes,when she broke free from his grip.But she doesn't let it melt her heart from within.

"Vivian! Stop! Vivian please!"

He pleaded, begging her to only make her fasten her footsteps.

"Shut it Ethan."

She says frustrated to only have him reach the door first and slam it shut.

"I can't.....I can't let you go Vivian....not again please...."

She folds her arms, looking at him in disbelief.

"I left you?"

Her voice rising with the storm inside her.
