His Scarred Beauty (Complete)

Chapter 33 The Secrets

"Beauty is to be achieved not gifted.

Scars are to be embraced not humiliated.

For the very lines on a caterpillar that are ridiculed as ugly one day.

Form into the scales of a butterfly that are desired and appreciated.

"How would it have mattered Ethan?"

She asks, staring into his eyes. Making his fingers to caress her waist with his thumb.

"You didn't even trust me enough to tell me Vivian."

"It was as much of my child as it was yours."

"I was it's father dammit!'

She breathes heavily, getting up to make his fingers drop from her waist.

"A father who was in love with another women Ethan"

"A father who left his mother for her."

"A father who called me a whore!!"

He closes his eyes, breathing heavily.
To start again in desperation.

"But I didn't knew Vivian!"

"I...said it because Soph said you and Elijah were-"

He couldn't complete and she scoffs looking at him in disbelief.

"And you trusted her like always....bravo Ethan Brovo!"

She says clapping and he couldn't meet her eyes, ashamed of himself.

"You always were so sure that I fuc*** behind your back...you believe I betrayed you...you believed I killed her...you belived you hated me......"

"But then......what changed now Ethan?"

"What if the child was not yours...what if Sophie was saying the truth......what if it was Elijah's...I was a whore...."

"Wasn't I?"

He looks up at her , moving forward to touch her to only make her step back.

"No Ethan no.Don't you dare touch me!"

"But Vivian please...try and understand..."

" If you would have told me about our child...I would have left anything for us."

"I... would have taken the responsibility and you know it Vivian."

"Yet you still kept me in dark..."

She stares at him, tears ready to spill out.
But she held them.

She can't be weak....not again.

They both made mistakes, no one alone can be blamed for it.But she has suffered way more than he can ever imagine.

She was the victim.

"I...tried okay!  I thought I will tell you because you deserved to know......I..tried contacting you in prison but you...you didn't wanted to see my face ! Everytime they gave me a chance to call family....I called you Ethan! But you ...."

"You never picked my calls dammit! "

She says, making him stare at her in shock.

"Fuc"!"

He curses, running his hand through his hair. Looking around at the the room exhaling, to finally look back at her.
Holding her hand in his.

"I ...it was very difficult for me Vivian...I..had lost my best friend....I was sulking....I was a broken man....I didn't think about anything else... locking myself from this world...."
