Grieving Hearts [Completed]

21- you did nonetheless.

I know he is angry and I shouldn't poke him right now but enough is enough. He is behaving as if he is doing me a favour

"As if it's my fault! You blackmail me because that's all you know. You are just a pathetic coward who doesn't know how to fight fare for something. You are a sick...." Before I can finish he cut off in between.

"Enough" he shouted at me and pinned me against the door his hands gripping tightly on my shoulder and his face was dangerous close to me.

His anger was palpable in the air. I will be lying if I say this didn't scared me. My heart beat sped up as my sympathetic system kicked in.

"Don't test my patience-" he said in a calm but intimidating voice.

"-once I loose it you won't like the consequence and one more insulting word out of your smart mouth and I will show you what I am capable of. So I am asking you nicely for the last time. What is your decision?"

He asked tightening his hold brutally on my shoulder in warning. I am sure it will leave bruises.

This is his real face. This is exactly why I can't live with him because no matter how much he claims he can never change. I will always have to think twice before saying anything to him always fearing what will aggitate him and unleash the beast within him.

I can't go back to live that artificial life where I don't even have the freedom of speech.

But now I know what I need to do. His mere presence suffocates me and I just need to breath again. I am ready to pay any price if that means I would never have to see his face again.

A lone tear slipped from my eyes even after trying my best to hold it back. This brought him back to reality and he immidiatly left me, I hissed in pain and he took two steps back.

His eyes immidiatly landed on my shoulder which how bore bruises because of his manhandling.

"Fuck." He cursed. " I..I..am really sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."he said looking genuinely concerned.

"But you did nonetheless.....like always." I whispered the last part to my self.

Before he can continue further with his fake apology I announced." I accept your deal." And with that all the guilt on his face went out of the window to be replaced with happiness. Agustin is the true definition of selfish.

"But I have some conditions." I said, which wiped away his happiness instantaneous and he eyed me suspiciously.

"And what would that be." He asked.

"First of I won't share a room with you."

"What!" He said in disbelief. "If you haven't paid attention I said we will live like a normal couple."

"But we are anything but normal couple and I can't pretend otherwise. This is non negotiable." I said with finality.

He cluctched his hair in frustration and grudgingly said. "Okay..." through gritted teeth.

"Secondly I want you to promise that you will never hurt Alex. If you do the deal will be off instantaneously."as soon as I said that his face showed various emotions first that of confusion then disbelief and hurt.

"You think I am capable of hurting a three year child?" He asked hurt evident in his voice.

"I don't know...I just know one thing, you are capable of anything to everything if it is for your benefit." I said the truth.

He closed his eyes and took some deep calming breaths and finally said."okay.... I won't hurt him you have my words." Thank God I thought he will again be angry and do something crazy.

"Then we finally have a deal I suppose." He asked.

"Yes I guess we have but how do I know you will abide by your words?"

"Because I am saying so...you have my words of honor."

I snorted at that."Oh! yes your words they have got to be the most worthless thing in this word. I don't give two shits about your words. It won't take you a second to go back at your words. I am not that dumb any more to believe in your words. I want it in written."

He gave me a muderous look and clenched his teeth hard but after a while said, through gritted teeth "fine I will tell my lawyer to keep the papers ready if that puts your soul at ease."

"Oh and also tell him to keep the divorce paper ready. Why delay the inevitable?" I said.

"We will see." He said with confidence. Oh how much I will love to crush his confidence and ego. Too bad I have to wait three months for that.

I looked at my watch. Shit, I am already an hour late! Alex must be waiting for me. "Okay now I have to leave." With that I turned towards the door.

"Where do you think you are going."he asked

"Isn't that obvious? I am going home. Wait a minute...You thought that I will start living with you from now on didn't you? I am not living with you before I sign the papers." I said.

"Fine-"he seethed."but I am dropping you."

"Oh acting gentle man I see. I can manage just fine on my own as I had since last two years." I taunted.

"It's useless arguing with you-" He cluctched his hair in frustration.

"Oh getting irritated already? Aawww three months haven't started yet." I said innocently fluttering my eyelashes at him.

To this he just narrowed his eyes at me and said" you know how to push my buttons but I am warning you don't push me to my limits. You won't like the consequences." He warned but when I didn't show any signs of giving up he finally said.

"Ok fine but I am not letting you take a cab at this time of night. I am calling jackob he will drop you it will just take him five minutes to reach here."he said in defeated voice.

"No nee...." He cut off in between and said.

"No more arguing-" he said with finality in his voice." it's either that or I am dropping you myself anyways we have to live together in...."

"I will go with the former." I said, interrupting him. I just want to be away from him.
