Chapter 142 - An argument

With a fearful expression, "I don't mind, but I'm sorry for whatever I might have done to get you this angry." Diana replied.

Ethan looked up at her fearful gaze and slammed his fist on the bed beside her. "What the f*ck is wrong with you Diana? Can't we last a week without you having to apologize for something?" He asked, rising up and folding his hand above his chest, while Diana also sat up, looking into his eyes with her expression still fearful.

"I'm sorry." She said. She has never heard Ethan use such vulgar words. Not on her or anyone.

"Don't tell me you're sorry, because you're not! What do you take me for hun? you f*cking flirt with someone in front of me! she touched you and you responded to it like I didn't exist!" Ethan growled.

Diana's heart skipped instantly. He has never get this angry or raised his voice at her. "It's related to my work." she said in a low tone, blinking her eyes, but not looking away from his eyes.

"You think that's the case here? Don't give me that crappy excuse! Either it's related to work or not; you could have avoided making me see that, but it's like 'he wouldn't do anything anyway, he's an idiot and all I have to say is sorry and he wouldn't mind' to you."

"No Ethan!"

"You saw me looking at you and my gaze felt like an encouragement to you. Did I mean nothing to you? Do you even consider how I will feel seeing you flirt with someone?"

"She's a girl. I didn't know you will take it like this."

Ethan scoffed, "she's a girl? You're telling me girls can't have a relationship with each other?"

"I can't cheat on you."

"You're telling me her touches on your body, with your flirty gaze with her is just girly thing?"

"It's related to my work."

"You shouldn't have made me see that Diana. I felt like I'm a piece of sh*t and didn't mean anything to you. Like a fool!"

"I'm not well knowledged in this relationship stuff. I will be more careful from now on. I'm sorry." Diana pleaded.

"You think it's my second? Do you think I learned to respect you from a book or received a lecture on it? When will I stop hearing the 2 words ' I'm sorry ' over and over again. Have I ever disrespect you? Hurt your feelings?"

With her eyes heavy with tears; she stood up and tried to hug him, but he stepped back, "don't! put on your clothes." He said.

"Ethan, you're so angry, I'm scared." She said, her tears falling down uncontrollably.

"Don't cry." He replied, his gaze softened a little.

Reaching her hand behind her; she unhooked her bra straps and let it fall.

Ethan quickly look away, "stop that!"

"If it will assure you that I'm only for you and wouldn't look at anyone else, then let's do it. Make me a woman, your woman and it will remain so." She said and stepped forward, held his hand with her tears still escaping her eyes.

Before, she could placed his hand to her breast; Ethan  retracted his hand from hers and reached for his shirt.

"Ethan, I know I'm not perfect, but I will be careful please. Don't be so angry. I don't like seeing you like this." She said, as her eyes traced his movements and watched him returned to where she stood, not looking at her body and reached his shirt around her.

"Why didn't you want to do it. I want you to be assured that…"

"Stop it! I don't need your body to feel assured. I told you I could discern acting from reality. I'm pissed with how you do it in front of me like I'm a fool for agreeing to everything. I'm not asking you not to do your job, but don't make me witness you do it." he said and put the shirt on her.

"I promise it won't happen again." Diana said, as he helped buttoned up the shirt.

"You can leave. Let's talk tomorrow. I have some work to do. We won't be going out today." He said.

"Ethan I said.."

"Please. I want to be alone." Ethan replied.

Getting outside his room and hearing him turned the lock from inside; Diana sat down, her back resting on his door and burst into tears, covering her eyes with both palms.

She knew he was right. She actually felt like he wouldn't do anything and was free with the girl. She knew they barely lasted a week without she, having to apologize for one thing or the other. She just kept screwing up and he understood and forgave her immediately.

Immediately she shed a single tear; he will hug her and advise her not to repeat the mistake again. She knew she has overdone it this time.

When he was angry in the car; she felt like, he will forgive whatever she did after they got home and talked about it, which is why she didn't press much.

She hasn't seen him this pissed. She couldn't dare deny all his claims. She just didn't know he will feel so hurt.

Meanwhile; Ethan went into the study in his room and was discussing with Hannah, requesting the progress of her purchase on Shane's company's shares.

To him, all these still led to one person. If Shane is out; Diana won't give him any excuse to keep doing this job, unless she really didn't want him anymore.

After a few hours, his phone rang and Sarah informed him Diana has been crying outside his door and refused to leave. Not even when she pleaded with her.

Ethan was shocked and rushed outside, to see her in an awful shape, she looks so broken, that he felt like he's the one that wronged her and felt bad.

Seeing that he opened the door; Diana quickly stood up and hugged him, which he didn't resist, but still feeling guilty that he left her crying outside his door since all these while.

"I'm sorry. I admit I took advantage of your feelings. I admit to everything, just don't get so angry with me. I promise not to do anything I will have to apologize on from now. Don't change towards me, I can't handle it." She said, tightening his arm around him.
