Chapter 207 - Let Me Hug You For The Last Time

Instead of unlocking the door, she turned towards him and fisted his shirt. She slammed his lips with her lips. She took his lower lips and tried to kiss him but being naive she could kiss him properly.

He didn't expect her bold act. He doesn't even understand how to react to her kiss. After a few seconds, he sensed the wetness on his knuckles. He moved a few inches away from her face and noticed tears in her eyes. 

" You killed the person named Lawrence a long time ago. Your tears don't affect me now…" he said.

" I knew it. I lost your true love with my arrogance and stupidity. For seven years, I was searching for you to win your heart. But I think I am too late to get back your love " she cried, hugging him.

" If possible, please forgive me, Lawrence, for hurting you " she sobbed. He tried to move away from her because he doesn't want to get hurt by her again. But she held him tightly and begged, " please...let me hug you for five minutes. I was dying to see you for seven years….please… I know it is wrong to hug you when you have someone in your heart. But only for once….If you don't want to see my face, I won't come in front of you again in your life. Just for one last time, let me hug you"

On hearing her words, he could push her away. His heart ached on seeing her tears but this time he doesn't want to get affected by her. He didn't push her nor hug her. He remained quiet as if nothing was happening before him. She stayed in the same position hugging him for more than twenty minutes. She was scared to leave him thinking that she will never get a chance to touch him in her life.

" Miss. Green, if you are done with me, please unlock the door. I have to go…" he said, breaking the silence. She loosened her grip around his torso and raised her face. She looked into him with her red puffy eyes. 

" Thank you for giving me a chance to hug you…" she said in a broken voice. He smiled bitterly and replied, " I gave a chance to you because I want to end everything with you all here itself " 

She looked into his eyes, hoping for a bit of love for her in his eyes but she could see only his anger. She raised her shivering hands in the air and placed them on both sides of Martin's jaws. She smiled weakly and said, " I wish you a happy and successful life ". She leaned closer to him and kissed his cheeks, closing her eyes. 

He doesn't want to stay closer to her because he doesn't make the same mistake that he made a few years ago. " If you finished your acting, just unlock the door. I don't want to share even the same air with you "

" You still hate me so much? " she asked him.

" If there is another word other than hatred in the dictionary to express I would have mentioned that word. For now….if you want to hear what I feel for you then listen, I HATE YOU from the bottom of my heart " he said rudely.

While crying silently, she unlocked the door of the car. He immediately got down from the car and walked away without looking back at her. He would hear her sobbing but he doesn't want the past to be repeated.

…..

Instead of his hurting words, she didn't leave the place but stayed there inside the car waiting for him. She hoped he would come out changing his mind. She wished him to talk with her, give her one last chance to prove herself. She waited for him for two hours but he didn't come out of the house.

He doesn't want her to notice him watching her through the glass window. She was unaware of it as the room where he was standing was dark due to the nighttime. 

At last, she wiped her tears and came out of the car. She wrote something on the white note. She dropped it on the letters box which was hung on the wall beside the main door. Then she get in the car and drove to her home.

As soon as she left the car, he thought about what she wrote on it. He quickly came out of the house and opened the letterbox and took the white note from it.

" Dear Lawerence….

I love you…

If you are reading this note. It means you still have feelings for me. If you had the heart to love an arrogant and crazy Emily in the past then I hope you will love changed Emily whose heart beats only for her Lawrence. 

I wish only one thing to happen before I die...I want you to forgive me and love me like before.

maybe I am not a poet or an artist like you to express my feelings impressively. I expressed all my feelings sincerely in a few words. 

Waiting to hear my name from your lips very soon….

…..

He folded it and went inside. For a few minutes, he doesn't understand what to think. 

" Don't listen to your heart. Be practical…." His mind warned.

He ignored the feelings which were surfing in his heart and packed his luggage. He was going to begin from the scrap in his life. This time he wanted to listen to his mind but not to his heart. Whenever he heard to his heart, he was hurt deeply. 

....

Adrian was so upset after visiting Vanessa in the hospital. He returned to the company and completed his work over there. Then he went to the bar to have a drink. He ordered the wine to the bartender and sat on the chair. All he would think is about her tears and her hateful words. 

He spends some time in the bar about the blast in the company. He doesn't understand who was trying to destroy him other than Mr. Green. 

When he was having his drink, the bartender came to him and said, " Sir...you already have one bottle. Do you want to continue? "

His words reminded me of Katherine. Then he thought that she might be waiting for him at home. He paid the bill and drove to his home.

At Adrian's home

As the condition in the company was uncertain, Katherine thought he might be late in the night. So she had her dinner and took Sam to their bedroom to sleep. She narrated the bedtime stories to him as she used to do before marrying Adrian. While listening to her, Sam slept cuddling with his mom. She looked at the wall clock, it was night ten. She thought he would be busy with the work at the company. She wanted to wait for him but she was so sleepy. Slowly she drifted to sleep.

Adrian entered the bedroom and looked at the sleeping faces of his wife and his son. He walked towards the wardrobe and took the wine bottle from it. He sat on the sling chair.

…...

When she was asleep, suddenly she heard some sound in the room. Instantly she opened her eyes and noticed Adrian was sitting in the chair. There was only a night lamp in the room. She quickly stood up from the bed and walked towards him without wearing a flipflop to her feet. 

" Ad...why didn't you wake me? Did you have your dinner? " Asking him questions she screamed in pain all of sudden.

" Ahhh…" 

Then she noticed shattered glass pieces on the floor. Adrian quickly walked towards her and took out the glass piece from the back of her feet. The cut was not deep but the blood oozed out. 

" Baby...I am so sorry. The glass slipped from my hand accidentally " he said. Then she sensed the smell of alcohol from him. He looked as if he was bathed in the alcohol.

" First go and change your dress…" she said in a serious tone. " Let me clean this mess on the floor…" he said.

" No need. First, go and change your dress…" she repeated. He nodded and went to the bathroom. Meanwhile, she cleaned the broken glass pieces on the floor and throw them in the trash bin.

…..

She took a first aid box from the shelf to dress her cut. When she cleaned the antiseptic lotion, the pain was severe. She had tears in her eyes. Adrian noticed it and leaned on the floor, " Buttercup...I am so sorry". He took the bandage and dressed the wound. She raised her head and replied, " it's okay " 

" Tell me. Why do you take alcohol that too not in limit? " She questioned him.

" My mood was not good. So …." He reasoned.

" Am I not there to share your problem, your pain? Then why? " She asked, cupping his face.

"Love.... Don't talk like that. I don't want you to be upset.. Just I was thinking about the person who planned the blast in our company…" he finally told what he was thinking in his mind.
