Chapter 33
Jhanice calmed down quickly because she forgot to pretend in front of Kelly.
"Adrian and I don't have a relationship. I'm just worried that the child might get stuck in your stomach because he hugged you tightly," she explained.
"You can't fool me because you have a relationship with Adrian. Is that why you accused me of stealing and put me in jail because you like Adrian?" she shrugged.
Jhanice laughed mischievously. She wanted to show Adrian that everything Kelly had accused her of was untrue and baseless and that it was just her hallucinations because of her mental illness.
Adrian immediately got what Jhanice meant so he tamed Kelly.
"Babe, you're the only one I love so take care of our baby in your womb. Don't be sad because I'm always here for you and our baby," Adrian kissed Kelly's hand and gently squeezed it.
Jhanice left because she couldn’t bear to watch Adrian’s tender care for Kelly. It was as if her heart had been pierced and she was afraid that she might do something bad to Kelly.
"Babe, I love you so much. I've been looking for you for a long time. Your mom kicked me out of the mansion and put me in jail," she complained to Adrian.
Adrian had no idea what Kelly was saying. For him, it was just hallucinations because she was not in her right mind.
"Get well and be strong because I will always visit you here," he advised Kelly as he massaged her belly.
"Babe, am I hard to believe? They oppressed me and imprisoned me here!"
Adrian hugged Kelly because he felt sorry for her condition.
"I'm sane and I'm not mentally ill! Did you even believe their accusation against me?"
Adrian stared at Kelly intently and he could see that her eyes were sincere.
"Babe, please calm down. I'll help you get out of here, just be kind and follow the doctor's advice because that's for the good of our baby," Adrian threw a sweet smile at Kelly.
"Babe, I'll wait for what you promised me."
Kelly's tears flowed because she didn't want to let Adrian go.
"Be careful here and always follow the doctor's advice,"
Adrian gently squeezed Kelly's hands and then he left.
Meanwhile, Lyca notices Stephen's sadness. He hasn't been to work for a week and always wants to be alone.
"Sweetheart, are you going through anything?" Lyca asked as she approached Stephen.
Stephen was just silent and didn't seem to notice what Lyca was asking him. She felt sorry for him and felt guilt over her harassment of Stephen.
"Do you really love Kelly?" she asked in her hoarse voice.
Stephen turned to her and hugged her tightly.
"Sweetheart, forgive me," Stephen moaned.
That was the first time Stephen's tears flowed.
"Sweetheart, I love you but I love Kelly more than my life," Stephen admitted to Lyca.
It was as if Lyca's heart was pounding at what Stephen had confessed to her. She understood how Stephen felt and was hurt every time she saw Stephen going through a hard time.
"Sweetheart, forgive me for harassing you, I shouldn't be doing this to you," Lyca said as she caressed Stephen's sturdy arm.
Lyca regrets all her wrongdoings because she is to blame for their relationship and she can’t blame Stephen if he’s already obsessed with Kelly.
"Would you like a drink?" she offered Stephen.
Stephen let go of his hug with Lyca and he nodded.
Lyca hurried out of Stephen's room and ordered their assistant to get cold wine for the two of them.
Their assistant quickly took cold wine and delivered it to Stephen's room.
"Forgive me for what I confessed to you," Stephen said as he sipped a glass of wine.
"I understand you," Lyca replied as she poured cold wine into her glass. Her chest tightened but she had to calm down because Stephen needed sympathy for his grief.
"If you really love Kelly there's nothing more I can do," she sighed.
Lyca sympathized with Stephen's grief. She loved Stephen dearly and she was even more hurt when she saw him grieving and suffering himself.
"Sweetheart, you've been drinking a lot," she reminded Stephen as she snatched the bottle he was holding.
"Please, give me another bottle," he insisted.
Lyca did nothing but give Stephen another bottle of wine.
"Just drink slowly," she advised Stephen as he took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Stephen's forehead.
It was late at night but Stephen still couldn't stop drinking.
Stephen's vision darkened and he suddenly fainted. Lyca immediately supports Stephen towards his bed.
"Didn't I tell you to just slow down on drinking!" Lyca scolded Stephen as she took off Stephen's T-shirt.
Stephen stared at her intently, especially since she was wearing a thin and tight dress.
"Sweetheart, why are you staring at me like that? You're really drunk," she said while massaging Stephen's chest.
Stephen didn't say a word but he pulled Lyca towards his chest and he kissed her nicely. Lyca let go of what Stephen was doing to her and in fact she liked what Stephen was doing to her because she had already missed his kiss on her.
Stephen got up and laid Lyca on his bed. He took off Lyca's clothes and slowly tasted the sweetness on Lyca's lips.
"Sweetheart," Lyca moaned.
Stephen leaned over Lyca and they felt the warmth of their bodies.
"Kelly, I love you so much and you're the only one who can make me happy like this," Stephen whispered.
Lyca couldn't hide the pain because of what Stephen whispered to her but she just let Stephen take over her that night. Stephen was the first to get into her femininity and what the two of them were doing was not new to her.
Her heart was broken but she had to accept that no matter what she did she would never be able to regain Stephen’s love for her.
"Sweetheart, I'm to blame for everything. It's my fault why you kept your heart away from me," Lyca burst into tears as she felt the tightness of her chest.
Stephen hurried to his feet when he heard the sound of his alarm clock. Many bottles were scattered on his floor and he remembered that he had been drunk last night. As he picked up the bottles on the floor he saw a white envelope lying on his desk so he immediately picked it up.
His forehead furrowed because it was a letter from Lyca.
He was curious about the content of the letter so he immediately read it.
Dear sweetheart,
Forgive me for what I should have done before. I woke up to the fact that you didn’t really love me anymore. Forgive me for harassing you and forcing myself on you. I shouldn't have done that. I did that because I love you so much. Forgive me for all my mistakes, I have become selfish and I do not think of your own happiness. I am freeing you my love because I do not want to see you hurt and suffer because of my greed. When you read this I am definitely on a plane to France. I hope I find my happiness there. Don't worry because I won't hurt myself again. My parents know everything and they support me in my decision. Remember, I love you so much I and don’t want to see you hurt. Always take care of yourself and hopefully you and Kelly will be happy.
Lyca
