After a tiring day I rush to my ex-fiancé's grandmother's house.
Donovan is waiting for me in the living room, sitting on the couch. His gaze betrays a strange glint as he stands up when I arrive.
-Where is she?, I said in a voice as confident as possible
-She is waiting for you in her room, he said to me
I nod, my heart beating faster with every step I take towards his grandmother's room. I mentally prepare myself to face his questions, his curious looks looking for answers.
As I enter the room, I see the frail figure of the old lady lying on the bed. Her face lights up with a smile when she sees me.
-My dear, you have come, she said in a weak but warm voice.
I approach slowly and take his hand in mine.
-Of course, grandma. How are you feeling ?
She sighs slightly. "Not very well, my dear. But your presence comforts me."
I smiled at him, trying to hide my own anxiety.
-It's going to be okay, I whispered to him in a soft voice.
She then looks at me with a scrutinizing gaze, as if she could read my thoughts.
-There's something bothering you, isn't there?
I look away, unable to meet his gaze.
-It's nothing
She nods, but I can see in her eyes that she knows I'm hiding something from her.
As I prepare to leave Donovan's grandmother's room, accompanied by Donovan himself, a palpable tension arises between us. His presence beside me weighs on me, but I can't get rid of him so easily.
I close the door behind me before exhaling loudly.
-Why are you acting like that?, he asks me
I look him straight in the eyes.
-You disgust me, that's all
He clenches his fists, a dark expression crossing his face.
-Can you at least explain to me what I did to disgust you?
-Are you kidding me !
-No, it's the opposite !
-I know you're cheating on me!
-No, I will never do that!
-Stop lying to me I know everything
-It was Visha who told you
-Yes she told me everything, that's why I want to break up!
Before he can respond, a loud thud echoes from the adjacent room, followed by the sound of objects falling to the floor. Instinctively, we rush inside.
Donovan's grandmother clutches her heart, her face ashen, struggling to breathe. Donovan rushes to his side, panicking.
-Grandma! What's happening?, he shouts in shock
I felt helpless.
-Quickly, call an ambulance!, I told him in a trembling voice.
He nods, already dialing the emergency number. As we desperately wait for help to arrive, I realize that this situation is much more serious than our own quarrels.
Donovan's grandmother's life is at stake, and we must put our differences aside to help her.
In silence, we stand with the old lady, praying for her recovery.
But Donovan didn't care and intended to push me to the limit.
-I'm tired of playing this game, Donovan suddenly told me.
-You finally show your true face!
-Huyn remember the scar you have on your leg, he suddenly said to me with a smirk.
I looked at him coldly.
-It was I who saved your life, he added, have you forgotten?
-So what?, I chuckled, you want me to be your little dog for life?
-You owe me your life, he smiled at me
He smiled at me darkly.
-I will never be yours, I told him in a tone full of disgust
-Huyn I think you have no choice, he said to me
-That's what we'll see, I replied aggressively, and don't you dare call me by my name, you don't deserve it
I can't wait to ruin his fucking reputation, I thought beside myself
-Besides, if I helped you rebuild yourself, he admitted to me, I can also destroy you
My eyes widen.
-If you want me to be the villain of the story I can become one, he told me, but you might regret it
-Donovan war is already declared
