chapter 16

Edward pov...

"Hey Edward *******". Someone from behind called out to me.

When i hear his voice i realised who it was.

"It's been a long time right. How are you". He asked me.

"Why are you here". I asked him.

"To meet you. Ofcourse". He said to me.

Then i get up from the bench and turn around to see his face.

"You didn't even changed a little bit after all this time". I said to him.

Then i walks towards him and stand in the front.

"Yeah it's good to see you again, Alexander". I said to him and shook his hand.

(P.S: yes he's the same Alexander from 'devil in disguise'. You should definitely read the book before this chapter. ).

"So what's troubling you boy". He said to me.

"You should stop calling me that. Im all grown up now". I replied back

"Yeah, yeah". He said to me.

Then we both goes to sit on the bench

"So tell me?". He ask me after sitting down.

"It's just that I'm all messed up now". I replied back

"What you mean". He says looking at me.

"You know my wife lisa. I think she doesn't like me". I said to him.

"What made you think. Anyway congratulations on you wedding". He said to me.

"The way she treat me. And she said she hate me. She doesn't like me at all". I replied back

"You know Edward. We can't force someone to love us back. If they love us Let them go. If they do they'll stay". He tells me.

"So a man who never loved anyone in his life is giving me advice". I tease him.

"Who said i Never loved anyone?". He said to me.

"Wait What?, who?". I said him.

"Let it be a secret ". He said to me.

"What should I do man". I said to him

"Tell me all the details". He asked me

Then i tells him everything. After hearing all that.

"All i can say is time will tell you everything". He said to me.

"What you mean". I asked him

"You'll know". He replied back

Then we talked for sometime...

"So it's time to go it was nice meeting you ". He said to me

"Yeah you too". I replied back

Then he started walking towards the exit and stopped midway and turned around to face me.

"Hey Edward. You know you need to go back there. There's something you left behide. You need to take care of it". He said to me and i nod.

After sitting there for some more time. I decided to return to party.

When i entered the party carl and hannah runs towards me.

"Why did he come here?". Hannah asked me

"Did he do anything?". Carl asked me

"Are you okay?" they both asked me together.

"Relax guys he just came and talked to me". I replied back to them

"About what exactly". Carl asked me

"What you think he'll talk about". I asked him

"So he came here to talk about your return right". He asked me

"Yeah ". I replied back

"And?. Did you give any reply?". He asked me

"No!". I tells him.

"Good". He said to me

And when we were talking lisa came to me and said.

"Lets go we are leaving the party ". She said to me in a coldly manner.

I didn't say anything just nodded and we left after that.

The car ride to back home was very silent. She didn't say anything.

After reaching the apartment i knew exactly what will happen. She's very angry at me.

"Can't you walk straight where were your eyes at?". She asked me.

"Actually somebody from behind pushed me". I replied back

"So now you're making excuses". She said to me

"Why are you making this all hard for me" she asked me

"I didn't mean it". I replied back

"What you mean. You just distroyed a big deal of mine. I was making a progress there. And you came just break it all to pieces". She tells me.

" I shouldn't have taken you with me". She tells me

"Sorry😖". I says to her.

"No you're not the one to blame. If there's someone to blame it's your parents. They should've taught you about manners". She tells me. The moment she talk about my parents. Tears started to fall from my eyes. I can't hold it anymore.

"Please don't talk about my parents like that. They don't know anything". I begs ger.

"Where are they. Call them. Let me talk to them about their son". She tells me

"I can't contact them". I replied back

" Why. Where are they. I need to meet them. I never heard or meeted them. I should have met them from day one ". She tells me.

I can't hold it anymore. I fall to the ground and stand there in my knee. Tears are coming like an ocean.

"Sorry😖'. I says to her.

"Stop crying. You are not the one to blame. They should've taught you manners or how to give respect to someone". She says to me.

"I didn't mean any of it please don't bring my parents in to this🥺". I begged her.

"Ahhh I can't deal with any of this I'm leaving ". She says and leaves the apartment.

"No!" I thought to myself.

I stand there so sometime and after that i get up and sitt on the sofa.

That when carl came to the apartment and realised what happened. I then tells him everything.

After some time later he leaves the room.

Lisa pov..

"What am i even doing. Why am i like this". I thought to myself

Suddenly i got a call from a number.

"Hello". I answered the call

"It's carl". He replied

"Why you called me". I asked him

"Meet me tomorrow. I'll send fhe location". He said to me

"Why should I?". I asked him.

"You said you want to meet his parents right. I'll send the location came to there". He said to me.

"Okay" i replied back and cuts the call.
