Chapter 100- The Breakup
“ Cole, what's wrong with you? I've been trying to reach you all day," I said as I looked at his disheveled state in confusion. He looked like he had been drinking all day.
“ Why are you here Anna?" he asked and I looked at him in confusion, what has gotten into him?
“ I don't understand you, I've been trying to call you all day after you told me you were going to see your friend but you didn't pick and you didn't leave me a message and then I come here, you're asking me why I'm here, really? Are you forgetting that we're engaged?..." I said as I showed him my ring…" And that gives me the right to worry about you,”
“ Just leave please," he said and I became even more confused,
I moved closer to him and he moved back like I was a plague and he was trying to avoid me.
“ What has gotten into you Cole?! You're acting strange and it's scaring me, are you drunk?” He sure was smelling of alcohol but the Cole I know wouldn't act this way to me even if he were drunk.
“ You're scaring me Cole, are you sick?" He didn't answer as he looked down refusing to meet my eyes.
I tried to move closer to him so I could hug him but he moved back again and I couldn't help but feel hurt.
“ What the fuck is going on? Say something," I said in confusion and fear.
" I should have said this earlier, I don't know what I was thinking,” he finally spoke but his words weren't clear to me.
“ What are you talking about?" I asked him as he turned his back to me and then he put his hands in his pocket throwing his head back like he was looking at the ceiling.
“ I felt insulted, I felt insulted that day," he said in a voice that sent shivers down my spine, his voice was so cold and distant.
“ Stop going in circles Cole, did I do something wrong? Just tell me," I said, although I couldn't think of what I might have done to upset him but I had to be sure.
“ I'm a man who women would die for, they can do anything to have my attention but then there was this very gorgeous woman who I had a passionate night with, she was good, she made me want to be wild, that night she brought out the beast in me but I woke up and she was gone leaving me like I was a call boy, I'm a man with an ego you know, I was about to look for her but she came to me instead, right into my trap and the plan went so smoothly," he said and I scrunch my brows in confusion, I've never been so confused.
Nothing he said made sense.
“ What are you saying Cole? Turn around so I can see your face,” I said and he slowly turned.
" You're so soft and easy Anna, very easy. You see, the plan was to make you like me or should I say love me and then at the perfect time I'll leave you just like you left me, you should check my records with women, no woman has ever, ever left me,” he said and I just stare at him.
" What did you take? Must be messing with your head,” I said and he laughed, the cold type of laughter that makes you question your existence.
“ Drank a little but I'm sober now and everything I'm saying to you is the truth," he said,
“ Well, I don't believe you," I said as I folded my hands looking at him and he shrugged.
“ Well, you're invited to my wedding," he said,
“ What wedding?" I asked,
“ Well, the one with my one true woman," he said and just then Mirabel walked to him wearing just his shirt and I moved back in shock.
This wasn't real.
“ What is going on Cole?" I asked as I looked between him and Mirabel.
“ Are you blind, obviously we're getting married," she said with a smirk and at that moment I felt like I was going to die.
“ Is this a joke or what? Tell me what's going on Cole, tell me!” I shouted in anger.
" Oh please, keep it down,” Mirabel said with an eye roll… “ Whatever you're seeing is what is happening,"
“ I don't believe you, I don't!" I said, this was a dream, it was all a lie.
“ Should we give her a show, my love?" Mirabel asked as Cole's eyes turned to me and I would have sworn that I saw something flash in them and then he turned to Mirabel and kissed her right in front of me like he would kiss me.
I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces. Cole wouldn't do this to me for fun, was he telling the truth that he just played with me for his ego?
Could this be it? Was this all a lie? Everything we had was a lie?
He held her waist as he kissed her deeply and she moaned into the kiss. I just couldn't take it anymore, I turned away from them and ran out of the penthouse.
As soon as I was outside I rested my back on the wall as I tried to control my sobs. Was he with her all afternoon while I was getting worried about him?
I can't believe this, something in me tells me this wasn't true, something was wrong somewhere. But why would he kiss her in front of me?
If I didn't want to believe him before I don't know what to think after watching him kiss Mirabel. I looked at my ring, a sign that there might have been something between us.
I wanted to believe something was happening to Cole that he wasn't telling me but the moment he kissed Mirabel whatever hope or trust I had for him went down.
I really wanted to believe something was wrong, I wanted to but not anymore.
I wiped my tears as I walked to the elevator.
What happens when the one man you love has been playing with you? Well, as you can see, it went well. You should definitely try men.
I walked out of the building as I got into my car in anger. I couldn't control the tears as they came rushing down.
“ I don't believe you, no, I fucking hate you!" I said not knowing if I wanted to hate him or not.
Why would he do this? Why?
