Chapter 89
Aurora stiffened at the sharpness in his voice. “Money has nothing to do with it, it’s how you made me feel, Gabriel. Caged. Imprisoned.”
“Caged! Is that what you call my love now! Great Aurora,” he stepped back and clapped “bravo! Now, my love was imprisoned for you but I recall you telling me how good you feel with me. Tell me what I did wrong, tell me!” He snapped at her.
Aurora gasped hearing the violence in his voice. ” I gave you my heart, my love, my emotions, everything to you. I accepted your childishness, helped you in growing up into this maturity,” he gestured at her body up and down with his hand. “I didn’t let you feel any less even knowing that you can never give a man pleasure with this frigid body of yours, Aurora. What more can I do to make you feel love, Aurora. Answer me.”
“You could have accepted me the way I am Gabriel. You tried to change me for yourself, you tried to control me. I had dreams but never believed in them, you wanted me to wash dishes in your restaurant when I wanted to design jewellery, you mocked my dreams…”
He grabbed her hand tightly, “I tried to show you the reality of your dreams. I tried to show you that you were nothing without your father’s name but I was wrong and no one’s happier about it than me. You proved yourself in this world without your last name, congratulations on it. But what about me? Am I nothing more than a toy to you who you want to discard like old clothes because now you have found a new toy? What did he have that I don’t have except for money?”
Aurora snatched his hand from his grip. “I already told you, it has nothing to do with money. I just don’t feel anything for you anymore Gabriel…”
“So four months were enough for you to forget your lifetime promises,” he chuckled. “I was in the hospital, fighting for my life but your face gave me strength to fight for it. I told myself every night that my Aurora is waiting for me but I didn’t know the girl for whom I defeated death ran into another man’s arms the first chance she got!”
Aurora left the breath she was holding. Hospital? “What hospital? What happened to you?”
“Why do you care? You don’t love me anymore. What does it matter to you that some people attacked me? They tried to kill me. I somehow survived their attack. The police kept me under their protection for three months, Aurora. I was in a hospital bed, fighting to come back to you, to meet you, hold you again in my arms but when I came my beloved stabbed me in the back by telling me that she didn’t love me anymore. Didn’t you feel any shame while cheating on me, you unfaithful who*e!”
Blood drained from her face, her hands went to her lips, a loud gasp left her mouth. “Gabriel!”
Gabriel cursed himself. “I am sorry, I got emotional for a moment, I shouldn’t have talked with you like that. I am sorry. You called my love a cage, Aurora, then I am freeing you from this cage, you are no longer imprisoned with me,” a chock left Gabriel’s throat, tears descended her cheek in anger and pain. “Be happy, go and live your life the way you want with the man who showed you what love feels like.”
“Gabriel! I didn’t know about the attack. I will ask dad…”
“Keep your sympathy to yourself, Aurora Kings. I don’t need it and don’t show me your father’s money. I didn’t have much but what I have I am happy with it. You want me gone right, don’t worry, I will leave you with your prince charming. I will leave your life without a single word but you won’t find peace in your life Aurora. I loved you with everything in me and you threw me out of your life like an unwanted insect. Thank you for teaching me how wrong I was to believe you. Thanks to your greatness, I will never believe any girl again, I will never be able to love anyone again. But you, I wish you all the best in life, be happy, Aurora.”
Aurora didn’t want to hurt him, she only wanted things to end smoothly, this was too brutal for her to bear. “Gabriel, please, I never intended to…”
“No, you are right, Aurora. I was wrong when I tried to change you but I told you before why I was doing that. I feared losing you. I thought if you accept my lifestyle then there won’t be any problem for you in future with me but I was a fool to believe so. I was a fool. I don’t have any right to be here anymore, but you don’t feel guilty about anything. I will learn to live without you. I will learn to live without your presence in my life, without hearing your voice, no matter how much it kills me from inside I will bear this pain for your happiness. I was selfish to behave like that with you but not anymore. Go and live your fairytale happily ever after. I give you freedom from this cage, my last gift to you, Aurora,” he pulled her closer and placed a soft kiss on her head.
“Forgive me for making you feel like that, but I promise if you ever need me again, I will be there for you, if not as a lover than a friend. Aurora.”
He kissed her head once again, looked at her face in painful agony and walked out of her house without glancing back a single time.
Aurora watched him walking out with numbness, her mind was blank. She felt like a lifeless body at this moment.
On the other hand, Liam asked the driver to drive as fast as he could. His body was restless since Mike told him about a man coming to meet Aurora. He needed to know who the man was but he was stuck on the road. The distance felt neverending with every passing second. “Drive faster!” He barked at the driver and called Mike to know what was happening there.
“Sir, he left crying,” he told Liam the moment he accepted his call.
“Follow him and find out who he is. Go!” Liam ordered, he was going mad thinking about the man and why did he meet Aurora?Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
