Chereads / THE BROKEN TIES BETWEEN US / Chapter 33 - Blackout

Chapter 33 - Blackout

Everyone was enjoying the night and the festivities, all except for one man. He was sitting at a table near the dark corner of the room whilst sipping some wine and watching intently a beautiful golden curly haired woman dressed in a gorgeous silver glittering dress that was hugging her beautiful body features perfectly, laughing and enjoying the festivities whilst in the company of a man. The man who had garnered all the attention and respect from the people in the hall after he donated $5 billion and bought all the auctioned items earlier at the auction and donation event.

He watched as the two of them laughed, danced to the music and sometimes hug each other passionately.

Timothy could not do anything but helplessly watch Amya in David's company. Eversince that day he found out about their relationship, he tried and fought so hard to accept the reality that Amya moved on but no matter how much he tried, he still just could not accept the fact that he lost Amya to someone else and his heart was twisting in pain just watching her laughing and enjoying herself with David, it really hurt, it really hurt a lot.

Timothy sighed and continued drinking his wine. After calming himself down fromĀ  the conversation he had with Amya ealier, he came back into the room just to try and enjoy the rest of the festivities but he just could not. Mainly because Amya and David were the center of attention during the entire festivities. So it was hard to avoid his dilemma no matter how much he tried. So without thinking any further, Timothy drank the last drops of his wine and stood up from his chair to go and find something stronger to drink at the bar. He just could not continue to watch the couple and he needed to drink something strong to help ease his heartache.

Just as he stood up to leave, his eyes fell on a man wearing a white and black suit, he was also standing at the far corner of the room, and he was also watching Amya and David interact with each other. Timothy recognized him instantly, 'its him! The man that I saw speaking with Amya that day at the parking lot! But what is he doing here and what does he want?' questioned Timothy within himself. And he watched as the man kept his gaze on Amya for a little while and afterwards turning to leave the room towards the door that leads to the passageway towards the garden. Timothy waited for a while and followed him out of the hall.

He followed him through the passage way leading into the garden and saw him approaching a woman wearing a red glittering dress with a white and red furry coat standing in the garden whilst overlooking the sky. Light snow was already falling down covering the once green garden into a blanket of snow. Timothy found a pillar to hide himself and sneak a peek at the pair and also hear what they were saying.

"You shouldn't have come here...", said the man to the woman. "Imagine if someone had seen you and recognized you, things would have spar rowed out of control. And I thought that we agreed never to see each other again after our last conversation back at the house. So you should leave right now and never come back!" The woman just remained still and unmoving as if she did not hear what the man said. Then after some moments she finally uttered, "Aah....isn't ironic....how destiny tends to weave our paths together no matter how many times we try to run away from it". Then she started walking a little further into the garden. Then she picked up a flower and started dangling it in her hand then she said, "life is just like a flower, if it is watered and catered for gently with love it will bloom into the most beautiful thing you had ever seen." Then the woman started to pluck the petals from the flower and said, "And the most beautiful flower is the one that people would want to pluck out the most. Some do it to admire it and some only just for the fun of it. But the flower's destiny is still the same...it will dry up and wither away and end up being thrown out to be trotted over underfoot." And the woman threw the flower on the ground and stepped over it with her shoe and then said, "Well of course...unless if someone kills it quickly before it endures its sufferable demise...." The woman then turned to look at the other side giving her back to Timothy's view but facing the man. "You are lucky that your dear sweet daughter survived that accident....otherwise this would have been a day of....mourning instead of joy. But I can't guarantee you that she will be safe for long because I hate people who break their promises. So you better do what I told you to do otherwise...." And the woman then looked at the squashed flower on the ground and said, "the poor thing won't even know what hit her...and it will all be your fault..." Just as the woman finished speaking, the man gripped the woman's neck in rage and said in an angry low voice, "If you dare lay your hands on my daughter! I swear that I won't spare you and I will make sure that you rot in hell!!?" "And you will also rot in hell with me....don't think I have forgotten what you did you bastard!! I will....gladly enjoy it ...the moment that your daughter learns the entire truth, and that whore of a mother of hers realizes that she had a daughter with a monster like you!!" Said the woman in heaving breaths due to the grip that the man had on her neck. "You don't scare me!! You are the one that ruined my life!! And for the other issue you are the one responsible and not me!! So don't try to shift the blame on me when you are the one that brought it upon yourself!!" Said the man and he released the woman's neck.

After being released from the tight grip, the woman coughed a little bit, trying to catch her breath. "Don't ever come back here ever again! You hear me! And stay away from me and my family!!" Said the man and he started moving away from the woman. "Don't think....that this is over Felix!! Have you forgotten that we are soon going to become family", said the woman. Her words stopped Felix in his tracks and he slowly turned around to look at her. "Your Amya is going to get married to my David soon. I wonder how David is going to react when he finds out...that his dear sweet Amya's father used to roll around with his own father's wife in bed and also that...he is the one responsible for taking away the life of the person that he loved and cherished the most in his life. What do you think is going to happen then huh.." Said Linda whilst seething with rage. Felix did not reply but he just turned around and exited from the garden using another exit.

Linda remained standing at the same position she was and she started screaming and kicking the grass in anger. Timothy remained stoned at his hiding place behind the pillar. He just could not believe what he just heard, 'what has his *Belle* got involved into. And now it turns out that, that man is Amya's father and the woman..the woman must be David's mother. What the hell is going on!! Does it mean that the person responsible for Amya's accident is David's mother. Could it be that what I have just heard is the reason why she would want to kill Amya? For revenge about what Amya's father did to her? And who is that person that Amya's father killed that was so precious to David!? And what is he going to do about what he just heard? Should he tell Amya? Would she believe him?' These were the thoughts running amok in Timothy's mind whilst hiding behind his pillar waiting for David's mother to leave the place. After staying there for some time, David's mother finally left the scene using the same exit that Amya's father used. Timothy waited for a few more minutes before he left his hiding place and started heading back towards the entrance back into the hall where the event was taking place. But before he could grab the door handle to open the door, something heavy hit his head and he went into a blackout.
