Mistaken Identity novel Chapter 68

Alex's POV

I bend over and kiss Kally tenderly on her lips, then pulled away because if I didn't I wouldn't make it to work today. With our foreheads together we look in each other's eyes and smile.

"Do you really have to go?," she whispers as she pouts. Her hands holding tight to my grey tie.

I give her a quick kiss and remove her hands from my tie. "Yes, I do. I wish I can stay here all day like yesterday but I do have to work."

"But you never complained about not going to work yesterday, in fact you were begging me to stay in bed." I smile as her words. I was indeed begging her. How can I resist her? She's beautiful and sexy and she has my senses on alert. I needed to stay in bed to satisfy all the dirty desires that were in my head and make them come real.

"Yes, you are indeed correct. How could I leave the bed when you obviously placed some curse on me? First curse was for me falling madly, deeply and truly in love with you. The second well is for bewitching me, I can't seem to get you out of my system." I admit. Never in all my life, I've never being this smitten by a woman and this specific woman got me head over heels in love. There Is not one day that she's not on my mind. Damn! Not one moment. It's like she's casted a spell on me.

"Then don't, I don't want to be out of your system. Yes, you can say I did cast a spell. Witches do come with red hairs, although mine is dyed black, I'm a natural red head. Maybe I did cast a spell and you know what?" she leaned closer to me. "I'm not going to stop that spell."

I laugh, "I don't want you to."

She smile. "Good."

"Darling I still need to go to work though. If I don't work I can't keep this luxurious life style."

She shakes her head. "We don't have to live luxurious, as long as we are together, I'm okay."

"Me too but in order for you to be happy I need to buy you diamonds, gold, pearls, emeralds, jades; anything you like."

"What I like, no, love is right in front of me. You are what I need and only you." She states. I have everything confident that she loves me with everything she's got, just like I love her. I love her, too much to not think about life without her. I'd probably die.

"But, I still need to work."

She sighs. "You're not going to stop until you've win so go ahead, go to work. I'll be right her waiting for you."

"Oh, you're so sweet." I said and she smile.

"Go before I come for you."

I lift my hands in surrender, "Okay, okay!" I start working to the bedroom door then I turn around and smile. "I love you. See at five."

"Love you too," she shouts after me. I smile and close the bedroom door.

I look at my watch for the fifth time since evening. It's fifteen minutes to three. Although I didn't leave work until five I'm dying to go home to see my princess. I miss her already. It's funny how I reached from disliking her to madly loving her.

I look down at my desk. It was covered with many paper works and documents that was waiting to have my signature on it. My laptop desktop was open on a Microsoft Office to a presentation that I needed to make tomorrow at a important meeting. I ran my hands through my hair and sigh. All this can do tomorrow, I need to go home and see my baby, my love.

I stood up from the leather seat then grabbed my car keys from my desk. I took up my briefcase and walked out of the office and straight to the elevator. I need to see my baby because I'm missing her like crazy. When the elevator reached the parking lot, I quickly walk to my car. I open the door and place the briefcase on the passenger seat then place the key in the ignition. I'm going home to my baby.

After fifteen minutes through the busy traffic, I am finally home. I open the door to my condo.

"Honey, I'm home." I got no response so I place the keys on the hook that is on the wall and started to loosen my tie. "Honey, Where are you sweetheart?" I walked around until I reach the living hall. As I spot her a smile immediately came to my face but soon disappear when I notice her hear was down and tears were falling. I quickly ran to her side to know what was wrong.

I bend on my knees to her level, I cup her hands in my palm. "What's wrong, my love?"

She stay silent but the tears still falling. "Tell me, darling. Why are you crying? Did something bad happen? Hmm, love. What happened?" I looked her distress face. I don't like to see her looking this sad at all. I really want to know what's wrong but she refuse to tell me. I don't know what other ways I can make her not cry. Seeing her cry makes me want to cry too. It hurts.

"Please tell me what's wrong, Seeing you like this hurts me, please why are you crying? Did something bad happen while I was gone." I look at her pleading for a reply. Neither was she answering but she wasn't looking at me either, although my hands were cupping her face, her eyes were looking somewhere else. She was avoiding my gaze.

"Please, Please tell me." I beg. I need to know who made her cry so I can show them a piece of me.

"I remember." She finally spoke, her voice barely audible.

"What exactly do you remember?" I asked, my voice a little shaky.

"Everything." I look at her and slowly release my hands from her cheeks. She remembers being hurt by me. She remembers, of course she does! I knew that this moment would come but this isn't how I had imagine it. I imagine her smiling, not crying.

"What now?" I spoke not really knowing what else to say. What now? Where do we go from here?

"Nowhere."

I raised my brows. "What do you mean?" I swallowed. What exactly does she mean?

She sighed then after a couple seconds after she took a deep breath. "We're not going anywhere because I'm leaving. I can't stay with you after you've hurt me so much."

I look at her shock, "No."

She got up from the chair and moved away from me. I got up after her. No, she wasn't leaving her.

"No, You're not leaving me. You love me as I love you."

"No, Alex. You've hurt me too much, I can't stay. I have to leave."

I walked to where she was and held her soft hands in mine. "Please don't," my voice whimpered.

"I have to. You know you I felt being thrown off of someone's house. How it feels to have that one person you love throwing a loaded suitcase in the back of your head? Do you know how it feels to walk on a road with a suitcase? Do you know how it feels to have a migraine for days person you got hit in the head by a suitcase. Do you know it feels to cry yourself to sleep every night because the person you love doesn't trust you? Do you know how it felt when you hurt me? Do you know how it feels to keep getting hurt by persons how you love? Well, let me tell you. It hurts, it hurts like hell."

Her tears running down her cheeks with shame and so were mine. I know that I hurt her, I know.

"I know that I've hurt you but please, please, please forgive me."

"I don't think I can forgive you. I've being hurt too much to have myself being hurt one more time."

"But I promise I won't hurt you. I won't, I love you. You are my heart. Why can't you see that? I'll never hurt you. I love you with every fiber of my being." I used the back of my hands to wipe my tears. She needs to see that she is my one true love, my only love. "Please. Please, we'll get married and we'll raise our babies at home in LA. Just please forgive me."

"I can't." she looked down.

"Please." I shout and plea at the same time. "You promised. You promise you'll never leave me then don't. Keep your promise."

We walked to the direction of the door. "A promise is a comfort to a fool"

I sigh and look at her, not knowing what to really say.

"My sister and Luke will get my bags for me"

"So you're telling me you forgave her but not me."

"She's my sister, my twin sister. We're bond for life. We are all imperfect and we make mistakes. She made a mistake."

"So did I and I'm begging you to forgive me for it."

"I'm sorry, but I can't. I just can't. Goodbye Alexander." She walked to direction of the door. I heard it open close. I stood there waiting, maybe waiting for it to be open but I never did.

So this is what it feels to have your heart broken.
