Chapter 48
Tristan looked up as soon as he sat down. “Why didn’t you go?”
“I can ask the same question.”
“I’m working, what’s your excuse?”
‘I thought you’d be here like you have been for weeks. Friday, let’s go to the bar. Maybe we’ll take the girls.
“I don’t have a personal assistant, so I have a lot of work to do.”
“Aren’t you the one who said you wanted to go ahead?” It’s been two weeks since you and Ciara broke up. There are new bars I want to go to. All hot girls come out and you might get lucky.
“I thought I saw a woman named Tanya, what does she think you took her?”
‘Actually, it will be there. I think you should go out and enjoy it.
‘He’s Ciara’s boyfriend and they live together. Do you think he wants to see me get a girl and doesn’t hate me for it? He’ll come back and tell me I don’t need this drama right now.”
“Oh Tristan, I hate to break this to you, but Ciara has moved.”
He slammed the lid on his laptop and looked out into the hall. “What are you talking about?” He felt his blood hot with jealousy. “Hey, hey, that girl is hot and men are falling all over her trying to date her.”
“Who sees them?”
“Well, nobody really.” He knew he was lying and this time he put his foot in it. He saw a flash of anger in Tristan’s eyes. “All I know is that she had dinner with a man last night.”
“WHICH?” he asked, smashing the desk with his fist.
‘I don’t know, Tanya won’t tell me, I didn’t ask either. I have to go home and change before I pick up Tanya.
– Lobby, give me your address. what time are you coming
“So you came to the club?”
“Yes, you will. Time to go back.” The only reason he wanted to go was to find out who Ciara was dating. She may not be with him anymore, but she still worries about him and wants to make sure the guy isn’t an idiot.
When he walked into the bar that night, he saw Robbie and Tanya, not the blondes with them. She walked up to him, called Robbie, and everyone turned to her. Then he saw Ciara and his heart skipped a beat. At that moment, he knew that his older brother had defended him and that he had been released. Tristan and Ciara looked into each other’s eyes and said nothing. “I’ll get you some alcohol, so wait here.” Tanya said, hugging Robbie.
“Tristan,” she said softly so he couldn’t hear her voice. – Nice, Ciara. Her hand touched one of the earrings she bought. “I thought these would suit you.” He hated her and wanted to say something hurtful, but he couldn’t. When I saw him again, all my feelings for him came back to me.
He swallowed the lump in his throat and took a step back. – I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d be here.
“That’s fun. I didn’t know you’d come here. Now that you’re there, tell me who you saw.
He shook his head. – I didn’t see anyone.
“Do not lie.” Robbie said.
“Well, he lied to you. But even if I did, it’s none of your business. I’m sure you’re busy with many of your wives.”
He regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth. “Right. I watch a different pussy every night. But none of them were as sweet as you. I’ll turn around and hit you against the wall. He moved closer until he was pinned between himself and the wall. He puts his hand on her leg and climbs up. “What do you mean, I want to fuck the old days.”
She pushed him with all her might, raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. “Disgusting pig, I hate you.” He walked past her and headed for the exit. – Where is the man going? Tanya turned to Tristan.
“How do I know that?”
– What you said?
“I told you to get out so I could hate you.” He smiled and gave more applause. Tanya looked into the hall. “I’ll catch up with Ciara and take her home and do something about him.”
“Thanks. Now Tanya is mad at me.” She said looking at Tristan. ‘Then you shouldn’t have done this to us. Knowing that one of them will come here, we don’t know that none of us will.”
Robbie gave him something to drink. ‘We’ve been trying to figure out that you’re together. Why did you have to tell him what you did? You really hurt him. All you have to do is drink and talk to him.
Tristan gulped down the rest of his drink and handed Robbie the empty glass. – I left here. I will never see such a trick again. said he, and went away Not satisfied with what he had said, he saw the sadness in her eyes, and in a rage dragged her home. When I saw that figure, I was so close that my heart was pounding and the hole I left in my heart got bigger. **********************************************
Tanya caught up with Ciara before getting into the taxi. – Ciara is waiting for you.
– No, I’m going home.
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” he said and got into the cab next to him. ‘I’m really sorry tonight. Robbie and I tried to get you two back together. I didn’t know Tristan could be so stupid.
She watched eagerly, too surprised to cry. “You should have seen the way he looked at me, his eyes, what he said. He said he’s been seeing a different girl every night since we broke up, but I can’t believe it-he turned his head to look at Tanya. ‘He hit me because he wanted me out. It was like that when we first met, but this time he said it so cruelly. How did he treat me after what he’s been through?” “I’m sure he didn’t mean that. It’s probably bad and the flash just went off.
I was drinking at Tanya’s when I heard a knock on the door. Ciara’s heart started pounding and she wondered if Tristan was apologizing, but it was Robbie. He sat across from the women and took a drink offered to him. ‘Ciara, I am sorry for your behavior tonight and for my brother. I know it can be bad and I’m amazed at the way he treated you. I never saw him that way, but I think I regret it now.”
“may be. Knowing that I hurt him, that was the last thing I wanted, so I made the decision.”
– What solution? – suddenly scared and asked Tanya.
“Staying in a city like Tristan is too big for both of us to leave.”
– Hey, what do you mean by that? Tanya and Robbie said at the same time.
‘There’s a job I applied for in Paris, and if I want it, it’s mine. I wouldn’t risk falling for Tristan by staying here. I’m glad I left. We can both go ahead and beat each other.”
‘Tanya jumped up. “You can’t leave, that’s a big mistake. I have never emailed my CV, how can I get a reply? Realizing that he had told Ciara about his resume, he closed his mouth.
– Tanya, how did you get it?
“I did it for you. You and Tristan are living together and you’re never going back for another job. You love him and you don’t reject him.”
‘I was so disappointed in Tanya that I thought I could send an email. I’m going to call Paris tomorrow and tell them I’m hiring. please go to bed I don’t want to talk about Tristan anymore.
Before getting out of bed, Tanya waited until she had to go to work the next day. She was still mad at him for not sending her the CV and the apartment application. She understood that her friend wanted help, but she was still wrong. He opens his laptop and announces that he will be working in two weeks. ******************************
Robbie walks into Tristan’s office and goes straight to his desk, placing his hands on the desk. “How could you do what you did to Ciara?”
“That was two days ago, leave him alone.”
‘Hey you bloody fool. I wanted to be like you when I grew up. Rich, successful, great for the ladies, but nothing more. You can get the woman you want, but you’ll grow old alone, with no wife to love you, no children to call you.”
“I don’t need children, I don’t need a woman’s love. Robbie, love hurts and can destroy you. We all get along better without him. I’m very happy to be single and have the comfort I want.”
“But you haven’t been with anyone since Ciara left six weeks ago.”
“I’ve been busy so I haven’t had time.”
“Happy. You haven’t been with anyone because you still love them. For the love of God, go. Tell him again how much you love him and tell him he loves you.
He slammed his fist down on the desk and looked down the hall. ‘The last time I took your advice, I looked at what happened. If I had kept my mouth shut, we would still be together. I wish I hadn’t hidden the ring and said I love you. He started tangling her, stroking her hair with his fingers. – Leave before I fire you.
“Okay, I’ll go. You don’t have to worry too much about Ciara.
“What does it mean?”
“I got a call from Tanya today. Ciara has a job in Paris.”
He sat down and all kinds of emotions ran through his head. “Paris, when does he leave?”
“He’s leaving next week. Tell him not to go, it’s not too late to stop him.
‘He doesn’t love me and you can’t make someone love you. It is good that we both go,” he said.
“I think he loves you, but he doesn’t dare to admit that he loves you because he hurt you for a long time.”
“Who hurt him and what happened?”
– You should ask him.
– I’m asking you.
Lobby sat down. ‘Tanya told me three years ago that Ciara met an older man. After a passionate love, she found out that he fell in love with a man and then got married. When she confronted him, he slapped her and said thank you for being there for her. Then he wouldn’t be hurt when he swore he’d never kiss again. But Tristan, I know she loves you and you won’t hurt her.
“I have to listen to what he says. He never does.”
– I’d better go. I will see Tanya tonight. See you tomorrow.’
The night Ciara was to fly to Paris, Ciara and Tanya were drinking with Robbie in the lobby. His flight was before dawn and it would be the last time they would see each other for a while.
He turns to Robbie. “Keep an eye on Tristan and make sure he’s okay.”
“He’s in really bad shape.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“How?” he asked with a broken heart.
“He works 24 hours a day, he doesn’t sleep, he barely eats. Tristan is having a heart attack and I am very worried about him. When I see the dark circles under my eyes and the pale appearance, I think I’m having a heart attack. Ciara, if you love him, don’t let what happened to you in the past stop you from loving him again.
He turned and looked at Tanya. “Did you tell Robbie?”
– Yes, don’t be upset.
He got up and walked over to Ciara. “You’re going tomorrow, do you really want that or do you want to go with Tristan?” Then you need to get down and go see him, some of you need to stop being so stubborn.
She gets up, goes to the window and looks out. Thinking about Tristan breaks my heart. His heart told him to go, but his head shook. If I get on the plane I can’t go back, if I make a mistake leaving, should I open my heart and go to her? – Stupid cow. As Tanya screamed from her seat, Ciara suddenly turned to her.
“What the?”
