Chapter 140: Humiliating
Arianna’s facial expression changed. How can Richard behave this way to Genesis? He thinks she pushed Tessa down the stairs?
Even if she does, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t show concern for the woman he called his girlfriend? This is too much.
Genesis reached out her hand and took Arianna’s “I feel I am losing Richard to another woman. The feeling plunged me down to despair. I feel lost, Arianna” she stuttered.
Arianna couldn’t say anything. She held Genesis’ hand and gave it a reassuring massage. Everything is going to be alright.
When they drove into the hospital premises, Richard was out, helping Tessa towards his car. He sighted Arianna’s car and let Tessa stay in the car while he walked towards them.
Arianna stepped out of the car and Genesis did. Richard glanced at Genesis temple and seemed to examine it from a distance.
“How do you feel now, Genesis?” Richard asked, a part of him condemning his nonchalant attitude towards his girlfriend.
“Did you stay all night with Tessa?” Arianna asked, walking closer to him and glaring at him. It appeared he was still wearing the clothes from the previous day.
“Yes. I couldn’t leave her alone in the hospital. Someone needs to stay with her” Richard gave a reason.
“And that person has to be you? Of all people in the world, it has to be you that would stay by her bedside as the patient relative, right?
Did you carry her in your arms all night? Or were you so engrossed in a kissing act with her that you completely forgot to call your girlfriend and asked her how she’s faring?” Arianna bellowed.
Richard sighed. Arianna was weeping more than the bereaved. Why is she making a mountain out of the mole hill?
“Leave that to Genesis and I to sort ourselves out. Don’t get it twisted” Richard cautioned.
“I shouldn’t get it twisted when you wouldn’t even spare her a glance, from the hotel to this moment, you are only concerned about that woman. What about Genesis?” Arianna snapped at him.
“Arianna, let him go. Let’s go inside” Genesis said and wanted to hold Arianna’s hand. She glared at Richard and it seemed he was not the man she used to know.
“I don’t really care what you think right now. When Tessa is alright, Genesis and I will talk about our differences” Richard declared and glanced at Genesis.
“You and I have nothing else to talk about. Do we still need to talk when the handwriting is so glaring that you are still in love with her? She’s the one you love not me” Genesis lost her temper.
“Yes, I still love her. I can’t deny the truth of what is in my heart. I still love her very much. I broke up with her because she cheated, not because my love for her Faded.
Maybe you should know this truth once and for all. I can’t keep lying to you that it’s you I love and still lie to myself. I chose to be with you, and I meant to stand by my words.
I am not breaking up with you. But if you think you can’t take it, you can leave. I won’t come begging” Richard snapped at her.
Genesis was dazed. So that’s how it is, he really was still in love with her? She was just a substitute girlfriend. She was to keep him warm until the one he loves returns to his side.
“So it means I am a substitute girlfriend? Why didn’t you tell me from the beginning that you are in love with someone else? Why did you start a relationship with me when you know you can’t erase her from your mind!” Genesis seethed.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
At this point, Arianna knew this matter was getting complicated. She needs to intervene and ensure both parties sit down and sort themselves out.
“Maybe if I had waited a little longer, things might really get back to normal between us and I would be able to forgive her. But you forced yourself on me. You forced a kiss on me and we began from there…” Richard blurted.
“Richard!” Genesis blurted.
The entire day, Genesis was mad with herself. She can’t stop sobbing quietly. She really was stupid to force herself on him.
Richard was sad. He took Tessa home and when he returned home, his mom asked him how Tessa was doing.
“She’s alright now. I just dropped her off at home” Richard gave an update. He looked tired and worn out.
“Jace told me that Genesis suffered a severe injury on her head. How is she doing as well?” Adrian Delmark asked.
Richard’s heart flooded with guilt. Jace even knew and updated his parents. But he couldn’t say exactly what was wrong with her until he saw her that morning.
“She’s getting better too,” Richard replied. His parents should do him a huge favour and stop talking about the incident of the previous evening.
“You should be able to tame your women. Last that I remember, you are with Genesis. What is Tessa doing around you? Didn’t you say you both are not together?” Jane questioned.
“Yes. Tessa is my ex but that doesn’t mean if Genesis pushed her down the stairs I should fold my arms and watch” Richard defended.
“Draw the line this minute. Let everyone know their boundaries. Your girlfriend by your side and your ex far away. I won’t tolerate two women hovering over you like bees” Jane declared.
