A Girl Nobody Wanted

I was silent for a few minutes... My mind was filled with different thoughts. I was battling with my own thoughts to decide what is the answer I should give him.

After all, all the politicians are the same, aren't they? One of the main principles in his election campaign was equality. In almost all of his speeches, he talked about equal treatment to all the citizens. But when it comes to his private life, he doesn't give a s**t about equality. He is willing to break his son's relationship because I am not from a matching family tc them.

For the whole time, I was drowned in my own thoughts, he didn’t disturb me. Though I didn't look at his face directly, I could feel his gaze on my face.

I knew there is no point in waiting speechless in front of him. Though he has only one option, I have two.

I can either agree to what he said and leave my Jake, or I can ask him to fu** off and wait till my Jake recovered and make decision for us.

I know there is a risk in waiting for Jake to get recovered and solve this for us. Who knows what that A**hole Patterson would do next. He can secretly enter Jake's room and remove his ventilator as well. He is even capable of that, there is nc doubt.

But how can I so easily agree to what Mr. McMiller suggested? If he asked me to kill myself for my Jake, I will do that withc thinking twice, but marrying Patterson... it will be like killing myself each and every second. Any way I can even do that fo my Jake's safety, but when he gets recovered, how he will be able to endure this. He will definitely go mad.

Finally, I took the decision. My love for Jake knows no limits. We have dreamt of a beautiful life together. Both of our lives are bounded to that dream. Without that dream, we would be just lifeless, emotionless robots. So I am not going to give on that dream, not without a fight at least...

I raised my head and looked up at Jake's father.

“MrMcMiller, earlier, I thought you don't know anything about love. Now I realized you know nothing about your only son well" I said boldly. I believe the pureness of my love for Jake gave me the strength to talk up to him.

He looked at me with surprise, but this time he didn't chuckle.

“Even if I agree to marry Andrew, do you think Jake will accept that and stay without doing anything.” I asked.

“No, he won't, he replied, freeing a sigh.

“But I can make him accept that. I am his dad." he then added.

I chuckled... His lips twitched, and his eyelids fluttered. He seemed angry. But I don't feel afraid anymore because I have lost all my respect for him.

“You are his dad, and you knew him for his whole life. I knew him for a short period, but I think I have understood him wa more than you have understood him. When he gets to know, I agreed to marry that bastard to save his life, he will drag m forcefully to a registrar and marry me. If not, he will kill that bastard and go to jail happily. I said.

“Well... If you think he will act like that, then don't let him know you marry Andrew to save his life” he said casually. “What?” it slipped from my mouth without even thinking.

“You can pretend like you agreed to marry Andrew because your parents want that.”

“He knows well that I am not going to marry Andrew because my parents want me to.” I replied.

“Andrew will do something to make everyone believe that you agreed to marry him because your parents force you to do so. You don't have to worry about it.” he said confidently.

Really, Mr.McMiller? You and that bastard Patterson are so much alike. I thought I have the worst parents, but it seems liks my father is a thousand times better than him.

“It seems you and Andrew have planned everything. I highly doubt you knew about Andrew's plan to hurt Jake earlier, anc you just let it happen because you want to remove me from his life” I shouted at him. Yes... I shouted at the current president of the country. Well... I was furious at that moment, and if it was Donald Trump in front of me, I don’t think twic before yelling at him too...

“Ms. Anderson! How dare you tell, I willingly put my son's life in danger. If anyone knew that Jake's life is in danger and didn't do anything to protect him, it was you. Only you! ” he said firmly.

Then he stood up from where he sat and gave me another piercing look.

“I don't have time to waste. I have asked you to think about this problem with your mind, not with your heart. Now the decision is all yours. You can decide if you want to let my son's life in danger or you want to keep him safe. I have to tell you one more thing. Don't ever think of harming yourself, or running away from this problem. Because anything you do other than marrying Andrew will make him get that revenge on my son.” he said. Then he left, leaving me alone in that room...

As soon as he left the room, I couldn't control myself self, and I buried my head on the table in front of me and started sobbing.

I couldn't think of anything, my mind was total chaos. I don't know how long I have been crying like that. I was shocked ai raised my head when someone kept his or her hand on my shoulder. I didn't even hear anyone entering the room.

I was surprised to see Marina in front of me. But it felt like a relief from one side to have someone who can understand tf situation I am currently in.

She took a seat next to me... I hold her hand tightly and continued to sob.

“Marina... My Jake.” I said between tears.

“Don’t worry, Sarah... He will recover soon...” she said in a comforting voice.

“His father talked to me just now... 1 said, looking at her. I wanted to share this with someone. I don't think I can share th with either Luke or Shane. Letting them know would disturb the decision I am going to take.

“I know...” she replied indifferently.

“What you know?” I asked astonished.

“Yes, Actually, Uncle Victor sent me here...” she replied in the same tone.

“Is that mean you know what he said to me?” I asked doubtfully.

“Yes, I know everything. Uncle Victor can't discuss these things with Aunt, so he discussed these with grandpa, and me," s said.

“Then you know everything, Marina... You know Jake as well. Do you think jake can bare if I marry anyone else?” I asked. “He will definitely go mad if that happens,” she replied quickly.

“That's what I am also saying, but his dad doesn't understand this," I said.

“No... He understands that well, Sarah... But he knows we can help Jake overcome that madness if his life is safe. If you don't marry Andrew, then Jake's life is in utter danger, and none of us can save him. *

I stared at her. I couldn't even believe she said those words. I thought she has understood Jake pretty well...

“Also, Sarah... Don't think Jake won't be able to make up his mind after you marry Andrew. It will take time, but his mom, dad, and I are with him. *

The way she emphasized the word “I” made me shiver. What does that mean? Isn't she supposed to get back to her usual life after the election because that fake relationship thing is now over? Has she changed her mind? God! Please don't let her change her mind... I can't bare having her also against me at this time.

“I know we started everything just to help uncle Victor, but I think you can understand it is so hard not to fall for his charm,” she said, chuckling.

“We could spend a lot of quality time with each other. We got close to each other way more than we thought. To be hones we crossed all the limits of our relationship, and that made us bond to each other more and more...

“Stop lying, you b***hit” I stood up and yelled at her. I wanted to choke this b***h to the death, how dare she tries to lie about my Jake.

“I trust my Jake with my life. He never does anything that would make me sad. I don't know what are your feelings for him but he treats you just as a friend or a sister.” I screamed.

“I know it is hard to believe. But one night, when we both were exhausted after campaign work, we went to my apartment He just came to drop me, but then he stayed for a drink. However, with exhaustion and everything, we got pretty drunk, a we became totally out of control”

“Nollil You are lying... You are one pathetic b***hut” I screamed, covering my ears from both of my hands.

“Just check this and then decide...” she said, giving me her phone.

She had opened her phone messages, and it was her chat with Jake, which was on display.

“Check from here...” she said, pointing to a message sent from Jake.

Believe me, I had no doubt that my Jake never break my trust. But God knows why I looked at the message she saw me. jake: “I have no words to say how much I feel sorry for what happened last night. I never expected something like that. Yc kept your trust in me, and I broke that. I broke the trust Sarah kept on me as well... Now I feel like I can't face anyone of you”

Marina: “Don’t feel sorry about that. None of us planned it. It just happened. Don't think I regret that happened. I actually loved it. You know I had s*x with many, but yesterday was my favorite. *

Tears were running down from my eyes without any break... I wonder why my heart didn't explode into pieces with the unbearable pain it had... I continued reading.

Jake: “I loved it too. I think that's why I feel this guilty. I love Sarah... I cheated on her, don't 1?"

Really? You loved it, Jake? Did you love having s*x with another girl?

Marina: “Don’t worry about her. Anything she doesn’t know won't hurt her. However, I loved this happen, Jake”

Jake: “But this shouldn't repeat even once. Else we won't be able to stop it.”

I gave her the phone back. I didn't want to read further. So Jake had s*x with her, and both of them loved it. Jake didn't want to do it again, not because he hates it, but he was afraid he won't be able to stop doing it.

You may say, don't be a fool, Sarah, it can be a fake chat. 1 also like to think like that. But I checked it before I started reading. It was his number, and the chat seemed legitimate to me.

My destiny has such a cruel way to play with me, hasn't it?

I was worried because Jake was fighting with his life, then his father came and asked me to marry that as*hole to save jake's life. Now, this girl came and said that Jake has cheated on me.

“I know this is not easy for you. But I promise you it never happened again. However, it created a bond between us. So don't worry, I can look after him after you marry Andrew.”

Without saying anything or without listening to anything, 1 left the room. I just wish I could leave my life the same way I le that room...

If you ask me if I believed what she said to me, the answer is yes and no. I don't believe my Jake would cheat me like that though my heart ached when I was reading those texts because they felt so real. Even if he did that with her when he was drunk or not in the right mind, I am sure he won't enjoy it afterward, right? However, I do believe that two of them have developed a special bond between them, maybe she is right. They can make him forget me and make his heart after all. Like a zombie, I walked to where I left Shane... He was there walking here and there nervously. Luke was also with him. “Where the fu**ing hell you went?" Shane yelled at me as soon as he saw me.

“Washroom.” I said casually.

“What the fu** you did in the washroom for this long. Did you even know how much you made us worried, Sarah?” this tir it was Luke who barked at me.

But I didn't feel anything at all... I was in a totally different state of mind. My mind was filled with worry, sadness, anger, jealousy, confusion, and all the other negative emotions you have ever gone through.

“shane, I want to go home,” I said, making both of them looked at me with wide eyes.

“Are you fu**ing crazy, Sarah? We came here today to stay until he gets okay. Why the fu** you want to go now?” Shane yelled at me.

“sarah... If you worrying about the expenses, don't worry. I will handle everything” Luke said.

“No, I am not worried about expenses. I just want to go home. Dad called me." I said.

“What? How many times did we call you, but you didn’t answer. Yet you took dad's call?" Shane asked angrily.

“Mom is not well.” I said in a voice I couldn't even believe is mine.

“What?” Shane got worried.

“She tried to suicide!” I said. I said what I was asked to tell. I was playing my part of the drama well.
