57.2- Emotional Confession

'You are going to divorce Sebastian." He ordered seriously and, unable to take his nonsense anymore, I slapped him hard for daring to make decisions about my life. 'I would never leave Sebastian. He needs me, why don't you get it?" I snarled, pushing him away, refusing to weaken before him. 'Why do you want to stay in the first place?" He snarled back, touching his cheek, fuming with fury at my daring action. 'Because I love him, dammit!" Shutting my eyes, I confessed the true reason I hadn't left him. 'If I am still in this marriage, if I stay, I am here, all because I love him and not just now, I had loved him from the very start." A few tears rolled down my cheek, I moved back, pushing my hair back, taking deep breaths to control my posture. 'Then why did you want to leave him back then?" He asked again. 'Because I was afraid that I might not end up hating him. I didn't want to hate him but the way he reacted, I was afraid I would." I whispered, covering my mouth and sitting on the chair, hiding my face in my hands, swallowing the lump in my throat to not sob. Inhaling sharply, I removed my hands and pulled my hair out of dismay, losing my mind to fathom how dared they thought I would leave him without consulting me first. 'Meaning you would never leave him?" Asad asked sternly again. Slamming my hand down, I stood up again, glaring at him, resenting him as I growled, 'Never." 'Got it." Ruben said from behind, making Asad gasp loudly and move back as he took a seat, glaring at me while he sighed. 'Damn, I got slapped because of your stupid confession." He scoffed, pushing his hair back, exhaling in frustration. 'What?" I blinked, unable to understand what was going on. They called me here by fake news and now this? 'And this is going to Sebastian to knock some sense into him." Ruben smirked, seemingly he was recording. What the hell were they doing? 'What do you mean?" I asked, voice stuck in my throat, impotent to cope with what was happening. 'Before taking action, learn how to read the papers first, woman. They were fake." Asad hissed at me, still angry at me for the slap. 'You man was not going to listen no matter what so we thought about showing your sincerity to him to make him realize." Asad explained rudely, pouring himself some water and drinking it. 'Sorry for the drama, Eileen since you didn't know how to act so we had to make the scene real." Ruben said sweetly, getting up and coming to me, showing me they recorded my confession and moreover sent it to Sebastian. 'What were you going to do?" I asked hesitantly, unsure about their idea or Sebastian's reaction. 'I am sending him this video of you slapping him and confessing your love for him." Ruben smiled. 'And what difference would it make?" I asked, my lips were shaking, my mind was in a state of blur, after our call, I doubt my confession could make any difference. 'When Sebastian would see you confessing your love and hitting Asad, he would understand that if Asad cannot pull you guys apart, nothing can. He would even realize he loves you too after it." Ruben explained what he intended to do. My eyes widened, my heartbeat raced uncontrollably, 'You… think he would?" I asked vaguely, taking deep breaths to control myself but failed. 'You think he wouldn't?" He asked, a smile fading, arching a brow in confusion. 'I… don't know." I looked down, unable to bear it anymore. Sorrow overwhelmed me and I couldn't take the anguish in my heart anymore. Breaking into a sob, I fell back to the chair, tears falling uncontrollably out of my eyes, staggering both friends at my breakage by the weighing of emotions. 'W-What happened? I-I am sorry, I am just doing this to help." Asad said immediately, giving me some water to help me calm me down. 'I want him. I want him badly." I confessed, crying, I couldn't stop my tears. I wanted to hear this from Sebastian that he was mine but he never told me. I wanted us to be a couple. 'He is yours, Eileen. You are his light, his hope. He is all yours." Asad whispered, coming before me as he bent before me, declaring seriously. 'I just want him to say he loves me too. He never did…" I whispered, sniffling, looking back at Asad who had compassion for me. 'He didn't?" Ruben asked, taken aback. 'Never. Not even when he was acting. I wanted to hear these three words so badly from him." I cried, wiping my tears but they blurred my sight again, stealing my ability to perceive and intoxicating my perception with his thoughts. 'He will say this, believe me, he will. I will help you." Asad breathed out, the determination in his voice was assuring but I doubt it. 'You truly would?" I asked innocently, forcing my cries to stop, wiping my tears. 'Yes." He smiled, offering me some tissues to wipe my tears and nose. I took it hesitantly, not looking into his eyes from embarrassment. 'I am sorry for slapping you." I mumbled, regaining my composure slowly, not meeting his eyes. 'It's okay. Gotta make things natural and real since you are a terrible actor." He chuckled, getting up again, comforting me but after seeing this resolve of his, I couldn't understand one thing. 'Asad…" 'Hmm?" 'Why does Sebastian keep saying you would take me away when you are clearly not going to?" I asked the question which kept bothering me. For a second I thought Sebastian was right but was helping me. 'I am afraid I cannot answer it, you have to ask him yourself for its answer." Asad smiled faintly, moving back and taking a seat as well. 'Did he see the video?" I asked Ruben, not wanting to extend this talk. 'He is not active anywhere. Did he switch off his phone?" Ruben asked, bewildered. 'I haven't talked to him for days too. He cut the call in the middle and had no contact since then." I told him sadly, the thing which was pinching me the most. 'I see. Maybe he lost his phone or was not using it," Ruben shrugged calmly, not thinking much about it but I was worried. 'I don't know…" I mumbled. 'It's okay. Don't worry." They reassured me but I noticed the time, it was getting late and I knew Sam, my bodyguard won't think twice before telling Sebastian I came here. 'I should leave, if they told Sebastian I came here he would be infuriated." I said quickly, getting up to leave. 'Should I drop you off?" Ruben offered but I shook my head in denial. 'No, It's okay. I just wanted to go to our home and wait for Sebastian to return. Who knows he might be back but wasn't telling me?" I chuckled dryly, shaking my head in disappointment, hating the moments where he shut me down completely. 'If you say so…" He hummed as I bid them goodbye and left for home, praying deeply for Sebastian to see that video and realize my love for him and give us a new start.
