Chapter 43: What’s going on?
Within the next second, she fell onto the ground dramatically while Blake hurried to help her up but she only pushed him away with a defeated look plastered across her face.
"Don’t touch me!" She yelled through gritted teeth, emotions running wild in her eyes. "You lied to me the entire time! You told me that she was faking it, that the baby wasn’t yours! How are you going to explain yourself?!" She questioned, her hoarse voice trembling with a mixture of sadness and anger.
Blake immediately crouched down and tried to grab onto her hands, forcing her to look into his eyes.
"Stella... Stella!" Her name left his lips in a harsh tone as he tightly wrapped his fingers around her wrists. "Look at me!" He demanded and she flinched slightly at his tone and unexpectedly loud voice.
He drew in a deep breath and his features softened ever so slightly as they locked gazes.
"I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get upset and overthink it," he explained, the classic gaslighting he always does so effortlessly while I watched with amusement dancing in my eyes the entire time. I was no longer the girl who would be falling for his meaningless and empty words any longer. "I’m doing this for your own good, you know that right? I don’t want to hurt you," he muttered in a soft and gentle voice as he held her hands.
Stella lowered her head, and nodded lightly. "Yeah..." She muttered under her breath and the corners of her lips slowly curved upwards into a small smile. "I know, I don’t blame you, Blake. You did what you needed to do."
Of course, she would fall for his sweet empty promises and words that meant nothing at all. I couldn’t help but to let out a laugh this time, breaking the bubble that formed around them.
Blake turned around to glare at me, his eyes were narrowed into thin slits. "What’s so funny?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. I just find it funny how you told me she meant nothing to you and that she was just a friend, yet right now you are over here saying that you don’t want to hurt her and all that crap, acting like you guys are some couple. Quite hilarious if you ask me," I said pointedly.
His eyes widened upon realisation and a look of fear and horror was evident on his face.
