Leap OF Fate

Chapter 16

He stopped leaning on his table and walked towards her. He reached out to her, but she stepped back.

“Don’t you dare come near me or touch me”. She no longer cared about the designation of the person

in front of her as she angrily shouted at him.

“Serene! And don’t waste your breath. I don’t need to hear your excuse or your lame explanation.

Nothing can change the fact that you chose to lie to me.” She took one deep breath and continued,

“Bryan, you knew how much you mattered to me. But you threw that all away the moment you decided

to lie to me. Did you think I will never find out? Did you think you can continue doing what you did with

him and still keep me on the side?” She looked at him from head to toe. Her eyes were a rainbow of

emotions.

He felt her pain. The more he looked at her, the more he felt pained too. Of course he knew he hurt her.

It was inevitable, but he regretted it and there was nothing he wanted more than to let her know how

sorry he was for causing her pain.

“I thought I mattered to you, but then you decided that letting something as big as changing your

preference is something that you should hide from me. Did you think I would loathe you? Or judge

you?”. She could no longer hide the bitterness in her voice. She looked at him with all the anger and

hatred she felt for him in the past couple of years.

“You think it was that easy for me?” He interrupted her thoughts. Like her, he honestly showed her his

emotions. “I felt guilty every day. It was difficult for me too. I did not understand myself, what I was

feeling, what I wanted that time.”

He ran his fingers through his hair and looked at her with a pained expression. “It wasn't easy for me

either. The last thing I want to do in my life was to cause your pain. But I was going through a phase in

my life that I did not know if you would understand. I did not want to lose either of you.” He looked at

her straight in the eyes. “I knew I was being selfish.” There was a tinge of desperation in his voice. He

also looked somewhat defeated and pitiful.

“You know what's the most painful part? It was not actually the lie, nor that you two-timed me. It was

the thought that you just threw away all that we have been through, just like that. It's as if you did not

trust me and my love for you enough. You took me like dirt!” She was fuming, her face red as beet. She

no longer knew if the liquid on her face were tears or mucus. “Had you told me I was no longer enough

and that I no longer make you happy, I would have understood. I would have let you go peacefully and

let you seek your happiness. But no, Bryan. You decided that cheating on me was the better option.”

"I was trying to find the right time to come out to you!" He raised his voice as well, raking his hands

through his hair.

“Six months! Six fucking months, Bryan! You deliberately made me a fool in those six months. You had

those six months to come to me and tell me you want out. You could have broken it off cleanly with me,

but you did not! You cheated on me, you made a fool out of me.” Her voice filled the entire room.

Her tears blinded her, but she did not care. For the past two years, she has bottled everything in her.

Suppressed all the anger and the pain she had, and now, at this moment, she cannot help but erupt.

“So please, don’t tell me you’re sorry. We both know that you’re not. You decided to hurt me the

moment you cheated on me. For that, I can never forgive you.”

She looked at him with unconcealed anger, no longer caring about what he’d say. She pivoted around

and stormed out of his office. She hurriedly walked. Her eyes fixed to the ground. Tears rolled down her

eyes. She almost bumped into somebody, but she did not bother to look at the person. She just wanted

to get out of this place.
