Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"More?" I asked him and he shake his head. I look at him and nod. The surprised look on his face is priceless. He extends his arm and poked my cheeks trying to verify it it’s really me. Cute

"Love?" he asked still not believing it is really me

"Hmmm?" I asked and he pulled my face for a kiss.

"Hey, careful. You might hurt yourself!" I warned him but he is not listening. He keeps kissing me and whispering I love you. He is making it hard for me to let him go.

"I thought I really hit my head hard that I am having hallucinations and concussions" he mumbled

"Wait" I stopped him and put a distance between us. "I will just call a nurse to check on you" I call a nurse and they quickly check his vitals and everything. He is just looking at me.

"I am hungry" he said

"You can eat sir wait I'll prepare you something" the nurse said and was about to go and prepare him something when I tell her that I will do it. I prepare some soup while the nurse is asking him some questions. When he is finally checked the nurse get out.

I put his soup in a bowl and walk to him. I sit in the chair and stir his soup. I scoop some and I blow it for him. He is silent and just watching me. When I made sure that the soup is not hot anymore, I put it into his mouth. I feed him and he is so hungry that he finished it all.

"Here drink some water." I helped him again.

"Thank you" he mouthed. I just nod and went to the sink to wash the utensils. When I am done, I close myself in the comfort room.

I stand here not knowing what to do next. I need to face him and end this.

"You can do it Heaven" I cheered myself and fixed myself. I go out and sit beside him again.

I am avoiding his gaze and he grabbed my hand and intertwined it with his.

"I miss you Love. I love you" he kissed my hand. I look at him. My heart is pounding and I am trying to hold back my tears as our eyes met.

"What are you trying to do? Deus driving while drunk? Seriously?" I scolded him and he pouted. No please don't that. He really knows how to make me soft but I maintain my angry expression.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see you so bad. Are you worried?" he asked and that makes me angry.

"Worried? I am petrified! Don't do stupid things again for me. You are old enough to know what is right and wrong. Stop being stupid. Your mom is terrified too. You almost kill us." I shouted at him and he is so shocked that I am actually shouting at him.

"Sorry." he apologized and kiss my hand again. I gathered all my strength and take my hands away from him. He looks so sad with my action. He pleadingly looks at me.

"I'm here to say goodbye" I huffed and his eyes widened. He remained stiff for a while and when it finally sinks in to him, he pulled me close to him.

"Stop moving Deus!" I warned him. He is being careless again.

"No. You will stay with me. No please" I am trying to remove his hands around me but he is so strong. "I am sorry. Promise I don't remember touching Helena. I try to date her I admit. She was with me when I am so devasted and all and I thought of giving her a chance but it lasted only for a week. I can't just forget about you. I broke up with her and I can't remember sleeping with her. She said it happened when I was so drunk. No, I will still prove that the kid is not mine." he said sounding so afraid to let me go.

"No please. I can't live without you. Love please" he is begging. My tears escaped but I wipe them swiftly. I removed his hand and keep my distance. He wants to take a hold of me again but he can't move further because of his feet. He is reaching his hands just to touch me and it really breaks my heart.

"Ellie, Come here. Love please? Love..." I saw the tears that run down his cheeks and it doubled all the pain that I am feeling.

"You already had a paternity test and it turns out positive right? Deus I just can't be with you. You have a child. She needs a father. She needs you. She needs a family. Only you can give her that. I want you to at least try things with Helena for Zaylee." I said smiling at him. Maybe if he sees me smiling it will lessen his guilt and feel a bit better.

"Fuck, Heaven. I don't love her. It's you that I love. I don't want her. We can win Zaylee's custody and if it's okay with you. You can be her mom. You don't need to leave me. Come here" he is crying and still reaching out for me. I know he is desperate but I am so disappointed with what is coming out from his mouth. He really is not thinking straight.

"Can you hear yourself Deus? Fuck you too but you need to stop being selfish. She is your daughter and you want her to suffer by getting her away from her mom for your nonsense shits? She needs a family and I am not her mom for pete's sake. You impregnated right? Then go and get your balls together and try to be a father. It's your responsibility after all." I am shocked with my bold words too but if it is the only way too wake him up, I will repeat it again and again.

He leaned in his bed and use his arms to cover his eyes. He is crying and that is tearing me apart.
