A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 20

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask, panicking. I rush to the door, my hand over my mouth as I lock the door. He is sitting on the couch, his legs crossed.

"Aren't you happy to see me, Natty?" He asks, while I stand there, horrified, trembling at the thought of Luke walking in on us. He gets up and gets dangerously close to me. I stand still, my hands behind me, on the wall. He holds my waist and my body is resting on his. I close my eyes, "Please, I beg you. Leave me alone." I push him and move to my bed. He comes close again and cups my face in his hands, "You can't tell me you didn't miss me, didn't think of me. . ." He continues, "I apologize for coming so late my love, but I'm here now. Let's leave now." He raises my chin up and we share an eye lock. My eyes are watery. He leans in for a kiss and I do not resist— instead, I kiss back.

Somehow, Rocky and I find ourselves kneeling on the floor. I was crying, my hands cupping his face and his hands on my waist.

"I waited so long for you, Rocky. I cried, bitterly. I tried to reach you so many times but to no avail."

"Natty, I admit that I was angry at first when I heard, but that was only because of my jealousy and ego, but once I realized how foolish I was being, I knew I had to come find you."

"But It's too late now, Rocky. Everything is over." My heart broke into a thousand pieces telling him that, because I knew I was hurting him.

"Why? You can always get a divorce from him—we'll go and tell him right now." He says, taking my hand.

I jerk my hand off. "No." I respond firmly. I continue, "For God's sake, please, Luke can harm you Rocky. My husband is capable of anything." I warn him.

"Do you love him?"

I look at him in the eyes as he asks and in a split second, I look away as I'm unable to tell him the truth. "Luke is my husband and I've come to terms with it." He grabs my hand. "We've slept together!"

Immediately, he gets up at my statement and the room goes quiet. He has his right hand over his face as he paces the room.

"Did he force you?" He asks and I get up too. "No. He didn't do that."
