Chapter 50 - The Person She Hurt The Most

Ch-49

Cedric saw Eleanor's crumbling state in front of him. Like a falling angel, she was losing her wings called hope. This woman was so easy to break. But it's equally hard to fix this woman. 

Five years of youth wasn't a small thing for a woman. And a best friend cheated on her. Most of her childhood was spent with her best friend. How could she ignore that? 

"Eleanor, sometimes few relationships end just because you ignored them. Do you know why it happens?" he said getting her back from her trance. 

Eleanor's curious gaze landed on him. She saw his worry and concern in his eyes. Can she really fall in love with this guy? This guy would give heart if she wants. But can she give her heart to him? 

Many things swirled in her mind. Her face has a twisted and confused expression. Making him think that she doesn't know the answer to his words. 

"Because in those relationships, there was only you. And you are the only connection between them. When you stop joining them… they would be broken. It's the same thing with you and Jessica. She knew… she is using your kindness and she knew what kind of person Jacob is. Once you get married to him, he won't let you help her or her family. This would be a loss. Instead of aiming for your kindness, she used Jacob. That was a pretty smart move from her. After all, a normal person wouldn't dare to do that. As they would be bound by the gratitude for you, and they would be blinded the friendship between you and her. But here Jessica acted her cunning nature. 

"This shows that she never acted like your friend. Maybe she is once a friend but it might have died down. We don't know what made her like that, who made her like that, but she was once your friend for a very small time. 

"There are people who come into our lives for a very small time and behave like they belong to us or we belong to them. But due to the situations or due to the persons around them… they might leave us. A good person would not leave us with a broken hearts but with memories. A bad person would leave us with heartbreak. And there is another case too where we leave the person heartbroken. In the other case… we have no pain no gain. Everything would be formal. 

"Third and fourth cases are the most painful cases. Instead of mulling over them… we have to get over them. This would make our lives easier and happier. 

"Jacob and Jessica are just phases in your life with different goals and aims. If Jacob hasn't fallen for Jessica… there might be a Jessica who might enter his life after your marriage with him. Who knows after you have a child… another woman may enter his life. You can't be a divorcee. Your child may become fatherless." He said to her. 

Every word that left his mouth broke his heart into million pieces. It took a lot of his courage to utter them. That was the worst-case scenario he imagined in the past days. His heart would bleed every time when he thought scenario. He used to think if she was in that situation… would she give him a chance at least at that time? 

But her broken self scared him. He used to wake up with nightmares of her being eaten by the monsters.  He only prayed to God that she would come to his side earlier. Even though she was by his side… her heart was not ready to accept him. That's fine too. He would make her know how true love would be. 

Eleanor felt ironic when she heard his words. Indeed, she never thought this far. Having children with him and that means… making love with Jacob… that thought itself disgusted her. She was glad that she didn't marry him. Because… what if her future children got his traits. 

And if Jessica comes into his life after she and Jacob got married… he would keep Jessica as his mistress and will torture Eleanor in front of her. And she was damn sure that he would starve the children who were born to her. 

The thought of married life with Jacob was enough to send shudders in her spine. Can she live with Jacob? Nope! Of course, she would end up giving divorce to him. And yeah she was sure that he would give her a pretty hard time. Sigh… She felt vexed at those thoughts. 

Lifting her head she met eyes with Cedric. Can she love him as he does? Eleanor knew he was a strong man… but it's just that everyone forgets that strong men come from weak men. 

Even strong men feel pain. But they just don't show it as they are habituated to the pain. Even they have their own breaking point. It's just that a common person's breaking point is farther than a strong person. 

The words he said rang in her head. In another case, we will hurt the other person. True… we will hurt another person. Indeed… she hurt him. She hurt him beyond repair. What she shall do to ease his pain? 

She looked at him with pain and worry. Eleanor was so sure that she wasn't worthy of his love. Even though she wasn't worthy of him and his love… at least she could take care of him, right? 

Yes! 

She will take care of him. 

Starting from today she will take care of him. He did many things to her. Even though he said that he ruined the party of their company anniversary for fun… she knew the effect of it. She once belonged to one of the top five companies in the country. How could she not know the effect? She knew he did that for her sake.. She would make him collect all the charges from them.
