A Girl Nobody Wanted
Chapter 120

Jake's POV

I couldn't even believe the way she talked. I was so sure that she will change her mind after hearing what my dad has to say. But she was not ready to even listen to me. My dad promised to protect me from Andrew, it is not a promise from a regular citizen, it is a promise from the president of this country. So why couldn't she just accept it? Does she really think I cheated on her? No, it can't be... She knows about me more than that. Then why she acts like this?

I have never been this helpless in my entire life... My princess is getting engaged to someone else, and I am just lying on a hospital bed without being able to do anything. How am I going to bear seen her with anyone else? How am I going to spend my life without her?

No, Jake... You are not going to give up like this. You started this relationship, knowing you have a thousand and one problems. You knew it won't be an easy ride. So, now you have to face it.

My love is not that week to accept the loss and move one. I have never ever cheated on her even in a dream, she is also the same... So, I believe in ourselves, my princess... I will keep on fighting... After all, as my mom said, who cares about an engagement?

Sarah's POV

*******

So I got engaged again... This time in front of a lot of people and to someone I hate with my life.

I actually don't remember many details about the function. I was like in a dream, or to be more accurate, I was like in a nightmare...

As far as I remember, the hall was nicely decorated, and everything was arranged perfectly for the function. There were a lot of guests too... I didn't even know my parents knew this many people... All most all of these guests were from our side from Andrew's side, there were only a few friends of him. His dad didn't attend to the function, Andrew said he has gone abroad for some emergency business work when my dad asked about it. Maybe he hasn't even informed his dad about this because he doesn't respect or care about his father. Well... I don't give a s**t about that. I want to get what I need from Andrew and then leave him forever...

Andrew and I exchanged rings. Well... He bought both the rings and I just put it on his finger. God! I wish I could cut my finger off than wearing this ring.

After we exchanged rings, everyone started to shout, "Kiss!!! Kiss!!!"... What's wrong with these people? Why do they want to see other people kissing?

Andrew looked at me with a big smile on his face... You won't be able to smile like this for a long period. Since I have to stick to my plan, I let him kiss me... The moment he touched my lips, though it was for a half a second, I felt really disgusting, and my heart started to ache for my Jake... How worry he must be right now? Lying on a hospital bed, he must be feeling helpless and miserable... My poor Jake... Please forgive me, my love, for making you sad even it is to protect you from his monster.

Then we had to do the first dance of the evening... Anther headache!!!

I remembered how I danced on this same dancing floor on Luke's birthday... How Jake got pissed off because I danced with other guys. That day, I couldn't even understand why he got so angry at me.

How much everything has changed since then? That day, I thought Luke is the one who is in love with me, but he turned out to be my best friend and also gay. I thought Jake is totally out of reach, and he is so cold, but now he has become my life and there is no one in this world I love more... On the other hand, Shane... Didn't he even threaten me, and I got beaten because of him? But today, he has become my loving brother who worries and cares about me so much...

However, when everything changed, one thing remained the same...

I again got a cramp!!! Me and this fu**ing high heels.

It happened when I was dancing with Andrew... God! It started to hurt like hell, and I screamed involuntarily.

Andrew took my hand and took me to a chair and made me sit. Then he kneeled down in front of me and removed my shoe carefully. Then he started to massage my leg gently. His action resembled what Jake did on Luke's birthday. I couldn't stop tears filling in my eyes... Why God? Why are you so cruel to us? Why you make Jake and me suffering like this?

"That's okay..." I stopped Andrew from massaging my leg because I couldn't hold it anymore... The more he touched me, the more I felt disgusting about my self...

He raised his head and looked at me with a puzzled look.

I think he saw the tears in my eyes... He released a long sigh...

"Sarah..." he said gently.

Without getting up or removing his hand from my leg, he began to speak.

"I know even though you agreed to marry me, you still don't love me... I know you can't get rid of your affection towards Jake... But Sarah... He has everything in this world. Loving parents, good friends, wealth, power everything... But what do I have? Other than the wealth I inherited, thanks to my mom, I have nothing. I have lost the two people who loved and cared about me. Though my dad still there, he doesn't care about me at all... I am so alone this world, Sarah, and you are the only happiness I have." "You can take any long you want to start loving me because we have our whole life ahead of us. I am sure eventually you will understand me and fell in love with me. However, until that, please let me love you and take care of you." he said... Indeed I know he is a monster, and he ruins everything for Jake and me... But at that moment, I sympathize with him... He also has a cruel destiny... He has gone through so much in his life... But that is not an excuse to destroy our happiness... Anyway, I just wish you to realize your mistakes and make all of these right, Andrew...

Jake's POV

**********

The next day morning, Marina came to visit me.

I was glad that so many wires and tubes were connected to me, else I would choke that bit**

"How dare you come to her after you lie to Sarah like that?" I yelled at her.

"I haven't lied to her, Jake," she said calmly.

"Really... So are you telling me that I really had s*x with you?" I asked angrily... I don't know how she is this confident to pretend like she has done nothing wrong.

"Of course, Jake... You did..." she said, making me astonished. Has she gone crazy?

"Look at this before you say anything..." she searched something on her phone and gave it to me.

It was a photo... A photo of her and me...

We both were half-naked... I had removed my shirt, and she was on her bra and a short skirt... We were in that visitor's room of her house. She was sitting on my lap and taking this selfie... God! When did we take a photo like this? I can't remember a thing. "Don't say you can't remember anything about that night, Jake... We both enjoyed a lot. You even said it in a text the next morning." she said. "What text are you talking about?" I asked confusedly.

She took her phone from me and searched for something and then handed me back.

It was a chat between us... God! When did I send these messages to her... Have I lost memory or something? Why can't I remember any of these?

That chat seems legitimate... Other than the few texts about that night, all the other messages are real messages I sent her.

"I don't remember any of these..." I said, confusedly stroking my head...

"You got so drunk that night, Jake... Not just you, me also... Finally, we were out of control, and we did it...." she said.

What I really did that? How could that happen? I don't get drunk like that. I couldn't understand what has really happened.

"Marina... Look into my eyes..." I asked her... She did as I said... She started staring at my eyes without even blinking. "Is that really happened?" I asked.

"Yes, Jake... I don't know how you don't remember at least a single thing," she said sadly.

"Did we really had s*x?" I asked again... My heart was aching, and my head was throbbing... How could I so careless to do such a mistake... How could I lose my guards like that?

"You said Sarah's name a few times, maybe you thought I am Sarah... But yes, we really did it..."

"It seems you were conscious though you were drunk, so why didn't you try to stop me?" I asked angrily. If I said Sarah's name as well, then she should have just prevented me from doing such a horrible thing.

"How can I, Jake, when I was craving to have that with you..." she said gently.

"What? What the fu** did you just said?"

"Yes, Jake... It is true, I told you I don't need any serious relationships. I agreed to just pretend to be your girlfriend... But in the process, I couldn't help falling love with you... Don't blame me, Jake... Your charm is so hard to resist..." she replied... "What the fu**? Are you insane, Marina... I considered you as a friend and as a sister... How could you do this to me?"

"Please forgive me, Jake... I tried my best to hold my feelings towards you. But when you talk more and more about Sarah with me and when I observe how much you love and care about her, it made me realize I also need someone to take care of me like that. I didn't need anyone else, I wanted you... I wanted you to love and care about me in the same way you do for Sarah..."

"So when I get the chance, I didn't want to lose it... I thought I should at least have one night, one beautiful memory with you... When you texted me the next day and told you also enjoyed having s*x with me, you don't know how much it made me happy..." "I didn't send those texts, Marina and I don't remember any of these... Why didn't you ever talk about this with me?" I asked.

"You said we shouldn't repeat this ever again, so I thought it is better to not discuss it again..." she replied.

"If you didn't want to discuss it with me even, then why you told everything with Sarah?" I asked angrily. She has intentionally done it to break up us, right?

"I didn't want to do that, Jake... But she became so aggressive after seeing me in the hospital because I got the opportunity to see you, but she didn't get that opportunity. She started a lame fight with me, and I lost my control..." Marina said apologetically... I released a sigh... I have drifted a state that I couldn't think of anything, my mind was completely blank... I felt nothing... No emotions at all... I was just staring at the wall blankly...

"Jake!!! Jake!!!" Marina started to shout, shaking my hand...

Then only I came back to reality... Well... The reality was extremely painful, and the self-loathing I felt was unbearable.

I looked at Marina... She was looking at me worriedly...

She is not wrong, she had just told what actually happened... Indeed she should have stopped me doing it, but I can't blame her for that. I should have self-control... I should take responsibility for my actions.

I don't know how I don't remember any of those things. I don't know how I sent those texts the next morning and don't remember anything at all...

Anyway, Marina seems like she is telling the truth. Also, that photo... God! I want to bury myself after seeing that...

Everything felt so complicated and confused...

I didn't know what to believe more... My instincts or the clear evidence I have in front of me...

I think I have to believe what is clearly in front of me.

So, have I really done that? Have I really had s*x with another woman behind Sara's back... That is cheating... Even though I don't remember doing that...

My princess... My poor princess... How could I do such a thing to you? I know when I kissed Marina, how that made you feel, so if you know that I really had slept with another woman, how sad it will make you?

I didn't really know what should I do now?

I have never disgusted anyone than I am disgusting myself right now...

Anyway, I should meet Sarah and tell her the truth. I must apologize. Then she can make any decisions... At least then she can forget a disgusting person like me and have a better life with Andrew who loves her so much despite his other bad activities...
