CHAPTER 12 - she meets Bailer
The grey LEXUS screeched as it came to a halt. Abbie Bain stepped out of the car slowly as she placed her red heel on the floor . All eyes on her as she slammed the door shut behind her, she was simply stunning in her red evening dress; simple but elegant on her. But right now appearance didn't matter to her at all. Her mind was filled with Danny and his betrayal. Her fingers clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palm .Her eyes slightly twitched at the pain .She felt alive once again .Her eyes once again filled with anticipation and hope as she neared the entrance of the grand hotel before her.
At last
She ran her hands through the hem of the gown
I need to look proper before him
She took a deep breath in and breathed out as she prepared herself before pushing the glass door in front of her . She suffered a week; a week in pain smiling, while her heart bled because of his betrayal .It was hard; painfully hard . Boundaries between today and tomorrow became a blur to her. It would be right to say she was just a living doll She knew she wouldn't get over his betrayal in just days she knew this pain would last a while,maybe forever .She couldn't forgive him even if she wanted to and she didn't want to. But today, she was going to make her move ;today she was going to make him regret ever hurting her, make him go through the same hell. But she wasn't sure whether it was possible as it all came to one man's answer
Would he agree?
This taunted her. She spent sleepless nights making up plans to get back at Danny, to hurt him but it would all be a waste if this man did not agree with her . His answer was precious, too valuable. She didn't know what kind of person he is ,what he would want in return. At this point she didn't care even if she had to sell her soul to the devil. Her emotions a turmoil, she suppressed them for a week but...she still pretended she was fine
I have to make him agree, make him side with me
Determined she stepped inside. She was greeted by a charming receptionist who was full of smiles
"mam do you have a reservation?"she asked her tone polite and gentle
"Yes . Under the name Mr Bailer"
"Understood mam".
The charming lady looked through the reservations , her eyes focused on the tab in her hands and looked up to meet Abbie's eyes
"Room no 201 mam"
Abbie slightly nodded her head and cast a smile a polite one
Abbie walked through the hallway . All the while hoping Mr Bailer agrees with her . She stood before the wooden door.
It is time
She wanted revenge but it was also her desperate attempt to move on. She wanted to hold on to this revenge in order for her to forget; forget whatever she saw that day .It wasn't easy smiling at him like she used to ,it was disgusting even his slightest touch. It was unbearable all the while when she was under the same roof as him. She still continued continued to act like a perfect girlfriend just like how she treated him in the past always smiling, always putting him first.
What am I to him?.Did he even love me.
This bothered her. She wanted to know the answer before putting an end to it.
What was that six months to him?.
She wanted to ask but those words they never came out. She knocked on the door
"Come in" . The voice was husky and charming
She turned the knob and slightly pushed the door open.The door opened revealing a man ,with a magazine in one hand and his chin resting in the other ,his legs crossed. She was stunned for a moment. The man looked simply handsome . He wore a suit and a tie that got along with it, a normal attire for a businessman like him but he was blinding to her eyes.
"Mr Bailer ?"
She smiled warmly as she greeted him .
He combed his hair back as he looked up from the magazine in his hands . His deep blue eyes locked eyes with her .He smiled at her but his eyes weren't . He looked arrogant but she strangely felt it suited him . She was captivated. She shook her head in an attempt to shake away her thoughts and looked straight into his eyes
"Miss Bain ?"
"Yes".
He slowly uncrossed his legs as he stood up from the chair and put down the magazine approaching her; stretching out his hand to her . His full red lips smirking as he held his hand out . She felt chills run through her spine as she grabbed the hand . His scent wafted to her nose . It was calming and comforting .But his aura was dominating and his eyes weren't smiling they were cold
