Noel

"We didn't have sex," I whisper yelled in frustration. This girl was driving me crazy. She was demanding answers and I was even giving them but she still wasn't fucking satisfied. What did she want me to do? Lie down and beg her because I was sure as hell not going to do that.

I had promised to Christa that I would beg her but Allison's goddamn behavior made it freaking impossible for me to even think that. She said she forgives me and now she was saying to stay the hell away from me.

"What did you just said?" She asked with shockingly.

"We didn't fuck or had sex," I repeated for her to hear and pushed open the door making her stumble back.

"Now, now that is a straight lie," She angrily spoke. "Something had happened that day and I'm sure of it because I remember going to your room and we were naked-" she said pacing.

"And then I don't remember shit," She cried out. "What the fuck happened, Noel?"

"I drugged you," I confessed.

"What the hell did you do?" She screamed at my face. Her anger was evident but shit I wasn't ready for it.

"I thought you were a traitor and they had sent you to frame me up for some bullshit assault. So I drugged you and let you think that we had sex but in reality, I left you on your own when you started to--,"

"Stop!" she yelled making my words come to a halt. She looked at me like I had killed her cat.

"Ahh, fuck," she yelled. "I can't believe a word you say right now,"

"I-" I tried to speak but her fuming eyes stopped me.

"Don't you dare speak a word? Do you have any fucking idea what the hell you did?

You drugged me, you asshole. How could you even do that?" each word was filled with anger.

"I'm sorry," I apologized.

"Fuck, if it would have been just sex I would have just let you off the hook but you bastard drugged me," she screamed in my face. Her calling me names was getting on my nerves.

"I know I did the wrong thing but it was all done under false pretense and the drug was safe. So no freaking harm was done that isn't forgivable and stop the fuck calling me names." I yelled out but it didn't really help in controlling the situation. Allison fumed in anger in front of me.

"Are you a fucking doctor? How the fuck do you think it wouldn't have reacted to me or I wouldn't have died. You think you are right in doing what you did. But fuck you, Noel. You did the wrong thing and that too with the wrong person. Get the fuck out of here or I'm calling the police," Fuck it! She really wasn't understanding a thing. Wasn't my sorry and apologizes enough for her to let this go? I wanted to reason with her but her throwing of police made me wanted to recede back. Doloris would freaking kill me if the police got involved. I knew for sure that she would have my head. However, I still needed to apologize to her or Christa won't let me off the hook. How the hell my life did become this complicated in few days?

"I'm sorry," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I know I have hurt you and it was so wrong of me to do-,"

"I don't want to hear anymore, Noel. Just get the fuck out," She raged out. "I'm done with you and your bullshit."

"Allison,"

"Get out Noel, I don't even want to hear a damn thing from you now on or even see your face right now!" She said pushing me out. I tried to have her hear me but she wasn't hearing a damn thing.

"Wait," she suddenly stopped. "What was the name of the drug you gave me?" she asked.

"It was- "

"Forget it, I don't want to know. Get out!" Was she fucking bi-polar?

"Allis-," she banged the door at my face before letting my complete her name. I thought of knocking again but I knew it was going to be waste of time. She was so stubborn and she really wasn't going to hear right now. I was tried with this shit. I had apologized and I couldn't do anything more else for now. The best thing for me was to leave right now because that girl has really got on my nerves. She was freaking nuts. I will tackle this some other time.

................................................................................................

"Fuck," I yelled in my closed office. My day from bad to had gone to worse. Allison had already put a dent in my mood in the morning but then coming into the office and Alex telling me that someone tried to hack our main system pulled me in the worst mood. I had to rack my mind for the rest of the day with Alex and the research and development to get who tried to hack the system and why.

Nothing came up and in the end, we hit a dead end. Alex had assured me that he would find who it was and what the purpose was from his sources and it only gave me a little surety. Nothing seemed to be at fault or missing from our database but still, until I came to know what they come for, my mind wasn't going to be at peace. I had worked harder and harder in turning my father's business into empire I can't have it falling down not at a time when it was thriving. If it would have been a hack in any of the subsidiaries I wouldn't have cared less but still, my worry would have been not shooting the sky.

Rubbing my head I tried to soothe the ache in my temples. I really needed a time out from all this and a stiff drink. Picking up the phone I called Karl and asked him to bring the Car around. As I reached down Karl greeted me and open the door for me.

"Karl, take it to the club," I ordered Karl as he got inside the car.

"Yes, sir,"

Club or mainly known as Chevy West was the exclusive club for the rich and affluent for to enjoy. You had to be sponsored by someone to the club or you couldn't become a member even if you threw money like water. Some people came there to relax, some for fun with recreational activities and others on a date. It had different sections. Every six floor had its own purpose. It was a bit on the outskirts of the city. A change of scenery would really help in taking the shit off my mind. It took half an hour to reach the elegant driveway crowded with fountains and flowers. My status allowed me to go without a security check and let me around as I liked. Being a third partner in the club had its own perks. Reaching the third floor used only for its bar and business talk, I asked for a shot of Macallan. Losing my tie I reached for the drink presented in front of me. I took the first sip and relaxed.

"Noel Dalanis?" Someone called and I turned to who it was. A smile lit up my face seeing who it was.

"Holy shit, it is you. Long time no see, friend," Nathan said settling beside me. He was the main owner of the club and the owner of a hotel chain spread all around the world known for their luxury.

"Hey, how have you been?"

"Forget about me man. Where have you been?" he asked and signaled for the bartender to get him the same as me.

"Busy killing my competition and turning my billions into trillions. How about you?"

"I'm pretty much overloaded with work. Sarah is pregnant again and the twins are brewing a storm in the house every day. She has given me an ultimatum to cut back my work hours or she is leaving the kids in the office for me to handle." I laughed at this. He was the playboy but the second one to tie the knot and settle down. The first one was me.

"Well, you should take Sarah to your office than your kids," I suggested. "She would surely stop complaining then."

"No man, I would be dead then. Sarah would the biggest distraction for me. I won't be able to do a shit of work. I would end up making love to her all day," he chuckled and took a sip of his drink.

"Damn that is a too hard man. How are you drinking this stuff?" He asked me. I drank my whole drink in one go and asked for another.

"I think Sarah might have softened you up and it's the best stuff one can get, Nathan," I teased him.

"Say that in front of Sarah and she will have you by your balls," he made a scary face making me laugh.

"Kids and marriage suits on you," I told him seeing him happy.

"Yeah, they do. I won't change a thing in my life." He paused. "Okay maybe a one or two," we both laughed out at this.

"Hey Nathan," someone called out his name from behind me. The voice of that person sounded similar.

"Hey, Jayce," Nathan greeted and like that my mood got ruined.

"Who do we have here?" he asked him.

"Noel, it's you," He said in his sickly sweet voice. The smile on my face got ruined by him. As I turned to I saw Richard with him. We ran in the same social circle.

"Hey," I gave a dry reply and turned back to my drink.

"It's good seeing you both together here. Hey Richard," Nathan made the small talk.

"Actually we are celebrating," there was joy in Richard's voice as he spoke.

"Celebrating what?" Nathan questioned.

"We are celebrating the biggest happiness my baby brother could get," Jayce replied. "At last, he is going to be a father. He will be soon having a family of his own. Isn't that great!" Jayce's word rang in my ears and my grip on the glass tightened.

"Congrats, man," Nathaniel uttered after a second or two. The atmosphere turned to awkward.

"Aren't you happy in my brother's happiness, Noel?" Jayce words were not excited ones but that of taunting.

"How can you be happy? I forgot, how silly of me," He added.

"I think you should stop, Jayce," Nathan intervened.

"Oh come on man, I need to apologize to him. Nothing more," Jayce came forward and stood beside where I was seated.

"I'm so sorry Noel," he was high I could tell that from his speech. "Sorry that my brother could give Cheryl something which you didn't. I bet if you had given her a child she wouldn't have dared leave you and come crying to my brother. Poor you," His words raged me. I didn't care and banged the glass in my hand on his head. It shattered on impact and he stumbled back.

"What the fuck?" Richard yelled. Jayce, on the other hand, laughed like a maniac.

"Can't handle the truth, Noel? My brother did what you couldn't do in your three years of marriage. My brother did it in the second year of their marriage. You failed and my brother won." He spoke and I couldn't control the rage that surged inside of me. Reaching for his collar I punched him in the gut one after another. He even spat blood but that didn't stop me. There were onlookers around but it didn't matter. Nathan tried to stop me but it didn't work at all. I was high on anger. Nathan pulled me back and I let him. Richard was helping him while he stood with his hands on his abdomen. That sick fuck was egging me on.

"Are you all right?" Nathan asked me and I nodded my head while taking in deep breaths and correcting my jacket over my shoulder. Not in the mood of Jayce's fucking game I decided to leave. I knew this bastard would use it against me and I didn't want my shit to drag my firm in negative publicity. I picked up my phone from the table and turned around. Jayce's laughter hit my ears.

"She trusted him more than you and let him impregnate her. She was always his. She never loved you," Fuck publicity. I turned around and went straight for his face. I didn't saw Jayce pushing Richard away and his fist coming way. We both punched each other at the same time. I didn't wait to recover I went for a punch after another. His words stung. They made my heart and soul bleed. All I could see was red. They questioned me and Cheryl's love. Nathan had to drag me away by my shoulders but I went on going back to hurt that shithead.

"I will-," I was stopped by Nathan slapping his hand on my mouth. He signaled me not to say anything. "Richard take your bother to the doctor in the gym. I would also like a talk with him later on,"

"What the fuck you mean by -," Richard tried to speak.

"We will talk later," Nathan interjected in a serious tone making him shut up and move.

"Just a little brawl among lost friends. Nothing to watch here," He said to all the onlookers. Friends like hell he could be that to me. I would rather die than be his friend.

"I need to leave," I told Nathan and picked up my phone on the floor.

"She loved you, Nathan. She really did love you once," he said to my retreating self-making my steps to come to a halt.

"It doesn't matter anymore, it never will," I said without turning around and moved forward. I ordered Karl to bring the car to the entrance quick. He was standing there waiting for me when I reached the entrance. I didn't wait for him to open my door and was rushing to the car and closing the door.

"Take me home," I told him and without any answer he took me there. Jayce's word made me feel like shit, they hurt. It felt like a slap to myself. She never loved you. Cheryl was pregnant. She would never leave him. Jayce's words roamed in my head. Involuntary tears welled up in my eyes. I looked out the window and remembered Cheryl not wanting kids because she wanted to wait. She had laughed at me when I talked about planning a family saying who would want kids in first five years of marriage. There was a lifetime for kids but first five years were meant for enjoying love and discovering each other. Where had that Cheryl gone? Maybe Jayce was really right. She never loved me. My soul and heart wanted to cry out for the betrayal we felt. It felt like a knife pierced through my soul and she was the one who did it.

"Are you all right Sir," he asked and I looked at him.

"Yes," I breathed out. Twenty minutes later I was back home. I didn't care for the car to come to a complete halt. As soon as the car slowed down I was out.

"I will see you tomorrow Karl," I said walking back in the building without looking at him. The doorman's greeting fell on my deaf ears. Curious eyes looked at me in the elevator. I didn't shed a tear, didn't utter a sound until I was in my house, in my bedroom. I looked at the shrine of Cheryl and mine's love. I started at her photo, some from our past and some of our present.

Did she never really love me?

Was my love nothing to her?

She was pregnant with Richard's child. In just two years of marriage, she was giving him what she denied to give me. What the fuck happened to her thinking now? She was a liar. She lied to me. She never freaking loved me. She was not worthy of me and my love. She wasn't who I have thought to be. Her love for me wasn't as strong as mine was that was the reason she didn't trust me. She never tried to know me. She was no one in my life.

My hand reached for the photos on the wall and torn them one by one. Every photo I had saved of her, every moment I had savored was destroyed. She never really loved me. It was only me loving her.

I screamed with tears running down my cheeks as I tore each of the happy moment with her. I screamed as I destroyed the remnants of my marriage to her, destroyed what I had in my life of hers. Every part of my soul screamed in pain that it felt.The tears I shed weren't my tears they were the painful cry of my torn soul and bleeding heart.

Every photo of the past and present rested under my shoes torn and crushed besides one. Our wedding photo hung on the wall proudly. We looked happy, in love with each other. It showed how much we were into each other but it was all a lie. It was only me loving her not her loving me.

In a quick movement, I picked it off the wall and threw it on the floor. The glass fell into pieces. Everything was destroyed.

There would never be a Cheryl in my life again. She was nothing to me but a past I wanted to forget. She had ruined me for all woman. Taken away my life and soul from me. She has just taken and taken and hasn't given me anything, not even her love. She has torn me apart, hurt me, and berated my love for her. She has done it all.

Picking up the photograph from between the broken I tore it away. I kept on tearing it until I couldn't anymore. I screamed out for the love I never got, for the trust I never had and for the woman who was never mine.

"Fuck you, Cheryl," I cried out in the empty room falling to my knees. I screamed and cried for no one to hear me. It was because of her I was alone. It was all because of her I was ruined emotionally. It was all because of her not loving and trusting me. Standing up I went to the bar and reached for my bottle of whiskey and a box of light.

Shoving all the pictures on the floor in a pile I poured the whiskey over it. Lightning the match I threw it in the pile and watched the last of Cheryl in my life burn.

Downing my whiskey with tears streaming down my face I saw it all burn and turn to ashes. My torn and tortured soul cried with me. Betrayed and bleeding heart doubled in pain with me burning her way. She was dead to me. I would never care about her and remember her. With this fire ends what all my past was.

We were over. There was no more Cheryl in my life.
