CHAPTER 22 (Part 1)

Caelan Rainer Vassamonte POV

I MASSAGE my forehead when I felt my head aching so bad. Uh... Fuck that drink! Damn this hangover. I shut my eyes tightly as I was calming myself. After a few seconds I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was my white ceiling.

How did I get in my room? Suddenly, my eyes widened when I realized that I was here in my room. Who brought me here? The last thing I remembered last night was I lost my consciousness. I was shocked when I saw that I was only wearing a white shirt and boxer shorts.

Fuck Caelan! Who drove you here? I felt myself to see if there was any pain in my body but I couldn't feel anything.

I groaned a bit after licking my lower lip. Damn my lips hurt. My heart beats harshly inside my chest when I saw my swollen lips while looking at the mirror. I closed my eyes when some memories from last night flashed inside my head. I saw a woman with a blurry face. My lips parted as I looked at my face in the mirror.

My hair is still messy. My gaze went to my jaw. My lips parted even more when I saw the red mark. The fuck! Who fucking did this? My heart beats faster as I realized something.

Did I just make out with another woman last night? With that thought, my chest suddenly tightened. I shook my head quickly. No I'm not! I don't have another woman. No. I didn't kiss anyone last night. There's no one I kissed last night! Damn it Caelan!

Fuck! I didn't cheat! I swear I didn't. I harshly pulled my hair and cursed loudly. I kicked the chair next to the mirror. I looked for my cellphone with trembling hands. I quickly saw it on the bedside table. I immediately looked for Luka's number. Please answer my damn call asshat.

My face lit up a bit when the other line answered the call.

"Fuck you! My fucking head is still aching. what do you need?" Luka asked and cursed on the other line.

"Did you drove me last night here in my condo? Did you see me unconscious in the parking lot?" I asked nervously. Luka laughed on the other line like he heard some joke.

"Fuck it, didn't you go home first last night? Because you said you were going to drive? Then I just know right now that you lost your consciousness. You're so funny." Luka muttered and laughed so hard.

I massage my temple. So they weren't the ones who drove me here last night? If it's not them, then who fucking drive me here? And who did this mark and small cut on my lips? Did I really make out with another girl last night?

With shaking hands, I immediately hung up and sat on the bed. I felt my chest tightened when I saw the picture of my wife inside the picture frame. I didn't notice that my hot tears were slowly streaming down to my cheeks.

I'm sorry I was drunk last night. I don't know what really happened. I'm sorry Mommy. Only now did it really happen! In six years I have been careful. But why wasn't I'm being careful last night?

Multiple knocks on my door made my eyes widen. Fuck! Who's outside? Using my trembling hands I slowly opened my door.

My eyes immediately landed on the woman with blue orbs. The woman looked at me worriedly. I saw fear in her eyes while looking at my wet cheeks. I froze in my tracks when I saw the entirety of her face. I blinked countless times while looking at her face. The beating of my heart went faster when her right hand flew to my cheeks.

I flinched a bit at the contact. Is this a fucking dream or what? Am I hallucinating? Do I see the face of the woman I love because I feel like I have committed a sin? Talliah I didn't cheat...

"Hey baby," The woman who has the same face with my girlfriend softly called me.

I didn't react and just stared at the entirety of her face. Why does she look so much like Talliah? It's so impossible that she's my girlfriend. My girlfriend left me six years ago. how come she's here in front of me?!

But when she smiled at me. I think my world just stopped a bit. My tears immediately stream down like a water falls. Damn it! Can someone slap me now? It can't be. It couldn't be that Talliah in front of me right now!

She's not real Caelan. Maybe you're just hallucinating. You still have a hangover. That's right. I'm convincing myself.

Talliah Eryn Castillego POV

My heart painfully beating inside my chest when I saw the fresh tears of my baby cascading down to his cheeks. He didn't even blink while looking at my face. He was just dumbfounded while observing my whole face. I quickly wiped the tears away from his cheeks.

"I'm so sorry b-baby," My voice cracked a bit.

"I'm back. Don't you missed me?" I uttered while smiling softly at him.

Rainer shook his head while looking unbelievably at me. As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. His eyes are so confused while looking at my face.

"You're not real. I'm just hallucinating." He mumbled in a whisper.

I smiled painfully while looking at his brown orbs "Touch my face and you will know that I'm real." I urged him.

He shook his head again while palming his face using his two hands.

"Fuck this! It's hard to hope, you know that?" He suddenly shouted that surprised me.

"It's hard to hope that you'll come back suddenly, even if it's true, or it's not! If you're just an imagination. Please disappear immediately... Because if you wouldn't, I might really hope that you'll really come back..." He said with difficulty as he stared at my eyes

He closed his eyes tightly like he's so much frustrated and hurt. He cursed again and again making me cry. He's not convinced that I came back.

I quickly hugged him so tightly that made him stunned. I cried on his chest while he was panting heavily. I caressed his back to calm him down.

"Please calm down hmm... Please baby hear me out. Let me explain. I understand your anger right now, but please listen to me mmm..." I mumbled softly.

I heard how loud the beating of his heart. I looked up at him. Only to see his crying face. He looked down at me and our eyes immediately met. He was biting his lower lip to stop himself from crying. I tiptoed a bit to kiss his Adams apple.

"I'm s-sorry," I whispered in his ear.

Rainer looked at me longingly. I thought he would talk back but I was stunned when he got off my hands from hugging him. He quickly wiped the tears falling down his cheeks before he left in front of me. He quickly returned to his room. I heard how he locked it from inside making me gulped.

I walked towards his door and my heart crumpled hearing his cry inside.

"Baby I'm sorry. Please forgive me..." I whispered in the air.

I held my chest when it ached. I thought he would be happy to see me. Because of what he said last night I hoped he would be happy to saw me back. I know I've hurt him big time. But I can't afford to hear his cries. The pain hurts because I am the reason why he is hurting now.

I am the one who is causing pain on his soft heart. He's hurting because of me.

Sighing heavily I decided to go home to get some clothes. For now I'll let him accept that I'm here again. Maybe he's just shocked and he feels that being here in front of him is not real.

I immediately drove my car to my house. I put my clothes in a black backpack. I only put important things. Suddenly I sat on the edge of the bed with a realization.

I can't tell him right away that we both have twins. It will only shock the hell out of him. Right now I will first explain to him why I left suddenly. The heck Talliah! The reason why you left is you're bearing a child that time. That's why you left right? So what is your reason now huh?

I massage my temple. I thought it would be easy to explain, but it was very difficult!

My phone rung causing me to come back from deep thinking. My heart immediately felt warm when I saw the caller. Caelliah video chat. I immediately accepted her video call. I laughed when I saw her plump cheeks so close to the screen.
