BEHIND OUR LOVE...

BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 55
BY MIEMIEBEE


IZZY'S POV;


Just as I turned and continued to walk James, appeared infront of me blocking my passage. "Izzy thank you for agreeing to come home with me, thank you so much. What would you like to have for lunch?"

"Nothing James" I snarled at him. "I want absolutely nothing from you, I followed you all the way here because of Fiona, don't misunderstand my reason of being here now. Can't you see? With what you're doing you're forcing me to forgive you and I don't want that. Stop acting nice and cool to me, I prefer the wicked, cold hearted, uncaring, as-" my last word was crushed on my lips as James crashed his lips against mine.

The kiss was hard amd angry. I tried pushing against his chest but I can't, I knew it would be no point since he was built like a rock. He manage to slide his tongue inside my mouth and I hate the way my body reacted to him. I hate how soft his lips are, I hate how our mouth moulded perfectly, I hate how he managed to make me forget my anger with just one kiss.

He gently pulled out and cupped my face with both of his palms. As our eyes met I quickly dropped my gaze to the floor, we are so close to each other that the air we are breathing crosses. I don't know what to do or to say anymore all I know is that I love James theres no denying in that but then I hate him I hate him he has some nerve kissing me, how dare he?

I stepped back away from his possession and that made him stare at me then he starts to talk. "I love you Izzy, morethan I love my own life, I miss everytging about you, I miss your lips, your voice and everything, please stop sending me away. I have been telling you this, I'm a changed man now I will never harm nor hurt you again.
Remember, weren't you the one telling me there's a reason BEHIND OUR LOVE? all I ask is for you to give me a chance to love you, please Izzy" he state as he tried to move closer to where I'm standing.

"Don't James, don't come near me again, I can't ever forgive you for what you did, how you murdered my child, I can't ever forgive you. Just stay the hell out of my life your presence affects me James, whenever you're around me I feel weak I can't even protect myself now because I love you."

He took another step forward. "What did you just say? You love me?"
"Yes James I love you but that doesn't mean anything I just said it to the air, I want an annulment James, I can't stand your possessiveness anymore, I don't want to forgive you but you are forcing me do it. Is better we stay far away from each other and cut of this marriage."

"No Izzy you don't mean that-" I cut him off "I sure mean what I just said now I want an annulment and if you won't corperate with me I swear I'll call everyone including your dad and tell them what you did to me and my gone child."

His eyes rapidly fill with mositure and soon enough he was crying. He closed the gap between us, "No Izzy please don't do this to me, please I can't do without you, I'm loss without you. Don't cut off this marriage please, I know I can't stop you but please I beg of you don't do that." Just then my eyes scanned through his fingers and he is wearing his engagement ring today. I thought he has threw it away, I didn't know he have saved it somewgere safe for all this while then suddenly I felt weak again.

"You don't want me to get an annulment?" He nodded. "Then stay away from me, stop talking to me, stop interfaring in my business, cut out anything that will bring you and I in contact."

He wiped off his tears before saying, "if thats what you want I'll do it Izzy, I agree to all that and I'll abide by it just don't stop me from performing my duties as a husband to you, I'll cook for you, take you to school and all that just don't stop me please." I hissed at him and walked to my room.

Reaching to my room, I threw myself onto my bed. I don't know why but I just bursted out crying, I was crying for no reason. I cried myself out until my eyes were all puffy. I stood up and went over to wash my face. Searching for my side bag I couldn't find it then I remembered it was with James earlier I have to go get it so as to call Fiona as she asked me to even though I don't want to.

Coming out of my room, I saw my bag by the sofa, I went over and picked it up just then my eyes set on the dining table, there were lots of food warmers on it. I walked over and opened them one after the other. The food smells so good and gosh I'm hungry I didn't know the time when I dropped my bag and served myself, in just some minutes I finished and still not fit I add another one more plate...

JAMES' POV;

I actually can't believe this, why is Izzy giving me such a hard time, why can't she give me a second chance? I know I've been a beast before but not now, I'm really a changed man I just don't understand why is it so hard for Izzy to love me. Yes she said she love me but didn't mean it, she is even thinking on getting an annulment.

Oh God no I can't lose Izzy, I'm lost without her. I managed to prepare lunch for her before I picked up my keys and left for a bar, I can't take it anymore, I don't know what to think again I need to drink so as to brain wash all that is happening.

I drank 2 bottle of beer and I still wanted some more, a man I don't know who he was came barging into my affair. I was intensed with anger how dare he tell me what to do? I needed someone to blame what has been happening with me lately and I've found one. I punched the guy and the guy punched me back, we broke into a dirty fight because of how drunk I was the guy took advantage of me, he punched me and beat me off. My face was bleeding all over before some men seperated us.

Even when I came out, blurred imaged is all that I can see I can't even identify my car so I decided to walk off even though I don't know which way back home is, I was just walking without knowing where I was going. It started to get dark and I still didn't get home. My head and eyes were turning, the next thing I noticed was how I was surrounded by some thugs.

"Hey dude!" The other called out, "give us some money."

I ignored them and continued working without direcrion. The other punched me right to the face, when I tried puching him back the other two held my hands restricting me. That was how the got advantage of me drunk, they beat me up mercilessly, every part of me was bleeding, when they got me beat up they threw me to the ground and took my wallet away before they left.

I tried to get up but I couldn't there was no one on the street to help me out, and gradually my eyes start to close until they fully closed.

IZZY'S POV;

Where could James be? He left here since 2 and its 7 now in the evening and he still isn't home. He has never been this late, or did he travel? But he would have told me he is going to, then where could he be? Gosh! Why am I even bordered about him?

I tried ignoring the thought. 3 minutes later I was pacing in the sitting room my conciousness is telling me James is somewhere not safe. I brought out my phone and tried dialing his number something I've never done in a long time, it rang and rang and there was no answer. I tried for the second time and for the third time and still there was no answer, I'm starting to get more worried. God something bad must be happening to James I can feel it.

I called Fiona instantly and told her what the problem is, she is also worried and is even blaming me for not calling her on time. She told me her husband isn't home so she don't have anyone to drop her by. I know its awkward but I need to call Ryan now he is the only one I can think of.

After explaining things to him to my suprise he said he is on his way I thought he would get furious but he didn't in just 15minutes he came and we left to search for James. I was morthan confused, I don't even know what to do, Ryan is the one calming me down I know for sure if something bad were to happen to James, it will be my fault 'cause I made him feel I don't love him, I didn't just stopped there I also told him I will be getting an annulment. Oh God please don't let anything bad happen to James.

Ryan's voice caught me. "Izzy where are we going now?"

I amswered nervously. "Everywhere Ryan, everywhere we can get find James."

"Izzy calm down, I know this is not easy but you have to calm down and tell me where does James visit frequently so we can go there and see, we can't just start searching for him in the whole of Lagos." he states calmly.

Moisture are froming in my eyes now, "I really don't know too Ryan. He hasn't been going to office two days, he hasn't been going anywbere and just today he left without notice. Wait... He might be in the bar, the last time he has thousand of things running in his mind he went to the bar, lets go check him there please."

Right then we headed for the bar, Ryan was about taking a sharp turn when I saw someone lying dead on the ground, and that person looks exactly like James omi'god its James. "Ryan stop! That must be James, omi'god what happened to him??" I started crying instantly. Ryan quickly stopped the car and I came out running towards the person I'm suspecting its James.

As I turned the person's face I saw it's James. Its James. He seem so lifeless. His nose, mouth and head are all bleeding. He isn't breathing also. I tapped him in the face and he wasn't responding. How will he even respond whilst he isn't breathing.

"James! James! Please wake up, don't die please. James!" I hugged him crying my life out, I even forgot that Ryan was standing beside me. "I killed my husband I'm the one to blame for what happened to him, I shouldn't have told him all those harsh words, I shouldn't have...." I state under my breath crying.

"Izzy lets hurry up and take him to the hospital, we don't have time to waste." Ryan thought.

"Ryan I've killed him, I've killed James."

"No you did not Izzy, get up lets take him to the hospital before something bad happens to him again. I'm sorry." Ryan hoist me up and I watched him pick up James by his shoulder to his car, he put James in the back seat and I stood there shedding tears looking at them. "Come lets go" he beckoned me over. I went over and opened the back door, placing James' head on my thigh.

Tears won't stop coming out from my eyes, I held his hand tightly in mine. Ryan was driving so fast.
