Part forty seven

This chapter is dedicated to all the readers of this book who have come this far and will hopefully end it with me😪💖

I borrowed someone's words here😁 @EneyeEbikeme💖

Monae's POV

Instead of understating what went on, he has comfused me the more.

"What you you exactly mean?"

"She didn't tell you exactly what happened and the only possible explanation is she didn't trust you enough to tell you the whole truth. It's true she and I dated, like who wouldn't want to have Imo for his girlfriend back in the days? She was undeniably beautiful, mind you not much more beautiful than you." He explained and nuzzled me. "She was your typical blond barbie, such a hot cake then. I loved her for years although I hadn't spoken to her before despite we being neighbours. Almost every guy at school loved her so it got into her head, she became haughty and because I loved her, I looked past it and began to change myself for her. I learnt she had this thing for blue eyes blonde boys so I changed my whole look which worked because she finally noticed me and we ended up dating. It was then I realized she wasn't born to settle down with one man, she liked being involved with more than one but I kinda changed her.

Not completely though because even when we were together, she was also seeing other guys behind my back. The only good thing was she played around but never had sex, again I overlooked that. Imo swore I was the one she loved and was going to give herself to, not that I minded but I was happy she felt that way towards me.

So I forgot how much of a player she was, when I graduated and went to the University, I at first wanted to fly home every weekend just to spend time with her but my academic schedules got tighter and tighter. We started communicating less and less, I always made the attempt but she never did, it was as if she didn't love me and the information I got from the friends I had back at home was far from encouraging. I loved her so much that it was starting to affect my studies, luckily enough Heidi noticed it and put me back on track.

What tore the veil that her love blinded me with was when her own friend sent me her sex tape with her then boyfriend and his friends. Apparently, she had been trying to get her to amend her bad ways but nothing so she got fed up with how Imo was treating me and sent them to me. I confronted her and she rather accused me of something I didn't do, I got mad and you know the rest."

I was left speechless and never have I ever felt betrayed and used

than today after he concluded his explanation. My mouth was opened in shock, Imo hid all these from me and even presented herself as a victim of a lie when in reality, she was guilty and excuse me to say shameless.

And becuase of that I without a second thought left my love, left my home and everything just for her. I thought she was the victim of an injustice and that she deserved happiness in her life which was Michy.

I can't believe I was a fool for putting her happiness before mine when she didn't deserve it. Honestly I loved her as a sister but now it was only anger I felt for her, she's a selfish lying bitch and no less than her mother and brother.

Oh my! It hit me that Michy was always right about them! He was always warning me about how atrocious they are yet I never believed him, thinking he has totally allowed his dislike for them control him.

Oh God, I've been a fool!

"I never told you about this because I know the love you have for her and how selfless you are. You hate taking what belongs to people and I had the feeling she had painted herself as the good person to you so even if I told you, you would have made me go back to her--"

"You're right. That night after I left you in the room with my things, she came into the elevator and told me you never loved me. She made me believe you and her had been in contact all these years and even when we got involved, you told her everything but you only felt pity for me that's why you pretended to love upon her request. She also told me I was lucky I had found out early and not after you two were wedded and starting a family---"

Michy tensed, balling his hand into a fist. "That bitch!--"

His eyes showed anger, eztrsmd anger that was going to be followed by serious consequences if I don't get him to relax. "Michy, calm down---"

He shook his head. "No don't expect me to calm down. How do expect me to when she lied to you! She was the reason we separated, the reason you went through pain and you're telling me to calm down?--"

"I know Michy." I said and cupped his face, that seemed to work because be released his fisted hands and exhaled heavily. I forced his head to my level for him look at me.

"I've realized it amd I've realized she isn't worth you getting worked up. Imogen thought she could separate us and have you for herself but look how her plan backfired. I'm here with you today, our love stronger than ever, the trust between us too strong for lies and deceit to penetrate through, so please."

"What if I tell you I heard everything you said and even though you're right I won't listen to you? I'll make her pay?" He asked thoughtfully.

"Baby, like just please listen to me--"

Hd shook his head as he cut me off, "no, you don't get this, she was the reason Rexford ruined my sister's life!"

"What?!"

"You're stunned aren't you? You have no idea who Imogen really is, she's a deceitful and manipulative person. She lied to Rex like she did to you, making it look like I was the bad guy then he took revenge on me by using Heidi!"

"My God!" My hands instantly flew to my mouth, this is too unbelievably shocking!

Things were deeper than I thought, this Imogen is a completely different person than the one I considered my sister.

I was too dumbfounded to say anything else, this was far from what I expected to hear when I asked Michy for explanations. This is different, utterly different from what I know and I still can't believe I had been  a very big fool, I doubted someone who's intentions for me were always right.

"I'm so sorry." I hugged him, "for believing her over you. You kept telling me, warning me of how evil they are yet I didn't listen to you..." I paused and sniffled. "I'm responsible for every single pain we've gone through, they are all my fault and mine alone and now I feel so stupid--"

"Hey, hey, don't say that. Come on look at me," Michy pulled me from him and cupped my face. "Don't ever call yourself stupid. I was as fault as much as you were so even I should apologize for keeping secrets away from you when I should have been transparent with you, it's very important in a relationship and I failed to do that, I'm sorry--"

I shook my head, I don't agree. "If I had listened to you, if I had trusted you--"

He placed his finger on my lips and stopped me from saying anymore. "Shh, it's nothing. We should rather be happy we've overcome this hurdle and come back even stronger and so much in love than before but to be honest with you, I felt you didn't love like I did or didn't love me at all at some point in time. Forgive me for saying this but I was the one doing all the work in every step of our relationship, you never gave in anything so you took my love for granted and didn't trust me. Imogen must have known and used our weakness against us."

"I'm ashamed but I can't deny what you said isn't true, aside not putting in any efforts, I let my insecurities and fear control me. I claimed I loved you yet I didn't, I only gave a small part of myself so I don't get hurt if things don't turn out right between us and didn't realize it was so wrong. I was so selfish and it costed us, gravely and no amount of words can bring back everything we lost."

He pressed his lips into a smile and kissed my forehead. "But we can always continue from where we left off, move on like nothing happened and learn to love and trust each other more. As humans we are always going to make mistakes and be immature, that's what makes us humans and even more if we learn from them so forget about everything, forgive yourself, forgive me and let's move on."

"Why are you always this understanding with me? I'm stupid, naive, immature and I act like a spoilt brat yet you always make me feel like I'm perfect."

I don't deserve him.

"You have flaws and so do I have mine. I've learnt in these years of my life to see beyond people's shortcomings and accept them for who they are, therefore I'll forever love you unconditionally, accepting both your flaws ans perfection. I can't love you nased on what you have, what if they aren't there anymore? That means I'll stop loving you and that was never love, it was infatuation--"

"I love you so much and I'm very lucky to have you as my life partner forever, thank you for choosing me."

"I should be the one saying that because I'm the luckiest, you have no idea what you have done and continue to do to me. I'll forever thank God for sending you my say that night."

"Michy, if you have forgotten, we met during the day. In fact a hot afternoon for that matter." I reminded him and chuckled.

"No, I remember the first time I saw you very vividly like it only happened yesterday." I furrowed my brow in confusion, is he high on love? Michy saw it and smiled, pulling my cheeks. "I'm that guy who almost hit you with his car that night--"

"In Sin city!" I concluded, snapping my fingers. Yes, I now remember! I always knew there was something familiar about him, only I didn't how and where but I do now. I couldn't believe this, touching my cheeks I broke into a smile, the happy kind that reaches your eyes, "Oh my God...it's you, its really you."

"Yes baby, it's me, I'm the very same guy you had a hot verbal exchange with."

"What else could I have done? You were so annoying that anyone in my place will have done what I did if not even worse."

"Oh really, I was that annoying huh?" He faked surprise but still beamed. "Then how come you ended up having coffee with me and you looked like you wanted to cry when I was about to leave, you couldn't stop holding onto me."

"Hey!" I playfully hit his chest, smiling, "I wasn't that clingy and I didn't look like I wanted to cry and fod your information, your annoying self got me craving coffee that bad."

"True that, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Kinda."

His brow furrowed thoughtful of as he titles his head, "It wasn't a coincidence we met again, fate wanted us to be together so I found you after searching for two years."

"I can't agree less and we ended up falling in love--"

"We had no choice but to fall in love after all we're made for each other."

"Here and forever, I love you Michele." I finally said the words I've been dying to repeat again and slammed my lips on his.

"I love you too, baby."

*******

I giggled, inching out of the water that was smelling heavenly to burst the bubbles floating around with my finger.

Sighing in contentment, I fell back into the bathtub and closed my eyes to enjoy the comforts and luxury of the warm bath I was pampering myself with.

It's all good.

Everything is just perfect.

I'm a bubble of contagious happiness that can never be busted cause this joy I'm feeling is undoubtedly going to be forever.

Once again my life has fallen back into place. Joy, peace, happiness, security and above all love have returned into my life now that Michy and I have come back to our senses.

I run wearily, far away from where I was supposed to be yet in the end, I found myself back to my eternal home, Michy.

And now even if I die today, I won't gnash my teeth and regret. I'd be happy I spent my last hours with the love of my life.

My thoughts were broken by a pair of hands resting on my shoulders and not too long, Michy leaned closer and brushed his lips against my ear. "Can I join you?"

Jolts rushed through my body at how husky his voice was the way his lips felt on my skin. I resisted the urge to open my eyes and focused on the feelings I just had.

I nodded, breathing out softly a yes when his hands left my shoulders and trailed down to my chest.

An eager Michy joined me and as quickly as he did, I felt his lips on my neck.

I shot my eyes open, gripping his back, I ached my back so my upper body was now out of the water when he began to suck there, going further up to behind my ear, precisely at the sensitive spot.

Before I could process and take in the excitement, he was travelling down to my chest.

A soft moan escaped my lips and I thank God this floor was far away from the servants cause I don't trust myself to keep quiet from the pleasure coursing through me.

*************************

At this rate I can say Michy is on a baby making spree😂😂.

And finally these two immature children are back together😏
