Chapter 47: chapter 47

Kylen's POV,Not like what I had expected my life to be. From a point of 'don't want to live' got me to 'fight for her', this has been the journey so far.Well, I did love my family. But they are stuck in a worse condition cause of me. I wanted to free them from myself. But got trapped within, when Sam came into my life.Again, when my hopes were turning into ashes, a Wrong  Bride fell into my arms.Dad was more in downheartedness after this tour of Den Burg.I honestly didn't hope for a shit, this time. So, I was okay. If I had to live in hell, then the hell shall be my reign.The door knocked and I knew it was the time to get back to LA, a place away from the swallowing reality. LA was a hollow escape and it always will be.All I could think was, whether I'm doing the right for her, or am I being selfish to not to lose her. Her being Eleanor.I swiped her name on my phone, in the airport. I was finding my trolly, so I didn't bother to face my screen.And crazy enough, Grandma answered the call. Actually, grams knew that I was returning today. But I had no clue that Nor was with her, at the mansion.Firstly, I thought of surprising Nor with my return, but then I thought of another one where she would be happier. That is why I told her to pick me up from the airport. The whole expedition, my thoughts were jabbed with Eleanor.We checked out from the terminal. Dad met someone, that got him busy in talking, while I silently marched towards the exit. She must be waiting. And also, I hate socializing with random mundane.No matter how depressed I was at the moment, I knew Eleanor's one smile could fix everything, at least for the nonce.I felt a pair of concerned eyes looking for me. Slowly turning towards my left, my mind took less than a fraction of a second to recognize those amber brown eyes.She was five feet away, yet the electric charges flew between us.Before I could catch her and hold her in my arms, I saw Shawn falling over his knees, begging her.This was not the fkng moment to be ruined.I have been fasting to see her and this guy didn't have a fkng better timing to plant a bomb!I made my mind to kick his ass, almost at the same time when I realized Eleanor hadn't let go off his hands yet. I'm not gonna lie, it did pierce me. I caught her glancing me. Maybe she enjoyed my turmoil expressions."Who is that with Eleanor?", dad asked, keeping a hand on my shoulder."Shawn.""You mean Sam's brother-in-law?"I cleared my throat, "Sam hasn't married Jenny yet.""Yet."I glared at my dad while he let out a chuckle. Some or the other way this Shawn is gonna be a pain in ass.We couldn't hear what they were conversing, and I didn't care to listen. That's the other point.Nor took Shawn aside, as the crowd was multiplying. Now, they were far from us, and I could barely spot them.Dad raised a brow at me. He was waiting to see if I was scheming to take any action."No.", I was quick, "I want Eleanor to finish her old chapter herself."I got inside the car with fierce silence. Dad ceased his teasing, observing the volcano building inside me.The anger's seed was not her or her ex. It was me!'Call me if you feel anything suspicious.', I texted.'Okay!', he replied.I left a man in airport, a bodyguard of mine to keep an eye on her. I wasn't a fool to leave her alone with that buffoon.When I got home, I rushed into my room and got into an icy shower. I kept my mind off the shore and did some breathing exercise that I learnt lately.It took me more than an hour to get back my rhythm to a normal pace.Going downstairs, grandma instantly acknowledged my mood as she hugged me soberly."I'm fine.", I replied, the words carried no emotion. She sat back on her wheelchair.I looked around and saw that Nor wasn't home yet."Yo! Sorry. It took me the longest to reach here!", Sam wheezed, standing at the entrance.He took a minute to understand the current atmosphere!Yeah, people were not worried about Eleanor's ex drama.They were in agony because of me and this tour's outcomes.We had thought this trip would bring us a new hope, but it erased the damn remaining light."Kylen, marry her.", grandma spoke, breaking the ice.I snorted, rolling my yes."She really is the one.", grams glared at my reaction, "She can tolerate your truth, Kylen and I'm sure she's the solution-""The thing is there is no solution for my problem! Stop building castles in air for god sake.", I held my hair."I agree with grams.", Sam folded his arms against his chest. His cold stare was constant at me.They don't understand what a huge blunder it would be."Screw everyone.", I clenched my teeth, "I'm not marrying her.""Do you even love her?"I turned towards Sam, "I love her more than the urge to die!""Die?", Sam shouted, "Grams, he is again thinking of to quit!"I fkng am thinking, actually.A lone tear escaped my lashes.Grams held my hand, "Please, Kylen.""Once said is done. I'M NOT MARRYING ELEANOR! NEVER!""And why is that?!", a raging-sore voice echoed.Eleanor stood before me with the tear marks visible on her face.______A small note:I'm not available till 24th of Jan 2025. I have sem end exams!The next chapters will be a Major Release.
