章 15: Heart Break

"It wasn't a dream at all!" I blurted out loud, still unable to believe that it had actually happened, that I willingly went to his arms and made love to Ace in abandon.

The sound of the shower running alerted my senses and I jumped to my feet in panic. Ace was still here! Oh my God what should I do now?

Krrrrring! Krrrriiiing!

The telephone starts ringing, nearly making me jump in shock. I jerked out of my reverie and just did nothing but stare at it for a second, battling myself if I should pick it up for not. In the end I decided not to answer the telephone. It will just stop ringing soon.

Any time soon Ace will return to the bedroom. I couldn't let him see me now. Not when we just made love last night. I rushed to my suitcase. I didn't take my time choosing what to wear, and simply put on the first t-shirt and shorts my hand came in contact with. I was done changing but the telephone was still ringing. I was having second thoughts if I should answer it or not, but the thought that it could be an emergency made me reach for it.

I let out a deep exasperated sigh as my trembling fingers picked up the screaming phone, clicking on the answer button.

A tearful woman from the other line greeted my ears. I was concerned. However, whatever sympathy I felt for her magically vanished when she spoke and I instantly recognized her voice.

Angela was on the line, hysterically crying. Asking over and over again where Ace had slept last night. Her frantic voice was ruining my eardrums and I had to move the phone away from my ears to protect them.

Angela sounded like a jealous and desperate wife. What would Angela feel if I spoke and told her that her boyfriend had slept with me, his actual wife, last night? I would be thrilled to hear how she would react if she knew Ace and I did more than just sleep on the bed.

"I didn't sleep last night! I'm so worried about you! You didn't answer my calls nor did you reply to any of my messages! Please come to the condo Ace. We need to talk please. I want you here with me."

Though I was tempted to announce that Ace was still in the bathroom, I kept my mouth shut. I don't want to speak to a woman below my level.

"Ace, please answer me. I know you're still mad. I promise I won't nag at you anymore. Please come back to me please."

I rolled my eyes. Angela has still no clue that it was me she was talking to and not Ace.

"I have good news to tell you, Ace! I'm three weeks pregnant!"

The phone slipped out of my hand after hearing her words.. It was as if a bomb had been dropped right in front of my face, paralyzing me for a moment.

I could no longer hear Angela's frantic cries. I could only hear the crystal clear sound of my heart falling to the floor and shattering into a thousand pieces. A knife stabbed my heart. Before I even realized it, tears were streaming down my face. I can barely breathe from the torture my heart was under.

Now that Angela was pregnant with his child, our marriage is over.

I couldn't provide him with an heir and Angela finally did. This is where the story between Ace and Phoenix ends.

Destined to meet but were never meant to be together.
