She looked into his eyes and said, " Seven years are not enough to punish me! "
She hugged him and started crying, " I am so sorry, Lawrence. Don't leave me again". He stepped back and said, " I have no time to watch your drama anymore. I came here to spend some time with my best friend. Don't spoil my mood…"
" Please….Lawrence...don't say that. I was searching for you for seven years. If you still doubt my love, why don't you ask Adrian!! " She said while crying.
" I don't want Adrian to know about us. If you try to drag Adrian or Kathie between this issue, the consequences will be very bad." He warned.
" Please….Lawrence. Let's talk and clear our misunderstandings. Why don't you give me a chance to talk! " She pleaded.
" I have nothing to deal with. Moreover, I am not interested in you because now I have a girlfriend and I am going to marry her soon. So stay away from me and my life…" he declared.
" I don't believe that you have a girlfriend. I know you loved me sincerely. Still, I am only the person in your heart " she shouted.
" Yes….I loved you in the past. It was my mistake to love a person like you. But now I love someone else. I have someone special in my heart. Better don't try to disturb my peaceful life once again " he said strictly.
" Okay. I will not disturb you again if you tell me who is the person you have in your heart " she questioned fisting his shirt. Then he took out his mobile and opened
the gallery in his mobile and said, " You wanted to know who she is. Fine….see". He showed the photos of the girl kissing his cheek and he had a wide smile on his face.
" Hope you got your answer then leave me…" he said in a serious tone. Instantly she took her hands away from his shirt.
Her heart shattered when she saw the pictures on his mobile. The tears were rolling over the cheeks continuously. He adjusted his shirt and said, " I think you will get a good role in acting. Why don't you try any TV soap operas! " in a mocking way.
She looked at him with teary eyes and asked, " I never thought you will hate me this much even after seven years"
He laughed sarcastically and said, " Among the people I hate the most on the earth is you and your father "
" My dad!! " She asked with bewilderment.
" Yes...as daughter like father…." He told her. Then he continued, " Don't act as if you don't know what your father did with Kathie. "
" What are you talking about! " She asked him confusingly.
" What a great actor you are !! " saying he clapped his hands.
" Lawerence …..please...I don't know what you're talking about…." She said,
" Really!! Should I believe you!! " He asked, pinning her to the trunk of the big tree behind her. He pressed her throat with his right hand in anger. She could not breathe due to the right grip around her throat.
" What are you doing? Are you out of your mind? " She shouted and ran towards them then pushed him away from her. She shouted, " Are you trying to kill her? Huh? What harm she did to you!!"
" Don't you remember what her father tried to do to you?" He shouted, fuming in anger.
" But it was not her mistake. She is innocent. Don't you know she is the one who canceled her engagement with Adrian so that I can marry Adrian " she explained to make him calm?
" You are so innocent, Kathie. It's the game of both daughter and father. Why are you blindly believing her? " He said.
" She is very kind at heart and I have known her for many years. Stop accusing her " Katherine said in a serious tone.
" So ...you don't believe your best friend? " He questioned.
" I believe you, Martin. I mean to say that there was a misunderstanding with her because you don't know anything about her…" Kathie explained
He had a sad smile on his lips and looked at Emily. Then he said, " I am leaving. I don't want any argument with you because of her" Katherine held his wrist and stopped him. " You are not like this. What happened to you suddenly? "
" Nothing ...let me go…." He replied determinedly.
" I stayed back at home to spend time with you as you are leaving the city tomorrow. If you go now, I will feel bad" she said in a sad tone.
"Okay. I will leave this place. I don't want anyone to be disturbed with my presence " Emily said as she was feeling sad. She walked away from them but before that, she turned to them and looked at Kathie, " I don't know what my father did. But behalf of my father, I am apologizing to you"
" Wow...what a great actress she is!! " Martin mocked her.
" Martin...what happened to you today! Why are you behaving weirdly? " Katherine asked.
He walked seriously towards Emily, dragging Katherine's hand, " If you want to hear from us what your father did to her then I will tell you even if you knew. Listen…. Your father arranged a person to drug Katherine in the event. He wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone ".
Emily was startled by his statement. She never expected that her father would steep down. She looked at Katherine to confirm his words and asked, " Is it true? Is that reason why Adrian was not talking with me properly?"
Katherine nodded her head meekly and walked towards her. She placed her hand on Emily's shoulder and said, " But I trust you. I know you will never do such things…"
Emily smiled sadly and replied, " Thanks at least you keep trust in me. And I also give you a word that my father will never interfere in your lives…."
" Bye…" she said, looking at Martin with hurtful eyes.
